Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio est un restaurant mexicain qui sert des produits mexicains et des cocktails de tequila faits maison. Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted tequila cocktails.
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.
Quick service with food & drinks. We had several different tacos which I can call no better than OK. The pollos hermanos chicken was too hard, crunchy & dry. The al pastor pork was tasteless. Leaving the steak taco as the best. The cornbread was good though.
Went with a group & split 5 tacos. The environment was pleasant, the decor inside was very fun, although we could've used more water. We split 5 tacos, my choice was the fried chicken which was crispy & tasty. The Korean fusion taco was very interesting to try as well. Perfect to go to if you're touring the old port at sunset.

This was as expected, the food was ok, my partner had the shrimp tacos which were really good, but I hade the chicken which was super dry. So not as good. The drinks were ok, the service was friendly & prompt. For the old port tourist trap area not so bad
Leaving this review here because DoorDash review process is atrocious. I love this restaurant, like love ❤️ this restaurant. But the 9 polos tacos 🌮 I ordered were empty & dry. No coleslaw. No sauce. The mango salad was minuscule for $13.50. 😔 the guac & chips were excellent & thank God or we'd be starving. $104 for three 3️⃣ people. Disappointing.
Très très bon !!! Bonne ambiance, service très rapide. Les cocktails sont très bons. Je le recommande a tout ceux qui aiment les tacos & la cuisine mexicaine.
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!
Excellent ambiance! Les tacos étaient savoureux surtout accompagnés des sauces piquantes! Le service de Carla était extraordinaire, souriante & attentionnée elle a été un plus à l'expérience.
I went here with my boyfriend, straight when we walked in ,great ambiance, good music playlist, we served by a waiter called Aldo with great service, highly recommend this kind waiter. Also the Taco called Alambre was very tasty & delicious. Would totally come back here 10/10.
We went to this place as a bet. My girlfriend was not sure about it but I convinced her it would be good. From the moment we walked in we were treated warmly. We ordered drinks that met our expectations. We ordered the avocado & chips. The dip tasted creamy & smooth as the crispy homemade chips dipped into it. The chips themselves were a delight. We ordered the baja, Mr mole, poll o hermanos, alambre tacos. They were very delish. Overall we had a great time here.
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
