Habituellement je vais à celui de Repentigny & j'ai toujours adoré mon expérience donc je me suis dit que j'allais essayer celui de Montréal (avant un spectacle au centre Bell).
J'ai malheureusement été déçue. J'ai pris exactement les mêmes plats qu'au resto de Repentigny, mais la nourriture était fade, froide, pas de sauce sur les tacos & ils goûtaient le brûlé. Pour le prix assez exorbitant, je suis restée sur ma faim.
Une partie du personnel ne parlait qu'anglais (ce qui ne me perturbe pas car je suis bilingue, sauf que ça pourrait déranger d'autres clients de ne pas se faire servir en français au Québec).
Je ne retournerai pas à cette succursale & je ne la recommande pas.
The food, drinks & everything about the whole experience was so amazing that I have contemplated packing up my whole life to move to Montreal. 10/10 will recommend to everyone I know travelling here!
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.
