   This was one of the top 10 meals of my life. I loved every single dish. They were creative and comforting and spicy and colorful and uniquely presented. I couldn't love this restaurant more. The service was fantastic, the cocktails were spicy and smokey (and half-off because of happy hour). LOVE LOVE LOVE this restaurant.

   Love this place. Been there 100 times. One of the best in Austin. Get the Sikil Pak and the Queso with short rib and the Cochinita Pibil

   I took a risk on booking a restaurant I have not been to before for a business dinner. The goal was to bring authentic nicer dinner option to celebrate and end the year after my team accomplished some big goals. Overall experience was subpar at best. Service we were neglected for extended periods of time with 0 refills in the over 2 hrs dining experience. I wasn’t allowed a chance to order all at one time but asked to wait to order entrees and items later versus placing an order and having it all spread out. Dining experience was 2hrs not by choice but speed of service. Several items were over salted and corn chips were too dense to eat. Few items were tasty but over the 15 items we order most were bland and not authentic as stated. I would have opted for other options knowing what were would have received. I would remove this from a Michelin Guide recommendation as ATX has a lot more better options

   Amazing service and friendly staff. The homemade tortillas are incredible and their happy hour specials were a fun surprise.

   Service was not very good….food was not described adequately to know what we were getting and the wait staff did a very mediocre job.

   Their happy hour is my favorite excuse to not cook dinner during the week. The Condesa margarita has to be my favorite cocktail in all of Austin, and my favorite weekday happy hour treat! The service here is always top notch, and the ingredients are always fresh!

   Their service was bit on slower side took long time to attend at our table, food was good but not extraordinary compared to the price. The two things I really liked was huarache de huitlacoche and the Tres de Leches cake.

    GO! La Condesa is a bit hard to find without major signage (though at the corner) but DEFINITELY worth circling the block for a parking space! Every section of the menu has multiple, unique, delicious, options with layers and layers of flavors and beautiful presentations. Upscale versions of Mexican inspired dishes were a treat. If I lived in Austin, I’d go weekly for the chicken with reduction sauce made from butternut squash, lemon, cilantro and much more.
