The food will be brought to you. At the side, there's a small salsa if you'd like additional condiments. We tried a plate of tacos and enchiladas. Incredible flavours! No wonder they have rolls of paper towels at each table. You'll need them! I can't wait to go back!

Extremely disappointing experience from beginning to end…read more The service was rude and unwelcoming. When I was about to ask where to pick up my order, the employee responded with, "Did you look over there?" with an unnecessary attitude. Then when I went to grab the order, the other employee couldn't even hand me the food, I literally had to lean over the counter to get it myself. No thank you, no smile, no basic customer service. Unfortunately, the food was just as disappointing. The tacos and burrito were extremely dry and had very little flavor. What really made this experience unacceptable was finding foreign objects in our food. My girlfriend found what appeared to be a piece of wood in one of her tacos and thankfully noticed it before biting into it. Then I found a long piece of hair in my burrito. At that point, it was honestly disgusting. I work as a videographer with restaurants and have eaten at many different places, and my girlfriend also does food reviews, so we experience a lot of restaurants. This was easily one of the worst experiences we've had. Bad service, disappointing food, and serious issues with what we found inside our meals. I definitely won't be coming back.

Very delicious, strong margarita - love that! Food was good, but we tend to compare everything to an amazing Mexican restaurant we go to in New Hampshire, and the flavors just aren't the same - but like I said, for chain-style food it's pretty good. Fresh guacamole and my mushroom quesadilla was fresh, cheesy but a bit bland. We received a gift of churros for dessert because it's my birthday week :) Very much appreciated! Service by Louise was amazing! Nothing beats El Mirador but yeah, we'll probably be back!

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. Would recommend to try. Mr mole taco - I don't think it is a truly authentic mole, but still a good taco. At 12 dollars for 2 it was a bit steep, but still pretty good.

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

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.)

The condiments were a little lighter and different, and no tortillas were served. The amount of rice and beans was a lot smaller than usual too.

The tortillas were soft you can pick between flour, corn, or, nachos, everything tasted fresh, no misses. The manager was also really sweet and welcoming. The whole place has such a colorful vibe, and the presentation of the dishes are so beautiful. Check out my pictures. They also have deals during the week (Monday to Friday), which is a nice bonus. Definitely a spot that deserves more attention !

It was busy, which is usually a good sign. Honestly, I wasn't really in the mood for tacos, but everyone else wanted to go, so I figured why not. Man, am I glad we stopped here because the food was delicious. The shrimp tacos were really good, but the Choripapas were my favorite. I'm not vegan or a full-time vegetarian, but I do try to limit how much meat I eat, and I was more than satisfied with everything here. The margarita was fantastic, the black bean dip was fantastic, the service was fantastic, and finally, the GUACAMOLE was fantastic! I would definitely encourage anyone in the area to check this place out. Sometimes the places you stumble across end up being the best.

The location is fantastic, making it an easy spot to meet up and unwind. From the moment you walk up, the decor feels refreshing and welcoming without trying. One of my favorite features was the front patio seating. There's just something about sitting outside with a glass of wine, good conversation, and people watching in Montreal that makes for a memorable afternoon. While the inside was gorgeous, I prefer outside always. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos to share, but I can definitely speak to the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always seemed to appear right when our glasses were getting low, amazing! haha. They helped create a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to sit, chat, and enjoy each other's conversation. Sabrosa is a cute, comfortable spot that's perfect for catching up with friends over wine and food for sure. I'd happily stop by again on a future visit to Montreal. Thank you again for the hospitality!
