Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in downtown Montreal steps away from the Bell Center, that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
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.
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.

Découvert par le biais d'une recommandation, j'ai passé un très bon moment que ça soit en terme gustatif ou en même d'ambiance, avec des échanges forts intéressants. De court passage en solo à Montréal, j'ai même eu la chance d'avoir des recommandations d'activités à faire par Amélie, encore merci. C'est donc naturellement 5/5 pour moi !
