Escondite consistently earns praise for its vibrant atmosphere, creative decor, and authentic Mexican fusion cuisine that is packed with flavor.

The staff frequently receives recognition for being welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable, often going above and beyond to ensure guests feel at home during birthday celebrations or casual nights out.

Spent our 22nd anniversary dining here this past weekend. Our server was super sweet & helpful. Gave us options, answered our questions & made recommendations. The drinks were great! Corn bread was almost a no-go due to a broken machine, but was replaced just in time for us to enjoy! I asked for another, it was on the house! 3 different types of tacos (fish, steak & chicken) all excellent & written in order of preference. Chips & guac were tasty as well. Wee are believers that great food tastes better when the service is exceptional, & she didn't disappoint. We will be back for sure!!

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.

Finally we have a good restaurant with a good taste atmosphere & delicious Mexican cuisine in the West Island, that we can enjoy with friends & family. Besides the food, the staff is friendly & welcoming.
Margaritas is a must with appetizers & to end the dinner, a Key lime delicacy for dessert.
Tacos are the perfect size & the texture of the tortilla almost to perfection.
I don't know how much I spend per person because we were invited by our friends.

The food is amazing, the service is great but unfortunately there is no value, way way too expensive, every order is so tiny, 2 bite size tacos for 15$ to eat properly you need to spend like 200$ which in this economy is not realistic unless you have lots of disposable income. Which they had an option in their menu with side servings of tacos with rice & refried beans to offer value to families would make them way more busy because it is really good!

The atmosphere, service & food are superb. Where it falls short is on portion size to price ratio. If they charged 2-3$ but got 3 tacos per plate instead of two, it would probably make a difference. Kids portion is not sufficient beyond 8 years old. It is the best Mexican restaurant in the area but value needs to be addressed.

The tacos were great, as long as you don't mind the price tag. Not somewhere to go to get full unless you've got a fat wallet.
