The tacos are one of the best I've eaten, but the cocktails & starters were ok. The service we had was average.

The spicy mango salad, mushroom & cheese quesadillas, & churros were incredible. Only disappointment was the tacos, not up to par with other authentic Mexican restaurants.

Escondite : Un restaurant mexicain exceptionnel J'ai régulièrement l'occasion de dîner à l'Escondite, un restaurant mexicain situé sur la rue Union à Montréal. Je suis toujours agréablement surpris par la qualité de la nourriture, l'ambiance &, surtout, le service exceptionnel des employés. Le menu propose une grande variété de plats mexicains, tous aussi délicieux les uns que les autres. J'aims.particulièrement les tacos au poisson & le poulet El.Chapo. Les portions sont adéquates & les prix sont raisonnables. L'ambiance du restaurant est très agréable. La décoration est géniale & est parfaite pour créer une atmosphère détendue. Le service des employés, ills sont tous très professionnels, souriants & attentifs à nos besoins. Le gérant en particulier est très présent & s'assure que tout se passe bien pour les clients. Il est ine des raisons de nos visites régulières! Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui cherchent un bon restaurant mexicain à Montréal. Points forts : * Nourriture délicieuse * Ambiance agréable * Service exceptionnel * Prix raisonnables Recommandations : * Réserver à l'avance, car le restaurant est souvent bondé. * Profitez de l'ambiance détendue & du service exceptionnel. Conclusion : L'Escondite est un restaurant mexicain exceptionnel qui offre une expérience culinaire unique. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant à tous ceux qui cherchent un bon restaurant mexicain à Montréal.
