I ordered chilaquiles w/o eggs, so the portion was pretty small. But the waiter recognized the small portion and brought out more chilaquiles without me having to even say anything. They were spicy and delish!
The food was absolutely amazing. It was a party going on in my mouth with each bit. This place is a must!!!!

Every time I go, it never fails to have amazing food and amazing service. Absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone.
Had THE best experience celebrating my Mom's birthday there!!! From the appetizers to the main entree!... the waiter was great! describing the dishes, and learning that most ingredients are natural and locally made from Austin...!!! Which explains the pricing... unique, delicious dishes!

This food is amazing. Jessica our server was knowledgeable and amazing. Definitely a go back.
Awesome food! Be sure to ask to see the flour bunker down below. It was created in 1870 for dry good storage.
Had dinner and drinks last night and I was extremely impressed! Cocktails were delicious and the food was simply amazing! Great flavors and was different twist on traditional Mexican food.
Excellent food, fabulous patio and location. Very respectful staff.
Very nice ambience at this place at 2nd street. Different quintessential Mexican food. Drinks were especially awesome. Vegetarian options were less. Loved Esquites, Guac, Squash. Very fresh refreshing taste. Server was very polite and accomodated our vegetarian needs. Must must visit.
Absolutely incredible! We had the queso flameado (WOW!) to start with the La Condesa margarita - amazing. The Crudo with Bluefin Tuna was the best ceviche we’ve ever had (10/10), highly recommend! We also had the Cochinita Pibil with the refried black beans and escabeche (OMG!). For dessert we had a hard time choosing between the churros and the Trea Leches. Ultimately went with Tres Leches and we finished every bite! Light and creamy, not too heavy and bursting with flavor.
The executive chef, Rick is a really awesome guy! The staff were attentive and so knowledgeable with every dish. Great date night atmosphere! Definitely coming back to try more things - this will be a staple dining spot for us!

You need to get the Queso Flameado with Short Rib. My partner is lactose intolerant (and low key I might be too), but it is sooo worth it.
The drinks and desserts are amazing too. Definitely come here for a quick snack, happy hour, or full meal 🙌
Cannot say enough good things about this spot and the staff. Extremely professional and amazing service. I ordered from staff recommendation and got a seasonal spiced tea margarita and a “fried caper” raw tuna dish and both were so good! I honestly complimented them both to the server - my date got a vegan mushroom dish and enjoyed it a lot. Great location in downtown Austin - we sat on the tiny patio and loved that they faced the table inward toward the bar so we didn’t have to focus on the street activity on 2nd
This is a low key restaurant with great food. The glass floor to ceiling windows and plants remind you of being in Ciudad de México if only for a brief moment to escape Texas. The homemade guacamole was awesome and they even source the tomatoes from Marfa. The chilaquiles are great and recommend them for brunch. If you’re thirsty, I recommend the Paloma’s and apparently the frozen one is the way to go. The team that works here are helpful and make you feel at home.
Great TexMex food in the heart of downtown Austin, Tx. Portions are shareable. Our favorite was the queso with fresh tortillas . 🔥
Amazing food and nice ambiance. Great variety of drinks, cocktails, mezcales, tequila.
Had a lovely experience at La Condesa. Civeche was really yum..
Kids loved the fried okra.
Chicken mole 10/10. Cocktails on point. Suave vibes. Ton of gluten free options.
I had a great experience here!
Went with a large group and we had many plates to share. The service was prompt for our party. The classic margarita was very well done.
The street corn is amazing - this is a must.
The rotisserie chicken is amazing as well - very light and flavorful.
The churros were INSANELY good. Some of the best churros I’ve ever had.
The atmosphere is amazing as well and has a great backstory.
Only reason for 4 stars is the cost of the meal was higher, but that’s a downtown pricing.
I really enjoyed our experience!! We did 1 app, 1 starter and shared a dinner from the back and it was plenty for dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day! The queso is a must and we loved the carnitas tacos. Our server was knowledgeable about the food process and every detail of each dish!
We had lunch there for Valentine's Day. Even being the first of few, the service was a little slow. The food, however, was REALLY good. We started with chips and salsa, four different salsas. I got the Pineappl eMint agua Fresca, loved it! My husband drank a margarita, it was good, but typical. My husband ordered the Barbacoa En Mole tacos. The portions were small, but it was good. OMG! I ordered the ChoriQueso torta, and that was SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!! ugh!! Perfection. We finished with La Rubia, a blondie with candied pineapple, dulce de leche ice cream, and lime meringue. Also, with the Boca Negra, a chocolate lava cake spiced with ancho chili, with caramelized banana, banana and brown sugar ice cream. Before tip, all of that totaled to about $65.
La Condesa is an incredible spot for delicious, contemporary Mexican food. They are located in the 2nd Street District in Downtown Austin and the atmosphere of this restaurant is so lovely. Inside, the space is so clean, well-kept, and the vibes are immaculate. On the patio, you can anticipate a quiet, shaded outdoor space to enjoy your food & cocktails. The staff are kind & efficient, the food is delicious, and the margaritas are SO good. For brunch, try the Queso Flameado & Guacamole, and Quesadilla de Short Rib. In regard to cocktails, the Margaritas La Clásica is so refreshing!! I cannot recommend La Condesa enough, this place is great!
Amazing experience for my Birthday dinner. We already knew how great the ambiance was, but the food, the drinks and the service were amazing too! Ceviche with tuna and onion oil, short ribs, pictured here, were our favorites. Mezcal drink had so many layers of flavor. Foodies dream! Thank you!
We visited for a private event. The staff was excellent and the food was delicious. It was exciting to duck our heads and go down to the private dining space. The entire restaurant above was bustling.
