Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its flavorful and authentic Mexican fusion cuisine, with many guests praising the fresh ingredients and high quality of dishes like the birria tacos and signature margaritas. While the atmosphere is frequently described as vibrant, energetic, and perfect for celebrations, some patrons find the music levels too loud for easy conversation. Opinions on service are polarized, ranging from outstanding and attentive to occasionally slow or disorganized depending on the staffing levels. Although most diners consider it a top-tier destination for a fun night out, some feedback suggests that portion sizes can feel small relative to the price point, and the value of certain set menu experiences has been a subject of debate among frequent visitors.

The food was tasty but nothing to call home about. Portions are good but the tacos had just a bit of garnish ( 4-5 onion little cubes & a couple of pieces of coriander).
We were charged for the salsa!!! No other mexican restaurant has ever charged for!!
The Margaritas ate great!
There was no coffee & even though it was not full the service was slow.
Not a place I'll go back to nor recommend.

First time going there & certainly not the last.

We didn't know anything about this restaurant going in & decided to choose the'escondite experience'. This really allowed us to have a great time without worrying about how to properly order. I strongly recommend this option for a first visit.

Everything we received was very flavorful & always an interesting take on a classic or a perfectly executed classic.

The nacho 2.0 is a must try!

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.

Très bon restaurant. Nous avons essayé le plat varié à 45$ par personne & c'était excellent (pas mal de bouffe aussi). Je recommande fortement.

I've been coming to Escondite West Island since it opened & everything is just as delicious as the first time. 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.❤️❤️❤️
