Review Summary

Escondite is widely celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, creative Mexican-Asian fusion menu, and standout cocktails, particularly the margaritas. Many patrons praise the flavorful dishes like the gyoza nachos, various taco selections, and fresh guacamole, often highlighting the welcoming decor and pleasant terrace in the Old Port. While numerous visitors commend the attentive and friendly service provided by staff, some guests have expressed concerns regarding small portion sizes relative to the pricing, occasional service inconsistencies during busy periods, and a lack of flexibility with dietary accommodations. Despite mixed reviews on value and efficiency, the establishment remains a popular destination for those seeking a fun, lively social experience in a unique setting.

Franchement ça aurait pu être un cinq étoiles si je n'avais pas retrouvé une fourmi grillée sur mon tacos car le service est sympa, la terasse cool & la nourriture bonne.

El servicio estuvo ok. La comida MUY decepcionante. Los tacos birria, no sabían para nada a Birria. Parecía una salsa de pizza, horrible. No volveré. Cuando le dije al mesero, no dijo nada e ignoró por completo mi comentario.

I'm Mexican & today is my birthday. I couldn't have found a better place to celebrate. Karla greeted me very politely & her service was excellent, so polite & friendly. Then the tacos al pastor & alambre were delicious-kudos to the chef! & the michelada I ordered was very good. I'm delighted with the place; the food, the cleanliness, & the decor are excellent.

Très longue attente pour avoir une place , nous avons commander après un certain temps d'attente , un drink chacune & une assietes de tacos à partager , la nourriture on aurait pu se croire dans un resort cheap dans le sud , la viande pleine de gras & ordinaire c'était supposer être l'assiette tacos al pastor avec coriandre oignon & ananas & la viande , il y avait 2 morceau d'ananas en tout ..3-4 oignon .. aucune coriandre & la
Viande digne d'un tacos à Cuba ! Les drinks eux sont arriver à la fin du repas au même moment que nous étions rendu à la
Facture , la serveuse n'étais pas en mesure de répondre à aucune de nos questions sur le menu de nourriture ni alcool , service très lent , & nourriture ordinaire , nous n'y retournerons clairement pas!
