Reviews portray Escondite as a lively taqueria with bright decor and a warm, festive vibe that shifts from relaxed to buzzing depending on the night. The food draws praise for bold flavors and fresh ingredients, with the tasting menu and standout tacos earning frequent compliments, while portions are often described as small and prices high for the size. Service is usually friendly and attentive, though opinions split on speed and consistency during busy periods. The atmosphere on the terrace is delightful when weather and street life cooperate, while the interior can be loud with music and crowds. Occasional notes mention fine touches for celebrations and some guests feeling charged for extras on the bill, underscoring a wish for clearer pricing. Overall, Escondite comes across as a tasty, vibrant spot with a memorable vibe, delivering strong experiences on some visits and more mixed ones on others.
Went for lunch a quick bite, but I'm guessing the night menu is better. Nice textures in modern Mexican tacos, & everything was nice. Will be visiting at dinner time to try out again.
Très bon tacos & super ambiance! Les employés sont supers sympathiques & rapides. Le Margarita est bon, mais un peu trop dilué dans les glaçons à mon goût.
Great food but the service was so slow. We had to go to counter to get attention at 8PM, almost empty. When it came time to pay...had to go to counter to ask if we could pay. I felt invisible. Left a bad taste in my mouth for the experience. Old Montreal venue was 100% better. I'm being generous with 4 stars.
Decor was nice & staff were friendly, but the food wasnt to our liking . The mexican general tao & the wings were described different in the menu but tasted exactly the same . Tacos werent good either .

One of my favorite Mexican food places, love the cool decor. Loved the mango salad. The cauliflower tacos are yummy 😋 michelada drink amazing 🤩 great service 🤠😁
La nourriture est délicieuse & pleine de saveurs. Bien que les portions puissent sembler petites au premier abord, elles sont suffisantes pour satisfaire notre appétit. Le service est courtois & l'ambiance est superbe.
First time visit on a whim. Not much of a greeting. Nice decor. Menu impossibly hard to read. Drinks & food slightly overpriced but good. Service was very sub par. They seemed very disorganized. Waited for much of our order. Was added two items we never ordered on our bill that we initially paid for. Got reimbursed. No sorry for the mistakes. Left full, but overall disappointed. If you want my loyalty, you need to do more to stand out...not gonna go back.
