Les avis réunis sur Escondite présentent une expérience mexicaine moderne, où la fraîcheur et les saveurs audacieuses des plats comme le guacamole, les tacos et les créations tapas sont le point fort, avec une ambiance vivante et conviviale qui donne envie de revenir. Certains commentaires louent particulièrement la qualité des cocktails et l'attention portée aux plats, notamment les tacos au steak et les variations de birria, et le service rapide lorsqu'il est en forme. Cependant, des critiques récurrentes portent sur le service, parfois lent et désorganisé, des commandes oubliées, des temps d'attente qui peuvent gâcher la soirée, et un rapport qualité-prix qui ne satisfait pas tout le monde en raison de portions parfois petites et de tarifs élevés. La musique peut être un peu trop présente et l'espace bruyant lors de certaines visites, mais l'ensemble demeure une option populaire pour des sorties entre amis ou en famille, avec des retours largement positifs sur l'atmosphère, la convivialité et la constance des saveurs.
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.
Honestly, given that we were the only group in the restaurant (it was a storm day so there was really no other customers there), the service was slow & they missed some of our orders - I also find the drinks Extremely expensive

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!!!

The food was as good as always & the waitress was extremely nice & friendly. I'm just disappointed that we were charged for extra nachos to finish the guac. The nacho portion should match the guac portion… it's not the amount, it's the principle. Still giving them 5 stars all around.
Food was good service was bad the waitress working barely came to see us during the diner the place was dead & she was just standing around looking lost we had to had to ask for more drinks.
Had a great experience at Escondite! The vibe was amazing, & the food was fantastic. Our server, Lily, was amazing she was super friendly, attentive, & gave some great recommendations. It really made the meal even better. Definitely one of those places I'll be coming back to!
Yummy food, fabulous ambience, great service!!!!! Thumbs UP!!!!!
Even with this pandemic, you could count on Escondite West Island to provide great food :)
