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 beau restaurant avec une ambiance agréable. La terrasse est très grande ! Le choix de tacos est vraiment intéressant & c'est un restaurant parfait pour partager avec des amis afin de goûter plusieurs choses. C'était délicieux ! Surtout le tacos à la morue !
It was my first time at escondite today & if it weren’t for our incredible waitress Malika, I wouldn’t have enjoyed my experience too much. The food was overly spicy yet somehow bland, not to mention expensive for the portions & there was no music but the service, the service was just WOW!!!! Malika was incredibly attentive, super kind & gave us one of the best services I’ve received at a restaurant, highly recommend for the service alone!!
Meilleur restaurant Mexicain! Service impeccable! Une mention spéciale à la belle Malika, super service, à l’écoute & présente. Je le recommande, vous ne serez pas déçus.
Great service, the food (& the not so spicy sauce) were great. Were there for business. Visited August 30th 2023 for lunch. The server will recognize herself.
Second time I’ve eaten at Escondite -first at the Old Port & today at the Dix30!
Both times excellent! Highly recommend!
I had the chicken tacos & cauliflower ones (delish) & my friend had the new El Paso which I cannot wait to try next time because she says they were delicious -she loved that it was soft & hard shell at the same time with really great flavour (& they seriously looked delicious!)

Cuisine, service & emplacement géniaux ! Le seul bémol (considérable) c’est le bruit de ventilation sur la terrasse. Honnêtement quel dommage, la terrasse est magnifique mais vraiment désagréable avec le puit de ventilation au sol.
