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.

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 !

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!
