Absolute highlight of my week in Montreal!
I ended up coming back to Escondite 3 times during my one-week trip because the food & atmosphere were just that good.
Every menu was great & especially the Baja 2.0 fish tacos are incredible-perfectly crispy & packed with flavour!! ★★★★★
Don't forget the Ensalada de Mangos as well! super refreshing, must-try!!
On top of the delicious food, every single member of the staff was unbelievably warm, friendly, & welcoming. They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert to finish off our meal!
If you are looking for amazing Mexican food & great vibes in Montreal, this place will never let you down. Highly recommended!
Great food & drinks in a beautiful setting. Especially loved the way we were treated by Eric, Jennifer, Darling, Shana, Jaden, & Yona . This is our goto Mexican place in Montreal now! Make a reservation because it's popular with families as well as businessmen. We liked it so much we went back the next day & were even more impressed. I enjoyed the Ceviche the first day. The second day we enjoyed the'Experience' where they select for you. It included black cherry ribs, Baja fish tacos, steak tacos, corn bread. I enjoyed the Cilantro Smash drink, whereas my partner loved the Patron Margarita. We loved the decor (see pictures)!
One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the city. Always a pleasure having Charlie around, great recommendations, great service, great food & drinks!
I didn't like the food. I ordered chilaquiles & the crunchy nachos were very greasy & very poor sauce no beef no chicken at all I have to return it back & change for another option. Tacos al pastor however it's still not a real mexican food & a bit expensive for the portions too.
Although the atmosphere & the waitress were very kind.
Great tacos & margaritas, & excellent service! Will come back to explore the rest of the menu, but from what we had & saw this is a perfect blend of Mexican & a twist of Oriental fusion....
The restaurant has great fusion Mexican vibes to it. The food tastes good but it could've been better, it's American Mexican, not traditional. The portions are really small, you really have to go with App, Salad, Tacos & Dessert to fill yourself.
We were looking for tasty Mexican & came across Escondite. We reviewed the menu before going & couldn't wait to go. Seating was quick & easy when we got there. The atmosphere was perfect for a nice quiet dinner. The manager, Yona, was accommodating, attentive & helpful. Recommendations were offered when asked, but not pushed on us. We had the Ensalada de Mangos, E'steak Koreano & Nepal, & the Tacos Birria, & two Patron Margaritas. Our meal was excellent. I would highly recommend Escondite Union to anyone visiting downtown Montréal. Thanks for a great meal.
