Review Summary

Escondite delivers a bright, vibrant vibe with fresh, bold flavors across a wide range of Mexican tapas and standout cocktails. Margaritas and other drinks are frequently highlighted, and the guac, trio of salsas, and chips are often noted as must orders. The menu features inventive tacos, including fish, steak, chicken, and birria Koreano, along with ribs and other shareable plates. Portions tend to be tapas-sized, which works for tasting multiple items but can leave some guests wanting more, and a few reviews mention that value can feel off for the size. Service is typically friendly and attentive, with many praising helpful recommendations, though a few visits report slower pacing or crowded noise levels. The West Island location is repeatedly praised for its atmosphere and consistency, while some diners point out occasional issues such as mis-timed servings or ingredient omissions. Overall, the restaurant emerges as a popular, lively spot to enjoy creative Mexican fare with great drinks and a welcoming vibe, best experienced with friends and a spread of tapas rather than a single large plate.

Escondite is so consistently fresh, delicious, & full of bold flavours! My friend & I are both from California & crave Cali-Mex & Escondite always hits! We always get the guac, trio of salsas, & their perfect chips. Some faves are their ribs (sweet, spicy, sticky, & fall off the bone), shrimp tacos, Baja tacos, & cilantro smash cocktails.

Great Mexican Food & Atmosphere! If you love spicy like I do, go for the General Tao chicken! 😉

Great restaurant! I wanted to particularly commend the exception service provided by Juan. Being first-timers at the restaurant & having numerous allergies, my partner & I had several questions about the menu. Juan took the time to address our questions patiently. His attentiveness, patience & wonderful personality enhanced our dining experience. Thanks to him, I'll certainly be returning! Additionally, his spicy margaritas are fantastic!

I often went to Escondite in downtown Montreal, & was super stocked they opened one in the west-island. It took me a few years before I got to try it out. I loved that the restaurant atmosphere is very similar to those in Montréal, but with some unique touches. It's the same food & the food.was pretty good. We had the a Mango salad which was good, but the mango wasn't as juicy & the salad wasn't as spicy as I had remembered, so I was a little bit disappointed, but it was still very good. We had some General Chappo chicken, very spicy & tasty. Also took the tuna tordata I think it was called, that was my favorite, very fresh & tasty. Then we had some El Pastor, Coliflower & Fish tacos. Again, from memory I felt they were better / fresher at the Montreal locations. Everything was still good, but I didn't taste the pineapple in the El Pastor & the Porc was a bit dried. Coliflower was good & also the fish Taco, but the frying of the fish made it heavy. Still all enjoyable, but we were quite full afterwards! We still took one of each desserts (churro & lime dessert). Churros were fresh & warm, the lime dessert was served in a bowl. Both were good. Nothing special to say about the service, it was good but I can't say it was amazing lol It was what I'd expect.

Overall, still a good place to go, we will be back for sure.
