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.

This restaurant offers authentic Mexican food, though the portions are small & more suited as snacks. While the focus is on drinks, the atmosphere is pleasant. It would benefit from adding some homemade chili sauces. Overall, it's not expensive.

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.
