About
Ted's Cafe Escondido might sound like just another Tex-Mex spot, but it's a local institution housed in a remodeled house in Nichols Hills. This full-service restaurant has been serving made-from-scratch Mexican food since 1991, with a commitment to freshness that sets it apart. The casual, intimate setting makes it feel like a neighborhood gem rather than a chain.
Locals know to expect a wait, especially on weekends. But the famous fajitas and full bar make it worth it. Regulars appreciate the free wifi and the fact that every meal is prepared from scratch daily. You'll find a diverse crowd here, from families to couples grabbing dinner after work.

“Bad Everthing”
Ted's Cafe Escondido in Del City is terrible. The food is way too salty, and the rice was hard and dry. I told the owner about the problem, and he said he would mail a comp letter but never did. They are on social media, and when I posted about my experience, they deleted it. I will never return to this place.
