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.
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 :)
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!!
Mon experience a ete super bien les serveuse son tres professionel se que jai pas aimer ses le proprietaire qui crit sur les serveuse & les met a pleurer devant les client aucun respect envers ses emploiye laché pas le staff vous faite une belle job bravo (Olivia)
The food is amazing as always, first time at this location though. Love the atmosphere & overall vibe as well. Staff though are either too inexperienced or just overwhelmed as it was really bad. Perhaps it was the night I don't know, they tried but just couldn't get it. Sorry
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.
