Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in downtown Montreal steps away from the Bell Center, that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
Escondite is praised for flavorful Mexican food, especially its tacos, guacamole, and strong margaritas, with many reviews highlighting friendly service and a warm, vibrant atmosphere. The ambiance is described as cozy and lively, great for groups, casual dinners, or pre-show bites, though some nights can be busy and the noise level high or service slower. Value often comes up positively, while a few comments note small portions or higher prices for downtown dining. Overall, Escondite emerges as a dependable, convivial spot with well-crafted dishes, tasty drinks, and a welcoming staff that makes guests want to return.
It's a fair place for fun with friends. Food is quite good although not many choices & it's fusion Mexican. Drinks are crazy expensive, 19$ for a classic 125ml margarita is abusive. Good location near Bell centre.

Avant un game des canadiens on avait faim pis il était deja 6h ! Des line up partout chaque resto plein! On rentre au escondite c'etait plein aussi mais ils ont eu la gentillesse de nous faire une place!! Le serveur ensuite nous a demandé si on allait a la game puis nous a dis si oui ils allaient tout faire pour que nous aillons notre nourriture le plus vite possible!! La nourriture tres bon & le service wow!! C'est sure que la prochaine game je retourne la..... ils apprecient pis comprennent leur clients!
In Montreal for a few days & I ate here twice, that's saying something.
I love the aesthetic--rustic & laidback, it reminds me of the restaurants in Mexico city. Authentic quality of the food-- I first ordered tacos for take away, & I went back the following day to try more items because they were good. It reminds me of Contramar (a popular restaurant in CDMX). If you want authentic Mexican food, then this is a must try. Lastly, the place can get busy, but the servers always approached me with a smile & I appreciate that.
I don't know when I'll visit Montreal again, but I'd love to eat here again.

C'est un restaurant que mon amie & moi retournons y manger pour leur Nacho 2.0. Si vous ne l'avez jamais goûté, ça vaut le détour. Mon amie & moi ne voulons jamais les partager. Le personnel y très accueillant & le service est impeccable. Leur sélections de tacos sont tous délicieux.
J'aime beaucoup votre nourriture mexicaine plus gastronomique que ce qu'on retrouve ailleurs. La qualité est au rendez-vous.
Toutefois j'ai omis de prendre mon reçu. Est-il possible de me le faire parvenir? C'était le 24 mars & j'ai payé à 6:45pm autour de 130$. Merci!

The food was very good, staff were perfect (welcoming, flexible, attentive, nice to chat). I sat at the top floor which has less cachet than the bottom one.
Très bon repas en famille. EXCELLENT service, rapide & toujours avec le sourire. Cocktails vraiment délicieux & que dire de la guacamole & les tacos. 👏
