Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in downtown Montreal steps away from le Quartier des Spectacles, that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
Reviews consistently celebrate Escondite for bold, fresh Mexican fusion with a wide range of tacos and tapas, creative dishes, and a vibrant, warm atmosphere; the service is frequently praised as friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, with staff recommendations and accommodating bartenders, though a few notes mention slower pacing during busy times or minor missteps; cocktails and non alcoholic options are loved, with standout margaritas and bright flavors; many diners consider the prices reasonable for the quality, though some find certain items a bit pricey or portions on the smaller side; the experience, including the tasting menu and bar seating, is described as memorable and worth returning to, making Escondite a top choice in downtown Montreal.
The food was delicious, & the atmosphere was nice. However, we had to wait much longer than expected for everything. The staff were friendly, & I would recommend making a reservation in advance.
Le menu en ligne du midi ne correspond pas à la carte. Aussi si vous y allez pour quelque chose de spécifique, vous pouvez être déçus! (Tacos birria non disponible à cette succursale le midi même s'il est sur le menu midi en ligne, & non c'est pas possible de les faire….)
Great tacos & margaritas, & excellent service! Will come back to explore the rest of the menu, but from what we had & saw this is a perfect blend of Mexican & a twist of Oriental fusion....
Had a great experience seated at bar during lunch hour. Yona provided excellent service & was friendly amd generous with his margaritas & Mezcal. Tacos were superb. Highly recommend!

Very unique & vibrant atmosphere... They were extremely busy but the wait staff was very efficient at hustling the orders & delivering the best service they could... Will definitely be returning... Thoroughly enjoyable
très bel endroit en plein centre-ville, & bien situé car la rue est moins achalandée. Endroit bien décoré avec un service professionnel & sympathique. merci pour les tacos & la salade de mangue!
Honestly this is the best tacos we have had, it's become a tradition for us to come & have the tacos, because that's just how good everything is, & the service is amazing.
