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.
The food was ok, the only reason I gave this 4 stars was because of this drink I had & can't get out of my head! I believe it was called smash or crash but it had jalapenos in it...A MUST TRY!!

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.
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.
