Escondite earns high marks for a vibrant vibe, fast and friendly service, and a flavorful mix of Mexican dishes with an option to sample a bit of everything, and while many reviews praise the drinks and the overall experience, some guests note that portions are quite small for the price and a few policies or menu items feel rigid or inconsistent, which can affect how often they return.
Honestly the food & drinks tasted pretty good but the portions are questionable… Though , as Latina I feel like the Mexican culture isn't authentically represented. Let me explain:
Some of the menu choices are Asian?. 😅
There is general Tao, Korean styled tacos & the nachos are dumpling shaped?! I don't want to be rude but if I wanted Asian food I would go to an Asian restaurant. In my opinion, i could maybe get passed the portion if the food truly tasted Mexican but we left disappointed but good ambience overall.
The reviews were so positive, especially about the service, I thought they were by paid actors. Im happy to confirm that they are all true. Service was excellent. We realised that Pedro is an OG from the Union location. He really took care of us. I highly recommend the'experience' option. At 40$pp it's one of the best values right now. It lets you try a bit of everything & we loved each dish. For me some of the fusion options were real surprises (gyoza, general Chapo wingd, korean tacos). Drinks were a bit on the light side but were tasty. Pedro also explained that they will be opening a terrace in the summer so we're looking forward to that. We are lucky to have a bunch of great Mexican options in Brossard but you need to try this place out, especially if you are a fan of the downtown locations.
Très beau restaurant, le décor est réussi & il y a clairement beaucoup de potentiel.
Le guacamole, les drinks & le service étaient 5 étoiles - vraiment impeccables. Le personnel était attentionné & agréable, rien à redire de ce côté.
Par contre, la nourriture (menu dégustation à 45 $) était très ordinaire. Rien ne s'est vraiment démarqué & plusieurs plats étaient décevants. La salade de papaye & concombre semblait avoir été préparée la veille. Les tacos n'étaient pas agréables à manger - j'ai pris une bouchée de chacun & je les ai laissés. Les churros étaient secs.
J'ai vu plusieurs commentaires positifs, donc peut-être que c'était simplement une mauvaise soirée. Toutefois, avec toutes les bonnes options qu'il y a à Brossard, j'avais des attentes plus élevées.
L'ambiance manquait un peu de vie pour un vendredi soir. C'est un bel endroit, mais il manque ce petit quelque chose pour donner envie d'y retourner.
Service impeccable, beaucoup de choix de drinks, d'entrés, de tacos.... il y a une option dégustation qui permet de goûter à 3 entrés, 3 tacos & un dessert ce qui est très intéressant

Was super excited to try this spot out but I was pretty disappointed. I found that the tacos lacked so much flavour. I had heard such good things of this restaurant but I personally would not go back. The drinks were good. The chips & guacamole tasted like nothing, not even salty a little. The tacos needed sauce because the toppings & the meat were all bland. I would come here for the atmosphere, get a little margarita but that's it!
Escondite in Brossard is wonderful. I went with my friend for some drinks & snacks & had a lovely experience. Katerina was our server & she was awesome. She went through the menu thoroughly with us & was very kind. Very enjoyable & would definitely go back.
I honestly wasn't expecting this place to be that nice… We took experience & it was a lot of good food. Our waitress Katerina was so kind & recommended us delicious drinks. Thank you!
