I seen the menu & had to try the food. I ordered the New El Paso Tacos with a ginger & pineapple punch drink. Very delicious! I would recommend trying this place out.
Nous avons adoré notre passage à ce restaurant. Le forfait à 40$ était excellent tout comme le service!
Cool spot, interesting menu (Mexican/Japanese fusion), but the food was just OK.
Great lunch at Escondite with the best server in Montreal- Aldo! Will be back!
Loved the service & the food! Highly recommend the Mezcalita cocktail🙌🏼
Belle expérience, j'ai pris les gyozas. Ils étaient raffinés & juste relevés comme il faut. Bonne adresse pour ceux qui aiment la cuisine mexicaine.
Super moment avec Lina qui est exceptionnelle, accueillante & souriante. De bons conseils également au niveau choix des menus & boissons Super moment ... à conseille
Dearest readers, it is with great exuberance & a hint of dramatic flair that I recount my recent sojourn to the marvelously eclectic Escondite Vieux-Port in the heart of Montreal. The establishment, with its warm & inviting ambiance, beckoned me in with the allure of a theatrical set, both inside & out, reminiscent of a bohemian haven. Upon entrance, we were greeted by a chorus of delightful servers, whose friendly demeanor & alacrity set the tone for an evening of gastronomic delight. Their service was as swift as a summer's breeze, ensuring our every whim was attended to with finesse. Our culinary journey commenced with the guacamole. Though it was passable, one couldn't help but feel a certain seasoning was MIA, much like a star actor absent from their premiere. However, this minor hiccup was swiftly forgotten as we moved on to the mango salad. Oh, what a revelation! Fresh, zesty, & as vibrant as a leading lady on opening night. The corn bread followed, & it was nothing short of perfection. A masterful balance of sweet & salty, its moist texture was akin to a well-delivered monologue - satisfying & utterly delightful. The quesadillas, I must say, were simply fantastic, deserving of a standing ovation. Lastly, we savored the fried chicken tacos. Spicy, yes, but oh so perfect, like the final act in a riveting drama that leaves the audience in awe. In conclusion, Escondite Vieux-Port offers a dining experience that is a veritable feast for the senses. It is a place where eclectic charm meets culinary excellence, & where one can bask in the warm glow of superb service. Do make a reservation & prepare to be dazzled.
We had high hopes for this place based on good reviews & the nice atmosphere when we walked in. Unfortunately the food quality & service was lacking. They were out of multiple items I tried ordering & by the time I finally was able to order my meal, the rest of my group was already finished eating. & then when my tacos finally arrived they were cold & I had to send them back. Almost everyone at our table was disappointed with their meal, would not recommend.
Don't mind my username, don't know how to change it. Tacos were flavourless, dry, & cold. Guacamole was unseasoned (needed both salt & lime). Paloma just tasted like a margarita. Super sour, no simple syrup, no idea if they put grapefruit in it. Food came before the drinks too, & in piecemeal over the course of the night after we sent the cold tacos back. Not sure how this place has a 4.3 rating.
