Esco Restaurant &amp; Tapas

Celebrity-Owned Restaurants You Should Know

"Celebrity: 2 Chainz With double-parked SUVs and tight one-ways all around, parking near Peters Street will have you reaching for a painkiller. Esco, from Grammy-winning rapper 2 Chainz, tries to make it all worth the trouble, but it ultimately falls short. It doesn’t matter how nice the waitress is or how well the bartender behind you sings Fantasia’s “When I See U” when tough calamari and bland mac-and-cheese egg rolls hit the table. The Cajun salmon and garlic mashed potatoes are pretty good, but we haven’t had broccoli that mushy since daycare. And if we’re keeping it a buck, sipping $15 cocktails from plastic cups doesn’t help our headache, either." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams

Took an whole hour for this little portion to come out. the fries were soft and had an after grease taste. The bartender took 5-7 mins to offer me a menu & was not attentive. $18 for 2 tacos, when its usually three.

Anytime I attend this location I usually have a good experience. However we were on the back patio, the tall male, with long dreads, African American server was very unattentive, nonchalant, took his time, brought our food out cold because he decided to do other things, when we try to get his attention he kind of waved his hand at us as if we were bothering him. We felt like he should not be a server, he did not want to be there and he was not attentive to our table at all. Then he has the nerve at the end of the night to tell us that if we needed anything further to just let him know after he had given us the bill which already has gratuity included on it. We would not have given him any type of gratuity everyone on the patio was complaining about him and he was not a good server at all! The food was pretty decent We had catfish nuggets, we had fries and drinks. Never had any complaints with the food at all it was decent. Attached is a pic of the back of the server.

This place is fairly decent. I have been a couple times and I can say that it’s one of those “safe places”; if you don’t know where to go, this is a great option to consider. Their Sunday brunch is something like a day party. They have a DJ, music and all of that fun stuff. I ordered their Esco burger and that was a 8/10. It was pretty good! We paid for bottomless mimosas and we kept receiving full pitchers of orange juice with a splash of champagne. Although we asked for our drinks to be balanced, we kept receiving the mimosas the same way. They went as far as adding ice to the carafes. I waited super long to get my food. It came sloppy, with missing ingredients. It was good but presentation was horrible. All of my friends enjoyed their food and we all agree that the place is overall 6/10 - a lot had to do with the service

Second time going different location first one had better food. We sat on the patio the long hair loc guy was very rude and charged us for items we didn’t ask for and would not refund. Took his time bringing the food and it was horribly over seasoned. I will never go back to this place . It’s never usually the same after you visit the first time and everything is on point. Came from Ohio and wanted this food badly to be treated like bums and received nasty food

Escobar is cool at times. I use to go here before in the past prior to covid and boy let me tell you we use to have a time. I really don't remember the cost but it couldn't have been as bad as now or I wouldn't feel so icky. I thought I left a 5 star review back then so I was coming here to edit it and realize that I never left the review. I was thinking about patronizing here tonight (monday) but I came sometime last year and they tried to make me pay $20 for parking on the side on a slow Monday night and I knew it was cap because the security settled for $10 like come on now😫. Also they have Fiji water bottles but they are $8. That seemed extreme to me. What it is is with this type of place you need to go in during happy hour or a particular night where they have some type of specials going on if you don't want to feel like everything is overpriced. That's why I went on a Monday but it still seemed too much so I said okay this is no longer the place for the funds in my pockets and that's okay. Lol 😅

Picking this restaurant was so random for me but boy am I glad I did! The Cajun salmon was so juicy and flavorful! The loaded mashed potatoes were out of this world! And the parmesan broccoli was to die for! Basically everything that I tasted was delicious! Definitely a nice find in the city! A must visit for everyone who likes a chill atmosphere. There’s also hookah and a lounge bar area. Gotta come back to taste the rest of the menu!
