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.
Best guacamole I've ever had (the chips were unreal)! Tacos were excellent, & the service was fantastic. It's going to be hard not to stop by after work.
An amazing experience on all levels. Food, service, ambiance...all were beyond my expectations. Our waiter Christian was friendly & helpful & made us feel like family. I recommend the Pollos Hermanos tacos for an excellent fried chicken experience, & polish it off with a shot of Peloton de la Muerte Mezcal to finish the evening on a smokey & spicy note. Update: Had another great evening tonight. Our waiter this time was Israel, & he was wonderful. Super attentive & friendly & helpful. The staff here are fantastic.

First time there, GF brought me for my bday, had the experience & it was perfect, i highly recommend it if you have a hard time deciding what to get, it comes with 5 courses, my favorites were the corn muffing, they were soft & more like a cake, just amazing, the wings were just crunchy sticky saucy goodness, & the round of soft shelled tacos (2 fried chicken, 2 steak & 2 shrimp) were amazing, seafood is not for me so i let my gf have the shrimp ones, the service was phenomenal, super pleasant & just added to the experience, this is Verdun's new hidden gem & i highly recommend checking it out, would give 10 stars it it were possible.
Bon rapport qualité / prix - les produits sont frais & de qualités, les tacos délicieux & le service attentionné. Une belle adresse pour une soirée dans un décor moderne & coloré. & en prime un fond musical qui ne couvre pas les conversations (on s'entend sans devoir hurler à son voisin).
PS: le dessert au lime est vraiment vraiment bon !
Super restaurant à Verdun! Ambiance festive & une belle décoration! Je conseille fortement le restaurant pour un service amical, de bons drinks & tacos! Prenez la margarita épicée
Tacos were delicious & so was the quesadilla. The tacos are a little on the smaller side, though that’s the only downside. Good ambiance. It was lacking in vegetarian options as only the quesadilla, one of the taco choices & one appetizer were vegetarian on the menu
First time trying the new spot an Wellington in Verdun. Love the decor & ambiance.
The food was delicious but almost $93 for 12 small Tacos, 1 tiny cornbread & a coke is absolutely ridiculous!
No chips & salsa offered & you have to pay to try their hot sauces.

Un local plein de couleurs & d’images qui vous transportent à l’essence de la culture mexicaine.
Un service impeccable.
Un menu bien pensé pour que les convives puissent se régaler en essayant différentes options.
Lors de cette visite, j’ai goûté les tacos, les toasts, les guacamoles & les cocktails. Absolument délicieux.
Sans aucun doute j'y retournerai !
Fish tacos are super delicious & the gyoza nachos are insane! So many drinks to choose from & I can't wait to go for brunch with bottomless mimosas!!!
You gotta try here!
The food is absolutely delicious! I knew the brand & have tried their tacos many times but the new opening in Verdun doesn't betray their signature. The service is great & the decor is always fabulous! I recommend the Barbacoa & the E-steak tacos ! Add some tabasco for realness! Love it & will come back for more !
Great food, very nice ambiance & the team is chill & very welcoming! Love the fact they have a unique twist on mexican food, with a hint of Asia. Love the flavors & the amazing dishes, lots of choices. My favorites are the baja tacos, pollos hermanos & nacho 2.0 dumplings! Big shout out to a wonderful host & bartender Cristian

J'ai fait des Escondite mais c'est la place que j'aime le plus! Beau décor avec de succulents tacos. On en a goûté le Mexique! Des drinks sont superbes sans parlé du service impeccable & amical. Demandez José, le meilleur :)
Pour quelqu'un qui n'est pas allé, c'est le temps! Vraiment bon & les prix sont abordables. Bientôt des Mariachi vont être là, en septembre & la fête des morts aussi! J'y retournerai !
