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.

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!+

Une de mes adresses favorites au centre-ville, leurs cocktails sont délicieux & leurs tacos exceptionnels. La qualité du service & l'ambiance de la salle viennent sublimer le tout. Je recommande fortement!

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!

Très bonne petite découverte ! Nous voulions passer un petit moment sympa non loin de notre hôtel & nous avons été conquis. Nous avons pu réserver rapidement via internet. Nous avons été bien accueilli une fois sur place. Carte un peu sous forme de tapas, & tacos a partager. Tout était excellent, un vrai sans faute. Nous recommandons vivement cette adresse

This was our second time eating at an Escondite, but our first time at this location. Had a delicious meal & loved every bit of it! We tried the gyoza nachos & we only wish there was more of it in the serving. For tacos we tried the Korean steak, fried chicken, al pastor, & baja fish. All were great but my fave was the Baja fish & my partners favourite was the Korean steak. Definitely recommend making a reservation as this place filled up quick on a Saturday night.

We came here with a group of 11 for a bachelor party & they were so very hospitable! The food was incredible & came out quickly, the decor all over was just so fun, & all of the staff were patient with us & treated us with such kindness. Recommend this to anyone local or traveling to Montreal!

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!
