Escondido was ok

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

escondido has a lot of visible cops. cops are mostly unapproachable. a simple question can turn into a go-to-jail situation. i'm more afraid of them than anything, unfortunately. city is shut down - coronavirus so you can't venture out.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Escondido is a nice place to stay. Would like to move out this way some day.

5/5 - Excellent

First time visitor (in town for a family event). Downtown looked nice but did not get to see much more than that.
