Escondido's in Freehold

[peanutgirl]

Has anyone here eaten there? Tuesday is kids eat FREE day so I figure we'll at least get our money's worth... but how's the food...anyone?

Absolutely terrible. Do yourself a favor and go to El Meson if you want Mexican. I'm not a big fan of Moore's Tavern next to Escondido's, but the kids meals at Moore's are a pretty good deal (I think they include dessert). Even Chili's on Rte. 9 is a better option than Escondidos.

I concur. Escondido's is awful. Think Friday's or Chili's but even worse. El Meson is the best Mexican around.

Where's El Meson? (my parents live in Freehold, and they like Mexican...)

El Meson is on Main Street in the Borough across from the bus station. IMO, the best Mexican in Monmouth County.

Just pileing on, Escondido's is awful. El Meson has some of the best Mexican fare in or out of Monmouth County IMHO of course.

I wish I had time to read everyone's responses before we left. You guys were dead on... the food was terrible. Husband said that's the 1st & last time we'll be going there. My daughter said even *gasp* Taco Bell has better bean burritos, critic that she is.

El Meson sounds promising. Is there a thread on it already? Haven't had time to do a search.

Oh, and thanks for not pointing out that there is no apostrophe in Escondidos!
