Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in Laval steps away from le Carrefour Laval shopping mall. They serve Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
Overall impressions from the reviews point to flavorful Mexican inspired dishes with a strong emphasis on tacos and tapas and plates that look as good as they taste, often described as worth a visit, though some visits note small portions for the price and occasional inconsistencies in service. The ambiance is repeatedly praised as lively, with a cozy or vibrant vibe and appealing decor that makes it a good fit for casual nights or romantic evenings. Service is described as attentive and friendly when staff are on, but at times slower or less engaged, and a few reviews mention miscommunication about the menu or billing that affected the experience. Several diners highlight the shareable plates and tasting formats as worthwhile, while others feel prices can be steep for what is offered. Taken together, Escondite comes across as a strong option for flavorful Mexican inspired food with room for improvement in consistency and value.
Excellent Mexican fusion restaurant! Their tacos are delicious - make sure to try the Baja, Pollos Hermanos & Al Pastor ones. The mango salad & the el general chapo dishes are equally good!
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.
L'expérience escondite, tout était très bon, nous avons mangé plus qu'à notre faim, les employés étaient super. Le resto étant assez petit c'est pas long que ça devient bruyant mais pas désagréable pour autant.

La place est nice , la nourriture est bien, le service est moyen. On a donne 15% de tip (avant taxes) & la serveuse est venu me dire c'est pas assez donne moi 2$ de plus. Jamais je retournerais a cette place. La serveuse qui a travailler le midi du 27 aout 2024 a ruiner le tout.
Not my first time eating at an escondite restaurant but this was my first time in Laval & i was not dissapointed. Great food & nice atmosphere. My server Sara was very nice & made some good suggestions when i was trying to decide on something new to try. Highly recommend.
The atmosphere is nice, the presentation is very good, the service was ok waitress was a little stressed; but I feel like it's a place to go for drinks because the portions are really small in relation to the prices... we paid a bill of $110 for two dishes & two beers but I even thought that we should have eaten before coming 😂😂😂 because you leave with the feeling that you missed out on something.
There is such a thing as "too much fusion" ... Not every dish & drink on the menu needs to be fusion cooking. Also, 10$ for a draft beer or 15 for a mojito is insulting. The food was okayish, but for the price, I was expecting much, much better. The server was adorable, & the back terrasse could use some music to cover the car noises...

Oh my God! Best service & food ever!!! Louisa & Salma was amazing 🤩 Pat at the bar was soooooo good, his Margherita's were delicious 🤤 The food is delicious & the service is amazing!!!!
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.
We ordered the Baja & the Pollos Hermanos & they were both so spicy it was not enjoyable. Menu mentioned nothing about it being spicy. Also the water that was provided was warm. Portions of 2 tacos are small for 12$. Service was fast & friendly at least!
