Endroit très agréable pour déguster un cocktail entre amis. Il y a aussi une terrasse. Pas nécessairement le meilleur taco au monde mais l'ambiance & le service en valent la peine.

Superbe repas, nous avons pris le menu dégustation que nous vous recommandons vivement. Nous organisons très souvent nos soupers de filles à ce restaurant & c'est toujours un succès! Un bravo particulier ce soir à Claire, notre serveuse qui a pris le temps de nous décrire chaque service avec un grand sourire!

The team at Escondite are friendly, fun, & very welcoming. The food is absolutely excellent & comes out very quickly. I took some food & drink recommendations from staff member Ariel who absolutely steered me in the right direction - try the tuna tostadas! 10/10 would go back & definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great Mexican meal in downtown Montreal.
