Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its lively atmosphere, authentic decor, and consistently delicious Mexican-inspired dishes, with many diners highlighting the tacos, guacamole, and mango salad as standouts. While some guests find the portions small or the pricing on the higher side, the creative cocktail menu, particularly the margaritas and mezcalitas, receives frequent praise. The service is often described as warm, efficient, and professional, making it a popular destination for groups, pre-show dining near the Bell Centre, and casual outings, though experiences can occasionally vary regarding seating wait times or communication in French.

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.
