La Condesa

Sorry for the lack of food pictures…. It was simply WAY too delicious and I ate before I snapped :-) Come with an empty stomach the entire menu is delicious! I would recommend ordering 1 of each for each person in your group. The tacos could be served in pairs… but for the price they are nice and plump on delicious tortillas. It would be great to have the option of having coffee with desert. The service was great and even with a mask it was super smiley Seriously worth it! Enjoy 😁

Small plates tacos the size of a large dumpling. About $8 each plate on average. Very creative flavour combinations. Worth a try. Each taco tastes different, but we all liked most of them and had personal preference. There tortillas are home made and freshly baked. So wait is a little long. But food is worth the wait!

It takes a special restaurant and chef to put together flavours that combine ingredients to elevate them beyond the sum of their parts. This is one such place (even if I can't say the place is authentic in a Mexican sense.) Eat here. You won't regret it. Try the Conchinita taco 🤤, don't forget the house chili oil.

Generally delicious food and cocktails and friendly but somewhat clueless service. The kitchen is a big problem, however. Twice(!) they merely picked off the problematic ingredient I had initially reported to the server and twice(!) the ingredient was found very clearly in or hiding under my food. Management never apologized nor removed the item from the bill. Big no-no. Tres leches cake is non-traditional so don't expect the condensed milk flavour... it's covered in an unsweetened whipped cream or crème fraiche. Avoid the braised beef tacos. Addendum after seeing management response below: Yes, I ate the replacement taco AFTER removing the cilantro that was clearly visible. Cilantro doesn't taste like soap to me. It tastes like stinky feet. My companion and I immediately addressed the problem ingredient twice with the servers (plural). After that, it's not our responsibility to keep complaining. It's the team's responsibility to offer effective customer service and help us have a better night. We still paid in full and tipped in full but need to emphasize that both the kitchen and management needs to take responsibility when big mistakes occur repeatedly. The server who took the order had assured us that asking for no cilantro was easy and that I only had to avoid ordering 2 specific dishes. The first time she brought out the pork taco, she immediately noticed it was covered in cilantro, and took it back to the kitchen without any communication with us. So, essentially, three consecutive mistakes happened with the same dish. We really enjoyed the octopus chorizo tostada, shrimp taco, and cocktails. Unfortunately, the flautas also had cilantro on top (see the photo).

We went with some friends for an eat in meal, trying it out for the first time. The food was excellent, service was great, everybody was really pleased overall. I think we, as a group, tried almost everything on the menu tostadas tacos, street corn, margaritas, everything was excellent. We did have a fairly long wait for a table though, even on a Thursday night in October but were able to order some drinks to have while we waited outside. Go there. Eat there. LOVE it there!

First time visiting PEC and La Condesa was my first stop. I was feeling in the unknown and didn't know what to expect! It all came down to their impeccable service and they made us feel comfortable from start to finish. Their tortillas are made in-house and it is definetly worth the visit if you're craving authentic Mexican food 👏 😋
