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.

Magnifique restaurant, belle ambiance, musique agréable & pas trop forte.
Le personnel est charmant, à l'écoute. La serveuse à pris le temps d'aller voir les ingrédients en cuisine pour confirmer que mon conjoint pouvais prendre le dessert (du à des allergies).
La nourriture est DÉBILE! À quatre personnes, prendre le menu dégustation est absolument parfait, on peut goûter à tout. Difficile de respecter les limites de son estomac, tout est si bon!

Escondite? ESCANDALE

We recently went to the Wellington (Verdun) location as a group to celebrate a birthday.

After we sat down on this warm summer evening & were given 1 water bottle for the table, our water was never refilled over the course of 2 1/2 hours.!

The place is loud. Very Loud. The music is loud & the people shouting at each other in order to converse over the loud music are even louder.

My appetizer Mango Salad was THE BEST I have ever eaten.

My main course of Tacos, never arrived by an hour & 45 minutes after having ordered it. I left, hungry, disappointed, & vowing to never come back.

Portion size is a bit small. Tacos lacking plate appeal, all stacked onto a small plate. Food lacks seasoning.

Stumbled upon this groovy taqueria while strolling down Wellington Street in Verdun. The gyoza nacho was AMAZING. & the corn bread & Miss Paloma were yummy too. Good vegetarian options.

Les plats étaient corrects ( mention honorable aux tacos) , mais le service, nonchalant & un peu erratique. Nous mettrons cela sur l'horaire d'un vendredi soir . Mais le gros problème est l'horrible musique reggaton beaucoup trop forte. Mais nous lui laisserons une autre chance pour le brunch.

Très bruyant à l'intérieur, pas super confortable sur la terrasse. Les portions sont miniatures pour le prix & le goût n'est pas fameux.
