Stopped at this taco place on my visit from Vancouver. As a Mexican I really enjoyed the atmosphere & the decor. Server was very friendly also. Go there & enjoy some good Latin music & tasty Mexican/fusion food.

Escondite was a true hidden gem within the streets of Old Montreal. The music was great, the baja tacos to die for, & the service excellent. Carla's attention was great. 100% recommended.

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!

A fantastic experience! Service was friendly & courteous. Our waitress Ping was so nice, all smiles & great service. Food was as usual delicious. We have been to several Escondite & it was our first time at the one in Old Port but definetely won't be the last! The restaurant had a very nice ambiance & it was very cozy. The decor, music & the food make you feel like you are somewhere else but in your own city. Great place! Definetely recommend!

We walked by & heard a good crowd with Latin music & stopped in. We just meant to stay for a drink but after having some guacamole & margaritas we stayed for tacos. Almost like being in Mexico & Otis was a great bartender. Highly recommend the Media Noche margarita. Muchas gracias Otis!
