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.
On était un groupe donc nous avons eu le menu'Expérience Escondite'. C'était superrr bon!!! La guacamole hyper fraîche! Les saveurs de la salade de mangues était incroyables !Les tacos (boeuf, morue & poulet) un pur délice. & les Churros sont chauds & super bons!!

Les prix sont très élevés pour la quantité de nourriture servie; les tacos contiennent si peu de viande qu'on reste avec faim. Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas justifié.
De plus, le service était désagréable; l'employé qui m'a servi avait une haleine vraiment dérangeante & une attitude peu professionnelle, ce qui gâche complètement l'expérience. C'est un endroit bien réputé, mais une exécution largement en dessous des attentes.
Bad kids quesadillas, tacos so-so, bad hot sauce that was an extra.
Not good service (not awful) but what makes me do not want to return anymore is the Manager's bad countenance.
Expensive for the below average food served. Deçu!!

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!
Très agréable notre expérience à Escondite -Solar uniquartier. On a bien aimé l'ambiance sur la terrasse, les tacos, mais principalement le service des belles filles: Érika & Jennifer. Merci & à bientôt!

J'ai pris la peine de préciser à la serveuse que je voulais qu'elle me recommande un choix très doux, pas piquant parce que je n'aime pas ça. Elle m'a conseillé les tacos de morue qui a été servi avec une mayonnaise très épicée. Je lui en ai fait la remarque pour me faire dire : ah oui? Mais pour moi ce n'est pas épicé, désolée...
Demandé tacos aux champignons. Juste des champignons de Paris, zéro pleurotes… Je m'attendais à un taco qui déborderait de pleurotes & qui serait goûteux. Champignons de Paris… Fade, pas de punch! Dommage, j'avais hâte d'essayer ce resto. Sinon, tout le reste est bien !
Super comme toujours. Bonne bouffe, excellent service. La salade de mangues & les papi chulos ribs, les tacos alambres wowww. Merci à notre serveuse Kateryna !
Such a nice restaurant! The employees are so kind & hardworking, giving us the best possible experience. The food here is delicious, especially the tacos! Best tacos ever! My compliments to the chef. Great music, very clean & nice restaurant, go try it!
Service was incredible, came in around closing after a long day, & they were incredibly polite about it. Katrina our waiter, & Peter, the chef were both incredible. Their tacos were the best I have ever had. On top of that, the music was great! I heavily recommend stopping by whenever you are in the area, even to make a bit of a detour, as the entire experience was incredible.
Catherina & Peter were amazing. The restaurant remained open late on Sunday evening. The food was amazing - best tacos without a doubt. Very hospitable hosts.
