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.
This was a great experience. I've been to a location or two of theirs in Montreal but this one definitely tops them all. The service. The ambiance. The food. If you want to have a good time & you live in the south shore or Longueuil, this is your destination.
The service is worse than McDonald's. Very desappointed about my visit. I would definitely not recommend it. We waited 30min after we finished eating & we had to go to the front desk to get it. The food was average. Some tapas were goog & tasty other tasteless. Also the brought us the wrong taco on the second round & didn't even bother to ask us if it was fine. Terrible experience
Très belle ambiance! L'expérience Escondite est délicieuse! Jennifer nous a offert un excellent service ! J'ai noté 5 parce que je peux pas noter 10! Merci beaucoup
We had the best experience last night at this place! Food was really yummy our drinks were delicious & the best of all is the service, Jennifer really went above & beyond, making sure we had everything we needed/wanted, really sweet. If you go there make sure to treat yourself to the churros fresh & authentic taste!
Great place to get some drinks. Stay away from the food, though. Very expensive, not so good & the variety is close to zero. Go somewhere else if you're looking for good Mexican food.
La nourriture est d'un régale dans la bouche! Tout est super bon ! J'ai pris l'expérience escondite comme repas & j'ai adorer! C'est un mélange de tout! Il y a plusieurs entrées froide & chaude, avec des tacos comme plat principal & des churros comme dessert. Le tacos à la morrue est mon préfèrer. J'ai été très surpris. L'ambiance est amusante, mais le son est un peu fort. Donc si vous y allez assurer vous d'avoir de bonne oreille & une bonne voix pour se parler haha. Le service des employés est excellent! Très gentil & polie.

The food is very well done & the atmosphere is quite nice but the best part of the night was our server Jennifer. She was very friendly & handled everything perfectly. We will be back to visit again.
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! :)
Guacamole décevante - j'ai du la terminé moi même en ajoutant citron & sel. Taco au poulet était un morceau de poulet style congelé que vous achetez chez IGA. Chaise inconfortable en bois. Bref 100% style & très peu de substance.
