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.
Overall, reviews depict Escondite as a lively, welcoming Mexican spot with great décor, a warm atmosphere and a strong drinks program that pairs well with a broad menu of tacos, tapas and shared plates. Tacos are frequently highlighted as excellent, especially lamb birria, al pastor and Baja fish, with guacamole, mango salad and churros also praised, though a few dishes are called out as small or uneven. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, with staff offering good recommendations, while occasional notes mention slower pacing or a two-hour reservation limit that can feel rushed. The ambiance is described as vibrant and authentic, making it a good choice for groups and celebrations, and many guests say the experience justifies returning for the tasting menu or a repeat visit. Some mention price or portion size as a trade-off, but most agree the quality, variety and atmosphere make Escondite a standout option in town.
Really tastes good, great value for a fun night out. Our server Yona was excellent & made fantastic suggestions. Our favorites are the Tuna Tostada & Baja taco.
We just LOVED the food. It was so good. The gyoza nacho is a must try. Cornbread was warm & cozy. The vegan taco maybe ok but the cod & chicken more than make up for it in terms of flavor. We really enjoyed the service. They were cordial & very pleasant.

The food here was delicious & the service was impeccable. I would suggest that everyone visit this location. I came during my trip to Montreal this weekend & I will definitely return the next time I visit.I had the steak tacos & they were delectable.
One of the best spots for Mexican cuisine in Montreal! I enjoyed tacos filled with chicken & others with meat, & the quesadillas with mushrooms & cheese were great. The atmosphere is inviting, making it a cozy place to dine. Highly recommended for Mecican food lovers . You can take a nice walk in downtown once you finish
Première expérience, super ambiance, personnel sympathique & de bon conseil pour le choix du menu. Les tacos sont savoureux & judicieusement relevés. La barman avait beaucoup de style pour préparer les cocktails.

The spicy mango salad, mushroom & cheese quesadillas, & churros were incredible. Only disappointment was the tacos, not up to par with other authentic Mexican restaurants.

J'aurais du connaître ce restaurant plus tôt! L nourriture est vraiment bonne la guacamole épicé pour entré & les tacos W.O.W En plus du service très chaleureux de Darling. Je recommence fortement!
I have been here countless times since I opened up a business a few doors down a year ago. Escondite is one of the last bastions of quality food at affordable prices downtown. Add in excellent service, great atmosphere, & a nice terrace. What more can you want? Yona in particular stands out. He goes the extra mile every time - management take note! My favourites are the tuna tostada & the fish tacos. The mango salad is also really nice.
Great atmosphere. Foods good but I found some of the tacos on the salty side. A few of us did the tasting menu & it was fairly slow to get each item after the next. Not an issue for us, but I can how that might be frustrating for others. Over all, nice. Place with good food. I'd come back again.

Le meilleur restaurant Mexicain à Montréal! Les tacos sont super bons & les margaritas sont imbattables. Le staff est sympathique & attentionné. Il vaut mieux réserver si vous êtes plus que deux!
