Escondite is widely celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative Mexican-fusion menu, and consistently high-quality cocktails, particularly its popular margaritas. Many diners highlight the exceptional service, describing the staff as welcoming, attentive, and professional, which significantly enhances the overall dining experience. While the majority of guests rave about the fresh, flavorful tacos and popular tasting menus, a few patrons expressed disappointment regarding portion sizes, noting that some dishes can be pricey for the quantity provided. Despite occasional reports of slow service during peak hours, the majority of visitors leave with a very positive impression, frequently praising the beautiful decor and the restaurant's ability to create a fun, memorable environment that encourages repeat visits.
Tuna crudo on tostada had an overwhelming sour taste, no subtle fresh flavour. Churros, on the other hand, were delicious if a bit pricey for the amount served.
Première visite dans cet établissement sur la suggestion d'un ami. C'est en plein centre-ville & c'est aussi un bar. Le service est attentionné, efficace. Pour les entrées, on a choisit le ensalada de mangos & le Jamaica cevice, c'était délicieux, frais, bon mélange des textures. En plats principaux, tacos pollos hermanos & all pastor. Encore une fois, on a sentit la fraicheur des ingrédients & c'etait très bon. Pour finir, Key lime, la creme de citron etait bonne, la mousse de coco un peu trop généreuse à mon goût. Il va falloir y retourner pour aller tester les autres plats.

Super bonne bouffe & service au top, je vous conseille le menu avec un mix de leur meilleur assiettes c'était débile ! Les cocktails en revanche ne sont vraiment pas bon & mérite d'être améliore
Très belle soirée sur la terrasse sur rue ce soir. Tacos tous plus goûteux les uns que les autres. & excellente guacamole. C'était une première mais certainement pas une dernière fois.
Excellent across the board! The food & drinks were on point, great vibe & atmosphere, & our waitress Catherine paid attention to every detail to ensure our experience was a memorable one. We will be back soon!
Loved the experience! We took the open tasting thing ... it was amazing 🤩 that way u do not need to choose anything just relax & let them send u there best food! Enjoy it
Amazing place. Innovative & welcoming & flexible. Everything we requested we got. We were blown away. The drinks were perfectly balanced (& we take our margaritas very seriously & rarely like a restaurant margarita in Canada). We had Catherine our server commend the bartender! All the food was fantastic especially the cauliflower general tao, the dumpling nachos were tasty & fun, the cauliflower tacos & the fried chicken tacos were amazing. Best of all was Catherine. Her attention to detail, positive & fun attitude, all while she was juggling many tables, ability to explain everything & keep water & drinks flowing, all without lingering & managing many other tables, was brilliant. From the moment we arrived at the restaurant to the moment we left, we felt welcomed, cared for, & appreciated. It was a fantastic experience all the way around.
The food was good, except a little bit salty. The service was very very good, the waitress was very friendly, the atmosphere was nice, overall good experience there.
