Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant situated in downtown Montreal steps away from le Quartier des Spectacles, that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted Tequila cocktails.
Overall, reviews depict Escondite as a lively, welcoming Mexican spot with great décor, a warm atmosphere and a strong drinks program that pairs well with a broad menu of tacos, tapas and shared plates. Tacos are frequently highlighted as excellent, especially lamb birria, al pastor and Baja fish, with guacamole, mango salad and churros also praised, though a few dishes are called out as small or uneven. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive, with staff offering good recommendations, while occasional notes mention slower pacing or a two-hour reservation limit that can feel rushed. The ambiance is described as vibrant and authentic, making it a good choice for groups and celebrations, and many guests say the experience justifies returning for the tasting menu or a repeat visit. Some mention price or portion size as a trade-off, but most agree the quality, variety and atmosphere make Escondite a standout option in town.
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.
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.

Gorgeous interior, the tacos are good but very overpriced for the portion (the picture is 3 orders + mango salad). Mango salad was pretty good. Service got very slow at some point & we had to ask for our bill twice & wait a long time.
Very nice servers.
Food was good.
The white sangria was good, but too much pineapple juice. Couldnt finish the pitcher because of that. Wpyld definitely be back!
