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.
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.
We had the opportunity to be served by our waitress Jennifer (definitely ask for her if possible). From a someone who has experience in the culinary world this place has the perfect choice of flavours & the man in the back definitely knows what he's doing! The manager Peter solved any questions I had & elevated the experience with his presence. Honestly there is nothing I would change highly recommended place for family & dates!
Katerina was amazing. Service was impeccable & the bartender knocked it out of the park. The tasting menu with small plates was a ton of food & all was great! Highly recommend & will definitely be 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!

It was my first time at escondite today & if it weren’t for our incredible waitress Malika, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my experience too much. The food was overly spicy yet somehow bland, not to mention expensive for the portions & there was no music but the service, the service was just WOW!!!! Malika was incredibly attentive, super kind & gave us one of the best services I’ve received at a restaurant, highly recommend for the service alone!!
Second time I’ve eaten at Escondite -first at the Old Port & today at the Dix30!
Both times excellent! Highly recommend!
I had the chicken tacos & cauliflower ones (delish) & my friend had the new El Paso which I cannot wait to try next time because she says they were delicious -she loved that it was soft & hard shell at the same time with really great flavour (& they seriously looked delicious!)
