Expérience exceptionnelle au Escondite Union hier soir. Non seulement la nourriture fut délicieuse, mais le service était excellent. Nous célébrions un anniversaire entre amies & avons passé un très beau moment. Les cocktails étaient rafraîchissants & nous avons adoré les tacos. Je recommanderais particulièrement les tacos al pastor, qui étaient très savoureux. De plus, le restaurant est bien situé downtown, & est un « must » a essayer selon moi! Un grand merci à Claire & Katie pour leur chaleureux service. Nous seront certainement de retour.

The food was so delicious but I didn't realize until going there that it was a tapas style menu. It was fun to try so many different tacos, but it added up at the end. It's definitely worth it though, especially with a larger group or a smaller appetite !

La nourriture est très bonne. Mais le restaurant est impossible à joindre & leur messagerie pleine ! La dernière fois, pour modifier ma réservation, j'ai appelé une douzaine de fois, sans succès !
