Visiting from England. Stumbled across this place. Found the food to be extremely tasty & fresh. Particular highlights were the ribs, gyoza nachos & guacamole. Shrimp tacos also deserve a mention. Friendly service & a most enjoyable evening.

The server mentioned that they recently started allowing minors & he was happy to see my kids eating every bite. It helped that the food was tasty & the service was quick.

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.

I'd give this place 6⭐? if I could.
It was packed at lunch today. I sat at the bar as I was solo. I had a margarita & fish & steak tacos. Damn so good & tasty. Wish I could have had a couple more. I'll be back soon.

Very tasty food, but believe 2 tacos plate is a little too small.

Amazing experience as always! The portions could be small for some but I think they are perfect & more importantly very tasty. The service was incredible from the moment we walked in, & the bartender was a true standout. After I asked for a surprise drink, they took the time to craft the perfect cocktail. You can tell they really care about what they do. Highly recommend!

To start with, the drinks were phenomenal - Darlene is a master bartender & our specialty margaritas were so well balanced & tasty - truly some of the best margaritas we've ever had. Then we decided to be adventurous & try the tasting menu as the price was unbeatable. Every single course was delicious & we were so full but the food kept on coming. Really the perfect meal! We will be back next time we are in Montreal!
