However, we were surprised to find that the service was more like a food court setup: you place your order and pay at the cashier, then go sit and wait for them to bring the food to your table while calling out your name. We ordered the carnitas quesadilla, birria tacos with cheese, and two margaritas. The total came to $76, which felt very overpricedespecially for Mexican food. The margaritas tasted overly sweet and artificial, far from a proper margarita. On a positive note, the ambiance and décor are definitely unique and fun, and the food itself was tasty. But for that price point, it just didn't feel worth it. Our meals came with chips on the side, and unfortunately, they tasted stale. Overall, while the place has a cool vibe and good food, the pricing and drink quality left us disappointed.

Mango salad - Super tasty salad that is a play on the street vendor mango but in salad form. It is a mix of julienned cucumber and mixed ripe mangoes with some Tajin and vinaigrette.

It does have some chocolatey flavour. Nice to try. fish tacos - Fish tacos were pretty standard. Thick batter, mayo and a large chunk of fish.

I've tried several Escondite locations and I almost always order the same things - that time was no exception... margarita and the quesadilla with mushroom. The quesadilla wasn't great unfortunately; it was extremely greasy to the point that it was difficult to handle. Bestie had the "new el paso" tacos which she liked but found a messy eat. I have to admit this was probably the best decorated Escondite I've been to. Restaurant is beautiful with a great atmosphere. (As far as the food and & drinks, the one in Old Montreal is by far the best - but parking??? No.)

Once we got our table, we ordered the food: tried the birria tacos, tostadas, Pollo Hermanos taco, and the e'steak. Everything was delicious and very fresh. The portions were very filling, and we honestly enjoyed every dish. (Apologies for the bad picture I was too excited and ended up just taking 1) The owner was also there making sure everything was going well, and you really get the vibe that they care about their product. He was very nice, you could see him bringing dishes and overall making sure everything was running smoothly. I would definitely be visiting again

We were in Montreal for several days and decided to go casual on our anniversary and we were craving Mexican food. We made a reservation as the place is crazy busy. We arrived, had to wait a few minutes before we were seated. The hostess looked up our reservation and seated us without saying anything to us. We took our seats and looked at drinks before looking at the menu. Our server took awhile to come to our table, took our drink order and an appetizer order and left. The drinks finally came out along with the chips and guacamole and we decided to make our decision on dinner. We waited, and waited, and waited about 40 minutes for our server to come back to take our dinner order. She was fairly nice, but rushed. Again, we waited and waited and waited for our dinners. We were enjoyed the food, it was flavorful, seasoned well, and really filled our craving for Mexican food. After we finished our dinner, again we waited, waited, and waited for our server to come back to our table. She never checked on us as to how we were enjoying our food. She brought the check, we paid, stood to leave and she said thank you as my husband handed the check back to her. He quickly mentioned it was our anniversary, she stopped and asked if we would want to sit back down and she would bring us a dessert. It was nice to offer, but she could have learned this if she would have taken a moment to talk to us. We didn't need a long conversation, just to feel welcome, and we felt in the way as they were busy. We thanked her, but we didn't want to spend an hour waiting for a dessert, so we graciously declined and left. It really is a shame. If the service was better, and the food came out quickly, they could turn tables quicker. I don't know if they are short staffed, but it really was disappointing.
