Review Summary

Escondite delivers a bright, vibrant vibe with fresh, bold flavors across a wide range of Mexican tapas and standout cocktails. Margaritas and other drinks are frequently highlighted, and the guac, trio of salsas, and chips are often noted as must orders. The menu features inventive tacos, including fish, steak, chicken, and birria Koreano, along with ribs and other shareable plates. Portions tend to be tapas-sized, which works for tasting multiple items but can leave some guests wanting more, and a few reviews mention that value can feel off for the size. Service is typically friendly and attentive, with many praising helpful recommendations, though a few visits report slower pacing or crowded noise levels. The West Island location is repeatedly praised for its atmosphere and consistency, while some diners point out occasional issues such as mis-timed servings or ingredient omissions. Overall, the restaurant emerges as a popular, lively spot to enjoy creative Mexican fare with great drinks and a welcoming vibe, best experienced with friends and a spread of tapas rather than a single large plate.

Wonderful place ! Food is very good & Juan is the best even when he is alone. The guacamole with chips was very good.

Came here looking for a fun spot with a great vibe & Escondite totally delivered.
Huge shout-out to Anna - she was super friendly, asked the right questions, & nailed the cocktail & food recommendations. Everything was full of flavour. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great night! 👏🍹🌮

Ambiance générale très agréable.
Nous avons pris l'expérience à partager, nous avons eu assez de nourriture & avons pu goûter à plein de chose.
Si vous recherchez une cuisine mexicaine authentique ce n'est peut-être pas exactement ça, mais c'est original & très bien!!

Juan was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel genuinely welcomed with his warm & attentive approach. His suggestions were spot-on, & the service was impressively quick-from exquisite appetizers to beautifully prepared meals.

The quality of the food was nothing short of sensational. Combined with a great ambiance & excellent service throughout, it made for a memorable experience.

Salud to Juan once again-thank you so very much! 🍷✨

Escondite delivers on every level.

The food is truly spectacular, full of flavor & clearly made with care & creativity.

On top of that, the atmosphere is vibrant, energetic, & genuinely positive - it feels like a celebration the moment you walk in.

Perfect for a fun night out, great food, & even better vibes.

Highly recommend 😄

Last night i was extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered nachos & it was served with no tortilla chips but 5 dumplings with Mexican toppings. When i asked the waitress what was the reasoning for this she advised this restaurant is Asian fusion with Mexican. No where on the menu did it mention this or anywhere in the restaurant. Husband ordered 3 dips then when they were delivered to the table was advised if you want tortilla chips to go with the dip this will also cost extra. Not impressed & will needless to say will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Last note we had a 6 pm reservation & i called ahead to say we were running late at 5.30pm & if i could change our reservation to 6.15pm. Was advised sorry we only take reservations for every half hour therefore we could only have 6.30pm. No problem however when we arrived there were only 2 tables occupied, restaurant nearly empty. Again not impressed with the customer service. This was unnecessary. Totally understand if they were busy however no I know why the restaurant had barely any customers inside.

Good meal with my two young kids. The staff were friendly & the food excellent. Many different flavours & textures, which I love. This includes some creative interpretation of nachos & tacos which made it fun. Adult portions are on the smaller side, so if you're hungry, probably order two sets of two tacos (you can't mix & match). My only (very minor) complaint is that the dishes came very quickly, before we could even put a dent in the appetizers. Probably worth asking them to hold the mains until you're done if that's how you like to eat. Definitely recommend!

Escondite has become one of my all time favourite restaurants. I've tried almost every location & I have to say the West Island is the best! The service is always 10/10 like a few days ago I came to eat dinner with my friends & were served by Olivia, she was quick, attentive & frequently checked on us to make sure we had whatever we needed. Also not to mention a total sweetheart! It makes me sad that they're not as busy as they should be because the food & drinks are incredible! Come eat here & get a Margarita Medianoche, share a guac then grab the Esteak Koreano tacos, I promise you won't regret it!!

Escondite is so consistently fresh, delicious, & full of bold flavours! My friend & I are both from California & crave Cali-Mex & Escondite always hits! We always get the guac, trio of salsas, & their perfect chips. Some faves are their ribs (sweet, spicy, sticky, & fall off the bone), shrimp tacos, Baja tacos, & cilantro smash cocktails.

250$ for what's seen in attached picture, pactically theft. 8$ for a cornbread muffin & 10$ per taco? We picked this up down the street shortly after they opened on Sunday night & the tacos were dry. Unfathomable. Won't be ordering here again.

Honestly, given that we were the only group in the restaurant (it was a storm day so there was really no other customers there), the service was slow & they missed some of our orders - I also find the drinks Extremely expensive
