Review Summary

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.

Not satisfied we my experience here. Outside of our drinks the rest of the dishes were lacking flavour & very small portions. We ordered the tuna tostada & there was hardly any tuna & full of cucumber. I would not recommend this restaurant.

Bonne bouffe & super service de l'hôtesse & de notre serveur Daniel. Ils m'ont fait sentir très a l'aise pendant que j'attendais mon ami qui avait du retard... Les prix sont raisonnables pour le vieux port mais les portions étaient beaucoup plus petites qu'on pensais... Je le recommande comme resto & j'y retournerais.

A fantastic experience! Service was friendly & courteous. Our waitress Ping was so nice, all smiles & great service. Food was as usual delicious. We have been to several Escondite & it was our first time at the one in Old Port but definetely won't be the last! The restaurant had a very nice ambiance & it was very cozy. The decor, music & the food make you feel like you are somewhere else but in your own city. Great place! Definetely recommend!

SERVICE & GÉRANCE DISCUTABLES, bonne bouffe. Quand mon amie & moi sommes arrivés, la serveuse, pas sympathique, veut nous asseoir à la table juste à côté du seul autre couple dans le resto. Je lui demande si on peut s'asseoir 4 tables plus loin pour plus d'intimité, elle dit qu'elle ne peut pas car c'est pour les réservations 1h plus tard... On négocie pour 2 tables d'écart... Service correct, sans plus, pendant le repas, en plus que la serveuse nous rappelle qu'on doit libérer à 19h... Après le repas, je vais voir un employé qui dit être le gérant. Je l'informe qu'il serait préférable de ne pas asseoir les clients côte à côte, mais de les répartir dans le resto pour l'intimité. Il répond qu'il ne fonctionne pas comme ça...!! Je reparle à la serveuse & lui dit merci pour son service du repas, mais que nous avons failli ne pas rester à cause de son accueil. Elle répond "On ne peut pas tout avoir dans la vie"! RECOMMANDATION: l'équipe du resto a besoin d'une formation en bon service clientèle !!

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!

Restaurant mexicain situé dans le vieux port! J'ai adoré l'atmosphère, la décoration, le service bienveillant & la nourriture! Nous étions 15 personnes & on nous a donc proposé le menu dégustation à 35cad! Guacamole, quesadillas à la truffe, beignet de fromage, salade de mangue, tacos & churros... Tout était bon & copieux! Je recommande
