Overall, Escondite is described as a bold, fresh Mexican spot with vibrant flavors, standout guacamole and chips, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere that many guests remember after leaving; the menu is praised for variety and quality, with favorites like birria Koreano and a range of tacos, and the Escondite experience is commonly recommended for first visits to sample several tapas alongside strong cocktails. Service is a mixed bag, with some visits featuring attentive staff and quick, smooth service while others report slow pacing and orders being mixed up or missed, which dampen the meal; noise levels can be high and some guests feel portions are small for the price, yet the food is repeatedly described as delicious and inventive, and the overall vibe and consistency encourage return visits.
Considering this was me on a random drive on my last night in town, what an awesome find! Very friendly atmosphere, amazing art, & delicious food. Both of the servers in there tonight were so kind & welcoming. I had one pick out a taco dish for me, & it ended up being my favourite!
La nourriture & l'ambiance est bonne, mais le service est si lent ! Mon ami & moi étions assis au bar & malgré le fait que le resto n'était pas si occupé, le service au bar était très très lent. Nos verres terminés sont restés devant nous pendant 1h, il fallait demander chaque fois pour avoir un autre verre, & en plus il y a eu une erreur dans la commande de nourriture de mon ami. Dommage.
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.❤️❤️❤️
Amazing decorations. There's a buzz at this spot! Everyone enjoying themselves plus the food. a really beautiful spot! Employees are friendly & some speak 3 languages!! Amazing! 😍 good service.
Wanted to give a huge shoutout to Saman & his team at Escondite DDO for the excellent hospitality we received! We hosted a bridal shower at Escondite DDO, & it was the best decision ever! The atmosphere is excellent, the staff & service was outstanding & the food was top notch! We had so much food & a great variety of all the escondite favorites! We really couldn't have asked for a better venue & experience. They were super accommodating & so much fun to work with when planning our event! Thank you so so much for making our experience so much fun & so seamless. You won't be disappointed planning an event here! Looking forward to the next time!!
Great restaurant , We where a large group that ended up being more than expected due to a reservation error. Manager & staff handled everything super well , food was great! & was a great time Thank you
Staff is amazing, the food is good but it is very pricy for the amount of food they serve. Very recommended for special occasions or drinks with friends
