We went to the Escondite for the first time last monday. The food was pretty good, we got the tacos al pastor & baja tacos, amazing but a little pricey.
The best part about this place has to be the service, our server was Charlie. Great with recommendations, & has a great knowledge of both food & drinks. We had an amazing time with him. 100% will be going back

A hidden gem in Montreal! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the small, beautifully decorated space & the wonderful atmosphere. The music, a nostalgic mix of boleros, brought back cherished memories of my grandmother. The service, led by our attentive host & restaurant manager Jona, was impeccable & every detail was carefully considered. We ordered the tasting menu, & the food was simply spectacular-each bite was a treat! The margarita was the best I've had in years, delicately prepared & perfectly balanced. Our experience there culminated in a warm conversation with Jona, whose passion for the place was infectious. Honestly, if you're in Montreal & love Mexican fusion food, you have to go here. It's more than a meal; it's a memory. We'll definitely be back!

We had the pork, lamb, shrimp & fried chicken tacos. We love the lamb best with little spice. We also had the Gyazo Nacho (they are Gyazo but with Guacamole on it) & pork ribs. All the seasonings are perfect!! The person serving us was top notch, it was our first time there, the person recommended the portion which was very helpful! They even try to replicate a drink they don't have on the menu!

This place was by our hotel off Philips square & we loved the menu & bright flags outside all the gray buildings. Fun decor, immediate availability, friendly, trilingual staff, & high-quality fusion food. Great experience, especially when my husband left early with our child whose patience was waning after a long day, although the server did everything right to give him & us a great experience. People who cater to adults but are understanding of children always get my business! Try it out- fun atmosphere, yummy food with fun twists, & nice people!

Not just the best Mexican food spot in downtown, but the bestest, friendliest staff & service ever. Amelie was our server & she was amazing at introducing the menu & making us feel like pals :)

Birria tacos are excellent & the Margarita Medianoche 👌

J'ai pris le drink du jour (je crois que c'était gin, aloès & melon d'eau) & il était doux & délicieux!
J'ai aussi commandé les tacos Al Pastor. C'était bien assaisonné & goûteux, j'ai adoré.
Toutefois, je veux surtout parler du service qui était impeccable. J'y suis allée seule & toute l'équipe a été adorable avec moi! Ma serveuse Amélie ainsi que son collègue se sont assurés que je ne manquais de rien tout au long de mon repas.
Merci! Je le recommande!

Idéal pour un dîner ou un souper en plein coeur du centre-ville. La terrasse, bien à l'ombre, offre un bel échappatoire à la chaleur du béton. Les cocktails sont incroyables & le service est impeccable. La nourriture est bonne,classique pour un restaurant mexicain.
