Went here tonight alone, because I was very sad. Both bartenders Mathis & Nick, especially Mathis, were both very nice & helpful. Great service & drinks.
Definitely the best place I've been to in Montreal.

If you're in the Old Port of Montreal & craving some fun, vibrant Mexican food with a creative twist, Escondite Vieux-Port is definitely worth checking out.
We stumbled upon this spot while wandering the cobblestone streets & were drawn in by the playful vibe, colorful decor, & upbeat music. The interior is eclectic & cozy, with Day of the Dead artwork, quirky details, & a lively but chill ambiance that makes it feel like a hidden gem.
Now to the food - overall, it was very good, with a few standout hits & a couple of misses depending on your palate. The tacos are the star of the show. We tried a variety (the Gobernador, Pollo Frito, & Camaron), & each one had its own distinct flavor & presentation. The shrimp tacos were my personal favorite - crispy, fresh, & packed with flavor.
The guacamole & chips were solid - not mind-blowing, but fresh & satisfying. We also ordered the queso fundido, which was ooey-gooey indulgence, especially when paired with the chips. The Mexican street corn (elotes) was delicious & charred just right.
Drinks-wise, the cocktail menu is creative, & the margaritas are well-balanced with a little flair. Great spot for a round of drinks with friends or a date night.
Service was friendly but could've been a bit more attentive. It got busy during peak hours, so there were some small delays in checking in & getting the bill, but nothing major.
Prices are fair for the area, especially given the quality & portion size. Definitely on the trendier side, but not overly pretentious.
All in all, Escondite Vieux-Port is a fun & flavorful stop in Old Montreal - a cool vibe, bold flavors, & a solid addition to the Montreal taco scene. Would definitely return to try more of the menu!View more

Moi & ma conjointe hier nous nous sommes arrêtés, & que dire des tacos. C'était vraiment délicieux, c'est de loin les meilleurs tacos que j'ai mangés de ma vie! Ambiance très calme & paisible à côté du vieux port & le service était impeccable 👌. Je le recommande vraiment & nous allons y retourner c'est sûr & certain. 🙂View more

The restaurant is very nice on the inside & our server Diego was incredibly helpful & kind. He was the only good thing about this experience. The taco portions were ridiculously small (however small you think, make it smaller), all the food tasted frozen & was not fresh. Thank you so much Diego for the exceptional service & being so kind despite the awful food. If you are reading this, turn around before it's too late.View more

Food is excellent, BUT you only get a little food for a very expensive price. We also felt extremely rushed, as they gave us all our food (appetizer & entrees) at once, & gave us our drinks (which we ordered at the same time) after our food arrived. Waiter also began taking our plates away before we were finished, & rushed to give us our bill once we finished our food (we still had most of our drinks to finish). It's a nice atmosphere for the Old Port, but you have the trade off of an expensive meal for little food, & being rushed out of there.View more

I wouldn't recommend this place. My wife & I waited for almost 30min to get an order of tacos & tostadas. I don't know if they went to fetch Chicken, took so so long. Also, it's very expensive for the qty they serve.View more

Very underwhelmed. Food was very mediocre, very dry, lacked flavour.
Servers were not rude, but they really didn't care much about us. Never checked on us.
Will not be returningView more

We had a great experience, & mostly thanks to our waiter, Diego. He was attentive, warm, & had perfect timing, making us feel taken care of without ever hovering. His food suggestions were spot-on. The excellent service made an already delicious dinner even better.View more

Sophia behind the bar is very knowledgeable & provides excellent & friendly service! If you have a penchant for tequilas, then this is the perfect place for you. Escondite is an inviting oasis amidst a sea of other pretentious restaurants. We'll be back!View more
