Escondite propose une exploration vibrante de la culture culinaire mexicaine contemporaine à travers une vaste sélection de tacos artisanaux et de petites assiettes inspirées de l'Amérique latine. Le menu met l'accent sur des profils de saveurs audacieux en associant des protéines de qualité supérieure comme les carnitas mijotées ou le poisson croustillant façon baja à des salsas maison et des garnitures fraîches. Les convives découvrent un environnement énergique caractérisé par une décoration éclectique et une mise en avant marquée des spiritueux à base d'agave. La cuisine démontre une précision technique en équilibrant les méthodes de préparation traditionnelles avec une touche culinaire moderne pour garantir l'intégrité et l'authenticité de chaque plat. Des créations emblématiques comme les épis de maïs grillés et les déclinaisons complexes de mole soulignent un engagement envers la diversité régionale tout en assurant une expérience sensorielle dynamique.
Escondite est largement apprécié pour son atmosphère dynamique, son menu créatif de fusion mexicaine et asiatique, ainsi que ses cocktails signature, notamment les margaritas. De nombreux clients louent la saveur des plats tels que les nachos aux gyozas, la sélection de tacos et le guacamole frais, tout en soulignant le décor accueillant et la terrasse agréable du Vieux-Port. Bien que plusieurs visiteurs soulignent la qualité du service attentionné, certains convives ont exprimé des réserves concernant la petite taille des portions par rapport aux prix, des incohérences de service lors des périodes d'affluence et un manque de flexibilité face aux restrictions alimentaires. Malgré des avis partagés sur le rapport qualité-prix et l'efficacité, l'établissement demeure une destination prisée pour ceux qui recherchent une expérience sociale animée dans un cadre unique.
Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh, flavorful, & came out quickly. The tacos were packed with flavor, the chips & salsa were delicious, & the margaritas were amazing. The staff was so friendly & attentive, & the atmosphere was fun & welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back & would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Mexican food
Fun little Mexican spot in Old Montreal. We had a quick taco lunch while exploring the area. Service was very good, friendly & attentive. Food was quite yummy! Decor was very cool!
If you're in the Old Port of Montreal & craving some fun, vibrant Mexican food with a creative twist, Escondite Vieux-Port is definitely worth checking out.
We stumbled upon this spot while wandering the cobblestone streets & were drawn in by the playful vibe, colorful decor, & upbeat music. The interior is eclectic & cozy, with Day of the Dead artwork, quirky details, & a lively but chill ambiance that makes it feel like a hidden gem.
Now to the food - overall, it was very good, with a few standout hits & a couple of misses depending on your palate. The tacos are the star of the show. We tried a variety (the Gobernador, Pollo Frito, & Camaron), & each one had its own distinct flavor & presentation. The shrimp tacos were my personal favorite - crispy, fresh, & packed with flavor.
The guacamole & chips were solid - not mind-blowing, but fresh & satisfying. We also ordered the queso fundido, which was ooey-gooey indulgence, especially when paired with the chips. The Mexican street corn (elotes) was delicious & charred just right.
Drinks-wise, the cocktail menu is creative, & the margaritas are well-balanced with a little flair. Great spot for a round of drinks with friends or a date night.
Service was friendly but could've been a bit more attentive. It got busy during peak hours, so there were some small delays in checking in & getting the bill, but nothing major.
Prices are fair for the area, especially given the quality & portion size. Definitely on the trendier side, but not overly pretentious.
All in all, Escondite Vieux-Port is a fun & flavorful stop in Old Montreal - a cool vibe, bold flavors, & a solid addition to the Montreal taco scene. Would definitely return to try more of the menu!

We had a great experience, & mostly thanks to our waiter, Diego. He was attentive, warm, & had perfect timing, making us feel taken care of without ever hovering. His food suggestions were spot-on. The excellent service made an already delicious dinner even better.
Our server, Daniel, was absolutely amazing! I went out with my sister, & we always argue over who gets to cover the bill. I asked Daniel to bring out just one bill, but he cleverly brought out two-one of which included the full total, while the other made it seem like the bill was split. My sister assumed we were paying separately, only to realize after I had already covered everything. It was such a small detail, but it completely caught us both by surprise since it's not something servers typically do. A brilliant trick on his part! Beyond that, his service throughout the evening was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, & made our experience even better. I'd love to have him as our server again!
