Escondite earns high marks for a vibrant vibe, fast and friendly service, and a flavorful mix of Mexican dishes with an option to sample a bit of everything, and while many reviews praise the drinks and the overall experience, some guests note that portions are quite small for the price and a few policies or menu items feel rigid or inconsistent, which can affect how often they return.
Honestly the food & drinks tasted pretty good but the portions are questionable… Though , as Latina I feel like the Mexican culture isn't authentically represented. Let me explain:
Some of the menu choices are Asian?. 😅
There is general Tao, Korean styled tacos & the nachos are dumpling shaped?! I don't want to be rude but if I wanted Asian food I would go to an Asian restaurant. In my opinion, i could maybe get passed the portion if the food truly tasted Mexican but we left disappointed but good ambience overall.
La nourriture était bonne, j'ai vraiment aimé le ceviche! Le seul point négatif était le service. Quasi inexistent. Puisque c'est une formule tapas, il faut commander plusieurs plats pour être rassasié donc la facture monte vite. Ça m'a fait mal de donner 15% de pourboire sur une telle facture pour un tel'service'.
Es la segunda vez que vengo en domingo y me voy decepcionado con el servicio. No es culpa de la persona que atiende, quien hace lo que puede, sino de la administración por dejar a un solo empleado a cargo de todo el restaurante. La espera es excesiva y la atención se vuelve pésima por la falta de manos. No lo recomiendo para un domingo hasta que decidan contratar a más gente.'

Aside from the food-which was just okay-the experience was very disappointing. We ordered the three-course menu, but somehow got forgotten twice during the evening. We ended up spending nearly three hours stuck in a corner of the bar.
The service felt completely disorganized. The first waiter brought us the wrong order, & the second assumed we had finished our meal when we were still waiting for our main course. To make matters worse, we waited a full hour just to receive two cold churros for dessert.
Overall, a frustrating & poorly managed experience.
Nous sommes allés mercredi 15 avril 2026.Un bel endroit à tapas, une belle accueil & excellent service. L'ambiance était tranquille, il n'y avait pas beaucoup de personnes. La cuisine était bien, manquais un peu de goût comparé à d'autres restaurant mexicain. Dans l'ensemble se fût un bon souper & une belle soirée.
