Escondite is praised for flavorful Mexican food, especially its tacos, guacamole, and strong margaritas, with many reviews highlighting friendly service and a warm, vibrant atmosphere. The ambiance is described as cozy and lively, great for groups, casual dinners, or pre-show bites, though some nights can be busy and the noise level high or service slower.

We went to Escondite Drummond with coworkers & had a really fun night. Great Latin music & a lively vibe, plus the staff was super friendly & welcoming. The food is Mexican-inspired & overall decent, but not the most authentic Mexican in Montreal. Prices felt a bit on the higher side, but it's a solid spot for drinks, atmosphere, & a group outing.

We recently held an event at Escondite & the restaurant was a pleasure to work with. They made everything easy for us & the event space was beautifully decorated & had a great vibe. The food was delicious & the service was wonderful. Would highly recommend if you're looking at hosting 40-50 people.

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.

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!

Do the dinner "experience" & get drinks. Food was to die for & service was equally incredible-& I'm picky! Steak taco, cornbread, mango salad, chicken wings, nacho gyoza all top tier. Very cute vibe too.

The food is very good, the vibe is nice. That being said - charging $3 for the salsa... really? First time in my life I pay for salsa in a mexican restaurant. It's like charging for ketchup for your fries. Doesn't make any sense. You should definitely change that.

The food is very good as well as the vibe. Suitable for dates or catch up with friends. I like the waitress, we forgot to order the dessert in the end but she offered it for free as we paid before her shift ends. Will definitely visit again

Great if you’re looking for good Mexican food & a great vibe. Went several times with colleagues for after work drinks. The service & the vibe is always on point.
