   The flameado was the best I’ve ever had. Just with there had been more! Happy hour prices on drinks were a nice surprise. Locally grown food was fresh and delicious.

   I took my new neighbors to brunch as an introduction to Mexican food (they are from Maryland and new to Texas). The whole experience was wonderful. The service we received was excellent. I hope we can come back and make it a regular brunch.

   Amazing! The food and drinks were so tasty. Not to mention some of the best guacamole I’ve ever had. The service was great, very attentive. I would highly recommend La Condesa.. especially for a date night.

   We used to frequent La Condesa as a high-end Mexican staple when it first opened. We hadn’t been back in a while and were very excited to be back. Our server was as bad as we’ve had in over a decade in Austin. No menu explanations, recommendations, considerations. He also forgot our order and had to come back to ask us a second time. Our server wasn’t rude but their was a severe lack of “welcoming” made the experience worth much less than it should be. We were so excited and planned on spending a ton more (because the food is still good) but the service was so poor, we didn’t want to stay a moment longer than needed. We want La Condesa to continue being a great Austin staple so hopefully this feedback helps. We look forward to going again at some point, but not any time soon unfortunately.

   The food was excellent and service were excellent. Just know that this is closer to authentic Mexican food, even specifying dishes from different regions in Mexico, so don't go expecting traditional tex-mex fare like tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, burritos, etc.

   The food was flavorful and creative. It’s a bit pricey for Mexican food and is definitely not Tex-Mex. But it was fun to try some new things.

    Service was not attentive and very slow; food was not at all what it used to be. La condesa has sadly not been able to maintain the quality they were once known for. Overall the restaurant seems run down.

    La Condesa is a good restaurant but extremely overpriced. My friend ordered the fish and it was 3 bites of fish for $46. I split the chicken mole with my husband and it looked like a lot of food but was mostly chicken bone and not a lot of meat. The tortillas are very good as is the guac. Friend said ceviche was delicious. Service was good.

    Very attentive service with a friendly and helpful waitstaff! Ordered my all time favorite cocktail, the tobacco-infused El Cibico and for starters the Sikil Pak, (Pumpkin seed hummus, tomatillo, habanero, pickles, tostadas) and the Short Rib Quesadilla, (Black bean mole, dos lunas, salsa verde, lime-pickled onion, oregano). The hummus was lite and fresh and satisfying. The short ribs were my favorite with deep flavors that kept my attention with every bite, (though this night the saltiness was more than I remembered…another drink please). We halos gas the Hongos, (Grilled mushrooms, mint chimichurri, black bean purée, tortillas, onion, cilantro) which was a perfect choice with the short ribs. My only disappointment was that the entire order came out at once; starters and big plates. We forgot to ask if it was coursed out or not otherwise I would have timed the order differently.

    Great food and service, as usual. The highlights for our group of four adults were the conchinita pibil, a seasonal ceviche, queso flameado, esquites, and churros. We also had the torta of the day but found it mushy and very salty, so I recommend passing on that dish. This restaurant is a good choice for a fun and lively night out.

    My partner and I wanted to give La Condesa’s HH a try and we loved it. The drinks were delicious, the staff was welcoming and nice, and had great food suggestions. One feedback we provided were the tostadas for the guac were burnt and chewy. I would love to see food items on the happy hour! The vibe is right there so will definitely be back.

    Food, drinks and service EXCELLENT! It was our first time at La Condesa, the restaurant is bright, the crew friendly. We asked if they had any specials for the day, we end up ordering that and one other item from the regular menu, all our food was delicious, the layers of flavors exquisite! and the drinks work really well with our food selection. If you like mezcal instead of tequila in your margarita or paloma, they have a long list of mezcal brands. I ordered the only vegetarian/vegan item in the menu, hopefully they add more options, if not, I'm ok ordering the same next time, it was delicious.

    La Condesa is the best interior Mexican Restaurant in Austin. Bar none… You can’t go wrong with any item on the menu. My personal favorite starters are the Sikil Pak (pumpkin seed hummus) and Queso Flamedado. The Barbacoa is the best I’ve ever had, pair that with Esquites and the Guacamole and you will not be disappointed. Hit them up for brunch as well. The CHILAQUILES are stunningly delicious. Get a bottle of Champagne and mix it with watermelon Agua Fresca for the perfect brunch drink. In spring or fall sit on the patio and soak in Austin and the best Mexican food in town.

    Chef Rick Lopez continues to push this Austin classic to the highest levels of excellence it has ever been. Expect fresh made masa, authentic Mexican flavors, and seasonal produce combined to make cuisine that would challenge any contender for the best modern Mexican north or south of the border.

    We are visiting Austin and we saw this restaurant and it looked great! The place is beautiful and the service is very friendly, the food is delicious but very pricey $$$$ and you will get charge for extra tortillas if you order more to finish up the delicious queso asado. They don’t serve guac and chips or salsa as am appetizer and the server will tell explain why and it’s a good explanation! The chef was very kind to prepare for my 3 kids chicken quesadillas (pricey for a kids meal ($16 each and not served with any sides) since they don’t have a kids menu, so definitely not a kid friendly place if your kids are picky eaters. The guac was delicious but it has to be ordered with the food not as an appetizer. The plates are very small so not shareable. And also don’t check the menu on open table since they have a different menu at the restaurant. I told them about but it seem it’s has not been updated. Go directly to the web page so you don’t be surprised by the menu and the prices ;) I would definitely come back, maybe as a date night, friends get together and no kiddos!

    Food overrated for the price. Summer ceviche dish odd combination of a creamy sauce and spicy jalapeño. The “chips” are stale blue corn tortillas and not free. Service was slow. I’m general dishes either over or u set seasoned. Best item was the queso flameodo, but don’t order the quesadilla which has same exact taste profile.

    Not what it used to be. Cocktails are great but the menu was very limited versus pre-pandemic times. Pretty expensive too for the portions but am generally not dinging it too badly on this due to our inflation. Fresh flavors but all in all missing it’s stand out qualities from the past.
