A packed spot often means 👌for one reason or another.
This place is all the reasons: atmosphere is awesome, decor is amazing, the vibe is pure enjoyment.
The service is quick, friendly & non-intrusive & that is a fine line to balance.
The food is why you'll come back, over & over again. FYI: the pollos hermanos tacos & the El Chapiflor are 🫠

I had such a great experience at Escondite Union, & a big part of that was thanks to Rita. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, & genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down.

Even though she seemed quite busy, she never let it affect the quality of her service. She really knows what she's talking about her recommendations were spot on, & you can tell she takes pride in her work. She checked in at just the right times without ever feeling intrusive, & her positive attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

It's not often you come across service that stands out this much but she truly made our visit memorable. I'll definitely be coming back, & I hope to be served by her again

We had a great experience at Escandite Union. Tried a mix of tacos including the al pastor, chicken, shrimp, plus the Baja 2.0 & a mushroom taco…everything was on point. Flavors were fresh, well-balanced, & clearly made with care.
We also had guacamole with chips, cornbread, & a couple of margaritas…no complaints across the board. Everything came out quickly & tasted great.
What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Friendly, attentive staff who made the whole experience easy & enjoyable.
Good eats, great service…definitely worth a stop if you're in Montreal.

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.

Je suis passé prendre des tacos à emporter car j'étais en jetlag & ne voulais pas rester longtemps au restaurant.
Les serveurs ont été très sympas, m'ont servi un verre d'eau pendant l'attente & m'ont conseillé sur la commande.
Les tacos étaient excellents, pas très gros mais j'étais prévenu.
