"I was less than impressed with Escorpion. The service was almost non existant. I felt like the server was in too much of a hurry to answer any questions we had and when our drinks were empty there was not even an offer for a second round. Our food came out very late and we watched while others around us received their food first after arriving after us. At one point, a lady that wasnt our server (maybe a manager?) walked by and asked us how we were doing and, I kid you not- she didnt even stop long enough to listen to an answer.
The food was bland and not worth the wait. The only thing i enjoyed was people watching from the patio seating.

"Very munch our dinner here before going to the Fox Theater for a show. Food was excellent but the service was even greater! Our server made sure we were able to order, eat, and pay in time for our show, yet he didn't make us feel like our timeframes were a bother to him at all."

"The chips and salsa were very good. I had the chilaquiles and they were awful. The beans tasted like they were canned and the sauce tasted like canned tomato sauce. The ambiance appeared to be a bar scene on an off night. I would not visit again. Highly disappointing."

"I normally go here for drinks, but now I see the food is good as well. The chocolate zucchini dessert is the only exception. I do not recommend it. The service was fast and our server was very atttenative."
