Escondite emerges in reviews as a vibrant Mexican spot with a strong atmosphere and a welcoming, lively vibe that makes it popular for groups and celebrations. The service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, though experiences can vary during busy periods. Food quality is praised for flavor and variety by many diners, with standout items including guacamole, mango salad, fish and birria tacos, and a range of churros and cocktails; however several comments call portions very small, tapas-like, and pricey for the amount delivered. Some guests feel the flavors are not as authentic or bold as expected, noting bland or underseasoned dishes and a lack of accompanying sides in certain orders. Many reviewers view the Experience menu or tasting flights as a good way to sample different dishes, though value remains inconsistent and some leave wishing for larger servings or better balance between price and portion. In essence, Escondite is seen as an attractive, well-run venue with generally positive food and top-tier service, yet both price and portion size can dampen the experience for those arriving hungry or on a tight budget.
L'ambiance était fun & décontractée & les cocktails étaient excellents. Le service était sympathique & rapide également. Cependant, le prix est radicalement élevé, surtout pour ce que c'est (164$/2 personnes). Les entrées étaient plutôt bonnes, mais les tacos étaient décevants. En soit, bon endroit pour partager des plats & un drink mais je ne pense pas y retourne
Le service était vraiment impeccable! La nourriture quoique délicieuse manquait parfois de petit quelque chose. Par contre, les gyoza nacho wow! & les drinks étaient aussi très bons! L'endroit est un peu bruyant quand plein de monde. J'y retournerai toutefois! :)

L'expérience globale était agréable ! Mes seules critiques sont un service un peu long pour recevoir nos drinks, & le plat choisi manquait un peu d'ingrédients. Après deux tacos j'avais encore faim... Ça aurait été sympa d'ajouter plus de salade, par exemple. Le cadre est très beau, & la musique en plus nous a fait passer un bon moment.
We had such a great lunch on their patio. Jeff provided great customer service. He even brought an umbrella to shade us from the sun that day. The drinks was were delicious. The tacos we had were very tasty. I didn't take pictures of the inside but it was definitely nice inside. I would definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner.
Le service donner par Kateryna etais impeccable & merveilleuse! Mais côté nourriture c'étais pas si incroyable les tacos étais sec & le poulet étais dure a manger c'étais comme si il on repris le poulet qui date de 2 jours & qui la juste mis dans les tacos 2/10 pour les tacos . Une chance quon a eu une bonne service car je le conseillerais pas ce resto. Les drinks & entrée cetais bon!
Went for a drink & Peter the manager was great ! He was very attentive & I really enjoyed my time. The food was good, & the blood orange margaritas are the best.

On est allé un dimanche pour le brunch & on a pris le choix « l'expérience » recommandé par notre serveuse Kataryna. C'était une très bonne recommandation, c'était délicieux & les portions étaient hyper généreuses, tellement qu'on a pris une partie take out. C'est un excellent prix pour tout ce qu'on a eu. Elle m'a aussi suggéré un excellent drink selon mes goûts. Service impeccable, nourriture & drink de qualité. Décor très cute. La vibe est vrmt cozy!
On a découvert Escondite au tout début, il y a plusieurs années, sur la rue Union à Mtl & nous sommes tombés en amour. Maintenant, les drinks sont trop chers ( Brossard ) & trop de glasses. La bouffe est bonne. Chaises ( Brossard ) très inconfortables. C'est bon pour la business, on s'éternise pas trop, lol !
Food was good, drinks too. We loved the terasse. Lovely service from Kateryna. She was professional & fast. She even brought candles to the terasse to make our atmosphere more romantic. Very kind & we will definitely come back!
The food was excellent, service was attentive & quick, our waitress Katarina was friendly & pleasant, she made sure we were happy with food & drinks! Atmosphere was trendy & fun! Highly recommend!
Escondite's Brossard branch is great. Our tacos were scrumptious creations, such that I couldn't decide which ones I liked more (Pork or beef). Nachos were stellar as well, with great guacamole. Staff was friendly, prices are fair, & I'm told the drinks were solid too. The only thing I'll say is that the parking situation is less than great for the south shore. Street parking in a fake downtown. Solar Uniquartier suffers from this in general, so it's not Escondite's fault.
The playlist really bumped the vibe, & Carla gave amazing service! Only thing I was not impressed about would be the ceviche, but the tacos were amazing & so were the drinks!

Nous avons reçu un super service par Jennifer! Elle s'est assuré de notre satisfaction toute la soirée, & nous avons passé un super moment en partie grâce à son excellent travail. Magnifique repas, super drinks. 11/10!
Food was good but I got an entire tray of drinks spilled on me & they didn't comp a single thing. They offered me a free drink even though my clothes were soaked for My entire meal.
Excellente expérience. Restaurant original, on peut y partager des tacos à plusieurs pour avoir une meilleure idée de toutes les options. Il y avait seulement 2 serveurs mais ils couraient pour s'assurer de vous servir. Endroit idéal pour un repas avec plusieurs personnes, un peu bruyant si vous décidez d'y aller à 2. Nourriture excellente, les drink sont bons également.
