Ich habe noch nie so einen überforderten Service erlebt. Wir haben zB einen Aperol bestellt und der Service hat 35 Minuten gebraucht um zu merken, dass es keinen Aperol mehr gibt. Beim Essen war es genau so. Wasser wurde uns auch nicht angeboten. Wirklich enttäuschend..der Laden war noch nicht mal voll.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience after a very disappointing visit to Escondite on May 22nd.

I've been to this location many times over the years, & it has always been one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Montreal. I've even brought friends visiting from out of town because I've consistently enjoyed the food & atmosphere. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing on multiple levels.

We had a reservation for 7:30 PM. Upon arrival, we entered through the restaurant as we had done during previous visits & were told by the employee at the door to go back outside to the patio. When we went to the patio, the hostess told us that we should have entered through the restaurant. The conflicting directions were confusing, & the interaction itself was not particularly welcoming. Rather than making us feel like valued guests, it felt as though seating us was an inconvenience.

The most concerning issue occurred when we ordered a virgin cocktail. We specifically requested the non-alcoholic version & confirmed it with our server. However, the drink that arrived contained alcohol. As someone who has never consumed alcohol, I found this extremely disappointing & concerning. Mistakes can happen, but what was equally disappointing was the lack of a sincere apology or any effort to make the situation right. The drink was simply taken back & replaced, with little acknowledgment of the seriousness of the mistake.

Finally, the food quality was noticeably below the standard I've come to expect from Escondite. One of the reasons I've returned so many times is because of the consistently good food, but this visit felt very different. The overall quality was disappointing, & the meal simply did not reflect the level that had made this restaurant one of my favorites.

I am not a picky customer, nor am I someone who regularly leaves reviews. However, between the confusing arrival experience, the incorrect alcoholic drink, & the decline in food quality, this was by far my most disappointing visit. I'm sharing this feedback because I genuinely enjoy this restaurant & hope these issues are addressed so that future guests have a better experience.
