Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative Mexican and Asian fusion menu, and standout cocktails, particularly the margaritas. Many guests praise the delicious food, especially the tacos, guacamole, and unique gyoza nachos, noting that the decor and overall vibe make it a fantastic destination in Old Port. While service is frequently described as exceptional and attentive, some diners report inconsistencies, citing issues with long wait times, occasionally rude staff, or challenges with dietary requests. Opinions on portion sizes and value are mixed, as several visitors feel the dishes are quite small and expensive, though the majority appreciate the quality and lively setting for social gatherings.

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.

Beautiful decor, delicious food & pitchers of margaritas, our server Aldo was great But definitely NOT somewhere to go for a loud party atmosphere as we were shushed a number of times & even told they needed the table (which was clearly a lie as half the place was empty & our reservation did not have a time limit), so we left pretty early. When 6 late 40 year old women cause them trouble you know they need to lighten up!
