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 :)

Première fois & nous ne sommes pas déçus. Avons choisi le menu dégustation. Tout un contrat pour la quantité. Tout était délicieux. Les tacos de poisson, wow.
On y retourne c'est sûr.

Food was really good we ended up there for a kids birthday party & the kids eat free on Sunday which was a welcomed treat & they all loved the food as much as the adults. Service was excellent & the food is a Mexican fusion which was full of flavor. We had the ceviche & the tuna delicious. We finished with three varieties of tacos the birria (lamb) was unique & delicious the steak tacos were great. We will definitely be back without the kids this time as their cocktails looked amazing.

3rd Escondite location that I visit & the food & service were excellent. You should consider getting a reservation to come on weekends or busier nights. We were part of a group reservation & had a tasting menu that included Mango salad, corn bread, chicken General Chapo style, quesadillas, chicken & fish Tacos & churros for dessert. All were delicious. Our server, Olivia, was very attentive & helpful, just a pleasure to deal with.

Great service
Restaurant was cold (in temperature)
We had the sharing menu & everything was delicious except taco contents were too deep fried. But everything else was amazing.
