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.
Très bel endroit, excellent service autant de la serveuse que du barman, la nourriture est très savoureuse & les prix raisonnables. Ma seule critique serait que les plats sont plutot comme des tapas que des repas complets, j'aurai bien aimer pouvoir prendre les tostadas ou les tacos (en assiette avec salade & riz par exemple).
The food tasted great. It's just important to ask questions because sometimes you expect a descent portion but end up with an appetizer size or sample tasting size. The service was very good. & the decor is pretty cute.

Carola was our waitress & delivered excellent service! My friend & I were talking a lot & took our time to order, Carola was kindly checking in but not rushing us. Overall a great evening with delicious food & margaritas!
On a découvert Escondite au tout début, il y a plusieurs années, sur la rue Union à Mtl & nous sommes tombés en amour. Maintenant, les drinks sont trop chers ( Brossard ) & trop de glasses. La bouffe est bonne. Chaises ( Brossard ) très inconfortables. C'est bon pour la business, on s'éternise pas trop, lol !
Service was great, ambiance is nice & the music is good. The food was fresh but blend. A little too adapted to the local clientele rather than authentic which is understandable but underwhelming. If you love resort food I guess this is your place & also good place to have a good time with friends but if you're looking for authentic recipes & flavour, you can pass this place. Quesadillas was goofy as hell, basically a grilled cheese I laughed when I saw it.
Food was good, drinks too. We loved the terasse. Lovely service from Kateryna. She was professional & fast. She even brought candles to the terasse to make our atmosphere more romantic. Very kind & we will definitely come back!
Nous avons passé une très bonne soirée. La cuisine était très abordable & de qualité. Katerina nous a servis. Elle a été charmante & de très bon conseils. Je recommande ce restaurant. Terrasse agréable sur rue presque piétonnière.
Deuxième visite & un service excellent & de la nourriture délicieuse. Lors de notre visite nous avons été servis par Katarina & son service était bien. Le stationnement est un peu difficile mais ça vaut le déplacement
