Condado Tacos

The food here is really, really good. This place is a good alternative from fast food restaurants. The ingredients are fresh and after you finish you will be full but not heavy. The shrimp tacos are definitely worth multiple visits. And don't forget to grab a bowl. You won't be disappointed

Cy made me a Drag and Fruit Habaneron😂, and it was honestly one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. The flavors were bold, perfectly balanced, and the spiced twist gave it something special. You can tell he really cares about what he’s doing. On top of that, he’s incredibly friendly and made the whole experience feel personal and welcoming. I truly hope Condado at Polaris knows what a gem they have in him — he’s the kind of bartender that makes people want to come back!

Great food, very fast too! Shared am some margs with friends and had delicious tacos. The sweet heat was my favorite. Some of the best house margs I've had in a long time!

I recently visited Condado Tacos Polaris, and it was an absolute delight! I tried Lucy's Fire Nachos and a burrito, and the food was outstanding. The nachos were crispy, loaded with fresh ingredients, and had just the right amount of heat. The burrito was packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere was equally impressive—warm, inviting, and filled with a lively energy that made the experience even more enjoyable. The staff was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall charm. A few extra points: the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I also appreciated the variety of options on the menu, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. Overall, Condado Tacos Polaris is a must-visit for anyone looking for great tacos and a fantastic dining experience. Highly recommended!

This food is delicious. The customer service is amazing. Stephanie takes it up to the next level past exceptional at the bar. Even pointed me towards some cool stuff to do while I t he area. I did a custom made shrimp burrito 🤌🏻 The loaded tots were worth a reorder. The dragonfruit habanero marg was crazy tasty. This will be a regular stop for me while I’m in the area! EAT HERE!!

I walked in to place a to-go order at the bar, and walked out 5 minutes later! The food was fresh, and the service was excellent, even just for a quick to-go order. Kailey was super helpful (and patient) as I asked a million menu questions. 😂 I will definitely be back!

Super flavorful tacos, cool space with hand painted murals all over. We had the braised and confused tacos, Mexican street corn guac, cactus juice drinks, and the swole bowl. All super flavorful and delicious served by great staff. Came here twice already in one week.

Came in for lunch today they were so busy!! Our server Shayla was amazing at explaining the menu and taking care of us! Food was so good must try the Lucy’s fire taco! We will be returning very very soon

Was hanging out at Activate and decided to grab dinner here afterwards. Tons of parking. Patio is nice with the strung up lights. For a Friday, it wasn't super busy but there were a decent amount of people dining inside and in the patio. We shared the margarita flight and chips and queso. Delicious!! My friend's frozen marg was slightly tastier in flavor that the regular margs. I built my own taco and should've added some kind of sauce to it as it was a bit dry ish. The build your own option isn't bad for the price. You can choose the toppings you like. I've had most of their taco combos on the menu and wanted to eat something else My friends enjoyed their tacos too. We had one taco each, as they are kinda filling. They can give you a refill on chips for free too. Service was good. We got seated right away and our server was always nearby to flag down.

Oh No! I'm such a fan of Condado Tacos. However, this location leaves an extra salty taste. Pros - plentiful parking, open concept, uncomplicated menu, great house Margaritas. Cons--Wait time after being seated. We barely had enough time to review the entire menu and write a book report before our server showed up. The taco of the month, "Buffalo chicken," was loaded with salt. It was a salt bomb, and I and the other guest with me could only eat half. I ordered the nachos for the table. They were loaded with toppings and salt, yes. The Baja Shrimp tacos were also salt-infused, with the three small shrimp. Be ready for a slight wait and an extra helping of salt once seated. This location does not adhere to the Condado brand experience, which is a shame because the area lacks good tacos.

I came for a solo lunch in the middle of the work day. The service was on point. So friendly! The queso was perfect and the chips were fresh. The tacos were just okay. The shrimp one was cold and the ground beef was also barely room temp. Flavors were good! I appreciated the quick service but, would love to have hot tacos.

I've had Condado twice but this was my first time getting food at this location. I love that the location is closer to where I live & I plan to make this a "go to" place when I don't feel like cooking. We ordered nachos online with brisket as our protein and customized the toppings. They have lots to choose from. We were feeling peckish and thought this would be a single serving to satisfy a late night craving but upon picking up the order we were surprised with the amount of food. The serving was GENEROUS and we could not finish it between the two of us (not necessarily a bad thing!) My only complaint was that the toppings were not hot (and the cheese not melted) to the point that the whole dish was room temp/cold. They should definitely pop it under the broiler or make sure hot items are hot when they add them on top of the chips. It was still thoroughly enjoyed!

The tacos had good flavor and were tasty, despite not being authentic Mexican tacos (I know it's not advertised as such). I had a chicken bacon ranch taco and the homegrown one, both of which I enjoyed, but they tasted very similar to Taco Bell tacos. Nothing wrong with that, but for the price you pay, you may as well just get Taco Bell. I did not really enjoy the Mexican corn dip appetizer, as it tasted like canned corn and nothing like traditional elote. However, I did enjoy my skinny marg!

This was the only spot open late on a Thursday close to our hotel. Landing just a few hours earlier, we wanted a drink to make up for the bad martinis we had somewhere else. We popped in here and sat at the bar and got some Guac and Chips, and Elote and Chips, plus Handsome Devil Cocktails for round 1. Then we had Smoke Show for round 2. The bartender recommended Smoke Show and he was right. It was a really good Mezcal Cocktail. The Elote and Guac were both good. We ended up getting another round without chips because we had a lot left over. On the way out, we ordered tacos to go. I got a chicken and a beef one. They were big and loaded with stuffing so I was quite pleased with them. I ate them for breakfast the next morning.

Steph always provides the best personalized service. She is literally the heart and soul of this restaurant and her service was no exception!!

The service was great! Fun, busy atmosphere. And the food was good. But warning when the menu says the spice level is hot they mean it. They also have a nice selection of fun cocktails in addition to margaritas.

I have to say not only was the food superb ambience was unique and the artwork fantastic, the best part of our meal tonight was Stephanie the hostess/bartender/waitress. Stephanie was absolutely a delight and one of the reasons we will be returning!!!

I've been wanting to try Condado Tacos for sometime, just have haven't had a chance. Stopped in late on a weeknight just before closing. Service was a little slow, but the food came out quickly. Tried an appetizer and a couple tacos, now I know what to get next time I go back. The Elote dip was incredible, and the ooey gooey taco was amazing.

Our server was friendly and food service pretty quick but my food was disappointing. My only previous experience with Condado was excellent - it was a 5 star review. That was Condado in Clintonville and the only change I made this time was ordering tofu instead of brisket on my bowl but the result was very different. For one thing, my rice was all crusty and hard like it's been sitting around for quite a while. I was able to pick up big chunks of it all stuck together on the bottom of my bowl with my little spork. See 2nd photo. The other thing was that my tofu tasted like it'd been fried in old oil. It was chewy and almost rancid tasting. My only other comment is that my friend ordered her bowl on lettuce and she barely got any! Her bowl was half as tall as mine. She got a good amount of brisket but they were stingy with the lettuce base. Check out the size of hers in the background compared to mine in the foreground.

Love the make your own tacos. The Thai chili tofu and sweet lucy taco shell are my favorite. I love their queso and chips too, but they always make me incredibly thirsty afterwards. Service has always been good and they have an outside seating area available too. The parking area at this location isn't great. The parking area is busy and narrow, but we still stop here regularly.

This place has to be the best spot in Lewis Center. If you are looking for a spot in the Northern Columbus area, you have to try Condado. The tacos are clever and delicious, our server Mindy was very welcoming.

Have dined here a couple of times. Much prefer when the weather is warm and the patio is open. When it's closed for the season, the inside is very loud and dark and the high top tables with the metal stools are uncomfortable at best. They definitely don't encourage you to linger for very long! The 4 stars are for the food and the fast service. We were most recently there on a Friday evening for 614 Restaurant Week and it was packed. Food and drinks were fantastic and service was lightning fast! After the food was delivered by the food runner, however, we never saw our server again until he brought the check, so we were never offered any drink refills. No photos of the food because it was too dark, but it was delicious!

We love it here!! Wonderful food and service every time! Ambiance is fun. Drinks are nice and strong.

Thai restaurant sucks. Hundreds of people standing around waiting for food but when you order and eat inside, it's done in minutes. How does it take 45 minutes to 90 minutes to get an order ready? You need to be more efficient and stop wasting peoples time. There is no parking available and no where to wait. Everywhere you stand, you're in the way of something.

This place is a great value. They do tacos. Very fresh and great tasting ones. It's really all they do with some great drinks. Probably half the price of almost all the other places within the neighborhood of Polaris mall

I stopped by for lunch to visit an old friend. The place had some tables occupied, but definitely was not full. We were seated promptly and instantly brought a menu. I have been to condado before but it still was a surprise when we realized that chips and salsa were not free with the table (it has been years so my memory was fuzzy). So do be warned that if you want the basic order, it'll be about 2 bucks or more. The chips and salsa wasn't an issue, just a surprise, and I ordered a half order of the pineapple salsa for the table. The order was plenty of chips for the two of us, and the sals was very good (had nice flavor but was not spicy). Both of us ordered bowls, though I've heard great reviews on the tacos, and they were quickly brought out. I had a lettuce bowl with pulled pork, peppers and onions, red cabbage, queso fresco, corn salsa, and some avocado ranch. Overall the bowl was good, though next time I'll add some tomatoes or choose a different salsa for a different flavor. I finished the whole thing easily, but still felt full. The place itself was very clean with a cool vibe. I love the artwork on the walls; it adds some fun to the visit. Lastly, I did not think my meal was over priced for the chips, salsa, and my bowl. It was a pleasant lunch with good company. I recommend Condado and can't wait to come back.

We visited on Saturday evening, March 2, 2024 after a failed attempt at Kura Sushi across the street. The guacamole is really weird and the tacos were terrible. The worst tacos I've ever had in my life. My family agreed. Wasted $120. I've been here before, I don't remember it being so terrible.

From Louisville, I traveled to Columbus OH for work and we had dinner at Condado on a Wednesday night. No reservation but they had plenty of tables and we were seated right away. Our server was fantastic from start to finish. The stars of the evening were the queso elote and my margarita flight. Those alone would have been a reason to visit! Condado offers several unique tacos but many were marked spicy and I'm not adventurous with heat level. I chose the Plain Jane and Braised & Confused. They were okay but neither wowed me and I left most of the tacos on my plate. I think the sauces were too much for me and if I make it back I'd build my own tacos. This is a great spot for groups. Casual, lots of tables and a patio available. Mural covered walls and funny named tacos. Private parking lot but it is busy being next to other popular spaces.

Amazing dinner at Condado Tacos on Wednesday night! $5 margaritas during happy hour - the sparkling marg with a sugar rimmed glass was delightful. Two of us split a small order of chorizo queso, then I had a Korean BBQ Pork taco and a Build-Your-Own chicken taco with the Sweet Lucy shell. Both were amazingly fresh and flavorful. My friend's chicken lettuce bowl also looked great. Condado would be great for lunch or dinner! Yum! Also I should add that the service was great!

It's been a bit since I have been. The food is still the same quality and delicious, prices have slightly increased, but not bad. The roja and verde salsas are full of flavor, and roja brings just enough heat. I was sad they don't have the papers at the table to build your own taco. I was put on the spot when the server came. I can't even remember what I picked other than the sweet Lucy shell. The taco was amazing!! The only downfall the place has was the ice cold chips.

Stephanie was a great waitress. She really hit the ball out of the park. The food was well seasoned and the chicken was well textured. The atmosphere was great too with ricky and morty style artwork.

Really good taco with many good drink options available. I love the Patio. Staff is very friendly. My goto place in Summer especially. They have many Veggie options too. My favorite: Firecracker Taco House Margaritas

I love this location. It usually isn't too crowded! The decorations are fun. The staff is super nice and they get you your food fast! I ordered the Full Three Bud (Guacamole, Dirty Queso and Elote Queso)($24), and the El Santo Taco that is no longer on the menu so you have to order as a Build Your Own Taco. Everything was delicious! My favorite Queso is the Elote Queso but all of the dips were good. You should definitely check it out. P.S they also have great drinks!

It's not California Mexican but pretty good. Skinny marg very good. Mexican corn meh, hot (dirty salsa) was everything.

Great service and food! Highly underrated! We were waited on with happy staff. The food came out fast. Try the blue dream taco!!!

I made an Uber Eats pick up order. I ordered two bud boxes, which include two tacos and chips with your choice of dip. I think with most of the specialty tacos being pricey at over $6 each (expensive!), the bud box is the way to go. I ordered two bud boxes at $13.80 each. Still found that to be quite pricey for tacos compared to other places. For both boxes I ordered the Cali Green and Blue Dream ground beef tacos. They were nothing extraordinary. The bud boxes are definitely filling though. I don't find the tacos here authentic by any means, but a nice American version when you are hungry. I wish the tacos were more spicy. Perhaps, the restaurant could add some house-made hot sauces to the tacos on the side. I added sriracha at home to have that perfect kick. I ordered queso for the chips for one of the boxes and guacamole for the other. I definitely love the guac and queso dips more than the tacos itself. I was happy with the pickup order as they had it ready to go on time and still warm. I would have not ordered for the $27 original price, had a $10 Uber Eats coupon that made it worth it.

Amazing tacos. Exceptionally attentive service despite being busy. Will definitely be back.

We had a great time there. We were sitting outside and it was so good. The service was good! Our server was a great guy and he's a veteran. The parking lot was full but there's a garage next door so parking was not an issue at all. Will go back!

Wonderful food and a very laid back atmosphere ! 2nd trip here and they are consistent with their food quality and options!! Highly recommend

Have patroned a few times now! Both via delivery as well as in the restaurant. The food is always good and consistently prepared. The service is timely and friendly. I really don't have too much to contribute but sometimes no news is good news! The restaurant is pretty cute though! I haven't been there in quite a while since delivery services are so convenient these days, but ... would recommend!

Shayla kills it every time! 10/10 love the vibes and tacos. Cant get better or faster service anywhere else in my opinion.

Love love the tacos & drinks!! Top shelf Margs!! Garrett our server was adorable He took care of us!

It's Restaurant Week. It's been a long time since our last visit to Condado. Love the interior with bright murals and industrial feel. Dropped in at lunch time..not a big crowd but it grew as we enjoyed our meal Started out with a drink..Spiced Pineapple Mezcalitas..yum!!! Great start to the meal. Next was the chips and dirty queso and Reefer dip. Their chips are on the thicker side which is a change from others and very good. Good holding power when dipping into the dips not breaking on you..Lol both dips were yummy. The Reefer had a little spice but nothing too hot. The tacos came out just in time before I grubbed on another basket of chips..Lol.. They were all great with all the different ingredients paired together to make an Awesome taco. I know before Covid you had the experience of making your own taco combinations. But I always worried I wouldn't make a good taco combo so I always stayed safe and never tried new things. Now they have tacos made up with different items that I normally wouldn't try but, I've enjoyed everyone one that they we ordered today. Can't wait to come back and try some others. Restaurant Week Success!!!

I love this location of Condado's!! I never usually have to wait too long, before I get sat at a table! The service is always amazing here! The staff is incredibly nice and caring! I love some queso and spicy jalapeño margaritas! My favorite are the tacos, always have to go with the fam favorites!! Always a clean, up kept location.

Really great food, and I highly recommend the margaritas. Condado Tacos is one of my favorite restaurants, and I've been to several of their locations- this one might be my favorite. I love it!

Grabbed a table during happy hour on a Friday night with ease. Had a wonderful server who took care of my friends and me. Enjoyed delicious build-your-own tacos and the best queso dip you can find in Columbus. If this isn't winning, then I don't know what is. This location of Condado is located right off the interstate. It's easy to get to but parking can be a teeny bit of a hassle. Good thing there is a parking garage around the corner, just in case you can't find a spot right out front. There's also a couple other restaruants with bars within walking distance, which can make for a fun night out depending on what you're looking for. Pro Tip - Always get the sweet lucy taco option. Soft taco, queso, quac, and hard taco. AH-MAZEing! Totally worth the $1 upcharge.

I've been coming to Condado's off Polaris since its grand opening. I was the big winner of their grand opening price: a year's worth of free tacos! It was an extremely generous prize and even though I treated friends to meals out, catered my daughter's birthday party and catered an office party or two, it did last me almost an entire year! Now that my winnings are gone, I am happy to continue coming back to Condado on my own dime. Their loyalty program is great and pays off if you go a lot. I am obsessed with the sweet Lucy taco and packed bowl with sweet chili tofu, the pineapple guacamole and the chorizo queso. The monthly specials for guac, tacos and queso are usually amazing too. I'm such a huge fan of this place and love everything about it - the food, service, decor and overall ambiance or vibe. Come in the summer when the garage door is rolled up and the patio is banging. It gets a little loud inside during the winter, but still so festive. Love the art adorning the walls - you notice something different each time you come! Most of all, this place reminds me of my wonderful Thai exchange daughter who came with me all last year. She loved Condado's as much as I do, so it will always remind me of our year together. Bring on the Condado's queso, chips, guac and tacos. Yum!

Ordered a huge order for the office. My food was uneatable. So much hot Sauce it was drenched. No one will answer the phone when I tried to call. Very dissatisfied

Food is always solid. Service is pretty solid - sometimes have to wait a bit longer than expected for someone to be at the hostess area to be seated or pick up a to-go order. Overall ambience is pretty nice for a very casual outing.

Ordered two separate types of 1/2 queso coat around $15. Queso is good but feel like I wasn't given enough chips really to win. Just one small bag. Thought I would get at least a back for each queso order.

I ordered a beef and chorizo bowl with cheese (cheddar and Jack), lettuce, tomato, salsa verde (green spicy salsa) white rice (order extra rice on the ticket or you will be disappointed). The bowl is about the size of a chipotle bowl but the quantity of what you get is really based on what you order to go in it. What I am learning is that the photos online of the food are probably loaded with everything to look that huge. The tacos my partner ordered were as big as the ones you get anywhere else and that too is because she is a picky person on the ingredients. I would order double meat next time as well. I don't consider myself a hungry person, but I definitely did not feel full after eating this. I still think this place is a better place to eat than Chipotle, hands down. If you want to know about my hatred towards Chipotle, see my review. Chipotle has poisoned people in the past and had to shutdown for a while citywide due to safety concerns. Nothing has changed in my area. I think that if you are bringing your A-game appetite, order double meat and get the extra rice. Know that each additional topping has a cost, like with a pizza. The atmosphere is nice, the place is clean. It was really busy for a Monday night to hear the bartender say how odd the crowd was. It was busy. There is seating at the bar and there are high top and normal low tables. I would recommend showing up early before rush hour ends through the week to beat the rush. It got pretty loud in here once the place filled up. They also have to-go ordering and even margarita's to go. They have a margarita tap for house-made margaritas in a keg. The margaritas looked to be very popular. Parking also seemed to go pretty quick in front of the location but there is still plenty of parking in the complex. I will definitely return. Ready to order for an A-game appetite. For two people: A bowl and three tacos with a few extra toppings each was just over $30 with the tip. Worth every dollar.

Just checked into our hotel and we were looking for a drink and some casual food after our long drive. Cool space. Super nice waiter, nice cocktails too. But the food...OMG definitely the worst Mexican food we've ever had, what a disappointment. The guacamole was okay, chips were nice and fresh. The tacos were a disaster. We asked for fresh corn tortillas and they were cold and dry right out of the package and totally broke into pieces while eating. My two shrimp tacos were so bad I only ate a couple bites of one of them and left the other. Ordered with red cabbage, pickled onions and spicy crema. Barely any soggy cabbage, a few onions and way too much sauce. The shrimp were small and seemed like they'd been cooked beforehand, were rubbery and fishy. My husband got a couple tacos from the menu that were almost as bad. The side of bacon refried pintos was inedible it was so salty and tasted like it had a ton of liquid smoke in it. My husband ate his tacos and I left hungry. Not sure how you can completely mess up such a simple thing as a taco!

Our next stop on the "farewell to Carla tour" was Condado Tacos. To be fair, originally we planned on going to Atlas Tavern, but unbeknownst to me they're closed on Mondays (maybe they're like Garfield and don't do Mondays....), so we opted to try Condado because they were literally right around the corner. Once again, eating at a toddler's dinner time of 4:30 pm has its perks, like no waiting to be seated, so that was a bonus. I brought Nugget with me to the last supper I'd be having with a friend. We were seated pretty quickly. It was pretty quiet in there (I'm assuming due to the time or maybe because it was a Monday). The interior of Condado is pretty fun looking: bright colored aliens and robots adorn the walls. It really keeps a kid's attention. I started with a Modelo Especial, Nugget ordered a "fancy water" AKA club soda, my friend got a beer (I can't remember which one), and we shared an order of queso. Beers came out quickly. Our beers were cold and refreshing, which was great because it's been super hot here in the Midwest. Our queso came out right after the beer. Houston, we have a problem. There was spice (paprika) and one lone jalapeno on the queso. I asked my friend to distract Nugget, so I could swiftly take it off. Hell hath no furry like a toddler that sees "spice" on queso. Phew, he didn't see anything, and dug into the queso. He really enjoyed the queso, so much so, that he had a queso beard by the time we finished. I LOVED the queso. It was hot, smooth, silky, velvety goodness. If I could have taken a bath in it, I would have. Had I been in a room by myself, I would have drank the remaining drops of queso (don't judge, I'm pretty sure you'd do the same). The chips were delicious (crunchy/fried vessels for our beloved queso). Onto food. Condado's ordering is a bit unconventional. While they have some recommendations, you really can choose how you want your tacos/burritos/bowls made. You choose everything from the type of shell, protein, salsa, cheese, etc. I opted for a bowl this time (rice base, pulled pork, lettuce, tomatoes, queso fresco, pineapple salsa). They don't have a kid's menu, but you can get a kid's quesadilla, which is what I ordered Nugget. Everything came out quickly. I dug into my bowl. Wah Wah (cue game show music). The pork was bland. It really lacked any type of flavor. I couldn't even taste S and P (salt and pepper) on it. The rice tasted like your basic white rice. The pineapple salsa was good, but they could have been more generous with it, due to the low ratio of salsa to meat. All in all, the bowl was a disappointment. I'm sure the quesadilla (or as Nugget refers to it as a quesadida) tasted fine, but he didn't touch it. He opted to eat a side of sour cream (sounds delightful, right?!?). Pros: -Interior is super cool and fun -Queso is off the chain -Chips were crunchy pieces of heaven -Variety of items on the menu Cons: -Lack of overall flavor in the bowl -Pulled pork was bland Tips: Get a queso to go, so you can drink it in the privacy of your own home.

It was okay. Not a place to go for me!! I was expecting traditional tacos and everything was served cold and not overly flavorful. This was my first visit here and my last. There was no staff around to ask about food or anything else. This was one of the only places we went to during the Covid pandemic. Masks were worn, gloves and seating was all appropriate. Was told about this place by friends who know that we will try all kinds of food. Once was enough for me.

I was visiting my kids who attend Ohio State nearby and they recommended this restaurant. Truly some of the best food I've had in a while. I ordered the skywalker nachos with a margarita (highly recommend). Our server Asia was also amazing. She was patient with us, recommended some dishes, and brought our food out super fast. I loved our experience here and cannot wait to come back here when I return to Ohio

Amazing and spectacular food! The staff is always nice and friendly! Always a fun vibe eating here!

Food was amazing! I got the Lucy Fire and it was great! Loved the service, Alli was our server and she took great care of us and was very helpful going over the menu! Will be coming back! Amazing tacos.
