About

Escondite delivers a vibrant exploration of Mexican street food culture characterized by a bold approach to traditional taco recipes. The menu centers on elevated flavor profiles featuring house-made tortillas paired with diverse proteins and fresh, zesty salsas. Patrons navigate a selection of shared plates, artisanal corn dishes, and signature tequila-based refreshments within an industrial, high-energy environment. Meticulous preparation ensures that every component, from the slow-cooked carnitas to the charred vegetable toppings, maintains an authentic texture and depth of flavor. The aesthetic leans into a modern urban design with creative lighting and eclectic decor that mirrors the punchy, ingredient-forward culinary philosophy. This establishment prioritizes a consistent, fast-paced dining style that highlights the complexity of classic Latin American staples through precise, contemporary execution.

Review Summary

Escondite generally receives praise for its vibrant atmosphere, stylish decor, and exceptional service provided by many staff members who are often highlighted for their friendliness and attentiveness. Many guests enjoy the cocktails and specific menu items like the fish tacos, mango salad, and the tasting experience, which offers a convenient way to sample a variety of dishes. However, frequent concerns are raised regarding the small portion sizes relative to the high price point, with some diners feeling the food lacks authenticity or flavor in certain instances.

We are fans of Escondite, OG location, & West Island. Our visit early on a Friday evening at the Brossard Solar before heading to Quartier des Spectacles was underwhelming. It was our server's first day. She was lovely, but we did not care for the person (manager? head waiter?) training her. We were informed they did not have two of their most popular tacos. No apology, no explanation, no personality. Go to a different location or try another restaurant at Solar. Margaritas = good. Food & ambiance = ok. Interest in receiving repeat customers = 0.

Malheureusement, la nourriture n'était pas du tout à la hauteur de nos attentes. Poulet froid & sec. Service rapide, limite trop, ce qui nous a fait questionné à savoir depuis quand le poulet & crevettes étaient cuites & laisser sur le comptoir. Margarita n'avait pas le goût authentique d'une vrai Margarita du Mexique. On avait l'impression que c'était un mélange déjà prefait.

Les saveurs ne sont pas authentique à la vrai cuisine mexicaine, on voit que c'est commercialisé comme endroit.

L'ambiance était toutefois positive l'endroit est beau & propre.

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!

Je dois avouer avoir consulté les avis avant de réserver. À notre arrivé (certes très tôt), ma première impression n'était pas des meilleures & me faisait sérieusement douter des étoiles attribuées : absence d'ambiance, mobilier peu confortable, présentation du menu… Mais dès que la margarita est arrivée, j'ai commencé à changer d'avis. Un vrai de vrai : pas de mix, pas de fla-fla, juste l'essentiel, & franchement excellente ! Puis est venue la guacamole, les chips, la salade de mangue… wow ! Tacos de chou fleur & baja délicieux.Je rejoins finalement les avis positifs & valide pleinement les 5 étoiles. Nous reviendrons, c'est certain, probablement un peu plus tard en soirée la prochaine fois !

Belle ambiance & délicieux margaritas

Beau décor coloré, musique style reggaetton dont le volume mériterait d'être baissé de plusieurs décibels. Les cocktails (paloma & margarita) sont corrects, rien d extraordinaire. Les gyozas servis en entrée étaient délicieux mais servis tièdes, dommage.. Le guacamole/chips servi comme entrée goutait pas grand chose. Tacos fades, petits, peu de garnitures, pas d accompagnement dans l assiette. Choix limités. Pour des assiettes généreuses qui goûtent réellement le Mexique je vous conseille d aller ailleurs. Excellent service, par contre je n y retournerai pas car les saveurs n étaient pas au rendez-vous.

I wanted to say that the service at El Escondite is amazing. Thank you so much Jennifer for everything. Without a doubt, it is the best restaurant in the Dix30. & the margaritas are the best too. Super!
