Review Summary

Escondite presents a lively, stylish Mexican spot with a playful vibe and a solid taco lineup, where shrimp and Gobernador style tacos stand out, guacamole and elotes satisfy, and cocktails add flair, but portions are often small and prices can feel high for what's served; the atmosphere, decor and location in Montreal are appealing and attract a fun crowd, though service can be inconsistent, from friendly and attentive to rushed or slow at peak times; overall the experience is flavorful with many highlights and a few misses, prompting some guests to return to explore more of the menu while others feel the value could be better.

10/10 amazing food & drinks! The gyoza nachos were amazing. I will be coming back for more.

Went there Saturday night. Food & drink were ok. This was our first time there. Waitress was very rude from arrival. She assumed we all wanted the group package without asking anyone. Brought us chips & dip without asking if we wanted it so we assumed it was included & then she took everything away while we were eating it when when she realised we were unaware they were not included. When we inquired about the menu she got annoyed at the fact we were'ignorant' of their menu & group package. She actually took the menus away at the same time she took the chips & dip back & never brought them back.
One of the guests asked to order Nachos, her response was'were a mexican asian fusion restaurant, so ..', didn't bother actually answering the question. Just super rude.

So tasty!

Gyoza Nacho has so much taste! We also had the Birria Tacos- enough meat for four tacos.

No reservations needed for walk in bar service.

Absolute must visit for Old Port Mexican!

Funky taqueria with a super interesting dish - Gyoza Nacho - Asian dumplings with a Mexican twist. Our waiter, Diego, was very attentive.

El gaucamole con los "nachos" estaba bueno. El servicio muy mejorable. Bastante descuidado, además de que vigilaba que dejásemos un minimo de propina (ilegal).

Honestly this place doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It's not bad but it's far from good. Menu is a weird fusion, almost ordered what I thought was nachos to find out it's actually "nacho dumplings?" Ordered the quesadilla, it had such a strong truffle flavor that pairs horribly with the cheese. Sorry guys everything was fine service food was prepared well just not a good cohesive menu. :

It was an ok experience, the food has a better presentation than the taste itself. The menu give an idea that you're gonna experience a complexe taste which us not the case. Though we were impressed by the great service! The first picture is the nachos which were the best. The second one is the tuna tostada there was way too much cucumber & barely an overall taste as if it was just a salad that was not eatable. The tacos were not bad , my favourite was the fried chicken one.

Love the fun atmosphere of this place! Very good food especially the Gyozas Nachos & shrimp tacos. The drinks are incredibly well made. Love their outside terrasse as well!

Beef taco was awesome. Nacho was great. The waiter said it was spicy but it's totally tolerable. Sharing some photos of inside decorations.

Edit Oct 2023: Food was not as good as it was on our last visit. The guac & chips was very disappointing. The gyoza nachos looked & tasted different/ less flavourful, fish tacos were still very good, but all the others were just meh. Outdoor patio is cute.

May 2023: AMAZING food. The gyoza nachos are to die for (don't judge them by their name) & the tacos are super delicious. Exceptional service by Carla. The ambience is also super cool & fun -eccentric decor!

I loved the tacos; they were delicious. However, I had higher hopes for the pork ribs, but they turned out to be average & not very fresh. Usually, I get free nachos in Mexican restaurants, or even french fries with ribs, but that wasn't the case here. I'm disappointed. In general, if I go there again, I'll only order tacos (though it's unfortunate that you can't order mix combinations of tacos).
