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.
We went to the Escondite for the first time last monday. The food was pretty good, we got the tacos al pastor & baja tacos, amazing but a little pricey.
The best part about this place has to be the service, our server was Charlie. Great with recommendations, & has a great knowledge of both food & drinks. We had an amazing time with him. 100% will be going back
We had the pork, lamb, shrimp & fried chicken tacos. We love the lamb best with little spice. We also had the Gyazo Nacho (they are Gyazo but with Guacamole on it) & pork ribs. All the seasonings are perfect!! The person serving us was top notch, it was our first time there, the person recommended the portion which was very helpful! They even try to replicate a drink they don't have on the menu!
J'ai pris le drink du jour (je crois que c'était gin, aloès & melon d'eau) & il était doux & délicieux!
J'ai aussi commandé les tacos Al Pastor. C'était bien assaisonné & goûteux, j'ai adoré.
Toutefois, je veux surtout parler du service qui était impeccable. J'y suis allée seule & toute l'équipe a été adorable avec moi! Ma serveuse Amélie ainsi que son collègue se sont assurés que je ne manquais de rien tout au long de mon repas.
Merci! Je le recommande!

Gorgeous interior, the tacos are good but very overpriced for the portion (the picture is 3 orders + mango salad). Mango salad was pretty good. Service got very slow at some point & we had to ask for our bill twice & wait a long time.
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!
