3.0

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.

Stellar taco & service !

Seriously that mole filling might have been the best thing I've ever eaten, in Montreal, with the beef+nopal a close second.

Amazing drinks as well, & really have to give props to the servers. Trilingual & very friendly !

1.0

I was downtown for a concert on Saturday & was looking for a place to eat. I found this restaurant on Google, called ahead, & asked if they could seat me in 10 minutes. They said yes, so I headed over.

When I arrived, I reminded them that I had called, & they confirmed they had a table for me. I was seated, went to wash my hands, & then returned to the table ready to order since we were on a tight schedule before the concert.

Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down to the moment we left, we were completely ignored. We waited over 20 minutes. No one came to greet us, offer water, take a drink order, or ask if we were ready to order food. We had menus in front of us & were clearly ready, but not a single staff member acknowledged us.

The restaurant wasn't even busy. There were plenty of open tables, so there was no obvious reason for the lack of service.

Given our time constraints, we had no choice but to leave & go elsewhere. The next restaurant seated & served us quickly without issue.

Very disappointing experience.

Super cozy & nice space where to host a 5 a 7 or a dinner. They have non alcoholic drinks, but also vegetarian options for the tacos.

5.0

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.

Always great food & drinks. Highly recommend the spicy mango salad or guac as a starter. The Alambre tacos with the creamy salsa verde are delicious!
