Review Summary

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.

EXCELLENT!!!

Je suis allée à 2 reprises au Escondite &, à chaque fois, la nourriture était exquise & le service impeccable. Un must = les quesadillas & les tacos (celui au poisson & celui vegé). Incroyable!!!

j ai beaucoup aimé. nous sommes venus a 4 personnes pour souper vendredi soir.
belle decouverte. Montreal a finalement un cheval de bataille de taille pour ce qui en est de la cuisine mexicaine,

un menu actuel, traditionnel & actualisé aux tendances d'ajourdhuit! c'etait delicieux.
les ailes de poulet a l'erable & au chipotle, le taco au smoked meat ainsi que la quesadilla a la truffe noire.nous n'avons pas essayé les cocktails. je garde ca pour une prochaine fois.

belle atmosphere & bon service. pas chere en plus!
je recommende fortement.

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.

Absolutely delicious ,was there last night the decor is really unique ,it feels like your really in Mexico .
The food & drinks were very tasty & really original, the home runs were there smoke meat taco ,the quesidillas ,the bajo taco(black cod),& the shrimp ceviche was delishe, they have a very interesting cocktail list , i definitely suggest you have a one of those.Whats also good is that there situated walking distance from Quartier des spectacles so great place to have a bite before a show!

Will be back for sure!!
