Review Summary

Feedback on Escondite highlights a lively, cozy atmosphere with colorful decor, flavorful dishes and creative drinks, and attentive service that many describe as friendly and efficient. Tacos, guacamole, and other Mexican staples are frequently praised, with favorites like alambre tacos and birria mentioned, and drinks such as spicy margaritas getting strong praise. While the majority of reviews are positive, some notes point to small portions and higher prices for Montreal, and a few busy nights bring slower service or late dishes. Some guests enjoy the tasting or experience menu, though it can lead to confusion about portions, and the space is seen as a good spot for groups, pre event meals, or casual outings. Overall Escondite is seen as a reliable pick for tasty food, great drinks, and a lively ambiance, with many saying they would return.

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!

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

We recently held an event at Escondite & the restaurant was a pleasure to work with. They made everything easy for us & the event space was beautifully decorated & had a great vibe. The food was delicious & the service was wonderful. Would highly recommend if you're looking at hosting 40-50 people.

Amazing food, absolutely amazing. Service was great, staff is very attentive & courteous even though the place was very busy. They put to shame many other "fine dining" places, period. Highly, highly recommend!+

My husband & I came here on the weekend. The waitresses were very friendly. We enjoyed the mojitos - the pineapple was a nice touch! We really liked the chips & guac, camarones y queso, & coliflor tacos. The upper floor had a nice vibe from the artwork on the walls to the upbeat latin american music. Highly recommend, & will definitely go again!

I went here on a Saturday night at about 9 without a reservation, but they were fortunately able to give me a table for 2, without any wait!

My friend & I first had cocktails which were quite nice! One had jalapeños & was a bit spicy, while the other was quite strong, which I enjoyed.

The tacos were very flavourful & the texture was perfectly crunchy but not too crunchy. I’ve been here once before & I’ve enjoyed it both times now. Would highly recommend!
