Tacos, guacamole, and other Mexican staples are frequently praised, with favorites like alambre tacos and birria mentioned, and drinks such as spicy margaritas getting strong praise.

We had a fantastic experience hosting our 2024 Alumni event at Escondite Drummond! From the amazing co-organization with Antares-who was incredibly patient & accommodating with all our questions & dietary restrictions-to the event itself, everything was absolutely perfect.

Nice food but service was a bit slow & waited a while in between courses - could be due to the large crowd. Nevertheless the gentleman serving us was pleasant & apologetic.
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.
Love the waiters & the service is what you want it to be, Slow or Fast & their drinks are amazing. Great food, great drinks & the staff are great. Keep it up.

Une expérience incroyablement atypique ! La cuisine est excellente & l'ambiance du restaurant nous plonge immédiatement dans une ambiance originale & haute en couleurs !! Le service est rapide, les serveurs amicaux, la nourriture exquise … tout est réuni pour passer un super moment !!! Je recommande vivement !!!
Bonne expérience chez Escondite ! Nous avons très bien mangé, l'ambiance était agréable & le service efficace & sympathique. Seul bémol : les margaritas, qui n'étaient pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. Dommage, car tout le reste était top !
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.
Surper belle soirée en couple! Ambiance chaleureuse & bonne nourriture! Nous avons pris le menu dégustation pour 2 & les quantités étaient amplement suffisantes. Impossible de tout terminer! Les serveurs étaient vraiment sympathiques! Je recommande!
