Escondite comes across as a trendy, flavorful Mexican spot with a lively, eclectic vibe and a prime location in Montreal's Old Port. The tacos draw praise for flavor and variety, with crowd favorites like shrimp and Gobernador noted, but portions are often small and prices can feel high for what is served. The drinks and margaritas are frequently cited as well balanced and creative, with some standout bites like guacamole and queso fundido pairing well with the menu. Service quality is mixed; some experiences are fast, friendly, and attentive, while others are slower, less consistent, or rushed during busy times, and staff attitude can noticeably affect the mood. The atmosphere is repeatedly described as stylish and cozy, with colorful decor and a terrace that adds to the appeal for a night out or a casual bite. A few reviews caution about ceviche or certain dishes and mention dryness or inconsistent flavor, while other dishes are praised as delicious. Overall, Escondite seems worth a visit for the tacos and drinks and the overall vibe, with the caveat that portion sizes and value can vary with timing and service.

My boyfriend & I went here to try the tequila tasting. It was superb. The manager (forgot his name) was so well educated & passionate with his tequila knowledge. He explain the proper way to drink tequila, the different types & shared stories of how he was introduced to tequila by his father & grandfather. It was by far the best experience we had in Montreal & would highly recommend it. Unfortunately we stumbled across the restaurant after dinner so we didn't eat anything but we couldn't resist the churros which were amazing. Would definitely come back & would highly recommend this place!!

We walked by & heard a good crowd with Latin music & stopped in. We just meant to stay for a drink but after having some guacamole & margaritas we stayed for tacos. Almost like being in Mexico & Otis was a great bartender. Highly recommend the Media Noche margarita. Muchas gracias Otis!
