Très bien comme endroit, nous avons adoré les tacos au poulet, la guacamole & nos autres plats. L'ambiance était bien & le service impécable. Notre serveuse était très gentil & tout c'est fait rapidement.
J'y retournerai sans doute
Avons adoré ! Tellement que nous y sommes retournés le lendemain.un grand choix de plats & tacos tous meilleurs les uns que les autres.
Mieux vaut réserver car cet endroit est très prisé des Montréalais.
Le personnel est d'une gentillesse incroyable,
attentionné, serviable. Si on revient à Montréal, sûr qu'on y retourne.
Merci à toute l'équipe
A bit pricy & small portion but delicious tacos. One of our order came out late because the server forgot to put it. A bit loud music & seemed to busy to ask staff for services on fridays.

Ambiance agréable avant une partie du Canadien. Nourriture plutôt ordinaire & chère. Les tacos au steak sont sans saveur & secs. Décevant à 14$ pour 2 minis tacos. Les gyosa au nachos étaient bons. Par contre, trop chers pour la quantité. Je ne retournerai pas.
Super cool spot with the tastiest tacos imaginable. Very friendly servers & bartenders. They make the best spicy margarita - you can tell that the jalapenos were a stroke of genius infusion, not a siropy afterthought.
All the tacos are delicious - but I loved the twist they put on birria, by serving tender shredded lamb. My overall favourite are the Alambre tacos, simply because they are paired with the the most delectable salsa verde in existence. I have been trying to recreate this sauce for months.
Hats off to Escondite! This location is also very close to the Bell Centre, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite before a show.
¡Muy buen servicio y comida! From the guacamole to the margaritas, everything was delicious. Our favorite: the Baja fish tacos-fresh, tender, & perfectly balanced. ¡Un sueno de taco! Big up to el chef 😉

La carte n'est pas claire
C'est écrit 2 tacos & ça laisse entendre que les deux peuvent être différents
En fait, il s'agit de 2 identiques... & vous avez donc 4 tacos & une addition moins légère... Comme l'estomac
