    Great food and great cocktails. The ambiance was lovely and the service was knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive. The queso flameado with short rib mole was sumptuous and delightful. The seafood tostadas (atun and la vida vuelta) were light and delicious, perfectly balanced with piquant spice and velvety avocado. The tlacoyo is a must try. Happy hour cocktails are half price and are all excellent. We have been coming to La Condesa since it opened in 2009, the year we got married. We no longer live in Austin, but we come back to La Condesa for special occasions when we are back in town. Highly recommend.

    Someone recommended Chapulin and said their tacos were 10/10. I am usually disappointed when another tells me this but in this case... Yes the Wagyu Carne Deshebrada tacos were excellent. Quite possibly the best tacos I've had my five years in Austin. The guacamole with chicharrones were very good as well. Yes, we will be back and thank you!
