Review Summary

Escondite receives high praise for its flavorful Mexican dishes, vibrant atmosphere, and creative decor, with many diners highlighting the tacos and margaritas as standout items. While several guests report exceptional, attentive service that makes for a memorable experience, others express frustration regarding inconsistent service quality, issues with billing clarity, or small portion sizes relative to the price. Although the majority of visitors recommend the restaurant as a fun destination for a night out or a special occasion, some note concerns about cleanliness, music volume, and the lack of flexibility in menu customization.

My new favourite spot! Love the Food, the Drinks were amazing, & the service provided by Meggie was impeccable. Definitely will be going back! Haven't had a full on perfect experience like that in a very long time!

- La bouffe était bonne, bon rapport qualité/ prix
- service assez rapide
- musique un peu trop forte, donc difficile de s'entendre par moment. Pour une première date, peut-être pas l'idéal.

Nous étions un groupe assez nombreux un vendredi soir, & malgré l'achalandage, Nada a assuré un service fluide & bien organisé. Elle est restée attentive à nos besoins tout au long de la soirée. Son service à vraiment contribué à rendre notre expérience agréable. Merci Nada pour ton efficacité & ton sourire contagieux!

Nourriture bonne malgré le service très ordinaire, ils sont venus nous voir 3 fois au début pour nous répéter qu'il y avait eu un manque de communication en cuisine & que c'est pour cette raison que je c'était long. Nous avons attendu 30 minutes avant d'avoir notre première assiette à partir de quand nous avons commandé. De plus, nous avons prit le menu dégustation & avions une seule demande, pas le tacos poulet frit & c'est celui qui est arrivé dans notre assiette parmi tout les choix de tacos. Nous avons attendu 45 minutes pour la facture pour qu'une autre serveuse vienne nous la porter elle même en nous disant que nous avions été oublié.
Nous étions allé à celui a repentigny avant & allons définitivement retourner à ce dernier car pour le même prix nous avons eu des portions plus généreuses dont un dessert 3x plus gros & un plat de tacos de plus qu'à celui à laval ainsi qu'un meilleur service.

I will start off by saying that the food is delicious. Tasty & full of flavour. My issue is the customer service & for this reason I don't think I will be returning to this location. It's my 3rd time at this location & the last two times have left me feeling very uneasy. Our waitress (brunette, about 5'5) always seems to be in rush. Back in December, before we even got our dessert, a friend wanted to order coffee, she proceeded to tell us -an hour before closing that the coffee machine had already been cleaned & it wasn't possible to have coffee. We were taken aback. How can you possibly tell your clients, who haven't even had dessert that the machine was closed? She then proceeded to "open it" because we ended up telling her that we wanted a coffee & her argument didn't make any sense. Tonight a similar situation happened. She didn't ask us for coffee yet rushed us, we were eating dessert & she came to the table to ask us if we were done with it… my friend was chewing. We took the tasting menu, while I specifically said mild, many dishes were spicy. She didn't ask us if we wanted any choices in particular. She just brought what she felt like brining. We felt completely rushed. Our reservation was at 8:30, it took 20 min to get drinks. By the previous comments it seems like this is an ongoing issue with this location that clients are rushed out because they want to close early or close at exactly closing time. At 11:00 pm on the dot, all the lights were opened brightly as if we were in a cafeteria. There were still about 20 people in the restaurant. If you are an owner reading this, staff like this will hinder your business. Although the food is great, when customer service is lacking on more than one occasion, clients will choose to go elsewhere.
