La Condesa

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!

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!

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.
