" My visit was less than stellar. While I had heard good things about Puerto Escondido, I experienced quite a few issues during my dinner. Our server was friendly but seemed overwhelmed with the number of tables she had. I waited a while for my food, and when it arrived, I felt that it lacked the flavors I had hoped for. The tacos I ordered were mediocre at best. The best thing about my visit was the ambiance—nice and cozy, perfect for a date night. I might give it another try, but only if I hear some great updates first! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Idaho Falls, you HAVE to check out this place! It was our first visit and we were blown away by how authentic the food was. I had the pollo a la crema, which was creamy and delicious, while my husband enjoyed the carne asada. Each dish was packed with flavors we'd expect from a true Mexican restaurant. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, but the warm chips and salsa made us forget about the wait. Overall, a wonderful experience I would recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was expecting a lot from Puerto Escondido after hearing great reviews, but my visit fell a bit short. The food was average, and I found the prices to be a little higher for what was served. I'd heard about their famous salsa but was disappointed when it tasted quite plain. Our service was adequate but nothing special, which left me wishing for a more attentive experience. I'll consider trying it again, but it may not be my first pick next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This gem of a restaurant exceeded my expectations. The dishes I sampled were bursting with authentic flavors. I was particularly fond of the flautas. The staff was friendly, almost like dining with friends, and the atmosphere had a vibrant energy that made us feel at home. We were a little crowded in our booth but managed happily. I am seriously considering this as my go-to spot for Mexican cuisine. Very satisfied! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must say, the reviews didn't lie! This restaurant is hands down one of the best for Mexican food I’ve found since moving here. The salsa they serve is fresh and full of flavor—certainly the best I've tried! I enjoyed the sopes, and they were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere has a charming authenticity that complements the food. The service was prompt and eager to help with menu suggestions. Overall, a wonderful experience that I'm eager to repeat!

" I have been to Puerto Escondido twice in the last month, and I genuinely loved both meals. The first time, I tried their shrimp tacos and a margarita, which were refreshing and delicious. My partner had the mole chicken, which was excellent; I snuck a bite and could not get enough! The service was friendly, even during busy times, and it was a cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Puerto Escondido on a friend’s recommendation, and it was a mixed bag for me. The ambiance was inviting, but the food didn’t quite hit the mark. I had the carne asada, and I felt it was a little bland and not as fresh as I would have liked. However, I did appreciate the friendly service and the quick turnaround time on our meal. I might give it a second chance, but I need to do a little more research on suggested dishes! " (*Curated Review*)
