Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio est un restaurant mexicain qui sert des produits mexicains et des cocktails de tequila faits maison. Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted tequila cocktails.
Escondite propose un endroit mexicain animé et élégant avec une ambiance ludique et une offre de tacos solide, où les tacos de crevettes et le Gobernador ressortent, le guacamole et les elotes satisfont, et les margaritas et cocktails apportent une touche, mais les portions sont souvent petites et les prix peuvent sembler élevés pour ce qui est servi; l'ambiance, la déco et l'emplacement au centre de Montréal plaisent et attirent une foule conviviale, bien que le service soit inégal allant d'un service chaleureux et attentif à un service pressé ou lent pendant les heures d'affluence; dans l'ensemble l'expérience est savoureuse avec plusieurs points forts et quelques déceptions, incitant certains clients à revenir explorer d'autres plats tandis que d'autres estiment que la valeur n'est pas au rendez-vous.
Went there Saturday night. Food & drink were ok. This was our first time there. Waitress was very rude from arrival. She assumed we all wanted the group package without asking anyone. Brought us chips & dip without asking if we wanted it so we assumed it was included & then she took everything away while we were eating it when when she realised we were unaware they were not included. When we inquired about the menu she got annoyed at the fact we were'ignorant' of their menu & group package. She actually took the menus away at the same time she took the chips & dip back & never brought them back.
One of the guests asked to order Nachos, her response was'were a mexican asian fusion restaurant, so ..', didn't bother actually answering the question. Just super rude.
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!
We loved the Baja Tacos here! We were looking for a Mexican restaurant after coming back late in Montreal from Quebec City. The kitchen was about to close in 5 minutes, but Daniel, our server, accommodated us still. The tacos were amazing.
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!
Excellent spot for Mexican food & drink, menu has an Asian fusion to it as well. Diego our host was knowledgeable, friendly & provided excellent service!
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!
The food here is mediocre. One of the tacos we ordered, the New El Pastor was unpalatable. Despite telling our server we didn't like it, & eating maybe half of one taco, it was left on our bill. The cabbage slaw on the fish taco was dry as a bone. There was not enough lime or salt in the guac. & when I asked for hot sauce, they offered me Tabasco... Tabasco at a Mexican restaurant? That must be a crime... I think it's possible this restaurant was good before it expanded to several locations. My partner had it 3 years prior & remembers it being good. Honestly I'm shocked they can support rent in downtown Montreal with that food quality.
Tacos were tasty but a bit overpriced. I was quite disappointed at the beer options as its a Mexican restaurant with no mexican beers. I would suggest to hold at least one mexican beer on the menu.

This is a fun restaurant to go to with friends or as a family. We have tried both & enjoyers ourselves very much. The drink menu is excellent & there is a good variety of food. We tried the chefs choice for $45 per person. We got an excellent selection of tacos, & appetizers as well as some fantastic ribs. They were sweet & tender with a little cumin for some Mexican flavour. The service was fast & efficient but we did not feel rushed. I will definitely eat here again.
Perfect mexican food spot in old Port of Montreal! Convenient location & great many selection. Cocktails aren't bad either. Ceviche is a must try. A serving of homemade chips along with your meal is a nice touch
Escondite Vieux-Port in Montreal is an absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, I was enchanted by the warm & cozy ambiance. The rustic decor & dim lighting create an inviting atmosphere that’s perfect for a night out.
Now, let’s talk about the food. The menu is a delightful fusion of Mexican & Southern cuisine, & every dish I tried was a flavor explosion. The tacos are a must-try; they’re packed with fresh ingredients & bold spices. The cocktails are equally impressive, with a wide variety to choose from.
What sets Escondite apart, though, is the outstanding service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, & knowledgeable about the menu. They made great recommendations & ensured our dining experience was top-notch.
Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner spot or a fun night out with friends, Escondite Vieux-Port delivers on all fronts. I can’t wait to go back & explore more of their delicious offerings!
I loved the tacos; they were delicious. However, I had higher hopes for the pork ribs, but they turned out to be average & not very fresh. Usually, I get free nachos in Mexican restaurants, or even french fries with ribs, but that wasn't the case here. I'm disappointed. In general, if I go there again, I'll only order tacos (though it's unfortunate that you can't order mix combinations of tacos).
