About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Escondido is the debut restaurant from Chef Fernando Ruiz, a three-time Food Network Champion (Beat Bobby Flay, Guy’s Grocery Games, Chopped), which opened in August of 2024.
Escondido brings together the bold, authentic flavors of Coastal, Central, and Northern Mexico in every bite. Indulge in our vibrant ceviches made from sushi-grade fish, savor the perfectly grilled mahi mahi, and fish tacos—all inspired by the Pacific Coast’s culinary heritage.
From Northern New Mexico ranches, we bring you the deeply flavorful and tender Short Ribs, Barbacoa, Al Pastor, and Carne Asada. And don’t miss our signature veal-stuffed Chiles En Nogada, a traditional Mexican dish that Chef Ruiz used to triumph over Bobby Flay!

    Very interesting menu and each member of our party really enjoyed their selection. We had to try the Chile En Nogada – The Dish That Beat Bobby Flay, which was exceptional.

    Escondido is a well designed restaurant serving a diversified menu of excellent Southwestern cuisine. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and we had an excellent meal with many options. The quality of the service was excellent but the kitchen is apparently quite small relative to the seating capacity of the restaurant and food came out quite slowly.
