CubanMex fusion cuisine is getting traction in Florida, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona and of course California, but hands down - this small simple family run restaurant in Montreal is at the front of this trend. I only hope they don't get so popular, that we cannot get in next time. This type of innovation in flavor from immigrants merging their own two cultures is what Montreal is all about!

The ambiance is swanky but still feels cozy with Latin music in the background and lively conversations. Prices are on the high side but the quality of drinks and food is worth every penny. Reservations are available and a great idea. Parking can be challenging, especially on weekends. See below for more info: Phenomenal Food: Our family of six eats Mexican food everyday at home. Additionally, by residing in San Francisco, we have access to some great Mexican restaurants in the city and the rest of California. Yet, we have never truly been left in awe as we all were of AriZ5. The food was so phenomenal that we all had not one but two dinners! In the words of my mother, "la comida mas rica que he comido en un restaurante," which translates to the most delicious food I have had in a restaurant. We had the tacos rancheros, tacos de birria, tacos al pastor.

Superb option for a boozy brunch! Value: 10/10. My three friends and I each paid around $23 USD -- I'd be hard pressed to find a 'bottomless' brunch in the US for less than $30 per person, much less drinks AND food! Taste: 7.5/10. Sangria rosé was dangerously delicious; it was like juice. Culinarily, nothing groundbreaking here, but everything was tasty! I've personally had better ceviche - the avocado to shrimp ratio was off and I think the mixture ended up being a little soupy - but the avocados used were very fresh. The individual tacos are very generously sized and come with three different sauces. The arrachega beef taco was delicious and I really enjoyed the smoky flavor added by the orange sauce! Presentation: 8/10. Pretty much what you'd expect. We were given free popcorn as the 'pre meal starter' which was definitely just poured out of a bag, but it was a good vibe. Ambiance: 10/10. Great vibes all around, fun music, we had a great time. Dined: December 12, 2022

Bestie & I came here for dinner on Halloween 2025, without a reservation…read more Staff were all in costumes; we were seated right away and our server was very nice - did not rush us at all. 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.)

We got some drinks to start, and the staff was very nice, very chatty, and overall very outgoing. 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

I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon - it was pretty empty. I saw many videos and ads on…read moresocial media beforehand so that is how I found out about this place. The evening atmosphere based on the videos seems much livelier - an ideal party spot. We wanted to try some beef birria tacos however were told they were not yet ready - in a way, that is good news if they are making it fresh to anticipate the dinner ruch. We settled for other types of beef tacos and some type of a quesadilla. These are served with guacamole, lime, and a fresh cream - similar to sour cream. At the table, there are 2 bottles of sauces - these were tasty but both extremely spicy for our liking. The taco plates are not served with any sides and are in the $20 range. I found this to be pricey as the portion initially looked small, but they are all well stuffed so end up being very filling. The flavors were fresh, well seasoned and very tasty. It hit the spot. Service was friendly and prompt, our server was hispanic and did not speak much english or french however. Note that they do offer an all-you-can-eat special on some nights of the weeks for tacos as well as chicken wings - this is worth the price if you have a large appetite. Make sure to check our their Facebook page for more info.
