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.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical before visiting as you are often disappointed when it comes to eating Mexican with restaurant chains .

Well, I was completely wrong.

The food was stunning , fresh , tasty.

It's a mix of original & fusion food very well adapted.

Hats off .

Will definitely come back.

It's a very well decorated Mexican restaurant. There are some good dishes , some others , not. It's expensive for the quantity of food served. As a Mexican I expect some good tacos no matter the size , but, it's not the experience for this place. Of I had to go again for some reunion, the best tacos are the shrimp ones & the birria ones.

Très déçue;-( je n'ai pas du tout retrouvé la qualité & les saveurs des autres Escondite que j'adore. L'ambiance est également décevante. Bonne note pour le service par contre. Malheureusement ce n'est pas suffisant pour me donner envie de revenir;-(
