Escondite earns praise for bold flavors and fresh ingredients, with a share-friendly menu that includes mango salad, corn bread, chicken General Chapo style, quesadillas, various tacos and churros; reservations are recommended on weekends or busy nights, and the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, well suited for groups and celebrations; service is frequently attentive and knowledgeable, though some visits report slower pacing, mixed-up orders, and staff stretched by the front of house; the food is described as high quality with good portion sizes for sharing, yet a few guests note prices are high for the portion size, and the space can be loud.
Première fois & nous ne sommes pas déçus. Avons choisi le menu dégustation. Tout un contrat pour la quantité. Tout était délicieux. Les tacos de poisson, wow.
On y retourne c'est sûr.
I left. When you ask about the Pork ribs & the answer is 4 pieces & no side for 26$. Sorry Baton Rouge comes better with the same price point. The drinks are way overpriced. For a glass full of ice that cost 40$ for 2 margaritas which I did buy. Went to birdhouse instead got a pitcher of sangria for 35$ & buttermilk chicken with sides for 23$. Not worth the money they asking for.

The fantastic team at Escondite DDO always take such great care of us. We enjoyed a savory meal with delightful flavors!!! I enjoyed a nice Draft Beer , Some Skinny & Spicy Margaritas as well!! Sam really cares about all his customers, he is welcoming & his Staff are also excellent!! We have NEVER, EVER been disappointed after 30 + times eating there!
The photos are old, we go often & I had taken these in 2020!!! LOVE IT!!! 💘 😻
I took 23 members of my Meetup group there for Cinco de Mayo. First time for most of us. Owner Sam made booking our large group seamless & was so helpful.
We did the set tapas menu & I was blown away - every dish came out hot, delicious, & full of flavour. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart who made sure we had everything we needed. I wish I'd gotten her name!
& here's the kicker: we could actually hear each other talk. That's rare for Mexican on a busy night.
We'll be back for sure to explore the à la carte menu. Bravo to Sam & the team - thank you for a memorable Cinco de Mayo!
Truly the most authentic Mexican food with a twist on the West Island! The tacos Birria are the best we've ever had, & the mushroom quesadilla is phenomenal! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Escondite to anyone!!!
Food was really good we ended up there for a kids birthday party & the kids eat free on Sunday which was a welcomed treat & they all loved the food as much as the adults. Service was excellent & the food is a Mexican fusion which was full of flavor. We had the ceviche & the tuna delicious. We finished with three varieties of tacos the birria (lamb) was unique & delicious the steak tacos were great. We will definitely be back without the kids this time as their cocktails looked amazing.
Honestly one of the best meals I've had in a long time! We ordered the tasting menu which was 45$ per person & all of the food was fantastic. So many delicious things to try, so much food & everything was so fresh & wonderful. Will definitely go back. The staff was lovely as well!

Great food, great service! Highly recommend the tasting menu for sharing. The plates kept coming out & each was tastier than the last. Get an assortment of dips too!
3rd Escondite location that I visit & the food & service were excellent. You should consider getting a reservation to come on weekends or busier nights. We were part of a group reservation & had a tasting menu that included Mango salad, corn bread, chicken General Chapo style, quesadillas, chicken & fish Tacos & churros for dessert. All were delicious. Our server, Olivia, was very attentive & helpful, just a pleasure to deal with.
Several dishes were ordered to share among our group as recommended by our server. All dishes were delicious 😋 The service was exceptional. Our server was very attentive & knowledgeable about the different dishes.
The food is excellent; great portion sizes for sharing! It's a very cool place, although it is a bit loud. Definitely my go to Mexican place in the West Island
Great service
Restaurant was cold (in temperature)
We had the sharing menu & everything was delicious except taco contents were too deep fried. But everything else was amazing.
