Bouffe excellente! Service à améliorer. La serveuse n'a pas expliqué les plats lors de leur service. Ne savions pas ce que nous mangions & de plus, le plat de mon conjoint avait été disposé avec ceux de « l'expérience » ce qui a amené un mélange entre nous tous
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
Stopped at Escondite for dinner before going to a Habs game. The service was quick & very friendly. The foods & drinks were very good. Nice atmosphere with Latin music.
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.

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.
C'était notre première fois à cette succursale & la nourriture est aussi bonne qu'aux autres endroits. Tuna tostada est une de nos entrees préféré. Grans choix de Tequila.
Pas notre première visite, mais première fois que nous commandions le menu expérience. Enchantés du début à la fin. Excellent service de notre hôtesse.

This place has always been a favorite for my wife & me. The food was excellent as usual, & we genuinely enjoy coming here. The only disappointment was what happened around ten in the evening. The staff began turning on the lights & making it clear they wanted us to leave, which felt rushed & out of place for a Saturday night. It took away from an otherwise great experience.
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.
