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 good: mango salad & cauliflower starters we delicious, good vibe
Unfortunately the rest of the meal was disappointing, lacked flavour & texture… mojito was also very tasteless.. had higher expectations from visiting other locations!
If you're anywhere near Brossard & not stopping at Escondite, you're doing life wrong. The vibe is lively, the food is a flavor explosion, & the Chef's Sampling is hands-down the best way to taste the magic. Trust me - let the chef show off a little. You won't regret it (but your belt might). The beef / sirloin tacos would out of this world.
I had a lovely experience at Escondite. The food was very good, & the drinks were spot-on for a fun night out. The manager, Manuel, was incredibly welcoming & ensured everything went smoothly. The restaurant had a lively ambiance with enjoyable music that added to the overall vibe. With great food & service, it's definitely a place I would recommend. Positive vibes all around!
Hidden Mexican Spot in Montréal❤️ They have a perfect vibe to chill & experience the authentic flavours of Mexican Delights. They do have veg & non-veg options.

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!

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!
Had a very enjoyable night. The food was flavourful & the dishes I had leaned in on the Latin/Asian fusion vibe in ways I really enjoyed. Jennifer, our server, was quick, helpful, & had a great sense of timing for when to check in & when to leave us to our conversation. The place was packed on a Wednesday night, too.
