Review Summary

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.

Second visit: what an incredible experience. Jose & both his parents greeted us so warmly, treating us like family. The food was absolutely incredible, everything tasting authentic & mouth-watering. The tasters menu allowed us to try so many different options & the drinks were delicious. The decor is out of this world. Wall mural by Stikki_peaches showing "The Last Supper" Nacho Libre style. First visit: Lena was an amazing waitress! We had such a great experience eating at the Verdun location. Lena was attentionate & kind. Was able to make amazing drinks. The food was absolutely out of this world. The Atun tostada was reordered at the end of the night because it was fantastic. All the tacos (chicken, baja, shrimp) were perfection. Would recommend 10/10

Late with this review but I had to come back for this one. This is one of the best restaurants I've been to. The food was amazing tried about 8 things on the menu & every single one was delicious! The service was great, even if it was busy due to a Christmas party, & they were understaffed. The atmosphere wasn't to my liking, as I dont really like loud music while i eat, but I completely understand because of the event. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Super belle expérience! Nous avons pris le menu découverte & tout était à la hauteur. Cette formule "tapas" fonctionnait très bien pour essayer une bonne partie de la gamme des cuisiniers. Les cocktails étaient délicieux & notre serveur Jose, fût plus qu'attentioné & efficace. Je recommande chaudement!

C'était ma première fois à ce restaurant & je n'ai pas été déçu. Notre serveur José était sympathique, attentionné, efficace & très drôle. En ce qui concerne la nourriture, j'ai pris l'expérience escondite qui permet de découvrir les meilleurs plats du menu. Je n'ai pas du tout regretté mon choix. En effet, tous les plats étaient frais & savoureux. Mention spéciale aux tacos à la morue, définitivement mon plat préféré de la soirée. Je retourne demain matin sans hésiter & je recommande à tous! 🔥🌮🇲🇽

Notre serveur José était fantastique ainsi que tout le reste du personnel. L'ambiance était détendue & agréable. Je recommande à mes amis sans aucun doute.
