Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in downtown Montreal steps away from le Quartier des Spectacles, that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
Overall, reviews depict Escondite as a lively, welcoming Mexican spot with great décor, a warm atmosphere and a strong drinks program that pairs well with a broad menu of tacos, tapas and shared plates. Tacos are frequently highlighted as excellent, especially lamb birria, al pastor and Baja fish, with guacamole, mango salad and churros also praised, though a few dishes are called out as small or uneven. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, with staff offering good recommendations, while occasional notes mention slower pacing or a two-hour reservation limit that can feel rushed. The ambiance is described as vibrant and authentic, making it a good choice for groups and celebrations, and many guests say the experience justifies returning for the tasting menu or a repeat visit. Some mention price or portion size as a trade-off, but most agree the quality, variety and atmosphere make Escondite a standout option in town.
Service très décevant. Alors que nous étions un groupe nombreux, on nous a chargé 8,90$ par shooter sans nous prévenir du prix. Au moment de la facture, on me dit que j'aurais dû commander la bouteille, que ça aurais été moins cher. Aucun accommodement n'a été possible.

Loved our time at Escondite. Catherine's service was amazing! She was super friendly & professional. We loved the guacamole & steak tacos. We'll definitely be coming back!
Meilleure place pour manger à Montréal, Vicky est la meilleure serveuse toujours à l'écoute de ses clients, souriante & de vinne humeur!! Cest certain que je reviens & que je demande d'être servi:)
Pretty underwhelming experience. The reviews were glowing! But the service was atrocious & they weren't understaffed or slammed by any means, wgucg . The waitress was abrupt (borderline rude) & a very average wait staff, that kept forgetting things. The food came out before our drinks did (20+ minutes for a simple scotch & soda, asked about it 3 times), which was bizarre. Food wise was very ok (prefacing with we are vegetarian), not a lot of options, the quesadilla that my wife ordered was literally a tortilla with cheese inside & a couple mushrooms. I simply wouldn't recommend this place for vegetarians, there's just not enough to try.
Quelle belle découverte. Amateurs de cuisine mexicaine, c'est le spot au centre-ville. Savoureuse, créative & inspirée, la cuisine de rue mexicaine offerte à la table. C'est comme un coup de chaleur dans cette fin d'hiver.
J'ai voyagé au Mexique hors-resort. Je dois dire que cet endroit dans l ensemble fut incroyable & que je me sentaits au Mexique Le service est tellement rapide, mais surtout l attention spéciale du staff nous fait sentir incroyable. Shoutout à Kike qui fair sentir chaque personne comme un roi ou une reine! Je vais parler d ici à ma famille & mes amis & ce ne sera pas la dernière fois! Encantado Escondite Union!
