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.

Wonderful experience at Escondite Wellington. We were greeted warmly as we entered & the staff were very friendly & profesional with us. The food was amazing & the tacos were huge! I'm really satisfied with our experience as a group of 9, we were accommodated nicely. Thank you again to the staff & 5/5 would recommend.

This place is usually full in the evenings with great drinks decor & ambiance & their beautiful terrace in the summer. But people dont seem to know that they are also opened for breakfast /brunch. I just can not get enough of their chilaquiles verde & my boyfriend love their enchiladas gratinadas. The prices are super affordable. My big plate of chilaquiles was 13.95$. Seriously, come & try it out. It would be so sad if they stopped doing brunch.

Parmi les meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangé! Les crevettes cuites à la perfection 💯😋 Cependant, leur recette de bloody Cesar était un peu trop amère à mon goût. Je recommande je me suis toujours régalé lorsque je suis allé!

Verdun is the best place to visit in the summer & this beautiful place is one of the upsides on Wellington street. The atmosphere is great, also the service & the food. I love that their menu is not just traditional regular Mexican food, but they add originality & uniqueness to it, like matcha cream? Or some Japanese style on another options. You can see that is a beautiful & unique place.
