Description
Condesa delivers authentic, flavorful Mexican cuisine with standout cocktails and expert bartenders. The intimate, softly lit dining room and attentive, knowledgeable staff make it ideal for date nights and special occasions, while families appreciate the welcoming service and kid-friendly attention. Menu notes on tequila and mezcal and generous, well-crafted margaritas elevate the experience. Dishes range from massive, satisfying burritos to refined tacos and shareables; desserts earn high praise, though a few guests found one cake on the drier side. Clean, consistent, and reliably delicious.

I'm not really into Mexican cuisine, but this restaurant is excellent. We visited for my son's 15th birthday dinner, and he always picks this place. The guacamole is fresh and delicious. I ordered the 'tacos pablanos' for my meal (as shown in the photo). I managed to eat one of the tacos before taking the picture! The meal comes with three tacos, and the refried beans are very flavorful, while the rice is also quite good. Although I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food, I’m always willing to come here because I know the food is fantastic.
As you can see from the photo, the burritos are amazing, and not just for the humongous size. I had the barbacoa!!! We moved here from New Mexico and this was as good a anything we have eaten there. Oh, and the female bartender with the red hair makes the BEST margaritas!!! Please go there!
Condesa serves truly delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine. The ambiance is lovely, and the staff are knowledgeable about the dishes they offer. We highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions or whenever you're looking to indulge in an exceptional meal. Be sure to save room for dessert!
This is a fantastic spot for a date night! The decor is lovely, with soft lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere. The restaurant is very clean, including the bathrooms. Our server, Kat, was outstanding. It was our first visit, and she gave us plenty of time to look over the menu without rushing us and was happy to answer our questions. She was attentive, though it seemed like she was also managing the bar. The food was absolutely delicious, and I highly recommend the watermelon margarita—it was superb! We enjoyed a wonderful meal for just under $100. I really appreciated their menu, which featured some great information on different types of Tequila and the distinction between Tequila and Mezcal. The only reason I'm not giving it a full five stars is that the Tres Leches was a bit dry; only the bottom part of the cake was moist. Despite that, it was still tasty, just not quite like a traditional Tres Leches, which is usually more evenly soaked. Other than that, this place is fantastic!
This was my fourth or fifth time at Condesa. Always been consistent. Always been great. Authentic, great atmosphere and awesome drink list. This time around was extra awesome. Carlos really made the night stand out. A true professional of his craft. Perfect timing, approach and genuineness. Would love to have him in any of my restaurants!
