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.
Le menu en ligne du midi ne correspond pas à la carte. Aussi si vous y allez pour quelque chose de spécifique, vous pouvez être déçus! (Tacos birria non disponible à cette succursale le midi même s'il est sur le menu midi en ligne, & non c'est pas possible de les faire….)
Great tacos & margaritas, & excellent service! Will come back to explore the rest of the menu, but from what we had & saw this is a perfect blend of Mexican & a twist of Oriental fusion....

Had a great experience seated at bar during lunch hour. Yona provided excellent service & was friendly amd generous with his margaritas & Mezcal. Tacos were superb. Highly recommend!
Honestly this is the best tacos we have had, it's become a tradition for us to come & have the tacos, because that's just how good everything is, & the service is amazing.
Great food & great drinks, but truly the people are everything! Shana, Kike, Yona, Jenn, & Charlie were so kind, generous, & friendly. Great conversation, great banter. So welcoming & easy to chat with everyone there. I had a wonderful night because of them, & I had a hard time leaving. Thank you for making a regular Friday night so special

The food & drinks were great! The services was amazing. Kike made the best drinks. Shana was friendly & welcoming. Yana & Jenn & Charlie made us feel at home. Great evening - thank you for the great company!!!
My family had such a wonderful dinner experience here. We tried a mix of four different tacos, & every one of them was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the mango salad, along with the chips & guacamole, which were all fresh & flavourful. To finish off the meal, we had the churros with Nutella - such a perfect dessert! Our server, Yona, was incredibly friendly, attentive, & on top of everything throughout the evening. We'll definitely be back & would highly recommend this restaurant to others.
J'adore ce restaurant, la déco, la bouffe! Super soirée qui aurait pu s'éterniser.
C'est la troisième fois que j'y vais. Le menu découverte est ce que je préfère.
Always love coming to Escondite! The food is always delicious, the cocktails are amazing, & the vibe & music never disappoint. Yona was so lovely & provided such great service!
Nowhere else I'd rather go for tacos & margartias while in Montreal. My office is just up the street, so whether it's popping in for a quick lunch bite with a cheeky margarita or coming here with a big group of friends, the food, culture, vibes & staff are so lovely!! Yona, the bartender, even gave me a complimentary tequila shot because i had to go back to work! Highly recommend.
