uper belle expérience chez Escondite! L'ambiance est vraiment unique, parfaite pour passer une bonne soirée entre amis. Le service est rapide, attentionné & toujours avec le sourire.

Franchement, une adresse à découvrir & à revisiter sans hésiter!
J'ai adoré l'ambiance, les cocktails & la nourriture. La salade de mangue est un incontournable ainsi que le poulet Général Tao. Services chaleureux & rapide.
Le resto de la Rue Union est le meilleur Escondite.

J'y suis allée pour ma fête, nous étions 8 personnes avec le menu expérience. Tout était parfait ! Nourriture, service, ambiance & cocktails géniaux. Je recommande fortement ! 😊
The service was excellent, very attentive. As usual, the cocktails were on point, & the tacos & appetizers were delicious. We found the atmosphere warm & energetic, & our server was amazing. We had the guacamole, twice, & the baja fish, fried chicken, al pastor, & Korean beef tacos. It's hard to say which one was best.
Super restaurant Mexicain au Centre-ville. Bon cocktails, bonne nourriture & belle ambiance. Nous avons prit l'expérience Escondite & n'avons pas été déçue ... je vous recommande.

Escondite on Union has delicious tacos & a fun atmosphere. Staff are fantastic, quick service, great cocktails including a fab non-alcoholic mojito. Had the fish taco, Al Pastor & steak tacos. All great choices
Amazing experience as always! The portions could be small for some but I think they are perfect & more importantly very tasty. The service was incredible from the moment we walked in, & the bartender was a true standout. After I asked for a surprise drink, they took the time to craft the perfect cocktail. You can tell they really care about what they do. Highly recommend!
One of our favourite spots in Montreal! The service is always super friendly, the food is amazing, & the cocktails are on point. Love the cool vibe & decor too.
Idéal pour un dîner ou un souper en plein coeur du centre-ville. La terrasse, bien à l'ombre, offre un bel échappatoire à la chaleur du béton. Les cocktails sont incroyables & le service est impeccable. La nourriture est bonne,classique pour un restaurant mexicain.

Great Experience! The food & cocktails were great. We sat at the bar & met a fun & dynamic Bartender called Ariel who suggested some avory cocktails. Overall we've spent an amazing evening there! Will def go back.
Awesome!! We loved the cocktails, food was good, but the fish tacos a little bit spicy. Overall, everything was amazing!! We're coming back for sure!!!
Belle atmosphère au Escondite sur Union, même un mardi midi. Nous avons choisi le menu découverte (choix de la maison) & nous avons aimé tous les plats servis. Nous avons aussi goûté quelques cocktails très agréables & généreux. Le service est attentionné & courtois. Déinitivement un endroit à recommander si vous êtes au centre-ville pour une raison ou une autre.
Ce n'était pas la première visite, & ce ne sera pas la dernière non plus. Merci à toute
Wow! Amazing food & service. Went there for a birthday celebration with a group of friends, we shared many plates including tacos & other things. Prices are surprisingly good considering the quality. I would definitely recommend. Great selection of cocktail & mocktail as well!
