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.

Super atmosphère, accueil & service sympathique, attentionné & convivial. Les cocktails sont très bons & la bouffe vraiment bonne : les meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangés... non seulement ils étaient préparés à la perfection, mais ils ont tous un petit "twist" les rendant exceptionnels !

Service client impeccable, les serveurs sont très gentils & très efficaces (sans toutefois presser la clientèle). Portion en apparence petite, mais c'est extrêmement nourrissant & le prix est très resonnable. Les plats sont très surprenants, mais dans le bon sens du terme, l'agencement des saveurs est rafraîchissant. J'y retournerais sans hésiter, les yeux fermés.
