The Best Restaurants and Bars in Reno, Nevada | Eater Vegas

"La Condesa doesn’t just exceed expectations — it sidesteps them entirely with its unique take on Mexican fusion. The ribeye taco is a best seller and fresh seafood is well represented, from tiger prawns on a sweet-corn arepa to macaroni and cheese topped with crab meat and salsa verde. Some items are simply good snack food — like chicken wings or a steakburger layered with pork belly. There’s even an Italian influence in the Kobe beef ravioli and gnocchi mingling with chorizo and cilantro. La Condesa reflects the evolution of Wells Avenue, built from an old car repair shop with repurposed roll-up garage doors facing a patio courtyard. The hand-painted murals are more traditional for a Mexican restaurant, dominating the attention alongside posters of celebrity mug shots and a video screen playing current pop hits. The cocktails favor colorful ingredients while astutely balancing flavors without excessive sugary syrups. The guava margarita is a great example, allowing the natural taste of the fruit to shine without interference." - Rob Kachelriess

Food, service, and ambiance were wonderful! Carbonara and ceviche were fabulous. Lamb Gnocchi was tasty but too soft. May have just been that specific instance. Drinks (hibiscus and guava) were really good. A little pricey, but still definitely coming back.

Hospitality 101 needed. This place is amazing, the food - amazing - however the service left us wanting more. We were greeted by the hostess who gave us a “meh” look and seated us. After waiting for a while - no eye contact, water to our table - we got up and went to the bar. We were in a bit of a rush due to a concert we were heading to however the wait was still long. While heading to the bar, our server/manager greeted us “I was just on my way to you”. We acknowledged her and went ahead to the bar expressing we were in a bit of a rush and will return again for a better experience. Our server/manager expressed that she was also the manager and has other priorities. Unfortunate response. Once at the bar the service was stellar and food was prompt! Amazing food, amazing drinks! Try the ceviche and octopus and tamarindo mezcal. We will come back again and will look for a better experience as the place is amazing. Staff on the hosting and serving side - do better. Coming from hospitality, I know a smile and a simple eye contact with a lip reading of “someone will be with you” does wonders. To your server/manager- Appreciate you reading this and I hope you take it to heart and this motivates you to do better vs bitterness and disarray.

I had a delicious meal here with some friends. I got Tacos and their Old Fashioned and it was amazing! Highly recommend!

Apparently they’ve been open for two years, who knew🤷🏼‍♀️ Both the indoor eating area and the patio are very inviting. I love their take on food- it’s kinda “Mexican inspired” with several unique and creative dishes- I recommend the octopus. I gave it five stars because I couldn’t justify giving it four, but there is a tiny space for improvement. The fries tasted like tortilla chips- probably because of using the same fryer- understandable but it made for an odd experience. Our server, Elijah, was fantastic.

From eclectic decorum to mouth watering dishes, La Condesa Eatery delivered on all point! Ice cold draft beer was on my radar this evening, and everyone from the bartenders, wait staff , and the chef himself were all on point as my crew and I dined. With plenty of outdoor seating, we opted to dine indoors where the gorgeous art hanging on the walls made for and incredibly inviting experience. This evening, we chose to try a few appetizers with our drinks, leaving plenty of room for dessert. Stop by La Condesa Eatery and support this wonderful locally owned establishment. 🤘

Another hidden gem! Found this one this week during our regular bi-weekly trip to Reno. Food was great, atmosphere was retro and vibing. Services great! Come find this one, you’ll love it!

Awesome spot! Chips and salsa was great. Short rib pork belly fried rice 🔥. Service was even better. You can tell everyone enjoys working with each other there. Sit at the bar with Kalli, she was awesome!

The vibe is really cool, unique and artistic. Love the music that they play here. Delicious fresh and creative food. I ordered sweet potato fries which is not on the menu. Some of the drinks are seasonal, so ask them what they have. You might be surprised. They also have hand lotions in the bathroom - a nice touch and attention to detail. Definitely want to come back in warmer weather for courtyard seating options.

A special occasion with a friend brought us here, La Condesa was tops on my list. I wanted something different and fun and La Condesa delivered. Who doesn't love a big patio for outdoor dining on a nice Summer's day ( we were there before the July heatwave ) . A pleasant AlFresco lunch, among pretty plants and flowers and plenty of umbrellas . We were lucky , on this day that Margaritas were special priced and we took advantage of that offer. We each ordered one and then another. The menu here is so creative and really appeals to my pallet . ( Something for everyone ).. My friend and I pretty much always begin with an appetizer and one that was suggested by our waitperson ( which happened to be the one I had my eye on ) was the Spanish Octopus.... Charcoal grilled octopus, guajillo salsa, garlic aioli, black garlic oil. The plate was also dotted with small slices of golden potato and small bits of chorizo. The presentation was beautiful and it tasted amazing the octopus was firm but delicious and the combination of all the ingredients on this plate was Heaven ! The sauce was the bomb! Deciding on the main dish took awhile, we wanted to try everything! We decided on sharing a thin crust pizza. Our choice being a Chicken-Cilantro Pizza with a curry béchamel , red onion, and Serrano chiles and a cheese blend that included smoked feta. This was Perfection! We both love pizza and this one with its unique blend of flavors turned the table on possibly my favorite Ever !! The service was good and our waitress was darling . La Condesa hits the mark on all counts, it is one of the restaurants I will definitely keep on my favorites List. Prices $$$ but such a wonderful experience.

Unfortunately my experience was not as positive as I thought it would be. We had called ahead and reserved a table for 15 people. When we arrived they said that there was no such reservation and we had to wait to get seated. It was nice to get seated in a private area, but we also had to wait for a long time before a server came in to check in on us. As for the food, I thought some dishes were good and others were just ok. The potato taquitos were definitely delicious and for my main entree, the short rib fried rice, was just ok. We also ordered the La Condesa Carbonara and thought the flavors was lacking. This place is a little hidden so parking is really small. However, It's a cute spot with open patio seating.

I was a little surprised where La Condesa Eatery is located. I had read about it, been wanting to try it (especially after reading about it in a "best of Reno" article), and had obliviously driven by it many times! It's kind of tucked away with limited parking. The restaurant and patio are super cute! Apparently the building used to house an auto repair shop, complete with roll-up garage doors which face its patio today. It was a hot day, so I started off with a refreshing margarita on the rocks. We happened to arrive during their Happy Hour during which they offer $6 food specials, cocktails, and house wines from Monday through Thursday, 4-6 p.m. We ended up sampling several of the Happy Hour dishes including Caesar Salad, French Onion Mac & Cheese, Caccio e Pepe, and Totopos with Cheese & Crema. We probably liked the mac & cheese the best because it wasn't as heavy as it sounds and it had a nice flavor. Our server was friendly. We will probably head back again someday to check out items on their regular menu.

Had a really nice dinner tonight at this eatery. Mar was our waitress and really made our evening enjoyable. I had the Spicy Sausage pizza, really enjoyable and more then Enough. My quests had the Wagyu Raviolis which were delicious, and the Czar Salad with Grilled Chicken. The raviolis are beautifully presented. The Caesar salad is a very nice summer option. Restaurant seating is informal. Also, seating is available outdoors in a protected patio. Very nice also! Restaurant also has a large private area which could be possibly used for larger parties. Happy hour items available during the week. Music and video are played, tonight's music was more late 70s light disco and set a fun mood. Limited parking in front, street parking available and across street.

A warm summer evening brought us back into the courtyard at La Condesa for a date night meal. Lucky us. From the setting, to the food, to the service was PERFECTION. We arrived hungry. And without a reservation again, yikes, but came in just before peak dinner service so we were stoked to be able to snag a table outside. We over-ordered. But mama didn't raise no quitter so of course we rose to the occasion. We had drinks - a Tamarindo Rush & a Bravo Old Fashioned - both stellar. For food, we ordered the tiger prawn arepa, the barbacoa taquitos, the calamari and their special that evening, paella, which also came with a garlicky, bright Caesar salad. ALL amazing. And plenty to take home for lunch the next day. And even better, all under a patio umbrella on a warm summer evening, which makes everything taste even better. Don't sleep on LCE, just come! The vibe, the food and the people are what makes this a jewel in the crown of Reno's dining scene.

I like how this spot is tucked away from the busy street. The outdoor patio is large but broken up with plants to feel cozy and private. Even on a warm day, there is usually a breeze to keep it cooled off. The indoor seating is spacious and has a great fusion theme. The Mexican-Asian fusion is a great addition to the food scene in Reno. The Bahn Mi bun tacos are something else! My first visit was during a Yelp Elite event and I have been itching to come back. The cocktails are great and pair perfectly with the food.

We came to La Condessa eatery for a yelp event when I first started out with yelp. It was really really good. They made a good margarita and the food was extremely tasty. Quaint restaurant tucked behind another restaurant, but it has a cute patio area and the night the inside of the building is pretty cool. So you're looking for something different fun we got La Condesa. Right on Wells after marketplace 1/2 block up

OK, I could've sworn that I reviewed this place last year when I came for my birthday, but I don't know where my review is so here you go again. The staff is phenomenal. Alina was super attentive and friendly . The place is beautiful, has plenty of seating and the food It is top notch- because I cannot find better words to describe it. This time we order the gambas al ajillo as appetizer and they were absolutely delicious not only where they super well seasoned but the salsa macha made them 1000% better. We ordered the ribeye tacos, which were very filling (aka Bien reportados - for my spanish speakers) and the ugly delicious burger; which was indeed very good looking and delicious. And I know nobody comments on the chips and salsa but as a true Mexican, I appreciate real totopos!! And I know those were made in house because they were thick and crunchy and just delicious! And of course their drinks are always perfect no matter what you order. They have a great selection. I am so happy La Condesa exists!

What a beautiful evening on the patio of La Condesa! I've been eyeing La Condesa for a while as it is one of the most consistently highest rated places on Yelp. They have several recognitions including being in the current top 100 US restaurants. We were seated quickly for a 6pm reservation and even though our res was for inside they let us sit on the wonderful courtyard patio. Our drink order and appetizer came out quickly and the food not long after that. We shared the tacos, one order of the shrimp and one order of the ribeye tacos. Both tacos were incredible, full of flavor, and very fresh. The ribeye meat was incredibly tender and so well seasoned. Both of the sauces that came with each dish were also perfectly paired. We finished the evening with the mango cheesecake flan. A perfectly light dessert that fresh tasting and super satisfying on a warm evening. I think pricing here is completely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. They also have some very unique dishes which are priced respectively. I love accessible quality dining and La Condesa is certainly that. There are so many items on the menu at La Condesa that I'd love to try. I can't wait to return and try some more.

This is always a solid choice for food in midtown. The fusion of flavors and different genres of food is so fun. My personal favorite is the carbonara but I also really enjoy the rib eye tacos. OR the ravioli. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially sitting on the patio in the warmer months. Great music and vibes. I made a reservation via phone, but when I arrived they said they didn't have it which was a little disappointing. However, they were able to seat my family on a Saturday night and were very apologetic.

Came in for a casual bite and was seriously impressed. We started with chips and salsa -- perfectly crisp with just the right kick in the salsa. The shrimp tacos were yummy. Washed it all down with their margaritas, which were strong, tangy, and just a tad sweet (but I usually order half sweet). The vibes were fun and modern, and the service was friendly and fast. Can't wait to come back!

Stopped back in for a friend's birthday and ordered the bao buns and shrimp tacos. The restaurant is cozy and the staff is friendly. I tried the bao buns at a food crawl months ago and had to get them again. They are delicious! A tad pricey but the tacos were great as well. The hibiscus margarita was perfect!

I've wanted to try this place for ages and it did not disappoint. I ordered a mango cocktail, had some jalapeño in it per the drink description and I loved the spice. I ordered fish tacos as my main and the sauce it came with was a must. For apps my group and I did tuna ceviche and potato taquitos, all delicious. Service was prompt and friendly, my friends and I were very satisfied!

If you are following, you already know, this is/was Happy Hour Week for my wife and I! Quality/Quantity - Taco Tuesday! And happy hour... Well Elijah told us they do not do HH any more, not enough demand?!?! I am so sorry to hear that. Anyways, check out their Taco Tuesday. 3 options to choose from, no mix and match. So my wife and I each got a different type, so we could at least try two of them. Fish Taco - 3 to an order, fried (I think my wife was expecting grilled; she should have asked) Overall it was good. A good fry, decent portions. My wife felt it was too oily. Well, I especially like the spicy sauce. Chorizo Taco - Again, 3 to an order. My wife also felt this was too oily. When she was done, her plate had a puddle of oil left. Good flavors overall. Decent portions. We were about to order the 3rd mushroom taco when my wife decided to hit our usual Happy Hour Taco Tuesday place. So we flagged Elijah down, paid, and left. Atmosphere - Cool space. Both indoor and outdoor, although the outdoor was closed today due to the weather. Looks like an expansion is also coming, see my pictures. Not sure if you have parking, so we parked on the street. Service - Elijah was good. Very welcoming. A hard worker. Price - $34 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2022; so glad I was finally able to visit.

I have been to La Condesa Eatery twice and had a great experience both times. I recommend making reservation in advance because this spot does get busy. Parking is pretty limited, but there is street parking and other parking lots available nearby. What really earns La Condesa this five star review is the high quality of their food and the variety of their menu. The feature cuisine from everywhere: Italian-inspired pasta, American-style burgers, Latin style tacos, European tapas, and some great fresh salads. I highly recommend the octopus! They have great cocktails as well. The space can get a little noisy on a busy night, but this is a fun dining experience for everyone.

I forgot about this sweet little spot and I'm glad the ladies at Wylde Market Collective suggested La Condesa which is located right behind the market. My mom and I ordered margaritas. One traditional and the other one was blackberry hibiscus. Both were delicious. I also ordered the Potato Taquitos. Beautifully played and so fresh. I did think pickling the beets would add another layer of flavor to the dish but I am always grateful for a vegetarian option that has so much thought put into it! Will definitely be going back. The staff were very friendly. Decor was nicely done and the lighting was perfect.

I have been here twice once with coworkers and once with my mother in law and had a great time each time. Early on it's pretty quiet but I can see how it might get louder as the evening progresses. Our waitress was attentive while doubling as bartender. We couldn't decide so we ordered a bunch of things to share. The ahi tostada and pork belly bao were our favorites. We also enjoyed the pear salad, the pear pizza (in a pear mood), and the fish tacos. Honestly everything was great fish tacos were underwhelming in the face of how great everything else was. I had the don't tell me what to do and my partner and his mom had mojitos. My drink was great there's was ok.

I choose to come here for my birthday dinner this year after visiting a few times previously. An important note- Parking is extremely tough. There are probably 8 parking spots in front, otherwise you will need to park in the area. It was much busier than expected and although we made reservations we had to wait for our table still. For the birthday guest (myself) they play a drum sound while bringing the cake out which is so fun. Our waiter was exceptionally nice and catered to our party of seven. I left them my birthday cake that I made as part of a thank you for serving us, and he was so excited it made my night. I wish they had more vegetarian options as I love the drinks and atmosphere, but don't have many choices. On previous menus they show vegetarian chicken wings, which would be incredible but I never got to try. I usually get the pear and prosciutto pizza with no prosciutto, which ironically used to be on the menu as a pear and arugula pizza. Although I have to make this change, the pizza is absolutely fantastic. It's an incredible flavor and I fall in love with it every time, even getting the same item. Their potato taquitos are also to die for. They are one of the best appetizers on any menu in town, which says a lot for foodies like us, especially when I don't often like deep fried items. The shell is not thick and hard like most fried items, it's simply a means to hold the deliciously soft potato inside. The best part of all is the many toppings, garnishes, and sauces on top. It is so flavorful it is mind blowing. For a taquito there is truly nothing like it. They outdo themselves on this one. Overall we have come here quite a few times and will keep returning. The service has always been great, food never disappoints, and price is decent for special occasions. Thank you for a great birthday! I appreciate you all!

We had been meaning to visit La Condesa Eatery for quite a while now and the perfect date night opportunity presented itself. We made a reservation online for indoor seating and were given plenty of time options for a Tuesday evening. We found free street parking close by and as we walked through the outdoor patio area, we imagined how wonderful it would be to sit outside during the warmer months. We were pleasantly greeted by the hostess and our waiter and were informed of the Tuesday happy hour specials - $5 draft beers and 3 for $12 street tacos (either Al pastor or carne asada). For cocktails, we ordered the Guava Margarita and Mambo Italiano - both delicious! For food, we ordered (to share) the homemade chips and salsa (with both red and green sauce), the taco special (carne asada), the pork belly bao steam buns, and the Macha-ahi tostada. Everything was fresh and full of flavor! We cannot wait to go back!

It's a great spot for socializing with friends and family. The appetizers and entrees are shareable, which is what we did with a group of five so we could all taste more dishes. My favorites were the shrimp arepa and octopus, but everything tasted good. The salad dressings were perfectly balanced and just the right tangy sweetness. Service was perfect. Our waitress was patient with us. They had $6 margaritas, which we all took advantage of as they were not made with a pre-made mix. All in all, I would definitely return, perhaps in the summer to dine on the patio.

Delicious food and lovely environment. We had the cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, and Korean bbq rice. The pork belly is a delicious addition on the burger and rice. Everything is fresh and super flavorful. The drinks were also amazing, I had the tamarindo which wasn't my favorite (not my cup of tea) but the la sirena drink my boyfriend got was absolutely delicious. Our server was attentive and very friendly. Highly recommend

I was a bit disappointed when I last went to La Condesa considering it was a highlight on the Yelp food tour. I love how they put a spin on a lot of different dishes however, I feel like they went a bit to far on some and they didn't understand the assignment. The calamari was over cooked but the presentation looked good but I've had better. The Mac n cheese was better than most restaurant Mac n cheese but was still was missing something and had to much going on. For me the highlight was the drink it was so good! I wanted another but it was later in the evening so I didn't get one but I could've had multiple. Outside of the food the service was good we had a large group and they were very accommodating! I will be back as I know they could do better! Many of the menu items I wanted they were out of so another reason to go back.

Met a friend here for an early dinner and La Condesa Eatery lived up to it's "top 100" reputation! Not too busy for a 6:00 pm dinner on a weekday, we were able to get outdoor seating on a beautiful Reno summer night. Reservations are easily made on La Condesa's Eatery's website. For starters, had a nice cold brew, lots of selections. For dinner, I chose the exotic mushroom taco which had a lot of lavor and are served on hand made corn tortillas. My friend had the roasted beet salad with pork belly. The server was friendly. People poured in as the evening progressed. Really enjoyed the venue and the meal! Couple that with our beautiful summer evening and good company and it was perfect!

We love this place! Have been with a group two weeks in a row before a Nevada game and they never disappoint. Chips and salsa to start spot on. Octopus app is one of the best I've had! Love the taco options, salads with different protein options. Service is great!

My husband and I found a new to us gem in Midtown Reno. We arrived right before happy hour was over (4:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m. weeknights) and sat at the bar. It happened to be National tequila day so margaritas were $8.00 each. The bartender was very friendly and took our orders and made our drinks. It was a super fun vibe with a large patio outside. Our bartender Cianna told us they have live music Wednesday nights. We ordered the French onion macaroni and cheese, a Caesar salad and the shrimp tacos- all off the happy hour menu. We enjoyed it all as well as our yummy margaritas. My only regret was I didn't take more photos. We will be back again soon!

Everyone talks about this hidden gem in the Wells District and my first visit was not until the Yelp Top 100 Food Crawl! After visiting, I knew I had to go back and try it for real ASAP! I made a reservation for 4 on a Friday night and it's a good thing I did! For before the dinner rush, the place was still relatively busy with customers even seated in the patio area. The parking is a challenge but it must have been our lucky day because I was able to snag one of the three spots available right in front of the gate. I'm not a huge fan of fusion cuisine which is probably why it took me so long to visit but surprisingly everything came together really well! We started with cocktails and ordered the Blackberry Hibiscus Margarita, the Guava Margarita, the LCE Mojito with prickly pear, and the Mambo Italiano. While all the drinks were fun and refreshing my favorite of the group was the Mambo Italiano. I was so surprised! For a bourbon based cocktail it was fruity, refreshing and not heavy at all and complimented our food. We ordered a bunch of things to try and shared everything family style and had everything come out as it was ready. From the appetizers we got the Spanish Octopus, the Pork Belly Bao Buns, the Lamb Kafta-Bao Buns. For the main dishes we ordered the Tako Meshi, the La Condesa Carbonara, the Exotic Mushroom Al Pastor Tacos, and the Fish Tacos. The Baos were both soft and fluffy on the outside and generously stuffed with meat. The pork belly was tender and flavorful and the lamb tasted like well seasoned kabobs. The Spanish Octopus and the Tako Meshi had to be my top dishes of the night. Visually, the Spanish Octopus was the showstopper. You have to get a bite of octopus, sausage, and potato all together! The Tako Meshi we almost didn't order since we already had an octopus dish but I'm so glad we got it because it was super flavorful with the salsa, leeks, and pork belly coming together for a very good fried rice. The fish tacos and the carbonara were both solid but the mushroom al pastor was very interesting. I'd never considered mushrooms for al pastor but the flavor paired very well with the texture of the mushrooms. Overall, we had a great experience. The staff was friendly and food was a bit pricey but very tasty and so unique! My favorite part had to be that everything on the menu was so interesting and truly original. Glad La Condesa Eatery is part of our local restaurant scene!

I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a while, ever since I've seen all the hype about it. I came here for dinner with one of my friends and I was pleasantly surprised! What a cute hole in the wall restaurant with a spacious outdoor patio and fun Saturday night vibes. We started with the guava margarita and it was fruity and refreshing. We also ordered chips and quac as an appetizer, which did not disappoint! We ordered the fish tacos and the carbonara to share for dinner, as we couldn't decide on one thing with such a varietal menu. Both were outstanding! The fish was fresh and beer battered to a nice crisp. The sauce on the tacos complimented it well. The carbonara was amazing as well - I couldn't get enough of it! The waitress was friendly and gave good recommendations. We would have ordered dessert - but the check was brought to us before we had the chance. Next time! Would love to come back and try more of their menu.

We only found La Condessa because of Yelp and we're so happy we did. It was mid afternoon and not busy at all. Our server, Mar, was very sweet and gives great service. My husband had the pork belly bao steamed buns and I had the shrimp tacos. Both meals were delicious. I had read on the reviews that the shrimp tacos were messy, and they were. But it was a wonderful messy. My husband really enjoyed the steamed buns. We definitely will be going back. The only issue was there was no parking immediately available. Worth a walk!

So happy we finally were able to try this place. We were so happy with the food, service and overall vibes. We started off with the chips and queso, it was delicious but spicy. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were so delicious but definitely spicier than I thought so be aware. My husband ordered the steak tacos and he loved them. I really enjoyed the vibes of the restaurant, I loved the art and old school music videos playing on the TV.

Date night with the hub - great spot for that! Unique drinks with great food, what more can you ask for? Friendly staff and quick service, on point. We had the ceviche, the arepa and a pear pizza, all super delicious but the ceviche was the best, texture was super soft and buttery with the right acidity. We shared all but it was too much so caution if you fill up quick.

We went in on a Friday for an early Mother's Day dinner and the food and drinks were good as usual. We ordered wings, fries, Mac and cheese, chips and salsa, taquitos, fried rice and the mushroom pastor tacos. All of them were pretty good. I really enjoyed the mezcal old fashion which had a special name that I cannot recall. The one thing I really wish is that they had a bigger parking lot. I highly recommend this place if you haven't tried it.

We were in Reno and decided to go for lunch to a place we had only once visited during the Yelp Top 100 Food Crawl...we're glad we picked La Condesa! Here's what we liked: - It was a Wednesday and there were plenty of open tables at lunchtime, so we were seated immediately. - Our server brought a carafe of water to our table so that we could refill our glasses ourselves, something that is a pet peeve with other places where you have to wait to get refilled. - We ordered the Chips and Salsa, Ahi Ceviche, and the Prosciutto and Pear Pizza. Man, the salsa was incredible...so much so that I took our leftover salsa home...one of the best salsa's I've had at a restaurant in a long time. My wife split the other two dishes and both were excellent. The Ceviche was so fresh and tasty, and the pizza was wonderful...a different type of pizza crust, but so good tasting! - Service was excellent...our server brought out each item separately, which enabled us to stretch out our meal, and kept tabs on our progress without coming by our table too often. Prices are definitely a little higher (note that the chips cost $5, but our server brought us a few extra chips when the bowl was empty) but we felt like the quality of the food warranted the costs. Bottom line: Great good, nice vibe...we'll be back!

One of my favorite dinner and cocktail spots in town! Each time I've been to La Condesa, I have been impressed. Service is excellent and both the indoor and outdoor seating is comfy. The restaurant's decor boasts a fun, funky and artistic vibe. They have a decent cocktail menu with some honorable mentions including "The Mamba" and "Don't tell me what to do". They also usually have a cocktail on special. Last night it was a pomegranate margarita and it was sweet and tart! I ordered the La Condesa Carbonara for my main which is delicious (I've had it on a few occasions). It's creamy and comforting. My husband loves the Black angus ribeye tacos as well and has ordered them on a few occasions. A great appetizer is the tako meshi and I've had it as my main before and have been pleased! Overall, this is a great spot to spend your Friday night!

So this place was recommended to me by a foodie friend. First you'll notice that it's in a little bit of an odd location so expect to park on the street. The atmosphere was one of the things that stood out to me. Great vibe and people were enjoying themselves. They had an eclectic menu. Choices included Italian cuisine, to Asian to fusion to American. It was a little pricey though. Add a drink and two meals will run you about $65 not including tip. My daughter ordered the ceviche and it was a generous serving. And she really enjoyed it. I ordered the burger, it was good. Juicy, charred and gory with cheese. A fancy burger. I washed it down with a Guava rum drink. It was refreshing but sweet. The service was mediocre. She tried, but seemed distracted. I ordered my drink and it didn't come out until our food was served. That was not cool. Otherwise, I'd recommend trying this place. There were a few items on the menu that intrigued me enough to be open to trying it again. Bon Appetite!

A very unique menu. The octopus was excellent. Everything we've had there is really good. The staff is very engaging. It does get noisy as the night goes on. So for an old fart like me I like to go early.

Wow! What a fantastic restaurant. The fusion foods span multiple cultures and are very well done. The ambiance is fun like with posters of rock stars and interesting music. Our service was great! We had fun cocktails and interesting dishes. We liked the Korean fried rice. The shrimp tacos were excellent with an umami sauce. Also I think this was the best chips and salsa in town. Those chips definitely tasted home made. We will be back. We had a great time with friends and kids. This would also be a great date spot also.

I can see why this place ranks across the nation. The food is fantastic and delicious. The service is very friendly and hospitable. We've been there three times and the food, service, and ambiance is consistently above par. I love their chicken wings and ceviche. It's a bit noisy but the food and service and did I say great cocktails make it a winner. Love their homemade chips too.

Amazing food, attentive and friendly staff, beautiful restaurant!! Stopped in with larger group (reservations with open table) and enjoyed great tasting and quality food! We had the chips and salsa/guacamole for app, cauliflower ceviche, as well as the garlic Parmesan wings (best wings ever!) and fries. Entrees included several fancy but tasty cocktails, pear and prosciutto pizza and salad, burger (with pork belly) and regular fries. Wait staff made many excellent recommendations for food and drink. Restaurant is smallish, so recommend reservation for larger groups. Make this a must stop in the area for a casual or romantic evening.

Stopped by for lunch with my son based on recommendations from his co-workers and the Yelp! reviews. We ordered the fish tacos (3) and the Black Angus ribeye tacos (3) ($44). Unfortunately, I felt both dishes lacked flavor and were underwhelming. My lunch was just satisfactory; there are better places for tacos at a much better price, such as Anna's Taqueria. Perhaps we picked the wrong items today.

We arrived when it was totally dead and were seated in our own little room off to the right. I think they forgot they seated us, because we waited for a little over 15 minutes and didn't get to a drink order. We were pretty hungry, so we decided to try another day and head up the street to Cosmos.

My friends and I are still talking about this place three days after enjoying an amazing dinner there. Our group of 7 had a reservation for 5:30 on a Friday night which I recommend because the place gets packed. We decided to order a bunch of items and just share and I am so glad that we did, because we were able to try many unique flavors. We ordered: tiger shrimp mac and cheese, octopus, yellowfin ceviche, tiger prawns, and potato taquitos. The house wine and my "Don't Tell Me What to Do" cocktail were wonderful. With that not being enough, we ordered the mushroom tacos, black angus rib eye tacos, and shrimp tacos. Some of us ended up taking a few of the tacos home for leftovers because we were stuffed. Our waitress had a great sense of humor and was helpful when we asked for suggestions on what to order.

La condesa is our go-to date night spot! This hidden gem in the alley on Wells is a must-visit for foodies. The Mexican Korean fusion cuisine is a delightful blend of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The staff are incredibly friendly and the speakeasy-style ambiance adds a touch of charm to the experience. The Kobe beef ravioli is simply divine - rich, flavorful, and a must-try. And the cocktails? Unique and delicious, they're the perfect complement to the food. La condesa is hands down one of our favorite spots in town. And a bonus is that it is very reasonably priced.

La Condesa, one of my new FAVORITE spots! The vibe is so cool, and I enjoy their decor. I love this restaurant so much. I have been here a few times, and finally came around to a review. I can't emphasize enough how amazing the pork bao buns are, they are one of my favorite appetizers! Additionally, another constant go-to for me is the hibiscus margarita, it's definitely so delicious and I can't wait to get it again. My favorite salad is the Thai salad with added chicken, it's delicious and a hefty serving of food, I always opt for this dish! Not pictured, is the mushroom al pastor taco, another must have for me. The evening of this review, my husband got the rib eye tacos, and they were delicious! Each order of tacos and additionally the bao buns, come in an order of three each. But the servings are hefty and you'll definitely enjoy each dish! The staff were so helpful, they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation, but I highly emphasize how important it is to have a reservation. Especially during peak days. One item to note is the small parking spaces, you may have to park elsewhere, but the food makes it worth it. The prices are somewhat high, but the elevated dining experience definitely is worth it, and you can't go wrong with any item you choose on the menu. I can't wait to come back!

I absolutely LOVE the vibe of this spot. La Condesa's decor has an edgy, pop Spanish theme, and it's been a go-to for me in the past month. Last week I got the Chilaquiles dish, and my gf got their seafood paella which just so happened to be the Thursday dish special! The Prickly Pear Mojito is my favorite drink there, but they have a nice menu of other speciality cocktails to choose from, along with wines and beer. My scoop on the chilaquiles: I liked it, but it could be better. I wish there was more than one egg, because with the amount of chips in the dish, you run out of egg quickly. The dish consisted of tortilla chips, salsa and lettuce, with some red onion, and the one egg. The side of bread that came with it was actually quite nice (it tasted homemade) and I used it to scoop up some of the salsa in the dish - yum! I didn't love that the chips were soggy once I received the dish, but perhaps that was by design? I personally wish they were still crisp. I also wish it had come with either the rice or beans (or both) that this dish is traditionally made with. It felt empty without these. My girlfriend loved the paella. I can't speak on the taste because I'm not a seafood gal, but I'll just say that the serving size was enough for two people and she took her leftovers home. I've always experienced great service here, so give stars to the wonderful staff!

I had always seen the bistro lights from the roundabout on Wells, and after 6 years of living in Reno, finally got to visit for our anniversary! I was blown away by the menu and flavors. My favorite dish was the Tiger Prawn Arepa and I am still thinking about my Guava Margarita. The employees were super kind and accommodating. The restaurant is definitely packed on the weekend, so I look forward to visiting during summer with the patio seating. This place is very cute and I look forward to bringing visiting family here.

I can't believe it's taking me this long to check out La Condesa Eatery. I went for a late dinner yesterday and was absolutely blown away by the food and the service. The octopus was grilled to perfection and I love the sauces that came with it. Only thing was kind of weird to have potatoes with octopus. I would've loved to see more summery vegetables with it. my friend and I split the steak tacos, which were very good. The absolute star of the show was the ceviche. Beautiful presentation absolutely incredible flavor. My picture is a little dark because we ordered it last. It's an absolute must have. I asked the waiter to make me a mock tail and they used this delicious hibiscus syrup that would be in a margarita. It was perfect, not too sweet and very refreshing. We ate outside, which was lovely. The inside is decorated so cute. I love the vibe. Will definitely come back again.
