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.
Expérience culinaire 3/5 c'est des tacos format tapas, pour le prix c'est très moyen, mais le goût était bon. Service 3/5 service rapide gens gentils. Ambiance 3/5 le décor était très bien par contre pour débuter un shift de soir le sol était sale Pour 2 personnes 4 portions de tacos & un ceviche aux alentour de 87$ tips inclus.
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.
The baja tacos were a burst of freshness in every bite! From the crisp veggies to the succulent seafood, every ingredient tasted like it was just picked. The customer service was exceptional, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. My fiancé, who wasn't a fan of Mexican cuisine, was won over by the flavors & hospitality. Can't wait to visit again soon!
Nous sommes allés souper un dimanche soir. Nous avons apprécié le souper. Le décor du resto est vraiment bien réussi. Le service étaiit rapide. On commandait & l'assiette arrivait peu de temps après. Qualité/prix, je donne un 10/10!! C'était très abordable. Je pensais que les tacos étaient petit mais ils sont assez garnis.
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 😁❤️❤️❤️

José is the best! Cocktails & food are amazing. All the tacos are great but the codfish one is amazing!! Get the churros con chocolat & the creamy rose Patron Tequilla for dessert: a classy & perfect combination!
Service super chaleureux & très efficace. Les enfants sont les bienvenus & nous adorons l'ambiance & le décor. C'est désormais notre go-to lorsque nous avons envie de nous réunir en famille & savourer de délicieux tacos. Les Tuna tostadas sont assurément notre coup de coeur. Merci pour ton accueil Jose!
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
