Escondite est loué pour ses saveurs audacieuses et ses ingrédients frais, avec un menu à partager qui comprend la salade de mangue, le pain de maïs, le poulet à la General Chapo, des quesadillas, des tacos variés et des churros; les réservations sont recommandées les week-ends ou lors des soirées les plus fréquentées, et l'ambiance est dynamique et accueillante, adaptée aux groupes et aux célébrations; le service est souvent attentif et compétent, bien que certaines visites signalent une cadence plus lente, des commandes mélangées ou un personnel débordé; la nourriture est décrite comme de haute qualité avec de bonnes portions pour partager, mais quelques clients estiment que les prix sont élevés par rapport à la taille des portions, et l'espace peut être bruyant.
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.
3rd Escondite location that I visit & the food & service were excellent. You should consider getting a reservation to come on weekends or busier nights. We were part of a group reservation & had a tasting menu that included Mango salad, corn bread, chicken General Chapo style, quesadillas, chicken & fish Tacos & churros for dessert. All were delicious. Our server, Olivia, was very attentive & helpful, just a pleasure to deal with.

Great service
Restaurant was cold (in temperature)
We had the sharing menu & everything was delicious except taco contents were too deep fried. But everything else was amazing.
Amazing tacos & very friendly service by Anna the bartender as well as the waitstaff Olivia & Sophia. Tried the camarones & Mr. Mole Tacos recommended by Anna the first time I visited, which were both equally great. Definitely recommend & on my list to visit again when in the area!
Absolutely nothing negative to say about this restaurant. Everything was amazing.The El General Chapo & the tacos al pastor… HOLY GUACAMOLE 🤩🤤 next-level flavor. Fresh, bold, & perfectly done.
One of those places you keep thinking about after you leave. 100% coming back.
Beautiful interior, excellent margaritas (aperol marg was particularly fantastic), & the food was so fresh, high quality, & delicious. Relaxed service but everyone was nice & helpful. Highly recommend the steak tacos!!
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.
Water tasts like alge, I couldn't stomach it. Seems like a west island problem the restaurant should be aware of. No chips & salsa, no hot sause with tacos. Key ingredient was missing from my tacos (the cactus).
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!!!
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.
