Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant atmosphere, creative decor, and flavorful menu, with many diners highlighting the tacos, cocktails, and brunch options as standout experiences. While the tasting menu is frequently recommended as a way to enjoy a variety of high-quality dishes, opinions on value are polarized due to concerns over small portion sizes and the total cost. Service quality appears to be inconsistent across visits, with many guests reporting friendly and attentive care, while others note instances of slow service, errors, or a lack of professionalism that detract from the otherwise festive environment.

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...

Ate at this location before so was aware of the portion size & price. Went for a birthday dinner, waitress could not understand when I ordered a Sol, only to eventually tell me they didn't have any. Appetizers were fine, just extremely small. Fish tacos which I've had before were so spicy I could not get through even 2 of them. When I explained to the waitress she argued with me telling me she had them earlier & they were fine & told me I must have had them at a different location (which was not correct). After this the waitress refused to return to the table & sent someone else to collect the plates. After explaining once again. They eventually took the tacos off the bill. When handed the debit machine to pay, waitress watched over my shoulder as soon as tip option appeared. Would never return to this restaurant.

Souper de fête des mères avec 4 mamans & grands-mamans, & 2 fistons. Assez calme pour un soir de hockey. Malheureusement c'était trop frais pour la terrasse. Mojito & bière lager Escondite excellents. Par contre les plats sont trop petits, avec seulement 2 minis tacos sans accompagnement. Les tacos au bo6et à l'agneau dont délicieux. C'est certainement bien pour le midi, mais il faudrait peut-être élaborer un menu du soir avec des plats plus soutenants. Excellente expérience malgré tout. Donc commandez en double.

Wow wow wow. Best tacos I've ever had. Food & drinks were delicious. Everything tasted so fresh. Staff was friendly. We had the birria lamb, shrimp, Korean steak, shrimp & chicken tacos. You have to try the Fuego margarita...a bit spicy but oh so tasty. There are also different flavors of lemonade. Passion friut lemonade was my choice. No complaints. 10/10

Flexible menu to accommodate gluten-free diet. Dishes are small in size, with huge flavours. Delicious tacos.

Had a good time, the place energy was great, servers were nice & polite.

The food to be honest a amazingly tasty. Especially the Pork Ribs with cherry sauce & taco el pastor.

The cocktail were great also they had a very charismatic bartender that puts effort in the drink.

They made Taco Friday our best day 🌮

Absolutely disgusting. One taco was missing, & there was no garnish, no cilantro, no lime. The onions & pineapple looked shrivelled up & smelled old, like they'd been sitting around for who knows how long. The food was ice cold, swimming in grease, dry & completely flavourless. It's obvious the restaurant didn't even bother to heat anything before sending it out, despite the delivery driver having an insulated bag. Honestly, this was borderline inedible-tasteless, sloppy garbage. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! I wouldn't feed this to my worst enemy.

Very disappointed. There was more mayo than fish & more cabbage than chicken in my tacos.

I got a 2/1 taco al pasto- so I was expecting 2 plates for 2 people- one box for tacos. Pretty bummed out it s delicous but I was expecting a certain amount for the price & the advertising. Like normal price would be like 20$ for 2 tacos!!???
