Friendly efficient service, had the birria tacos, the Korean tacos & the other beef tacos. All were delicious, especially the Korean ones. Cute decor, nice terrasse.
Escondite did not disappoint! The vibe was cool - we sat on the back patio. The mojito was good, margarita was excellent. The food was amazing - we ordered the nachos, & the following tacos: korean steak, mole, fried chicken, & the new El Paso. All were delicious but the standouts were the mole & the El Paso.

La cuisine est délicieuse, particulièrement les ailes de poulet & les tacos au poulet. L'ambiance est chaleureuse & la décoration est sympa. Les cocktails sont très bons & le service excellent, Horacio est probablement le meilleur serveur que j'ai vu dans un restaurant !
It was my first experience of a Mexican restaurant, & I'm happy to find this place! We ordered two tacos (one with the steak & the other with the fried chicken) & it was so delicious that we re-ordered the same thing! Although I believe that the guacamole was a little bit pricy. Staff were really professional. Edit: I came again & still everything was perfect, specially the waiters (I guess one was Antares?) were professional & super friendly!
Our recent visit was a delightful experience! We opted for the chef's special for our group, which offered a fantastic variety of tacos & appetizers. The fish tacos, topped with fresh red cabbage, were the absolute highlight. The combination of tender, flavorful fish & the crisp, tangy cabbage created a perfect balance. The restaurant's colorful ambiance & interesting layout added to the overall experience, making it a great spot for a casual night out with friends or a business meeting lunch. It is a perfect middle-of-the-road restaurant that offers delicious Mexican food & a lively atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone in downtown Montreal looking to enjoy great tacos in a vibrant setting!
Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere. Korean steak tacos are an absolute must! Very saucy & delicious. If you're hungry, two tacos may not fill you up, but for the affordable price, you could get 4 or an appetizer.

Best nachos I have ever tasted! They're not your typical nachos. It was so good we ordered another plate. It is a must when you visit. We also got the chicken & steak tacos, both had nice flavors but the star was the nachos.
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!
