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.

La nourriture était délicieuse! Nous sommes des clients réguliers, mais cette fois-ci, j'ai même demandé s'il y avait eu un changement de chef tellement la différence était remarquable. Effectivement, il y a un nouveau chef, & ça paraît! Les saveurs, la présentation & la qualité étaient vraiment au rendez-vous. Bravo pour ces changements, c'est une belle amélioration!

We went to Escondite for the first time yesterday with my family. The restaurant was very lively with good atmosphere.
Big thumbs up for the beef tacos, & the grapefruit cocktail. Our waitress was ever so kind & took the time to guide us through the menu

L'expérience escondite nous a déçue, tant par les choix de plats que le prix. Mieux vaut commander à la carte. Les plats ne nous étaient pas présentés lorsque servis, les plats n'étaient pas servis aux bonnes personnes, la serveuse ne parlait pas français & il a fallu plus de 20 minutes avant de recevoir la facture. Les cocktails & les tacos étaient très bons. Nous ne répéterons pas l'expérience.

18$ pour 5 crevettes, 4 morceaux d'avocat symboliques & 2 mini tranches de jalapeno (qui n'étaient même pas sensé être dans le plat selon le menu), tout ça dans de la soupe tomate. J'en ai bien ris avec les amis. Les tacos sont généreux en viande mais pauvres en légumes. Bref, un petit peu déçu par la bouffe mais la lager est bien passée.

Mon nouveau spot préféré pour passer un bon après-midi entre amis, ou juste me poser tout seul avec une margarita de qualité.
Les tacos de birria & les ribs remportent la palme, sans hésitation.
Service chaleureux, rapide pis efficace, le genre de service qui te donne le goût de revenir.

Les restant de ribs, ça vous donne une idée à quel point elles étaient bonnes.
