Encore une fois, expérience au top chez Escondite! Tout est toujours à la hauteur: l'ambiance, le service & la qualité des plats. On sent une constance dans l'exécution, ce qui est rare. Chaque visite est aussi agréable que la précédente. C'est clairement une place où tu sais que tu vas bien manger & passer un bon moment sans te poser de questions. Fortement recommandé!

We were looking for tasty Mexican & came across Escondite. We reviewed the menu before going & couldn't wait to go. Seating was quick & easy when we got there. The atmosphere was perfect for a nice quiet dinner. The manager, Yona, was accommodating, attentive & helpful. Recommendations were offered when asked, but not pushed on us. We had the Ensalada de Mangos, E'steak Koreano & Nepal, & the Tacos Birria, & two Patron Margaritas. Our meal was excellent. I would highly recommend Escondite Union to anyone visiting downtown Montréal. Thanks for a great meal.

Ordering beer is a scam, charging for $23 for 2 regular size pint stating it as XX. No sauces with the tacos as an authentic Mexican dish…it's such a rip off. Won't go again. Food was overrated. Not recommended at all.
