La Condesa - Austin (TX)

5 /5 Aaron Gill: 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.

5 /5 Kenzie Kerneckel: 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.

3 /5 Medha N: 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.

3 /5 Abigail Silva: 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.
