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.

Solo business traveller coming for a weeknight dinner. Well positioned across from the Hilton hotel. Tacos & cocktails are unique & have great presentation. Staff was fast & friendly. Would recommend for a casual meal alone or with a group.

Definitely a spot to visit with friends to grab some drinks & tacos. The ambiance was nice, the service was great. I thought the appetizers were ok. We ordered alot of variety of tacos to try them all. They were all ok. The best ones would be the shrimp & chicken tacos, felt like there was more flavour to it.

Très similaire à l'authenticité de leur premier restaurant. Très bon service à la clientèle. Nourriture très bonne de façon générale... sans oublier que c'est du mexicain alors prévoir le spicy edge.. Drink très bien,

Let's start from pros Cool ambiance, cool place & decor. The service, nothing crazy, but on point. The food, overpriced & very poor in quantity, not other then an expensive tapas. Missing flavors, the drink kind overpriced too but, was actually good. I took the mezcal mule !

The food was very good, but way too expensive for very small portions. We spent $90 (2 people, 1 drink each), & we left still hungry. That isn't normal. Only once we were sitting at the table were we told that it's a "tapas theme" restaurant. Their website doesn't mention this. If it was, we would not have made reservations there. That feels sneaky on the restaurant's part. The ambiance & service were great. I would give this place a higher rating if it weren't for the unreasonably expensive prices for such small portions. I'd recommend this place for drinks & a snack, but not for an actual meal.

Very busy place. Food is good, almost actual mexican food. I didn't like the guacamole, it looked a little to green , almost florescent. Service was great. They do 2 servings a night but if you get there at 6 PM for first service its plenty of time. I would go back.

Dont expect authentic Mexican food. More of an Asian fusion. More Korean flavours in the tacos. Ask for the sampler selection if you're a group.
