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.

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;-(

12$ for 2 mini tacos is INSANITY! I was extremely disappointed. We tried 5 different tacos & only 1 was good. The Baja was very yummy just on the spicy side. The Pollos Hermanos (fried chicken) was extremely dry. The Al Pastor had no sauce & so bland. The Camarones Y Queso (shrimp & cheese) made me extremely sick. Was not fresh, it tasted so bad. One bite & I was sick to my stomach. The Birria was meh. Not authentic whatsoever. Again very dry. Overall the food was bland & the portions were ridiculously small. I was with a big group, so we got to sit upstairs which was fun & private. The service was extremely slow. No one was cleaning up the tables. There were dirty plates everywhere & it was overwhelming. I get that we were a big group but the resto was dead so I don't get why the service was slow. Some people took the 45$ Escondite Experience (plates to share). They didn't even want to tell you what was included. They said "Trust us". Glad I didn't because it was not worth it & many were not impressed. EDIT: Their reply is completely false & it's a standard copy & paste.

Nous avons célébré un anniversaire en groupe dans ce restaurant & avons été ravis du début à la fin. Le service était impeccable, la nourriture authentique & délicieuse, & les cocktails étaient remarquablement élaborés. Notre serveur nous a recommandé un menu dégustation "choix du chef", & nous n'avons pas été déçus. Mon conjoint, qui a un très grand appétit, était comblé, & à deux, nous étions bien rassasiés. Cela vaut vraiment la peine, le prix est tout à fait juste pour la qualité & la quantité offertes. En plus de cela, l'ambiance & la musique étaient au top. Si vous cherchez un excellent restaurant mexicain avec une touche de fusion, une belle décoration & une atmosphère chaleureuse, je vous le recommande vivement. Le service est irréprochable, du moment où vous entrez jusqu'à celui où vous sortez.
