Overall, Escondite is described as a bold, fresh Mexican spot with vibrant flavors, standout guacamole and chips, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that many guests remember after leaving; the menu is praised for variety and quality, with favorites like birria Koreano and a range of tacos, and the Escondite experience is commonly recommended for first visits to sample several tapas alongside strong cocktails. Service is a mixed bag, with some visits featuring attentive staff and quick, smooth service while others report slow pacing and orders being mixed up or missed, which dampen the meal; noise levels can be high and some guests feel portions are small for the price, yet the food is repeatedly described as delicious and inventive, and the overall vibe and consistency encourage return visits.
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at escondite. The food was excellent, very flavourful! The atmosphere & the decor were great, & the service was fantastic. We did not feel rushed at all, which helped make this a very nice experience. There are delicious options for vegetarians.
Amazing decorations. There's a buzz at this spot! Everyone enjoying themselves plus the food. a really beautiful spot! Employees are friendly & some speak 3 languages!! Amazing! 😍 good service.

Cuisine: I loved the authentic Mexican signature Drinks perfect mixing Guacamole was excellent The decoration was very carefully made authentic. It is a very cosy & warm place The service was exceptional & personal I felt welcomed & at home
Première fois & certainement pas la dernière! Toute une expérience culinaire que nous avons eu moi & ma femme! Entrées delicieuses; Nacho 2.0 & général chapon. Repas de tacos qui vient en même temps que l'entrée; camarone & cochinita pibil & les desserts tout simple; churros & keylime pie. La serveuse était très gentille & professionnelle. Nous a laissée le temps de nous adapter au menu & nous a guidée pour bien choisir. Ambiance fabuleuse! Musique & décors sur les murs. Même les toilettes sont spéciales! Lumière orange tamisée & les lavabos sont à l'extérieur des toilettes, comme su Mexique! On a été ravis! 10 sur 10!!😊❤️

Food is tasty but the portion are really really smalll & expensive. Left there hungry. Service is fine. But felt pushed to order more. West Island location needs a redo, the decor is & atmosphere is just okay, not very inviting.
Great Mexican food, it's full of flavor & the service is really fast. The atmosphere is great, there's a band that plays at night & the employees are really nice & pleasant. Food is worth the price, portions are good. The place is filled with art & decorations that gives a good vibe & the music played is mostly Spanish so it makes the vibe even better. Lots & lots of free parking & it's wheelchair accessible. The food is really good & the ingredients they use are fresh. Each meal is full of colors & it tastes wonderful. Overall great experience & I will come back.
