Avaliações de Escalante's Mexican Grille Houston
Really enjoyed Escalante’s, especially thanks to Magali 😊 My husband and I went to Escalante’s the other day and had a great time. The vibe is nice—lively enough to feel fun, but still comfortable for a relaxed dinner. Our server Magali was excellent. She was really attentive in the best way—always there when we needed her, super friendly, and gave us some perfect recommendations. She made everything feel smooth and special. We’ll definitely ask for her section when we come back. The food was spot-on: • The guacamole was fresh and made tableside—bright, flavorful, and delicious. • The grilled fish was super fresh, well-seasoned, and full of great taste. • The steak was cooked perfectly—juicy, tender, with a nice char. • The margaritas were made from scratch with a great balance of tequila, lime, and agave—smooth, refreshing, and just right. Solid Tex-Mex, awesome service from Magali, and we’re already looking forward to going back. 🌮🍹
They say first impressions are so important. It's our first trip to Houston and looking for an authentic Tex Mex experience, we discover Escalante's. The ambiance was chill with latin music making us feel right at home. We were welcomed by the kindest, knowledgeable server Javier who helped us with our food choices. The food was amazing, the margaritas were fire, and we even had our shot of tequila for the road lol. Prices affordable, beautiful decor, whether date nite, power lunch, family time, Escalante's got you covered. Overall we had a fantastic dining experience and can't wait to return. Thank you Javier, success and blessings to all.
Bartender, Jose Luis, was amazing today and took great care of me! I had an off the menu item per recommendation and it was delicious. Spinach and mushroom enchiladas with fajita steak and roasted corn salsa. It was delicious. I also tried the seasonal drink menu, pumpkin spice tequila iced latte, it was as phenomenal!
Excellent food and service. Every time Rodrigo takes care of us, he ensures we have a great experience.

This place truly stands out. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and effortlessly cool. The food is consistently incredible — beautifully presented and full of flavor! But what really takes the experience to the next level is Rodrigo behind the bar!! He is an absolute pro — knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about giving good service!! Love this place!!!
We had a birthday party in a private room and the service and food was excellent. Our server Roger was helpful and not over bearing. It made the event smooth and easy.
Olga is our long time Friday night server - she is the best. Escalantes accommodates our dietary restrictions. Santi the manager always welcomes us with a smile and a positive thought. We wouldn’t eat anyplace else. Good food and great service.
We had a great experience at Escalante’s tonight. Our waitress, Olga, was outstanding - attentive, patient, and genuinely kind, especially with my kids. She made sure everything came out right, and kept things moving. Excellent service all around. We’ll definitely be back.
⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Service from José Luis at Escalante’s! I cannot say enough amazing things about José Luis! From the moment we sat down, he was warm, kind, and truly attentive in a way that you just don’t experience often anymore. He anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask, checked in at the perfect times, and made us feel genuinely taken care of the entire visit. His energy is positive, welcoming, and so sincere. You can tell he takes real pride in what he does—every recommendation was spot-on, every drink was perfect, and he handled everything with such professionalism and ease. It honestly felt like we were being looked after by a friend who wanted us to have the best experience possible. José Luis is the kind of bartender/server who elevates the whole dining experience. Escalante’s is lucky to have him, and we will absolutely be returning because of the outstanding service he provided. If you go, ask for him—you’ll thank me later!
We had an outstanding experience thanks to our waiter.(Jose Luìs) He was extremely attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and maintained a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. Drinks were refilled without asking, food arrived promptly, and he anticipated what we needed before we even said it. His service truly elevated the meal and made the evening memorable. Restaurants need more people like him absolutely exceptional!
We love our local Escalantes! We’ve been coming to this location for many years and have never been disappointed. It’s our go to restaurant. Jose was great tonight - very attentive and kind. There’s lots of great servers there. Ask for Jose at your next visit!
Quesadillas: Now extra cheesy, with gooey melted cheese binding the tender beef together. Without the spinach, it leans more toward rich and indulgent, with no earthy or slightly bitter notes — just savory beef and creamy cheese in every bite. Sides (Guacamole, Pico de Gallo, Sour Cream): These remain perfect companions. The fresh pico and creamy guac will cut through the richness of the cheese-heavy quesadillas, while the sour cream keeps things smooth and tangy.
Excellent service by Luis who attended our table. The music playlist was excellent, and the brunch menu was very enticing. We had steak&eggs and birria hash, both excellent. I’ve yet to see a tex-mex restaurant in Houston with a better brunch menu. We’ll be coming back to see Luis, as he recommended the enchiladas Suizas, which are my favorite.
Wow, what an incredible experience! My wife and I were lucky enough to be served by Rodrigo, and let me tell you, he was fantastic! We indulged in a stunning red fish dinner that blew us away! The happy hour was just excellent, and we couldn't get enough of it! And oh my goodness, the tres leches dessert was absolutely divine—truly a perfect way to end our meal! We are still buzzing from how amazing everything was!
I had such a great experience at Escalante’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious from start to finish. But what really made the night memorable was our server, Jose. He was attentive without being overbearing, made thoughtful recommendations, and checked in at just the right times to make sure we had everything we needed. His friendly attitude and genuine care made the evening feel special. We’ll definitely be coming back and asking for Jose!
I absolutely love this place! I’m from El Paso, west Texas, which borders Mexico and finding a place with authentic Mexican flavors is amazing! The atmosphere is above your typical Mexican restaurant as it’s addressed with service above superb. The workers are all bilingual and extremely hospitable. I’ve been to pricier restaurants that don’t treat you like you’re on a reserve list, but Escalante’s? Above five stars, I don’t understand how it’s never overwhelmed with customers. The service, food and price are far beyond what I’d expect from a mex-Tex restaurant!
Nice location, easy parking. Outdoor terrace dining available.. Food was delicious. Margaritas were tasty as well

Had the street taco appetizer as my meal. They were excellent & more than enough to fill me up. Son had the corn soup. He loved it!

I went for Happy Hour which is 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm which doesn't really give you much time after work to enjoy it. I ordered the queso and steak nachos. Both were really good! I appreciate any restaurant where the cheese is white and not yellow. The service was great at the bar. They offered suggestions and were very attentive. I had two margaritas and they were just okay, not a drink I'd have to have again which you would actually want. If I had another one I'd pay to add liquor.
First time trying this establishment, and overall it was a pleasant experience. While the food was a bit light on seasoning, all of the vegetables were extremely fresh, and the tortillas were clearly homemade. It felt intentional almost as if they wanted guests to truly taste the freshness of the ingredients, which I could definitely appreciate. On my way to lunch, I started reading reviews to get an idea of what to order and came across one that mentioned a bartender recommending the spinach enchilada with mushrooms, topped with roasted corn sauce, and adding steak. That combination was completely out of my comfort zone, but I decided to give it a try and ordered a side of red sauce as well. I’m so glad I did, this dish was absolutely delicious. It was fresh, well-balanced, and truly exceptional. I would definitely order this entrée again on my next visit. We also tried the sampler to get a feel for multiple menu items, which was a great way to explore their offerings. For drinks, we had the house margaritas with a Grand Marnier floater, so good 😋. To top it all off, our waiter, Elmer P., was amazing. He was very attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His service really enhanced the overall experience. My only complaint was that the carpet needs to be shampooed. Soon as you walk in you can smell the oder. Other than that everything else looked clean. I didn't utilize the restroom so not sure of its cleanliness.
It’s been a long time since I have been to Escalante’s and today was a treat! Our drinks were fantastic and the food was very flavorful. Our server, Roger, was attentive and made sure we had our fill of everything we needed! Paloma mimosa from the brunch menu was great, as were the spinach and mushroom enchiladas.
Mediocre overpriced Mexican food. Food was bland, menu items were not as described when served.
Their food is great and they are closes to where I live but they don't take reservations so they miss out on a lot of business from me. That's why only 4 stars.
This place is way over priced and is pretty bad. You can get better food at taco bell. My margarita was very watery...no tequila that I could taste. Service was ok. Food came out quick but there …

When food arrived at table, it wasn’t even warm. No waiter came to table even to refill water glasses. I don’t plan on returning.
