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.
Great food! Great atmosphere! Latin music!! Nice location! Affordable prices. We were served by Mathis a nice young man who was always proactive & took care of us well. I totally recommend this place. We ordered tacos & guacamole; all was delicious.

L'ambiance est impeccable (décor, emplacement, nourriture). J'ai également bien apprécié le service de notre serveur Diego (patient, serviable, rapide). Je conseille !!!!

we were super hungry & had no reservations & it was the last day of my mom's bd weekend.
Diego was our server & he helped us to pick the good ones in the menu & he did amazing. Service was fast & food was great.
I'd recommend guacamole
chicken mole
& tuna tostada ☺?
thanks to great service & awesome food.
The service was amazing- our server was so nice & enthusiastic & gave great recommendations. The food was delicious- particularly fantastic cornbread & delicious tacos. I had one of the best mojitos I've ever had. Their churros for dessert were also incredible! The patio also had a lovely atmosphere. 100% would go again & would certainly recommend to others!

Service rapide & courtois, cependant la nourriture manque de goût. Nous avons été déçus pourtant le mixte des cuisines mexicaine & asiatique devrait permettre de recevoir des plats goûteux… il manque un quelque chose aux plats qu'on a goûté (salade de mangue, tostadas de thon & ceviche de crevettes).
Ambience is amazing. Right in the heart of downtown Montreal. Diego was our server & he was so patient & kind with us. He provided us with alternative options & made suggestions as we weren't too familiar. He really made it a great experience. Quick service & friendly people.
Excellents tacos, mais ils sont minis, servis seuls dans l'assiette. Faut choisir un accompagnement & il n'y en a presque pas. Ceviche de crevettes aussi Excellent, bonne portion (5-6 crevettes). L'ambiance à l'intérieur : très très sombre, pas d'air climatisé (comme au Mexique 😂) musique feutrée, les tables sont petites pour 4 personnes, mais bon, ce fût agréable quand même, j'y retournerai, mais sur la terrasse. Je le recommande si vius n'avez pas très faim!
The food was honestly a bit dry & mid, the place was packed for sure & the setting was probably more appropriate for friends/colleagues night out than for enjoying a meal. The hostess had multiple jobs which caused it to take about 15 mins to be able to take our order, between server, waitress, & hostess of the place, despite her good attitude. Finally, the tacos are very small, yet come out to over $6 a piece. All in all, would not recommend.
