Cool taco spot in Vieux-Montreal. Great taco options with an amazing quesadilla. Shame we came after the patio was shut down, would have been a great view of the street,

We live in Mexico & were pleasantly surprised by the authentic & creative fare offered by Escondite Montreal. If you enjoy true comida Mexicana, give them a visit & if you're lucky, you'll get Emilie as your server! She's a bright light that augmented our experience!

Escondite est l'un de mes resto favoris, j'ai été à leur succursale de la rue Drummond, rue Union & celui au Quartier Dix30 en plus d'avoir commandé plusieurs fois par Ubereat pendant la pandémie. J'ai essayé celui du Vieux Port dernièrement avec un groupe de 4 amies, la nourriture & l'ambiance du resto étaient à la hauteur (5 étoiles), mais le service était vraiment horrible! J'ai rarement été aussi mal servie, la serveuse avait carrément l'air bête, elle ne venait jamais à notre table nous devions l'accrocher quand elle passait pour commander un autre verre ou le dessert ou prendre la facture & nous avions l'air de la déranger à chaque fois alors que le restaurant était à moitié plein & qu'ils étaient 2-3 serveurs. Je vais continuer à aller au Escondite, car tout est délicieux & frais, mais peut-être plus à celui du Vieux-Port malheureusement.
