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.
Great menu, awesome service, very cordial servers, & all were helping each other out. The food was fantastic, especially the beef tacos & the guacamole dip.
I have mixed feelings about this place. On one hand, the food was absolutely delicious, some of the best tacos I've ever had, to be honest. The Korean-style & al pastor tacos were incredible & full of flavor, easily the highlight of my visit. The ambiance is cozy & inviting, with warm lighting that sets a relaxed mood. Plus, the staff are super friendly & make you feel welcome. On the other hand, the portions are a real letdown. As a Latino, I have to say that Mexican food is meant to be generous, & for the price you pay here, the serving size is disappointing. I get that it's their business model, but for the price, I'd much rather pay more for a proper portion. Overall, while the taste & quality are undeniably great, the value for money just isn't there. I'd recommend it as a one time experience or for a special occasion, but if you're looking for a satisfying meal that feels worth the price, there are better options out there.
Nous avons bien aimé la nourriture mais en tant que latino moi même, je trouve que ça manque de goût. Nourriture de qualité & fait avec amour mais j'aimerais que ce soit plus épicé. Très belle ambiance & bon service. Je recommande d'y aller. Ce sera peut être à votre goût.
This is the kind of place that truly stands out for its excellent service & exceptional food. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just want a fantastic meal, I highly recommend this restaurant, I can't wait to return! Shoutout to our waitress Daniella! She was sweet & helpful explaining all the choices!
Très bon restaurant. Nous avons adoré l'expérience Escondite avec les plats à partager! Salade de mangues délicieuse! & Tacos au porc succulants! Les côtes levées BBQ, un vrai régale. Seul point négatif, les pichets d'alcool sont beaucoup trop chers. 56$ pour un pichet je trouve ça exagéré… par contre notre serveuse était très gentille & accueillante, l'ambiance était amusante avec de la bonne musique. Malgré les prix, je recommande.
We went to Escondite with a Group on the 22nd of December - the food was great but what really set the experience apart was Meggie who worked so hard to ensure top quality service & also ensure we felt special by even remembering us from a year ago! Meggie was simply incredible. Thank you!
