Reviews portray Escondite as a lively taqueria with bright decor and a warm, festive vibe that shifts from relaxed to buzzing depending on the night. The food draws praise for bold flavors and fresh ingredients, with the tasting menu and standout tacos earning frequent compliments, while portions are often described as small and prices high for the size. Service is usually friendly and attentive, though opinions split on speed and consistency during busy periods. The atmosphere on the terrace is delightful when weather and street life cooperate, while the interior can be loud with music and crowds. Occasional notes mention fine touches for celebrations and some guests feeling charged for extras on the bill, underscoring a wish for clearer pricing. Overall, Escondite comes across as a tasty, vibrant spot with a memorable vibe, delivering strong experiences on some visits and more mixed ones on others.
Dining at Escondite on Wellington was a fantastic experience. The charming location & vibrant decor create a welcoming atmosphere. The food was delicious with a diverse menu that caters to all tastes. Special mention goes to José, our server, for his attentive & friendly service. Escondite is a gem in Verdun, combining amazing food, great service, & a charming location. Highly recommended.
Une super expérience! On a été servi par Jose & je ne peux pas plus recommander ce restaurant si vous êtes un amateur de nourriture mexicaine. L'ambiance est familiale & chaleureuse!

Super souper sur la terrasse dans la jolie partie piétonne de Wellington. Excellent service par notre serveur José. J'ai pris les tostadas (coup de coeur) & les tacos El new paso, également délicieux! Je recommande.
Jose nous a servie. Le personnel était attentionné & courtois, toujours prêt à répondre à nos besoins sans être envahissant. La présentation des plats était soignée, & l'attente entre les plats était raisonnable, permettant de profiter pleinement de chaque bouchée & de la terrasse. L'ambiance du restaurant ajoutait à l'expérience globale. Les tacos au poulet que j'ai dégustés étaient parmi les meilleurs que j'aie jamais goûtés. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'une cuisine mexicaine authentique & savoureuse, accompagnée d'un excellent service & d'une ambiance agréable, je vous recommande vivement ce restaurant.
Amazing, purely splendid! Came here to celebrate my friend's birthday. We shared mango insalata, guacamole & cauliflower general tao as appetizers & each tried a set of tacos. Every plate was delicious, artistically crafted & left me wanting more. The servers were very attentive & prepared an unforgettable birthday special performance. 100% recommend & would come again! Warm atmosphere as well.

Pleasantly surprised by the delicious tasting menu. Food & service was phenomenal, the waiter Jose was very nice & every time he came by with the following dish he would brighten up the experience by striking a pleasant conversation. Cannot recommend this place enough, can't wait to go back!
One word to describe our night... Amazing. Perfect for carnivores, pescatarians, vegetarians & vegans ! We were 6 people (3 couples), the waiter recommended the Escondite experience for 45$ (which we all took) it included guacamole & chips, mango & cucumber salad, chicken wings&ribs (vegan option cauliflower wings), mushroom & cheese tortilla, 3 kinds of tacos (fish, chicken &pork) & for plant based (cauliflower & vegan protein) & finally churros for dessert. Everything tasted so fresh & so flavourful. 🤤😍 The waiter also recommended the spicy margarita.... yuuuuuumm. I took 2 it was so delicious!! I hate cilantro & all I had to do is mention it & problem solved. First time I can actually enjoy so many mexican dishes without it ! Drinks & food was so good & everyone was completely full & satisfied at the end of the night. Service was perfect as well ! Food was so good we barely took the time to take pictures 😅 we stuffed our face instead! Thank you to our waier Jose 😁❤️❤️❤️
The food was amazing! Definitely recommend. Service was also great. Will be back 😄 It was someone's birthday & the staff dressed up like Hispanic wrestlers & put on a show. Was very cool to see!
