Review Summary

Escondite generally earns praise for its vibrant, authentic atmosphere and flavorful, fresh menu, with many diners highlighting the quality of the tacos, margaritas, and brunch options. While the tasting menus are frequently recommended for groups seeking to sample a variety of dishes, many patrons point out that individual portions can be quite small and pricey. Service experiences appear inconsistent; while several guests appreciate the friendly and attentive staff, others report significant delays, lapses in communication, or challenges with billing transparency. Despite mixed feedback regarding noise levels and value, the restaurant remains a popular destination for those seeking a festive environment and creative Mexican-fusion cuisine.

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.

Jose was the best server we could have possibly asked for! Super kind & helpful & recommended the fiesta on the table (the best the restaurant had to offer) & it really was fantastic. Would highly recommend everything, but the mango salad & ribs were to die for. Leche margarita was deadly. Churros were mind blowing. I want to come back for my birthday in January with all my friends & fam! ❤️

The taste of the food is good but it's not really Mexican flavour because it's missing the spicy. Ideally for people that cannot eat chili
