I recently visited Escondite Restaurant in Laval & had a fantastic experience. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, making it perfect for a relaxed meal. The food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. On our visit, which was a Tuesday, we enjoyed the buy-one-get-one-free margarita special, & they were fantastic-just like the photos suggest! Overall, Escondite offers great food, a pleasant atmosphere, & excellent value for money. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful meal in Laval.
Très bon restaurant mexicain de style tapas. Parfait pour les plats à partager à deux ou en groupe. Pour deux personnes, nous avons commandé: le ceviche de crevettes & les gioza en entrée, puis les tacos au chou-fleur, les New el paso, aux crevettes tempura & au poulet frit ainsi qu'un margarita à la coriandre. Tout était délicieux. C'était un peu dispendieux avec une facture de 110$ + pourboire. Le ceviche de crevettes ressemble davantage à des crevettes cocktail revisitées, mais très bon tout de même. Les tacos aux crevettes (moyennement) & poulet (légèrement) étaient épicés. Le cocktail aussi. D'ailleurs, la sélection de cocktail était moyenne avec uniquement des margaritas dont environ la moitié contenaient du piment. Le service était excellent & très rapide. Le restaurant est très mignon aussi, belle ambiance.
Great place for lunch. Not too busy or expensive & fun. Good classic margarita. The nachos are excellent. We had to order a second round. Mango salad, really good. We all had shrimp tacos. The order comes as two. I can see someone needing four tacos. Excellent service from Salma. I would want her to serve me again! Worth the visit.
Decent mexican cuisine in a very cozy restaurant. The waiters are very helpful & friendly. The vibe is fun & the margaritas are on point. I recommend this place for a friends' outing.
We had a craving for Mexican food & Escondite didn't disappoint! This was a busy spot at 6:30 on a Friday night. We highly recommend making a reservation, we didn't, as a result we were seated at the bar, which since it was just two of us worked out great anyway. The bar staff were attentive & helpful describing the menu. For a starter I ordered the Margarita Media Noche, which came in a glass rimmed with cinnamon & salt perfectly complementing the citrusy cocktail. For an appetizer we chose the Atun Tostados & then for the main course we shared a platter containing a selection of Tinga Tostados, Al Pastor Tacos, Baja 2.0 Tacos & E' Steak Koreano & Nopal Tacos. Everyone of them were excellent!
