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.

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!
