A lively Roma Norte brewpub with solid Mexican plates and house beers, best for casual hangs, though pricing clarity and occasional noise may frustrate some.
Escollo delivers a pleasant brewpub experience anchored by spacious, well-lit Roma Norte setting and friendly staff, making it a solid choice for casual beer and Mexican snacks. However, uneven food quality and inconsistent execution—where some dishes shine while others disappoint—prevent stronger performance. The safety concern and occasional billing clarity issues further limit the grade, though the easygoing atmosphere and reliable bar service keep it worth visiting for pre-dinner rounds or neighborhood meetups.
A Roma Norte brewpub where the room feels spacious and lively, with friendly staff pouring house beers and a playlist that sometimes hits party volume. One guest summed it up: "Great place to grab a beer while waiting nearby." Pricing signage can be fuzzy at times, so keep an eye on the check for clarity at payment. The cooking leans classic Mexican bar fare—fish tacos, sopes, enmoladas—meant to pair with pints rather than chase culinary fireworks. People rave about the battered fish taco and find most plates solid if not showy, a fit for casual meetups and pre-dinner rounds more than long feasts. For families, the menu offers kid-friendly standbys like queso fundido, sopes sencillos, enchiladas, and pastel de elote. No stated kids menu, but portions and prices are approachable, and there are vegetarian and some gluten-free options if you need a simple, familiar bite.
