Nous y sommes allés fêter un anniversaire & c'était parfait. Service iiiiincroyable de Shana qui a su choisir d'excellents plats pour le menu dégustation (je recommande si c'est votre première fois), les tacos aux crevettes étaient, de loin, les meilleurs que j'ai mangé & je vais au Mexique chaque année!

Excellente soirée, On y retournera sans hésiter!

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!

Escondite was amazing! 10/10 would definitely recommend! I am from NYC & we have some great restaurants & this place was better than a lot of places back home. Services was amazing atmosphere & vibe was like a restaurant in soho. The dish that stood out to me the most was the tuna tostada. The flavors were extremely well balanced, unlike any other tuna dish I've ever had. I probably could have had 3 of those & been happy. We tried almost every single taco on the menu & nothing was bad, The nachos were also amazing. My favorite was the Birria & the Pollo Hermonos. Cocktails extremely well balanced! The waitress told us we picked all the best tacos ha! Will definitely be visiting this establishment again next time I am in town!! Thank you so much
