Escondite propose une exploration dynamique de la cuisine de rue mexicaine caractérisée par des profils d épices audacieux et des méthodes de préparation authentiques. Le menu se concentre sur des tacos artisanaux composés de garnitures variées comme des carnitas mijotées, des viandes grillées assaisonnées et des mélanges de légumes frais agrémentés de salsas maison. Au-delà de la sélection de tacos, la cuisine prépare divers classiques latino-américains incluant des quesadillas savoureuses et des entrées à partager conçues pour une consommation conviviale. Chaque plat privilégie des ingrédients de haute qualité pour maintenir l intégrité des saveurs traditionnelles dans toute la gamme culinaire. L intérieur favorise une ambiance énergique grâce à une décoration d inspiration industrielle et des accents muraux colorés qui soulignent l identité de la marque. Les clients découvrent un menu mettant l accent sur des textures complexes et des arômes intenses, assurant une représentation cohérente de la cuisine mexicaine moderne.
Escondite est largement reconnu pour sa cuisine fusion mexicaine authentique et savoureuse, de nombreux clients louant la fraîcheur des ingrédients et la qualité des plats tels que les tacos birria et les cocktails signatures. Bien que l'ambiance soit souvent décrite comme vibrante, énergique et idéale pour les célébrations, certains convives trouvent le volume de la musique trop élevé pour permettre une conversation facile. Les avis sur le service sont partagés, allant d'une attention exceptionnelle à une certaine lenteur ou désorganisation selon les périodes. Si la majorité des clients considèrent cet établissement comme une destination de choix pour sortir, certains commentaires soulignent que la taille des portions peut sembler petite par rapport au prix, et que la valeur de certaines expériences de menus dégustation reste un sujet de débat parmi les habitués.
Very diverse & original menu. I have not tasted anything I didn't enjoy here. Their tacos are fantastic & so flavourful. Great cocktails. The decor is quite the sight. Very colourful & cool Mexican heritage visual references. ¡Gracias, Escondite!
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 :)
Amazing authentic Mexican food! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & made with care. Sam, Olivia & all the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, & attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The warm, cozy atmosphere adds to the experience & makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. Highly recommended if you're looking for genuine Mexican cuisine & outstanding service.
We will definitely be coming back!

I took 23 members of my Meetup group there for Cinco de Mayo. First time for most of us. Owner Sam made booking our large group seamless & was so helpful.
We did the set tapas menu & I was blown away - every dish came out hot, delicious, & full of flavour. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart who made sure we had everything we needed. I wish I'd gotten her name!
& here's the kicker: we could actually hear each other talk. That's rare for Mexican on a busy night.
We'll be back for sure to explore the à la carte menu. Bravo to Sam & the team - thank you for a memorable Cinco de Mayo!
Truly the most authentic Mexican food with a twist on the West Island! The tacos Birria are the best we've ever had, & the mushroom quesadilla is phenomenal! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Escondite to anyone!!!
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.
The food is excellent; great portion sizes for sharing! It's a very cool place, although it is a bit loud. Definitely my go to Mexican place in the West Island
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.
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.
