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.

Super cool spot with the tastiest tacos imaginable. Very friendly servers & bartenders. They make the best spicy margarita - you can tell that the jalapenos were a stroke of genius infusion, not a siropy afterthought.

All the tacos are delicious - but I loved the twist they put on birria, by serving tender shredded lamb. My overall favourite are the Alambre tacos, simply because they are paired with the the most delectable salsa verde in existence. I have been trying to recreate this sauce for months.

Hats off to Escondite! This location is also very close to the Bell Centre, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite before a show.

¡Muy buen servicio y comida! From the guacamole to the margaritas, everything was delicious. Our favorite: the Baja fish tacos-fresh, tender, & perfectly balanced. ¡Un sueno de taco! Big up to el chef 😉

Bonne expérience chez Escondite ! Nous avons très bien mangé, l'ambiance était agréable & le service efficace & sympathique. Seul bémol : les margaritas, qui n'étaient pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. Dommage, car tout le reste était top !

I would go back just for the tuna tostada. The margarita was very good. Quick friendly service. Cute space.

Escondite did not disappoint! The vibe was cool - we sat on the back patio. The mojito was good, margarita was excellent. The food was amazing - we ordered the nachos, & the following tacos: korean steak, mole, fried chicken, & the new El Paso. All were delicious but the standouts were the mole & the El Paso.

Went for lunch . This Mexican restaurant serves high end Mexican food. I had 2 shrimps tacos. Portions are small but it was the best tacos I have ever had. My friend had pomegranate nachos, she gave it & 11 out of 10 . I would go back in a heartbeat. I had homemade key lime pie for dessert. So good. & a margarita.
