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.

I got a 2/1 taco al pasto- so I was expecting 2 plates for 2 people- one box for tacos. Pretty bummed out it s delicous but I was expecting a certain amount for the price & the advertising. Like normal price would be like 20$ for 2 tacos!!???

Very fast service, although the waiters made a mix up on the group orders (but was quickly fixed). They did a lil show for the birthday girl so 10/10 entertainment. 😭

Un grand 5 étoiles pour l'excellent (& surtout délicieux) moment que nous avons passé entre amis au Escondite de Verdun. La cuisine était excellente comme d'habitude, & le service particulièrement chaleureux. Mention spéciale à Eric pour son amabilité & son attention à notre égard. Je recommande vivement !

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.
