Walked in on a Saturday evening hoping to get a table for two and were initially told there would be a two-hour wait. We decided to check the bar area and, after about 15 minutes, were able to grab a table there instead.
Overall, the food was good, though I enjoyed some dishes more than others. The short rib quesadilla (6/10) was my least favorite — it was quite greasy and lacked flavor. The tostada de tinga (8/10) was much better: very flavorful and well-balanced. The queso flameado (7/10) was also tasty and came in a generous portion. The churros were the highlight of the meal (9/10) — absolutely delicious.
I’d definitely recommend making a reservation next time to avoid the long wait, but overall it was a solid dining experience.

Great brunch at La Condesa! We arrived right at opening and the service was fast, friendly, and very knowledgeable. The chicken chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, churro waffles, and queso flameado were all hot, fresh, and full of flavor.
Agua Frescas were super tasty and refreshing.
They were very accommodating about us not eating pork and the brunch menu is surprisingly vegetarian‑friendly. Do note that the queso is authentic Mexican queso (not Tex‑Mex), rich and delicious. So if your expecting Tex-Mex, it may not be for you, but we thought it was delicious.
Eggs were cooked perfectly, and the chilaquiles had some good spiciness but was a bit salty, however it was still excellent.
Generous portions, great quality, and overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend.

Came for happy hour on a Monday at the bar with a friend and it was such a cozy and wonderful experience. Neha was our server and was extremely attentive and friendly! For food, I highly recommend the queso and the green beans(the dip surrounding the green beans was so zesty and had amazing umami)!! Don’t skip. For a cocktail, I had the Alma Blanca and it was perfect. It was sweet and spicy at the same time (so a great balance) and so smooth. Every detail, even the candle lit in the bathroom which smells amazing, created a comforting experience.

Food and atmosphere are always amazing. We have been here 3-times and always leave bubbly and happy. It’s fun to people watch and share good eats and drinks. I love the heat.

Great spot to eat and socialize. The food is very fresh and tasty. The service was great considering we had to sit in the bar.
Had the La Condesa margarita. It was delicious.
Guacamole was great. The Green Goddess, a new menu item got rave reviews. The Tostado De Tinga was great.

The grilled corn was the only dish we enjoyed. However it’s overpriced ($15 for a small bowl). De quesadilla de short rib was too spicy hot and it’s not mentioned on the menu and the server didn’t warn us either. Esquites (tuna, avocado) was too hot spicy and acidic. Again the menu or the server didn’t mention it. I couldn’t eat the tuna after I tried to eat the spicy short rib quesadilla. The portion is very small for the price. We both got heartburn. If the menu or server told us those dishes were hot, we could’ve asked not to have hot peppers at least on the tuna or we could’ve ordered something else. Since we didn’t enjoy these dishes, we wouldn’t order any main dish.

Their Guacamole and corn starters were delicious, definitely worth trying. The chips are different from your regular chips served with guacamole, a bit hard and definitely provide some exercise to your jaws.
The main course was not as appealing as the starters.
The ambiance was welcoming and their starters are definitely worth trying.

La Condesa is a beautiful restaurant — nicely decorated with a stylish, modern vibe. The bar is cute and offers a good variety of cocktails. The appetizers like the guacamole and the queso fundido with peppers were good, though the esquites were not our favorite.
We ordered a huarache, sopes, zucchini tostadas, a short rib quesadilla, and cochinita. The food was just okay overall — the sopes and quesadilla were decent, but nothing that really stood out. Service was average.
We mentioned we were celebrating a birthday, but the waiter said they didn’t offer any complimentary dessert. When we ordered one, he also said they didn’t have candles so if you’re planning to celebrate, bring your own!
Overall, the place is lovely and the ambiance is nice, but honestly, the food didn’t impress me. I’d much rather go to Suerte the food and cocktails there are much better, and you can tell the difference right away: Suerte is always packed, while at La Condesa you can easily get in without a reservation.

Incredible Mexican fare that truly sings. The flavors are exceptionally bright and fresh, but the real showstopper was the chicken mole—rich, complex, and perfectly executed. A standout meal!

INCREDIBLE! We chose this restaurant to use an OpenTable benefit we had. So glad we picked this restaurant!
Happy Hour is 5-7:00 with 1/2 off ALL drinks from the bar. It’s worth going just for Happy Hour! I had the Manzana Clara… delicious. My husband had a Moscow Mule also delicious.
We started with the guacamole starter with chips, restaurant made masa. Mmmm. We ordered two separate dishes then shared. They were both so flavorful! The pork belly tacos were 10/10 as was the short rib quesadilla. We tried the desserts too! Tres Leches Cake and Pot de chocolat with banana ice cream. Oh! My! Goodness!
The service was awesome! Meagan (I think) gave great recommendations and answered all of our questions. We asked her to bring another drink when ours got low…she was on it!
I can’t say enough about La Condesa. You must give it a try!
