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.

Their idea of fusion is an almost complete dish but there always seems to have something missing or the mixture of flavors end up not entirely ideal. Overall not bad just not what I thought I was getting there.

First time trying the new spot an Wellington in Verdun. Love the decor & ambiance.
The food was delicious but almost $93 for 12 small Tacos, 1 tiny cornbread & a coke is absolutely ridiculous!
No chips & salsa offered & you have to pay to try their hot sauces.

Très bien & bonne nourriture. Il y avait même des spectacles pour la fête de l’indépendance du Mexique la journée où nous sommes allés. Musique un peu forte & difficile de se parler mais sinon très bien!

Première visite pour moi au Escondite & j'ai adoré! On se croirait au Mexique dans ce décor & ambiance chaleureuse avec, en prime, un sublime spectacle de danse. La nourriture & les cocktails étaient vraiment délicieux & servis à la vitesse de l'éclair! Merci à Jose, notre sympathique serveur, pour son service extraordinaire! :)

L'ADN du Mexique à Montréal ! 100% recommandé

Un local plein de couleurs & d’images qui vous transportent à l’essence de la culture mexicaine.
Un service impeccable.
Un menu bien pensé pour que les convives puissent se régaler en essayant différentes options.
Lors de cette visite, j’ai goûté les tacos, les toasts, les guacamoles & les cocktails. Absolument délicieux.
Sans aucun doute j'y retournerai !
