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.

Super découverte! Le serveur était discret mais présent avec une grande ouverture aux remarques & avis. Nous avons essayé le menu expérience & avons beaucoup aimé: rapport quantité, qualité, prix beaucoup plus satisfaisant qu'un autre resto mexicain de Wellington. Je trouve cependant que c'est plus un restaurant fusion que exclusivement mexicain. Mais c'est très bon quand même.

The portions were miniscule. Four tiny tacos cost over $30 & the service was sub par.

The birria taco was the highlight of the meal for me. Really delicious.
However, other tacos were dry.
I also loved the corn bread. I just wish they were more generous with the butter :P

Pretty good taco restaurant. Ordered tacos Al Pastor. It comes with two tacos which is not enough for a meal. So I had to order 2 portions to get 4 tacos. So the portions are small, & it can get pretty expensive. The tacos & one Diet Coke came out to ~38$ (before tip). The tacos were very tasty & enjoyable. Service was a little slow but everyone was very nice. The atmosphere on the terrace on Wellington street was fantastic. All things considered, solid Mexican restaurant.

J'ai trouvé ça un peu cher pour ce que c'est. De plus, il n'y a pas grand-chose qui est épicé.

We went for my brother in laws birthday & food was delicious. Food was served quickly once ordered. Staff was friendly & offered tailor orders for us & were patient with the younger kids in our group.

The food & drinks are on the expensive side, however the experience was worth it. Wish portions were a tad bigger. Only negative point.

Really enjoyed the classic margaritas, guac, cornbread & shrimp tacos! 🌮 The cauliflower tacos were a little underwhelming, but they still went down fine. Amazing mural & so much colour in their decor. Friendly, funny staff too. 🙌
