El Escondrijo - Santander

When you see the entrance you may think what the ... is this place as it looks dingy, but once passed the main entrance the bar gives onto 4 independent and differently decorated dining-rooms and also a couple of open air terraces. We booked a table for 12 in advanced because we had been told that it can get very crowded, and it did. We ordered goat's cheese salad which was supposedly for ONE, person yet 4 of us shared it, with three salads sufficed for 12 people, the same went for the calamari and the homemade croquettes. We then ordered the 4 Parrillada (mixed grill) Escondrijo which consisted of spare ribs, lamb chops, creole sausage, porterhouse steak and fillet steak with homemade chips (not the frozen stuff) and green peppers and it was deeelicious! For dessert the three chocolate mousse was excellent, as was the cheesecake and the homemade fig ice cream, raisin ice cream and raspberry ice cream. It was a feast day so they were really busy. And there was a point when service was a bit on the slow side. Other than that, we enjoyed the meal immensely.

We went to eat a few friends and asked for incoming octopus, lobsters and salad, then four of us asked for solomillo to do at the table and two, they asked for a roll. Everything was very good, and it was of quality. The only thing we have is that between dish and dish, it took a lot to attend to us. recommended site if you are not in a hurry.

It's very big, it's got a lot of eaters eating very well. if I needed to improve the cleaning and modernize the back-up facilities a bit

Hemos visitado este restaurante por primera vez y la experiencia ha sido muy satisfactoria. Pedimos varios platos para compartir, estaban bien preparados y deliciosos, además de ser muy abundantes. La atención de la camarera y del resto del personal fue muy cuidadosa, tuvieron detalles que vale la pena destacar. En general, ha sido una buena experiencia. A pesar de que los diferentes salones estaban llenos, el servicio del restaurante fue correcto. Nos vamos con muy buenas sensaciones, lo que significa que volveremos sin duda alguna.

La comida suele estar buena, pero no es nada del otro mundo, y depende del humor del personal, parece que te deben las últimas tres nóminas. Mejor evitarlo si tienes otra opción cercana abierta, sin mencionar el olor a fritanga que sale del comedor.
