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.

We went to Escondite Drummond with coworkers & had a really fun night. Great Latin music & a lively vibe, plus the staff was super friendly & welcoming. The food is Mexican-inspired & overall decent, but not the most authentic Mexican in Montreal. Prices felt a bit on the higher side, but it's a solid spot for drinks, atmosphere, & a group outing.

We loved the simplicity of the food - authentic Mexican options. We arrived 45 min early for a reservation & they sat us immediately. We'll be back!

Came to this restaurant with my father on a Friday night. My father's order was delayed. Which it happens in a restaurant. They not only not charge us the specific meal that was late but also gave us a dessert on the house. They were very apologetic about the incident. Great service. Something that I haven't seen much in Montreal & some of the horror stories I've experienced in other places for the same incident. To top it off, the food was great too. Lastly, the ambiance was great & very authentic Mexican. Highly recommend
