Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant, authentic atmosphere and flavorful, fresh menu, with many diners highlighting the quality of the tacos, margaritas, and brunch options. While the tasting menus are frequently recommended for groups seeking to sample a variety of dishes, many patrons point out that individual portions can be quite small and pricey. Service experiences appear inconsistent; while several guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, others report significant delays, lapses in communication, or challenges with billing transparency. Despite mixed feedback regarding noise levels and value, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a festive environment and creative Mexican-fusion cuisine.

Repas délicieux mais les portions tellement petites que la facture augmente rapidement. Les tacos sont delicieux malgré leurs très petites tailles. Les portions sont de style tapas & fait pour être partager mais quand il y a que 2 petits tacos dans l'assiette sans accompagnement ....C'est difficile de partager .
Le service est lent & la serveuse ne viens pas remplir les verres d'eau, ne s'informe pas si tout est correct & ne fais pas de suivi après qu'une autre serveuse ramasse les assiettes vides. Donc , laisses les clients à poireauter. Ne demandez pas de café car il n'y en as pas dutout. Nous avons attendu un gros 20 minutes pour des churros qui n'étaient pas assez cuit . Dispendieux pour les quantités servis, service moyen mais les tacos sont succulents!
P.s. aucun stationnement disponible , nous avons dû tourner plusieurs fois dans les petites rues pour trouver une place.

Nice tapas options, good cocktails, great decor inside & nice ambiance in the patio outside. Some good fusion ideas (e.g., Gyoza nachos).

We celebrated a birthday at Escondite in Verdun with a large group of friends, & it was an absolutely fantastic experience!
From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome. The service was exceptional-friendly, attentive, & always delivered with a smile. Everyone went above & beyond to make our celebration special.
The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, & the prices were very reasonable. The atmosphere was vibrant, fun, & full of positive energy, making it the perfect place to celebrate with family & friends.
We highly recommend Escondite for any occasion, whether it's a birthday party, a family gathering, a night out with friends, or simply enjoying great food & drinks in a warm & welcoming environment.
A heartfelt thank you to the entire Escondite team for helping make our celebration so memorable. We'll definitely be back! Nelly & Francisco

There was one waitress & the place was completely empty including the patio. They used this excuse to not allow us to sit on the patio ? I guess they're doing fine without our business

My God, the best fish tacos I've ever had in my life! So fresh, it's almost as though they fished them out of baja Verdun this morning!

One of the only places in the world where they serve a proper Margarita using Cazadores Tequila...
