Update Feb 27, 2026 Another impromptu date night, and a great success. We decided to go out pretty late in the evening, so made the reservation on the Google page for 8:30p.m. Upon arrival, seated quickly, and this time we asked to be further away from the entrance, which was perfect. Did was delicious as always, chapifleur was amazing 👏🏻 🤩 And our server was such a delight 😊. Thank you Meggie! We really enjoyed our night and you were attentive enough without being annoying. Highly recommend this location, loved our visit! 🥰🥰 We chose Escondite for our date as we have come here before and we really enjoyed the food. The service was a little slow and our waitress seemed uninterested, but to be fair the restaurant was full. So no problem with lack of attention. I found it weird that the tables were super sticky, and it kinda grossed me out, so i avoided putting my hands or arms on it, or my utensils. Maybe something to look into? The staff seemed to have some issues going on, and while I didn't hear what specifically, but it was clear that they were not happy with each other. The hostess seemed stressed the entire time we were there. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Being on a romantic date, but seated right in front of the main entrance, and in the middle of the full restaurant already kind of put a dent in my mood, but to watch stressed people around me was just unpleasant. The food was excellent as usual, with the exception of the Jamaican ceviche, it just doesnt work together in my opinion. The rest was excellent as always! Overall, we still enjoyed our evening and would be back in a heartbeat...... maybe just not on a busy friday night though! 😂

We came here expecting a Mexican restaurant, but it felt more like a bar than anything else. The food was very overpriced for the portion sizes, which were surprisingly small. Unfortunately, nothing we tried felt authentic or truly Mexican ( I’m am Mexican and this was disappointing) atmosphere is good nice decoration but nothing else …

Food is good, but portions are small. Waitress forgot twice about the extras we asked for and did not apologize for it. She said she'd bring more water and she never did. Also, 1 star overall for tip options to start at 18%. When will restaurants learn to stop doing that? Put your tip options starting at 15% and stop messing around.

Hello Kevin, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re truly sorry that the service did not meet expectations during your visit. Forgetting requested extras, not following up on water, and the lack of an apology are certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your comments regarding portion sizes and the tip options are also noted and will be shared with our management team for review. Guest experience is very important to us, and feedback like yours helps us improve.

Really enjoyed our experience here! The atmosphere is fun and colorful great vibe for a night out. We went with the Chef’s Choice plate, which was a 4-course tapas-style meal plus dessert for $45, and it was definitely worth it. Drinks are delicious too ! The food was good overall. It was fun not knowing exactly what was coming next, and everything felt thoughtfully prepared. Service was friendly, and the space itself is beautifully decorated. Would definitely recommend. We’d come back to try other dishes!

I ordered on uber eats some birria tacos with some sides. Not only did i not receive the tacos, not only were the tacos not on the receipt, they put a 17$ « delivery charge » on the order. What a shame, feels like i got scammed. Definitely never ordering anything there ever again. Uber eats wont do anything about it

Hi Mathieu, we’re really sorry for the confusion with your order. We want to clarify that the birria tacos were not charged by us, and Uber Eats has already refunded you for the birria. The delivery fee is set entirely by Uber Eats, not by our restaurant, and we do not receive that charge. Unfortunately, we don’t have control over Uber Eats’ fees or their app receipts. We understand how frustrating this experience must have been and truly apologize for the inconvenience. If you ever have an issue with one of our orders, please feel free to contact us directly so we can help right away.

Service was good but the food was below average, the first bite of guacamole was good but then then rest tasted like unseasoned avocado. We ordered a few plates of tacos but they were not very good. The atmosphere was ok, nothing to be thrilled about and only one bathroom to deal with. I had to wait in a line up to simply go wash up.
