    My wife and I enjoyed our meals. My wife ordered the carnitas bowl. She noted it was very flavorful a good portion of food. I ordered the carne asada wood fired meal. The steak was just excellent. I enjoyed building my own small burritos with Mexican rice and pinto beans. I also ordered one of the house margaritas. It was good, I like the salt along the rim, but it came in a small glass. I guess I am used to larger glass when I order a margarita, but other than wanting a more ample pour, it was also a good drink. We will be back for the Tomahawk and share that meal. We enjoyed our pretty thanksgiving meal at Rancho Cantina.

    We almost always eat in Oakland, Berkeley and SF because it's hard to find good food and flavors through the tunnel. Hideout nails it. The lamb shank, the fried chicken, the squash all as good as you get in the City. Delicious. Could still use some work on their craft cocktails, but the food was excellent.
