Recently went to Escondite in West Island to celebrate my wife's birthday. It was not our first time, & once again it did not disappoint. The food was amazing... always super authentic, especially their new Barrio taco ... so much flavor! The best part of the evening was the service we received from our host, Olivia! She was fantastic!! So pleasant to speak with, extremely customer focused & had a great conversation with her ... she really made the whole evening a great experience ... thank you Olivia!! Highly recommend it to all folks who want to have an authentic Mexican meal, along with outstanding service!! 5stars all the way :)

I went for my daughter's 17th birthday. I have been here before & loved it. I highly recommend a reservation in advance. The food is delicious in "tapas" sized portions. We got to eat a little of everything which was nice. Drinks were good, atmosphere is fun & overall great experience. We were served by Olivia. She was attentive, caring & sweet. I don't know if someone called in sick, or they were not expecting as many people during the holidays because Olivia seemed to be one person covering the entire restaurant (usually more servers) She did so well, nobody really noticed & her service did not suffer for it. Great job.

Saman, Jess, & the rest of the friendly staff go above & beyond to make sure we're happy. Very consistent. Fantastic vibe, excellent service, delicious food, amazing drinks, easy parking & always a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this West Island gem.❤️❤️❤️

Escondite has incredible food & service. Our waitress was wonderful & kind. I would highly recommend going & ordering the "sample". I hope you come on an empty stomach however, as I found myself under the condition of "full from eating too much food". Fantastic!!!
