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.

Last night i was extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered nachos & it was served with no tortilla chips but 5 dumplings with Mexican toppings. When i asked the waitress what was the reasoning for this she advised this restaurant is Asian fusion with Mexican. No where on the menu did it mention this or anywhere in the restaurant. Husband ordered 3 dips then when they were delivered to the table was advised if you want tortilla chips to go with the dip this will also cost extra. Not impressed & will needless to say will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Last note we had a 6 pm reservation & i called ahead to say we were running late at 5.30pm & if i could change our reservation to 6.15pm. Was advised sorry we only take reservations for every half hour therefore we could only have 6.30pm. No problem however when we arrived there were only 2 tables occupied, restaurant nearly empty. Again not impressed with the customer service. This was unnecessary. Totally understand if they were busy however no I know why the restaurant had barely any customers inside.

Good meal with my two young kids. The staff were friendly & the food excellent. Many different flavours & textures, which I love. This includes some creative interpretation of nachos & tacos which made it fun. Adult portions are on the smaller side, so if you're hungry, probably order two sets of two tacos (you can't mix & match). My only (very minor) complaint is that the dishes came very quickly, before we could even put a dent in the appetizers. Probably worth asking them to hold the mains until you're done if that's how you like to eat. Definitely recommend!

Escondite has become one of my all time favourite restaurants. I've tried almost every location & I have to say the West Island is the best! The service is always 10/10 like a few days ago I came to eat dinner with my friends & were served by Olivia, she was quick, attentive & frequently checked on us to make sure we had whatever we needed. Also not to mention a total sweetheart! It makes me sad that they're not as busy as they should be because the food & drinks are incredible! Come eat here & get a Margarita Medianoche, share a guac then grab the Esteak Koreano tacos, I promise you won't regret it!!

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.

250$ for what's seen in attached picture, pactically theft. 8$ for a cornbread muffin & 10$ per taco? We picked this up down the street shortly after they opened on Sunday night & the tacos were dry. Unfathomable. Won't be ordering here again.
