Escondite Cerveceria de Barrio is a Mexican restaurant that serves Mexican goodies and house crafted tequila cocktails.
Great experience. The food was excellent, the drinks were very good and our server Jessica was amazing. The staff really work as a team.
Had a really nice dinner tonight! Was served by Jess and was blown away with her fun and positive attitude and willingness to make our night a good one! She knew her menu well and made great recommendations. Super flexible and accommodating to work with my wife’s allergies. All the staff were smiling and looked happy. A great experience! Try it, you won’t be disappointed!!
Considering this was me on a random drive on my last night in town, what an awesome find! Very friendly atmosphere, amazing art, and delicious food. Both of the servers in there tonight were so kind and welcoming. I had one pick out a taco dish for me, and it ended up being my favourite!
Nice atmosphere. Tasty guacamole and tacos. Wasn't crazy about the fish cerviche. Didn't try the drinks.
This is the third Escondite I’ve dined at and I’ve had a great experience at all of them! I took my cousins here for the best tacos I’ve had in Montreal and they were both very happy with their food and drinks and would come again next time they visit! Our waitress was very nice, had great recommendations and even helped accommodate my gluten allergy. I highly recommend the cilantro smash, any of the mojitos and the cauliflower tacos 😋
I'm coming back to this place for sure! Everything was awesome. Staff were super helpful and very polite to deal with. They offered some very good recommendations. Everything we had was delicious. They have a slightly different spice range than traditional Mexican, which is a nice twist. They offer smaller plates so you can mix it up and try different things. I highly suggest checking this place out.
Great Mexican food, it’s full of flavor and the service is really fast. The atmosphere is great, there’s a band that plays at night and the employees are really nice and pleasant. Food is worth the price, portions are good. The place is filled with art and decorations that gives a good vibe and the music played is mostly Spanish so it makes the vibe even better. Lots and lots of free parking and it’s wheelchair accessible. The food is really good and the ingredients they use are fresh. Each meal is full of colors and it tastes wonderful. Overall great experience and I will come back.
My husband reserved a table for my birthday supper this past weekend and we had an excellent time. Food: everything tasted great, our favourites were the Baja tacos and the Gyoza nachos. Portions are small, so it can get pricey very quickly, however in my opinion given the freshness and quality of the food I am happy to pay. Service: I rarely say this now - fantastic service from start to finish. Waitress was friendly, very fast, and really wanted us to be happy. All other staff we interacted with were also fantastic. It is refreshing to go out to a place where service is a priority. Atmosphere: A smaller space but very well laid out and not too crowded. Decor was fun and music was great. As it was my birthday, the staff brought out a desert and everyone clapped their hands to Danze Kudro which was fun. Overall: I will definitely go back and would recommend to anyone wanting to have a good evening with great tasting food.
Good morning, Reservation for 7 people 7:45 p.m. Friday December 13 Escondite west island Really very very disappointed. Good food but I have to say the service was terrible. However, I had written when making my reservation that it was a staff party and to the waitress that we really wanted to SPOIL OUR STAFF but it was impossible to order 1 beer in less than an hour. NO ONE FOR US but not for the pretty ladies next to us. At midnight the owner kindly kicked us out despite our $900 bill and we were really nice and respectful. Its inconceivable, if we cant have a staff party for our Mexican employees at your restaurant, you simply had to contact me before the evening. never again
Excellent service from Kelly! Great ambience , warm welcome! Highly recommend
Great experience at this restaurant. The menu is tapas to share. Everything was delicious. The cornbread is soft and a little spicy with a jalapeño. The ceviche is tasty, more tomato based, a little sweet. The guacamole is good with a touch of lime. The steak tacos were quite spicy but it wasnt burning. The orange crush sauce gives it a kick. The mole tacos were also good. Good service and a very good meal. Vegetarian options: Vegetarian option on the menu Parking: Several places Kid-friendliness: Some choices for children on the menu
I love tacos!
The waitress was really so nice!
A little pricey for the amount of food but good place
Escondite is the best!
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at escondite. The food was excellent, very flavourful! The atmosphere and the decor were great, and the service was fantastic. We did not feel rushed at all, which helped make this a very nice experience. There are delicious options for vegetarians. Vegetarian options: I had the mango salad, the gyoza nachos and the cauliflower tacos. There also a vegan tacos that I didn t get the chance to try.
Amazing night! Great drinks! Service was AMAZING! Juan was the best!
After years of being able to walk here I finally stopped in to take our and all I can say is wow! Portions are small, but so tasty!
Had a great dinner last night!! Definitely try the guacamole, corn muffin and fish tacos!! The key lime dessert was also delicious! Jess was an amazing server! Will go back for sure!
Great Mexican Food and Atmosphere! If you love spicy like I do, go for the General Tao chicken! Food : 5/5
Our table had the tasting menu and various drinks. Everything was delicious. The owner was super friendly. The timing of the food was great also. Definitely recommend this restaurant! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options both appetizers and mains.
Fun atmosphere, food and drinks are A1. Definitely recommend the tasting menu! Worth every penny and you will leave satisfied!
Great decor, tasty food and nice wait staff
This is actually a 5 star review in disguise. As soon as management gets a high chair that isnt broken and useless, Ill swap my rating. Food : 1/5
The tasting menu was well worth it! Many appetizers followed by 2 tacos each and then dessert. Very tasty
Juan excellent!!!
Amazing service from Juan, really spiced up the night for my date and I. So much fun.
Excellent service, very good food. Jessica made the whole experience much better!!
Superb experience, both the food and the service. A nod to Jessica for her superb recommendations!! To try and revisit!
Juan at the bar is amazing: very friendly, caring and efficient
Great casual dining. Best best service. Thanks Jess.
Went for the brunch on a beautiful sunny day. Cozy outdoor space, great drinks and even better food.
Felt like being in Mexico. Baja tacos are amazing.
Very good restaurant. We tried the varied dish at $45 per person and it was excellent (not bad food too). I highly recommend.
Drinks & food were delicious. Our waiter Juan gave us great service.
Very noisy, Service was slow, food not so good.
Juan excellent service. Emma great first day. Thanks jess for your awesomeness Tacos a bit dry Food
Sat at the bar because it was packed. Juan was amazing! He Made all my tasty drinks and the food was great! He was so personable funny and good to talk to! Highly recommend
Sofia was absolutely amazing! Amazing service.
Ive been coming to Escondite West Island since it opened and everything is just as delicious as the first time. Saman, Jess, and the rest of the friendly staff go above and beyond to make sure were happy. Very consistent. Fantastic vibe, excellent service, delicious food, amazing drinks, easy parking and always a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this West Island gem.
The food and ambiance is good, but the service is so slow! My friend and I were sitting at the bar and although the restaurant was not that busy, the service at the bar was very very slow. Our finished drinks sat in front of us for 1 hour, we had to ask each time for another drink, and on top of that there was a mistake in my friends food order. Damage.
I organized a work event for 20+ people. Service was excellent, we didn t have to wait at the entrance and the food was yummy. Hundred percent recommended
Its a taqueria! Place to spend some time and share a few drinks, little family atmosphere, it is not a Mexican restaurant, they dont even talk to you in Spanish!
Cuisine: I loved the authentic Mexican signature Drinks perfect mixing Guacamole was excellent The decoration was very carefully made authentic. It is a very cosy and warm place The service was exceptional and personal I felt welcomed and at home
If you like Mexican food, you should definitely visit Escondite. Its an amazing gastronomic experience
Staff is amazing, the food is good but it is very pricy for the amount of food they serve. Very recommended for special occasions or drinks with friends
Great restaurant , We where a large group that ended up being more than expected due to a reservation error. Manager and staff handled everything super well , food was great! And was a great time Thank you
Wanted to give a huge shoutout to Saman and his team at Escondite DDO for the excellent hospitality we received! We hosted a bridal shower at Escondite DDO, and it was the best decision ever! The atmosphere is excellent, the staff and service was outstanding and the food was top notch! We had so much food and a great variety of all the escondite favorites! We really couldn t have asked for a better venue and experience. They were super accommodating and so much fun to work with when planning our event! Thank you so so much for making our experience so much fun and so seamless. You won t be disappointed planning an event here! Looking forward to the next time!!
Amazing decorations. Theres a buzz at this spot! Everyone enjoying themselves plus the food. a really beautiful spot! Employees are friendly and some speak 3 languages!! Amazing! good service.
4.5/5
Was a little crowded due to private event but the food and drinks were amazing and the staff very friendly
Fast service excellent food Vegetarian options: Lots of options Food : 5/5 |
Very nice place, great food and an amazing service especially with Juan (his cocktails are delicious) and Saman! We will come back for sure Food
Had an amazing meal at Escondite DDO. Jessica Lee , our server & manager was very informative & very sweet. She recommended an amaretto sour made with pineapple which was delicious. We had the Baja tacos as well as the truffle mushroom quesadilla which she recommended adding chicken to. It was so good. The mango salad was very refreshing. Everything was lovely thanks to the great service & great food. I will definitely come back.
Recommended shrimp and steak tacos.
I was with my family last night and unfortunately, the food was not as good as the last time I was there a few months ago. Lack of flavor and freshness.
There was a black hair in one of my tacos. Extremely disgusting.
Great restaurant! I wanted to particularly commend the exception service provided by Juan. Being first-timers at the restaurant and having numerous allergies, my partner and I had several questions about the menu. Juan took the time to address our questions patiently. His attentiveness, patience and wonderful personality enhanced our dining experience. Thanks to him, I ll certainly be returning! Additionally, his spicy margaritas are fantastic!
The food & drinks here are always delicious and the service is fantastic! We had Sophia as our waitress at our last visit and she was patient, happy to answer any questions we had and was just such a genuine pleasure! We had a great time and by the time we left (Saturday night) the music was pumping! Super fun atmosphere and delicious food!
Had a 40 min wait between foods. Waitress kept coming to apologize and explaind they have chef in training so that the reason for the long delay. I am paying a lot of money to eat here so I expect a good service. Train your chefs at non peak times not a Saturday at 1830. I should have been at least offered something for my families inconvenience (a discounted bill, complimentary dessets).
Great spot. The food was terrific, service was great, the atmosphere and decor were great. Maybe a hair on the pricey side, but it was worth it.
Juan was so good! Loved the service and the drinks!:)
Juan was amazing, dopest dude and amazing service as well. Get over here and yourself a drink a taco asap
Too loud , cold atmosphere, cheap hard chairs, not enough staff for our party ! BARTENDER RUDE(Trevor) slow bar service! Food Was nothing special, Will never return !! Food
My favourite Mexican restaurant, I always come back to enjoy their tacos ! I love the decor
Kai provided exceptional service.
This was a really good place , really nice waiter and amazing food. Highly recommended if you want mexican food in West Island.
Really amazing food and service was awesome. And Sofia, our server was really helpful
This is one where I wish Google had 4.5 stars. It was good but not perfect. We were two people on the sharing menu. Food started off great, all the plates were good except the nachos 2.0 which were just dry dumplings with guac on them. I wish there had been one more plate after the tacos or just some rice to fill us up. Service was quick at the beginning, as the night went on and the place filled up it got slower but I assume that is just a lack of employees like everywhere. Overall I would recommend it for a fun meal.
Their waiter Juan was very nice and provided a great and fast service, the food was amazing , defiantly will be going back , I would recommend the strawberry margarita a lot
The Baja 2.0 are to die for, and the corn bread muffin is a delicious side! Thanks to Juan for the awesome service!
Amazing food and amazing service. We will be back soon.
Very nice restaurant, food and ambiance !!!
First time and certainly not the last! Quite a culinary experience that me and my wife had! Delicious starters; Nacho 2.0 and general capon. Taco meal that comes at the same time as the starter; camarone and cochinita pibil and simple desserts; churros and keylime pie. The waitress was very nice and professional. Gave us time to adapt to the menu and guided us to choose well. Fabulous atmosphere! Music and decorations on the walls. Even the toilets are special! Dim orange light and the sinks are outside the toilets, like in Mexico! We were delighted! 10 out of 10!!
Foods not good and really overpriced for the tiny portions that they provide. Almost nothing Mexican tasting about it.
Amazing food!! Love it
i went there for new years eve with my 17 year old daughter. the food was really amazing although it was a lot. And the staff was super friendly and great service. I would definately go back . This is my new favorite restaurant. Cant wait to go back Parking: i dont drive but it had lots of space. Kid-friendliness: i went with my 17 year old daughter. she loved it.
Always such a celebratory atmosphere where they make you feel like part of the family! The food is always consistent and delicious, fast and amazing service. Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options available in both appetizers and mains!
This place has the best exotic drinks, not only they taste good but look and smell delicious!! Food is heavenly and the staff has spark and very kind. Parking: Lots of parking nearby
Had a great time! Good food, nice ambiance, and super friendly and helpful staff. Bill can add up fast depending how hungry you are. My drinks were also very good. Overall, nice first experience!
: great atmosphere, the decor is lovely. Tacos were super tasty (I highly recommend the Baja!), and bonus points for the chicken wings, flavorful. : Portions are small, it can get expensive as you order more. Avoid if youre really hungry and on a budget! Desserts are meh, couldve done without... (we ordered both Key lime and churros, they dont taste anything special)
Food was the most authentic Mexican... tuna tostada was full of flavor and the tacos were spot on... try the michelada drink...just delicious...great service, thank you chef Vanessa...we will be back for sure...
Cute place, friendly staff, good tasty food. Although the waiter really tries to convince you of it, to me Escondite is not a « tapas » place, it just serves small portions. The korean tacos where delicious, but like anything spicy it should be served with a wedge of lime for those that wish to cut the spiciness.
Fantastic fish tacos and fantastic margaritas
One of the best experiences with service I have had. Kindest waitress, expertly times 8 course meal, and the friendliest, most hilarious and welcoming chef. The food was delightful! As a whole, escondite west island is worth it.
Love this place! I have been several times and was there last night for my 4oth birthday. The staff is so nice and the chef came out to say happy birthday. The food was great and we all had a good time. I highly recommend trying the fish tacos.
Excellent food and what can I say about the ambiance and service! Just perfect!
We had a great evening and birthday celebration at Escondite. The atmosphere is warm, cheerful and casual. The food tasty and fresh. Portions are small but reasonable and that gives you a chance to sample more than one dish. Highlight besides our great gang was the birthday churros and all waiters coming to clap and cheer on. Thank you!
Nice ambiance and really nice crew. Its a bit expensive for what it is though Food : 4/5
This place honestly blew my mind!! Amazing service delicious drinks and ooooh my gaaaawd the food was to perfection. Ill be a regular here from now on!
Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! The service from Christina and David was impeccable and made our evening even more special! But make sure to reserve well in advance if you want a table, this place is busy!!
We were a group of 14, our waitress was very friendly, but the service really left something to be desired. There was a lot of waiting between dishes (up to 15 minutes after we finished one), we had to ask for water and to change the dishes. Some dishes arrived lukewarm. There seemed to be one or two tables with customers who were friends with the staff, these tables appeared to have received excellent service In my opinion, Escondite Union is better in every way (service, food, atmosphere).
Great restaurant! Its excellent! Good atmosphere but a little noisy for my taste.
Amazing food!
Amazing food and service
The vibe of the place is cool, ambience good, however the major setback is the food specially the portion of the food you get is literally nothing compared to a decent meal... Moreover their is no such mexican speciality in the food it looks like a modified version... For me this place is off the list....
Do NOT order at this restaurant. They have absolutely no respect for their customers. We have waited over 1h30 for our food!! I ended up doing sandwiches for my kids who couldn t wait anymore.
I reserved for 4 ppl by mistake. Luckily, they could accommodate 6 of us last minute with no problems or fuss. The food was delicious and fresh on a Sunday evening. The service was attentive and kind. Drinks were amazing. I ll def be back! One personal preference only: all dishes come predressed. I would suggest at least 2 types of salsa of different heats so ppl can increase heat level if they want in a sharing situation
We had a misunderstanding with the order and the owner was really rude to us. Tacos were too spicy and margaritas not very good. Never coming back!
We have been here several times. Its our favorite place for sit-down Mexican food in Montreal. Of particular note on the menu are the Baja fish tacos, the Korean steak tacos and the ceviche. As is, the food is not very spicy but if youd like it hotter, ask for some salsas on the side which are spicy and delicious. The drinks are awesome too. The Paloma with fresh lime and grapefruit juice is very refreshing. The blood orange and tamarind margarita with a cinnamon rim is also great. Its a bit quiet for a Mexican restaurant but it feels friendly and comfortable.
Tasty food, fresh drinks and a good vibe. One of the best restos in the West Island
My friend brought me to this location ( I ve been to the one in downtown which I very liked) Interior decor was outstanding, young and trendy style. The food way too good, everything that I have tried was so tasty. The waitress was so nice, making sure if everything was ok. A place that makes me have cravings. Their tacos yummm and their must-try general tao whaaattt. going back anytime soon thank you for letting us know quality food exists :)
Only come to Montreal to eat at this resturant best mango salad
Hands down one of the best restaurants in town. Amazing food and cool ambience. The staff are very polite and informative. Definitely coming back :))
Cozy place with an amazing atmosphere, kind & hospitable staff, good food , nice decor , and fresh drinks. Highly recommended
This place was awesome! Fusion mexicaine that was ultra tasty, served fresh and hot! Super friendly service, and really cool atmosphere! Wow, we were amazed!
Special place. The food is extremely good, in fact it was so good that we decided to order the entire taco menu and we ate it all. My favourite was the cod, then the beef.
10.95 for two little itsy bitsy pastor tacos.when you leave a restaurant and still hungry .you know there is a problem.the bathroom s were dirty I could tell from outside Wich if for men or women and the light was too dark .for the price you pay not worth it.our waitress was amazing.good worker in a wrong place.
The food is so delicious
Foods is no doubt different but delicious. Service for a group is not properly organized. They need to start on foods which takes a little longer so the group can all eat together. And management should learn not to try to kick out customers (especially groups) when they have other groups who reserved the same table at a later time. Management should learn to serve the 1st group well, so the customers get served quickly. So that way the customers will leave on time and their other reservation will have their tables on time. Management 101!
Very good! Beautiful menu and excellent margaritas!
Didn t enjoy the experience, very dark, loud and pricey. Menu is difficult for newbies and overpriced for what you get . I could have fed 20 people for the amount I paid for tacos and nachos. Sirloin taco was good, but colli flour terrible tasteless .
Amazing service, delicious food, beautiful location. We went with 2 kids and the service staff knew how to modify for kids and were super easy and friendly. Amazing, will definitely be back!
We had the pleasure of hosting a private event here and I was blown away with the execution. The food was incredible and the staff was amazing! They were extremely professional and are clearly experienced in dealing with large groups. They take every little detail into consideration such as food restrictions, allergies etc. Would absolutely book another large event here!
Its one of my favorites, everything is fantastic! The ambiance, food, service, drinks, everything!! Freshness of the food is one of the many reasons that my wife and I return often. Food
Went for dinner on Friday and sat at the bar. The food is always tasty. The staff was super nice but seemed new and inexperienced which meant they forgot our order and it took awhile to get served. Regardless it was a nice experience.
20 minutes in and out. Felt we were bothering the staff. They were gathered at the kitchen door having their own party. Food was so so. Ordered fish tocos with purple coleslaw. Very battered and tasted like frozen fish sticks. Was advised that it was like a tapas style restaurant. Except for one mango salads option not much to order as side dish or to complete the meal. There are main meal options like General Tao, not really what I was looking for at a Mexican restaurant. No combination of tacos/rice and salads. No rice to be had anywhere. Our biggest disappointment and reason we will never got back. We drove from Hudson because this place had been so highly recommended. There was no line up, two couples and a family of 4 in the restaurant. As we were eating our last bite and still had half our drink left. We were served our bill and the machine to pay. It was 6:30 so not sure if they were expecting a rush, but we sure did not feel that our business was very welcomed. Sorry, but with all the amazing restaurants options in the WI this will not be one of ours return too.
My GF and I went on Mothers day, the interior decor does make you feel you are in an authentic Mexican restaurant but my experience was not that great, they ran out of a particular alcohol so my GF couldnt get the drink she asked for and they ran out of ground beef for tacos along with 4 different wait staff delivering our order , seemed very disorganized also waited 20 minutes to get our dessert (key lime pie) so we ended up canceling it. The tacos are small and they dont offer much else, I decided it was my first and last visit. GOOD LUCK !
Love, love the food!! The service was wonderful. Definitely going back.
Delicious Mexican meal. The shrimp tacos are sublime!! Dont forget to have guacamole as a starter! Yummmm
Great restaurant. Prompt service and tasty food and drink.
Nice spot, good mexican food, friendly environment.
Cassie is a delight!! The food was fresh and the bar made us personalized shots cuz we couldnt decide. Great place for a girls night.
We were five of us. We shared many appetizers among the group. I tried many new dishes including ones with truffles. We also had ceviche, and cheese tortillas for those who eat less spicy. I will return with friends later this week. I am sure that it will be great. Kid-friendliness: The menu has items especially for children. They especially like the corn muffins and mini quesadillas. There are small portions. They had a hard time waiting for churros and Nutella. We will go back with the children.
Delicious and affordable. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended.
Exceptional service and food was delicious, thank you again for a wonderful night!
The food is delicious, the staff is amazing and such a cool vibe ! Oh and let s not forget about the drinks :)
It was ok, the decoration is beautiful. I like Mexican food but this is the first time I wasnt satisfied with the food, the service was nice but we asked for additional napkins which never arrived. The menu is still limited. I hope they improve in the future.
From the drinks to the appetizers to the tacos and the dessert this was by far the best Mexican restaurant I ve been to and Mexican is my fav! It is a little pricy so pace yourself but honestly worth it!
Best spot in the west island .....
First time dinning at this restaurant and was greeted with a beautiful atmosphere. It is a small restaurant but has cute aesthetic decor. Our waiter Jessica gave us a great first experience dinning here. The food was amazing! She recommended us great food choices and we enjoyed everything wanting us to have more. The guacamole was super fresh. You could tell it was homemade. Definitely going there again and especially because of our waiter Jessica!
Cool place, our waitress was great but the girl at the front who seated us, not the most polite... Our table outside was dirty, this should be viewed by her before seating anyone, then I asked to clean the table, then she replies: is this OK? If It was done properly you should not need to ask... Our waitress saved the day, although the 50$ pitcher we got, clearly stated it came with jalapeños and when it came out didnt have any, was disappointing... Food was good.
Delicious food and excellent customer service
Came last week and had and amazing experience! Our waiter Kai was extremely well spoken and charming and helped us pick out the best starters and the BEST steak tacos we d ever had. Impeccable service and delightful food. Drinks were also fantastic. Will definitely be returning!
This was my first time at Escondite, and iit was perfect for date night with my wife. The food was excellent. The atmosphere was perfect. A special shout out to Jessica, our waitress who made our experience memorable by being charming and very attentive towards us. In fact Jessica is a superstar!
We absolutely love Escondite! Perfect place for Date Night food is delicious and taste like authentic Mexicain food with tons of mouthwatering flavours. We like to sit at the bar and talk with the bartender(s), Juan is amazing such a hard worker plus his drinks are out of this world delicious!!!!
Great place, food and atmosphere!
Listen you guys better keep Kai. Best service he helped make my friends birthday dinner even better. I dont want to focus on the bad because his service overshadowed it and made us enjoy the night. #SoupOfTheDay was great!
Amazing cool vibes, we had a great time here. We came for dinner & cocktails, ordered a bunch of things. Everything was fantastic!! We ll be back for sure.
Great service, good food, fun atmosphere.
Great place for Mexican Food. Best chef in West Island Food
Food is delicious here! The churros are to die for and i love getting the cauliflower tacos. It s a bit pricey and the service could improve but the past few times I ve gone they re short staffed so it s understandable.
loved this place. Great food, nice atmosphere, and super friendly staff!! (Kai was amazing)
Wonderful ambiance Service was super and food delicious! Thank you! Food
The Marharita media noche was delicious! We had tacos with filet mignon and chicken, they were good, but the general Tao cauliflower was ok.
I cant believe its taken me this long to go here! We went 2 couples, got a reservation the day of which was great. My wife is recently diagnosed as celiac so going out to restaurants is still a new thing for us. That being said, and once we mentioned it to the waitress, who was great btw, recommended the tasting menu. We gave her an idea of what we liked and they brought everything we wanted. Not only that, separated all the gluten free items for us, made sure to keep the sauces on the side (as some contain gluten) and there were so many great options. Food was delicious, drinks were great and service was fantastic. We will 100% be back again, and my wife now has a go to restaurant as she does love Mexican cuisine, so this is great news for her. Thanks again for a great evening! Dietary restrictions: Very mindful about our gluten free options
Love this place! Its always so much fun. Great vibe. Great food and drinks. And friendly staff.
I often went to Escondite in downtown Montreal, and was super stocked they opened one in the west-island. It took me a few years before I got to try it out. I loved that the restaurant atmosphere is very similar to those in Montréal, but with some unique touches. Its the same food and the food.was pretty good. We had the a Mango salad which was good, but the mango wasnt as juicy and the salad wasnt as spicy as I had remembered, so I was a little bit disappointed, but it was still very good. We had some General Chappo chicken, very spicy and tasty. Also took the tuna tordata I think it was called, that was my favorite, very fresh and tasty. Then we had some El Pastor, Coliflower and Fish tacos. Again, from memory I felt they were better / fresher at the Montreal locations. Everything was still good, but I didnt taste the pineapple in the El Pastor and the Porc was a bit dried. Coliflower was good and also the fish Taco, but the frying of the fish made it heavy. Still all enjoyable, but we were quite full afterwards! We still took one of each desserts (churro and lime dessert). Churros were fresh and warm, the lime dessert was served in a bowl. Both were good. Nothing special to say about the service, it was good but I cant say it was amazing lol It was what Id expect. Overall, still a good place to go, we will be back for sure.
Confused! Read the raving reviews. We are still waiting for our fish and chicken tacos, as I write. It has been over an hour. Food
Love the place Juan was great we had a ll amazing time and the drinks were great Food
TLDR: Service and vibe was fantastic, food was bad. Lets start with the good. This place is very beautiful. The vibes are great and the staff is very kind. Couldnt ask for better. But... But the food was pretty bad. We were a large group. I got to sample the chips & guac, al pastor and the churros. The chips were cold and unseasoned. The guac was nothing special, also lacking seasoning. I think the cooks are scared of a bit of salt. The al pastor was extremely disappointing. At $10.95 for 2 tacos, you expect decent tacos. But no. The meat was cold, chewy and overall had no flavor. They also charge $1 for salsa verde on the side. Having been to many other taquerias in Montreal, this is a first. It just gives the resto an appearance of being cheap. Btw, the salsa verde was not good either. Tasted like canned/bottled salsa verde. Lastly, churros were overcooked. Wouldnt recommend. Would I recommend this place? Yes, if youre here to have some drinks with friends, as the vibe was great with good music. Our waitress Jess was phenomenal. Would I eat here again? Nope. The food lacked authenticity and flavor. Definitely eat elsewhere. For actual delicious tacos, I would recommend La Matraca, La Capital Tacos or Impact Tacos. A bit far if youre in the West, but much cheaper prices for way better food.
The menu could use more veg options, but other than that this place is perfect! The decor is beautiful and creative and the staff is simply wonderful. Absolutely in love with Juans spicy margaritas, hes the absolute best!!
Came for a girls night. The food and drinks were great. The service was excellent! Definitely recommend. Food
Fun atmosphere and good food Service was friendly and not overbearing. The guize nachos were an unexpected, fun fusion. Only thing I really didn t like was the margarita media noche.
So good. Food is DIVINE! We went all out and ordered a ton of food and it was worth it! Excellent experience
Nice menu with atypical items that were very good. Service was good and they were very friendly. The giant mural of the Mexican Last Supper is brilliant!
Great vibe for the West Island. Good drinks and tons of yummy food options.
Place is beautiful, staff are wonderful, bar tender is awsome, food was delicious and drink was great! I definitely recommend this place and i will fo back
Nice ambiance, service is good. Portions are small and 2 tiny tacos cost $11. Would not recommend tasting menu as it turns out to be quite expensive.
One of the best places I ve been on the west side, everything is amazing, Wendy by myself and say on the bar. The bartender that day was Juan, and he was amazing and funny to chat with! The paloma s are my fav drink
Food was delicious, drinks were delicious, service was top notch! Will definitely be visiting again!
Love it here! The tacos are so flavorful and has the right amount of kick to it. Ambience, service, and drinks are good as well. Because of the size of the tacos, you might have to order twice but its worth it!
Loved the vibe!!! Super good atmosphere and service. The portions were super small but very delicious!!
Vegetarian options: Truffle quesadillas Food
I went to Montreal on a business trip and decided to try out Escondite on the west island! I was greeted by a stunning young blonde lady who helped me out tremendously with the menu. 10/10 would recommend visiting this establishment
Interesting varied menu, nice decor, reasonable prices - we really enjoyed our dinner out at this neighborhood restaurant!
First, Juan is the best bartender. He prepared a dragon orange drink then, food is so yummy!! It worth it :)!
Beautiful atmosphere, great service and delicious tacos!
Sofia was very nice Beautiful decor Fresh and excellent food Lack of Latin music
Our waiter, Juan was very friendly and welcoming! He provided amazing service and great suggestions! We will definitely come back
Food is tasty but the portion are really really smalll and expensive. Left there hungry. Service is fine. But felt pushed to order more. West Island location needs a redo, the decor is and atmosphere is just okay, not very inviting.
Food is very good and service is good, but DO NOT make your reservation over the phone. Make it online, or they will lose your reservation and ruin your plans for that evening.
