We had a wonderful time last night. Yona, who served us, was stellar & his recommendation, attention & conversation definitely made our night. It was an absolutely delight to dine & have some drink there. Food was amazing but Yona killed it for us !

Parfait pour souper avant un événement au Centre Bell. Super bonne bouffe. Il faut réserver. Certaines tables avec des chaises très inconfortables (chaises de métal).

Too expensive! We ordered three tacos, a guac & two lemonades paid over $80.
The food was ok but not much more than that.

Ordering beer is a scam, charging for $23 for 2 regular size pint stating it as XX. No sauces with the tacos as an authentic Mexican dish…it's such a rip off. Won't go again. Food was overrated. Not recommended at all.

Première fois au Escondite à Montréal, étant habituée à celui de Repentigny. Le repas était absolument délicieux & à s'en lècher les doigts! N'hésitez pas à prendre le trio de sauce pour accompagner les tacos, ça donne un bon kick savoureux! Nous étions assis au bar & nous avons eu un service impeccable avec les barman très attentionné !! Très belle soirée arrosée !
