Belle atmosphère au Escondite sur Union, même un mardi midi. Nous avons choisi le menu découverte (choix de la maison) & nous avons aimé tous les plats servis. Nous avons aussi goûté quelques cocktails très agréables & généreux. Le service est attentionné & courtois. Déinitivement un endroit à recommander si vous êtes au centre-ville pour une raison ou une autre.
Ce n'était pas la première visite, & ce ne sera pas la dernière non plus. Merci à toute

Food was ok but nothing really special! To me price to value was high! There was a loud music there & also so crowded! so if you are looking for a calm place it's not a good choice for you!

Expérience exquise, j'ai adoré mon expérience Escondite. C'est le meilleur virgin Ceasar que j'ai jamais bu! Les saveurs étaient magnifiques ! Les mets étaient excellents, j'ai vraiment hâte d'y retourner !

Une décision de dernière minute en passant devant l'établissement. Quelle bonne idée nous avons eue de s'y arrêter. En plus de savoureux plats mexicains avec une touche asiatique nous avons la chance d'être servis par l'excellente Shana. Allez y vous vous sentirez en vacances!
