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.

En vacances à Montréal, des amis nous ont fait découvrir Escondit. C'est un véritable délice pour les papilles. L'ambiance est superbe & le service est fantastique. Deux jours plus tard je pense encore aux délicieux plats & espère y retourner avant de rentrer en France.

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.
