J'ai adoré cet endroit! J'ai été charmé par l'ambiance chaleureuse & le décor à l'allure vintage. Mes amis & moi avons partagé un menu de dégustation élaboré par notre serveur. Ce dernier était très sympathique & poli. Il nous a servi rapidement. La guacamole est l'une des meilleures que j'ai eu la chance de goûter! Les tacos au boeuf & au poulet ainsi que les quesadillas étaient délicieux eux aussi. Les prix sont très abordables. J'ai dépensé 20$, service inclus, & je suis sortie du restaurant avec le ventre bien remplie. J'ai très hâte de retourner chez Escondite pour déguster d'autres plats savoureux!

Was recommended to be by a friend & it way surpassed my expectations. Our party of 4 arrived on a Friday night with out reservations. We were greeted at the door & told it would about a 15 minute wait & was offered a spot at the Bar. The first thing you notice is the great décor. Not your cheesy Mexican joint, but a cool hip South-of-the-boarder vibe. At the bar we enjoyed some fantastic & unique cocktails (try the one with the chilli powder, can't remember the name). Within minutes our table was ready, we were seated & our wonderful server Alisha was ready to take our order.

The food choices are outstanding & vast. With it's tapas type menu it was fun to order food to share. The fish tacos, veg quesadillas & guacamole dip were outstanding, but personal favourite were the ribs (ordered a second plate just for myself)

Being to full for dessert we opted to move back to the bar, which was now fairly full & hopping, to enjoy some more cocktails.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening, with great food & excellent service & I cannot wait to go back for more.
