I had a really enjoyable experience at Condesa, but a couple of small issues kept it from being a perfect 5-star visit.
First off, the atmosphere is fantastic. The restaurant has a fresh, inviting decor with plenty of lush greenery, giving it a lively yet relaxed vibe. The mix of plants and modern touches makes it feel like a stylish, cozy escape. Perfect for a casual meal or a fun night out.
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in at just the right moments without being overbearing. Service was prompt, and our food and drinks arrived in a reasonable time.
The margaritas were a highlight! both the classic and strawberry margaritas were well-balanced, not too sweet, and had just the right amount of tequila. They definitely know how to make a solid cocktail here.
As for the food, most of what we ordered was great. The quesadilla was cheesy and satisfying, the chips & salsa were fresh, and the plantains foster was the perfect way to end the meal. However, I did have a couple of concerns. The nachos had great flavor, but the topping-to-chip ratio was off. There just wasn’t enough meat or beans to balance out all the chips which left some bites feeling incomplete.
My biggest disappointment, though, was the Hamburguesa de la Casa. I was expecting a traditional smash burger with that crispy, seared exterior, but instead, the patties tasted and felt more like pre-made frozen patties. I could be wrong, but compared to other smash burgers I’ve had, this one lacked that fresh, made-to-order texture and flavor. It wasn’t a bad burger, just not what I was expecting given the description.
That said, the service, drinks, and overall experience were still great. The vibrant decor, warm atmosphere, and friendly staff make this a spot worth visiting. If they improved the burger and adjusted the nacho portioning, this place would be an easy 5-star recommendation. I’ll definitely be back, but next time, I’ll probably try something else on the menu instead of the burger. Worth a visit for the great vibe, strong drinks, and excellent staff!
