Really enjoyed the classic margaritas, guac, cornbread & shrimp tacos! 🌮 The cauliflower tacos were a little underwhelming, but they still went down fine. Amazing mural & so much colour in their decor. Friendly, funny staff too. 🙌View more

Mais quelle belle surprise pour le brunch! Les quesadillas au fromage, champignons & truffe sont absolument incroyables. Mon copain a pris les enchiladas qui étaient aussi excellentes. Le tout accompagné d'une petite bière mexicaine & d'un margarita préparé à la perfection, c'était définitivement une belle découverte pour bruncher sur la Wellington! Nous connaissions déjà le Escondite pour ses tacos mais pas pour bruncher, nous reviendrons c'est certain. :)View more

C'est la première fois que je visitais ce resto avec ma fille. Nous avons adoré notre expérience. Nous étions sur la terrasse & la rue Wellington était piétonnière, donc c'était très calme. Nos drinks étaient très bons, ne goûtaient pas le chimique comme c'est parfois le cas ailleurs. Comme entrée, on a pris les nachos avec du fromage chaud à l'intérieur, c'était juste wow! Nos tacos étaient très bons, peut-être juste ceux au porc qui étaient un peu secs, mais on a ajouté un peu de la sauce qui était fournie dans l'assiette, & ça a été super correct. Nos préférés, ceux aux crevettes. :) On a oublié de nous fournir des ustensiles, & après, de nous donner des assiettes, ce pourquoi j'ai mis 4 étoiles & non 5 étoiles pour le service, mais les serveurs étaient super sympas. Nous comptons revenir parce que nous avons beaucoup aimé le resto & la nourriture.View more

Escondite? ESCANDALE
We recently went to the Wellington (Verdun) location as a group to celebrate a birthday.
After we sat down on this warm summer evening & were given 1 water bottle for the table, our water was never refilled over the course of 2 1/2 hours.!
The place is loud. Very Loud. The music is loud & the people shouting at each other in order to converse over the loud music are even louder.
My appetizer Mango Salad was THE BEST I have ever eaten.
My main course of Tacos, never arrived by an hour & 45 minutes after having ordered it. I left, hungry, disappointed, & vowing to never come back.View more

Portion size is a bit small. Tacos lacking plate appeal, all stacked onto a small plate. Food lacks seasoning.View more

Les plats étaient corrects ( mention honorable aux tacos) , mais le service, nonchalant & un peu erratique. Nous mettrons cela sur l'horaire d'un vendredi soir . Mais le gros problème est l'horrible musique reggaton beaucoup trop forte. Mais nous lui laisserons une autre chance pour le brunch.View more

Good friend brought us out of towners to Escondite for dinner on Friday night. Busy restaurant, so I'd make a reservation. Nice place with great food & they definitely don't skimp out on portions! We did 3 apps & 9 tacos (Baja, Camarones Shrimp & E'Steak Koreano). Absolutely stuffed! Great cocktails as well. Cool vibe with the art wall & decorations throughout!View more

Dinner for 2, the experience x2, with 2 cocktails & 1 jarritos soda. With taxes & tip $175... looking back & doing the calculation we were charged for the churros when we were told it was included in the experience.
5 of 6 tapas were great... the porc tacos the porc seemed mushy & not a desired texture, similar to the cod tacos the final course before dessert.
Churros were thick & short therefore creating undercooked batter in the middle. Dipping sauce was thick Nutella consistency so almost undippable. Thinner & longer churros would guarantee the inside is cooked properly. A more liquidity dippable sauce would be desirable.
Friendly service & nice atmosphere but at these prices it will be difficult to want to return regardless how tasty & nice the experience is.View more

It's a very well decorated Mexican restaurant. There are some good dishes , some others , not. It's expensive for the quantity of food served. As a Mexican I expect some good tacos no matter the size , but, it's not the experience for this place. Of I had to go again for some reunion, the best tacos are the shrimp ones & the birria ones.View more

Très déçue;-( j'adore Escondite au centre ville mais malheureusement je n'ai pas du tout retrouvé la qualité & la saveur des tacos & autres petits plats signés Escondite.View more

12$ for 2 mini tacos is INSANITY! I was extremely disappointed. We tried 5 different tacos & only 1 was good. The Baja was very yummy just on the spicy side. The Pollos Hermanos (fried chicken) was extremely dry. The Al Pastor had no sauce & so bland. The Camarones Y Queso (shrimp & cheese) made me extremely sick. Was not fresh, it tasted so bad. One bite & I was sick to my stomach. The Birria was meh. Not authentic whatsoever. Again very dry. Overall the food was bland & the portions were ridiculously small. I was with a big group, so we got to sit upstairs which was fun & private. The service was extremely slow. No one was cleaning up the tables. There were dirty plates everywhere & it was overwhelming. I get that we were a big group but the resto was dead so I don't get why the service was slow. Some people took the 45$ Escondite Experience (plates to share). They didn't even want to tell you what was included. They said "Trust us". Glad I didn't because it was not worth it & many were not impressed. EDIT: Their reply is completely false & it's a standard copy & paste.View more

Excellente soirée & souper. Belle variété de tacos à partager & des favoris différents pour toute la table. Cynthia, qui s'occupait de nous, super agréable & efficace!View more

J'adore aller à ce restaurant. La première fois, nous sommes allés à l'Escondite du vieux-Montréal & nous avons pris le menu dégustation. Nous avons été impressionnés par la qualité, la quantité & la variété de la nourriture. Nous avons eu un coup de coeur pour les entrées. Il faut dire que rendus aux tacos nous n'avions plus très faim. Nous sommes retournés à l'Escondite de Verdun pour prendre, cette fois-ci que des entrées. Nous en avons essayé de nouvelles & réellement tout était bon. Je recommande fortement cet endroit.View more

Wonderful experience at Escondite Wellington. We were greeted warmly as we entered & the staff were very friendly & profesional with us. The food was amazing & the tacos were huge! I'm really satisfied with our experience as a group of 9, we were accommodated nicely. Thank you again to the staff & 5/5 would recommend.View more

Es comida mexicana pero no solo son tacos tradicionales son tacos con nuevos sabores, es decir tienen los clásicos aficionados con toques de nuevos sabores que para mi gusto qur soy mexicano nobestan mal tienen buen sabor y algunos si están deliciosos pero si tienen el toque muy personal del restaurant, vale la pena ir, probarlos y estar abierto a nuevos saboresView more

Parmi les meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangé! Les crevettes cuites à la perfection 💯😋 Cependant, leur recette de bloody Cesar était un peu trop amère à mon goût. Je recommande je me suis toujours régalé lorsque je suis allé!View more

Went for lunch a quick bite, but I'm guessing the night menu is better. Nice textures in modern Mexican tacos, & everything was nice. Will be visiting at dinner time to try out again.View more

Good tacos but you need to order a few because they're very small. We also got churros & they were still a bit raw inside.View more

Très bon tacos & super ambiance! Les employés sont supers sympathiques & rapides. Le Margarita est bon, mais un peu trop dilué dans les glaçons à mon goût.View more

During the summer, wellington is walkable so there is a nice & quite terrasse to sit & enjoy the nice weather & be able to talk & share with friends, inside, the decoration is interesting & gives the sensation of cozyness. Food is very tasty with the blends of flavors that they do like the nopal & sirloin steak tacos, they have a variety of drinks/cocktails & the price matches the quality & amount of food. Recommended spot.View more
