Le Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio est un restaurant mexicain situé au centre-ville de Montréal, à quelques pas du Centre Bell. On y sert de savoureuses spécialités mexicaines et des cocktails Tequila maison.
Escondite ressort comme une adresse prisée pour une expérience mexicaine conviviale, avec une décoration colorée et une ambiance chaleureuse. Les plats et les boissons sont généralement très appréciés, des tacos variés (poulet, alambre, birria, poisson Baja) à la guacamole et aux salades relevées, et des cocktails comme les margaritas et les mojitos font aussi des heureux, avec des options végétariennes et des boissons sans alcool mentionnées par certains. Le service est souvent décrit comme rapide et sympathique, avec un personnel attentif, même lors des soirs charges; toutefois certains avis signalent des portions modestes et des tarifs un peu élevés, et quelques commandes peuvent arriver tard. Pour un repas entre amis ou avant un événement, l'endroit convient et l'ambiance est adaptée aux groupes, avec une terrasse agréable lorsque le temps le permet. Globalement, Escondite est perçu comme une valeur sûre: nourriture savoureuse, ambiance accueillante et expérience conviviale, sans prétention et à des prix raisonnables dans le quartier, ce qui incite souvent à revenir.
I was downtown for a concert on Saturday & was looking for a place to eat. I found this restaurant on Google, called ahead, & asked if they could seat me in 10 minutes. They said yes, so I headed over.
When I arrived, I reminded them that I had called, & they confirmed they had a table for me. I was seated, went to wash my hands, & then returned to the table ready to order since we were on a tight schedule before the concert.
Unfortunately, from the moment we sat down to the moment we left, we were completely ignored. We waited over 20 minutes. No one came to greet us, offer water, take a drink order, or ask if we were ready to order food. We had menus in front of us & were clearly ready, but not a single staff member acknowledged us.
The restaurant wasn't even busy. There were plenty of open tables, so there was no obvious reason for the lack of service.
Given our time constraints, we had no choice but to leave & go elsewhere. The next restaurant seated & served us quickly without issue.
Very disappointing experience.

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.
Our server was awesome, but we had a reservation for 6 & didn't get sat until 6:30 which was disappointing. We explained to our server though & he made sure we got our drinks & food quickly! Overall great experience & it was a busy night after all.
The food is always amazing! Great service, quick & efficient - friendly & fun - before a concert at the Bell center. Love the atmosphere. Picthers were delicious!
Such a cute atmosphere & delicious food. We walked in for a late lunch & they accommodated us quickly. Guacamole was spot on. I loved the tuna tostadas & the pumpkin seeds on top. Loved the unique combinations of flavors! Definitely worth a visit.
Nice staff & cool place with great tacos, 2 tacos for about $12 , super tasty & good size menu with something for everyone, not to mention really nice drinks. Staff were friendly, good & food & drinks delivered super quick, will be back! 😀 🌮
This was our second time eating at an Escondite, but our first time at this location. Had a delicious meal & loved every bit of it! We tried the gyoza nachos & we only wish there was more of it in the serving. For tacos we tried the Korean steak, fried chicken, al pastor, & baja fish. All were great but my fave was the Baja fish & my partners favourite was the Korean steak. Definitely recommend making a reservation as this place filled up quick on a Saturday night.
We came here with a group of 11 for a bachelor party & they were so very hospitable! The food was incredible & came out quickly, the decor all over was just so fun, & all of the staff were patient with us & treated us with such kindness. Recommend this to anyone local or traveling to Montreal!
