" My experience at Puerto Escondido was quite enjoyable. The staff were all very polite and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy. I ordered the enchiladas and found them to be really tasty, with a definite kick of spice which I appreciated. The only downside was that portions could be more generous, but they still left me satisfied. Overall, it’s a lovely place to eat Mexican food in Idaho Falls. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had the best meal at Puerto Escondido! I can honestly say I haven't had such flavorful food in a while. The shrimp tacos were stuffed with juicy shrimp and paired with vibrant salsa—absolutely perfect! The waiter was also friendly and helpful, even suggesting some of their favorite dishes. Overall, this restaurant deserves all its praise. I’ll be making this place a regular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently paid a visit to Puerto Escondido while I was in Idaho Falls. The food was alright—nothing too remarkable, but decent enough. I found the salsa quite ordinary and the portion sizes could have been better for the price. The service was friendly but definitely on the slower side. It was a bit crowded, which may have contributed to that. I would consider returning to give it another shot under less busy circumstances. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every meal I’ve had at Puerto Escondido has been a winner! From the rich, flavorful mole sauce to the perfectly grilled fajitas, each dish is better than the last. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere has a homey feel that makes dining here all the more special. I love that it’s family-owned—that certainly shows in the quality of service and food provided! Highly recommend to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently enjoyed a lovely dinner here. I can’t say enough about how friendly the staff was—they made us feel like family. The food was also quite good, though I find some of the dishes more suited for the American palate rather than what I typically call authentic Mexican food. The fajitas were good but lacked some of the spices I usually love. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for an evening out. I will give it another try next time I'm in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
