Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its lively atmosphere, authentic decor, and consistently delicious Mexican-inspired dishes, with many diners highlighting the tacos, guacamole, and mango salad as standouts. While some guests find the portions small or the pricing on the higher side, the creative cocktail menu, particularly the margaritas and mezcalitas, receives frequent praise. The service is often described as warm, efficient, and professional, making it a popular destination for groups, pre-show dining near the Bell Centre, and casual outings, though experiences can occasionally vary regarding seating wait times or communication in French.

Habituellement je vais à celui de Repentigny & j'ai toujours adoré mon expérience donc je me suis dit que j'allais essayer celui de Montréal (avant un spectacle au centre Bell).
J'ai malheureusement été déçue. J'ai pris exactement les mêmes plats qu'au resto de Repentigny, mais la nourriture était fade, froide, pas de sauce sur les tacos & ils goûtaient le brûlé. Pour le prix assez exorbitant, je suis restée sur ma faim.
Une partie du personnel ne parlait qu'anglais (ce qui ne me perturbe pas car je suis bilingue, sauf que ça pourrait déranger d'autres clients de ne pas se faire servir en français au Québec).
Je ne retournerai pas à cette succursale & je ne la recommande pas.

It's a fair place for fun with friends. Food is quite good although not many choices & it's fusion Mexican. Drinks are crazy expensive, 19$ for a classic 125ml margarita is abusive. Good location near Bell centre.
