I’m officially priced out of Condado. When 1 taco is over $6 now when they used to be in the $3-$4 range, I’ve gotta say “no mas”. And it’s not like the size of the tacos got bigger. I’ve noticed stingier toppings, if anything.

A little pricey. Food and service is very good. Only critique would be the food is not consistent. Amount of each item on the taco varied between all 3. Would like to see consistency in my food.

Not really impressed with their food. For the price, the quality should be better as should be amount of food. I had this delivered and it came on time, so I am not familiar with the atmosphere. Would I go back? Probably not. Kudos to those who enjoy it.

Stood in line waiting to be seated for fifteen minutes without even being acknowledged by anyone. Even a "be right with you," from anyone on staff, would have probably kept our business. There were at least five other parties, including families holding their small children, behind us by the time we walked out. Turning the TV channels was apparently more important than even saying hello. Too many other wonderful businesses around for that kind of service. The place looks great, the food looked good, but that's honestly the best (and only) thing I can say. Do better.

My now husband and I had our first date here and we received a great service. The last time we went we were still boyfriend and girlfriend and I was pregnant. The food and service were still amazing. He fell asleep after a long day and 2 margaritas ?

I first fell in love with Condado when I started going to the downtown one near my office at the time. The tacos are the best I've ever found. I especially enjoy the BBQ pulled jackfruit. I'd recommend a build your own, but there are decent recommended tacos too. The guac and queso is good too. I really appreciate that each locations art is unique because they bring in artists from the area to cover the walls with murals. You really can't beat eating delicious tacos on a nice patio.Pro tip #1: Sweet Lucy shell. Always the Sweet Lucy shell.Pro tip #2: You can't eat more than 2. Don't try.Vegetarian options: The portobellos are probably my favorite vegetarian option, but a close second is the bbq jackfruit, and the veggie chorizo and Thai chili tofu are also great.Parking: You can park in the garage that's attached to it and get your ticket validated at the front desk.

Food is fantastic! Lucy's Fire is my go-to, but everything tastes great. Margaritas are okay. I am not a fan of sweet margaritas and I wish they had a strong competition to Local Cantina's Mustache Ride. I think Condados beats Local Cantina's food, but not their Mustache Ride margaritas!

This is a mixed review. I have a history of enjoying the food at Condado, but this last time was not quite up to par.Start with the service. Not bad, but not great. He was a either rushed or not around at any given time. For the most part we didn't really wait long for anything, but we did have to a little bit to order appetizers, then our food, then on refills, and then on our check. The food server was clearly in training, but nice, and delivered our food.Atmosphere is decent, but extremely exposed and it can be quite loud. Also, they need to learn how to level their tables, and actually do it - it's not hard. I feel like it's a standard to have a wobbly or uneven table, and that's not a good thing with messy food and drinks.The food, this was the big miss this time. Not sure what happened but it just wasn't good.First off, put down the salt... The ground beef was salty, the chicken was salty, the cilantro-lime aioli was salty. It was a lot, and it was unusual.Second big miss was the rice. I expected white rice, maybe some light seasoning, not sure, but it didn't go over well with anyone at the table. I'm not sure what the flavor was, but it tasted somewhere between smoked and burnt. Maybe this is a woody/earthy flavor that I'm not familiar with, and that some people love, but I do not.The last miss was a strange one for me. I love things saucy, but the Lucy's Fire taco I got had too much of the aioli. It was just unbalanced.Not really a miss, but our plan for next time - instead of the Small Bud we'll just do one build your own. Two tortillas with meat and cheese is boring, especially with so many good flavors.Everything else was good, the smoked cheddar queso was good. The loaded tots were well made, though do not plan to share, it's a small order.Don't forget to validate your parking as you leave.I'll be back, but probably without the fam next time to give Condado another shot.Parking: While the garage is not technically free, the restaurants in the area validate parking for customers.Kid-friendliness: This is REALLY dependent on the kid. There are not many options for a picky eater, and I lost that gamble this last time.

We love Condado and the Columbus location was no different. We’re in town from Michigan and have tried two different Michigan locations and loved them, when we saw this in Columbus we knew it was a safe bet and we were right. True to the taste we expected, looked very similar to Michigan locations and staff was friendly, service was quick, prices are a touch high for the food in my opinion but the quality keeps us coming back a few times a year to treat ourselves. Did not disappoint! If you like tacos come check it out!
