Review Summary

Escondite consistently earns praise for its vibrant atmosphere, creative decor, and authentic Mexican fusion cuisine that is packed with flavor. Many visitors highlight the delicious variety of tacos, fresh ceviche, and high quality margaritas as standout items that make for a memorable dining experience. 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. While some diners mention that the music can become quite loud and note that portions are designed for sharing, the majority of guests appreciate the overall energy and consistently fresh ingredients that make the restaurant a go to destination for a fun and tasty meal with friends and family.

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 vibe was inviting - casual, eclectic & welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised. We were having a family dinner for 6 & selected the tasting menu, our waitress Katherine put together a selection of order & each dish came out for us to discover. My faves were the chicken wings, the enchiladas with truffle & the corn bread. The place filled up by 7:30 & the lights were dimmed to reflect the evening vibe. The wait staff explained each dish. We had a wonderful family dinner. I would definitely come back with friends as well.

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.

From greeting to finishing up, the service was amicable & wonderful. The people seem just as happy as the party celebrating! The timing of each serving was perfect! The food was delicious. The only thing I & a friend of mine didn't like was the fish taco but EVERYTHING else was great!! The drinks ohhh wow fantastic everyone seemed enjoy them! Will definitely be back!

Très bruyant. Par ailleurs repas & service excellent. C'est dommage.

The food was mediocre, & unfortunately, the service was not the greatest - it felt dry & came with a bit of an attitude. The busser, however, was excellent, & that's the reason I gave three stars. I wish our entire experience had been with her. I also found it odd that the washrooms are located before the seating area. I've had a much better experience at the Wellington location, so I'll be sticking to that one.

We had a very nice evening. Their cocktails are delicious - fresh lime juice makes all the difference. The service from Olivia was exceptional. We will definitely return.

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!
