The place was a couple of years old so it looked brand new. There was a heavy Mexican influence with Mexican music, pictures and staff.I had a Barbados burrito served as a bowl. The bowl was actually warm which I found as a nice touch. It had beans, rice, guacamole, meat and lettuce. I was plenty full so the portion size was more than enough. Once again parking was a concern. I parked in a neighboring parking lot but because it was a Sunday, I had to look for a space.I was looking for a variety platter so I could test a sampling of items. If they revise their menu, I would consider adding this as an entree.Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for Mexican cuisine.

I visited Condesa for the first time yesterday and was a bit underwhelmed. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with bar and standard seating available. The bar is well stocked, with a wide selection of tequilas. Parking was easy since there's plenty of spaces available in the plaza.We ordered shrimp ceviche, calamari, and street corn. This is where the experience started to go downhill.The shrimp ceviche was just okay but lacked the acidity and vibrant flavors you expect. The dish consisted of shrimp, cucumber, and avocado, without the added color and taste that ingredients like tomatoes, cilantro, and peppers could have provided.The calamari was a disappointment as well. The batter was really crunchy and hard. The texture overpowered the calamari itself. The sauces served with it were good.The street corn was the biggest letdown. It was overcooked, which gave it a mushy texture, and was overly acidic. This simple, classic dish missed the mark entirely, lacking the flavor and crunch you'd expect. The sticks used for the street corn were also useless, very flimsy. The service was very good. Our waiter was sweet and attentive. The highlight of the meal was the complimentary chips and salsa. Condesa has potential, but the flavors of the food need significant improvement as everything we tried was bland.

Visiting the area for work from NYC. Major storm rolled in, so place was packed. Hostess was amazing and let me know when a bar seat was open. Like. Cheers to her! Food was so good. Drinks amazing. Staff wonderful. If I ever find myself in this area again- I will 100% be back!

La Condesa in Watertown is a hidden gem for Mexican food that you don't want to miss. The restaurant has a very cool atmosphere, and both the food and service are amazing. We came to celebrate my partner's birthday, and the staff graciously held our cake in their refrigerator until we were ready for it, which we really appreciated.Everyone in our party ordered different dishes, and there was unanimous enjoyment across the board. We started with guacamole and chips, along with the salsa they provide. The salsa was delicious, and the guacamole was incredibly fresh. I had the chicken fajitas, which were brought out in a skillet, still sizzling hot with onions and green peppers. The dish was complemented perfectly with a tostada topped with black beans, rice, tortillas, a bit of salad, cheese, and cream. The drinks were delicious too, I definitely recommend their margaritas. Adding to the fun, there was a promotion going on, and I signed up and won a Codigo Tequila branded fire-pit. Thank you, La Condesa, for a wonderful evening. We can't wait to come back!

I think this restaurant should have more stars. The ambiance is great for a fun hangout with friends. Margaritas come in lots of great fresh fruit flavors, and there are tons of dishes that you can try. I'm a sucker for good refried beans- and these honestly remind me of what I've had in Mexico. Their rice is great too. & Those are just the basics! I think the steak is super flavorful- and recommend dishes with steak, if you like meat. We recently had super satisfying takeout from here, and were surprised that they added fresh chips as well. I also really liked the fresh tortillas that came with the dish, and enjoyed making tacos with steak, avocado, and the super spicy grilled jalapeño.

We walked in at 12:10 in our order wasn't taken until 12:49. I ordered a drink, a smoky pineapple, something, and it tasted like smoke water. I don't think there was any liquor in there at all, but they attempted. I asked if they need Margaritas Blended which the waitress replied yes but she brought it to me on the rocks and when I reminded her I wanted to Blended she told me they only do it on the Rocks so I just took the drink. I regret that I did because, again, it just tasted like Smoky water in ice. So after that long awake to order the food came pretty quickly and it was very mediocre, they give you beans and this tortilla shell which is kind of cute but it literally only is enough to cover the bottom of it which means it's a tiny bit of beans. I wasn't feeling the rice texture, but the taste wasn't really bad. I ordered fish tacos fried, and it was kind of dry. If you leave it in the taco, you will need sauce. The salmon was overcooked, so it had like a rubbery consistency. The veggie tacos were good. The service, if you have somewhere to go, doesn't come in because it's slow.

The food was very, very good! I do wish the sauce on the Chile wasn't as thick, but everything was delicious as always. My boyfriend had the Chile Lime Salmon and its one of our favorite dishes! The chipotle mashed potatoes are AMAZING! I also always appreciate any restaurant with good mocktails on their menu! Parking here is easy and the staff is super friendly! Also helps that they play great music!

The acoustics make for a very loud dinning experience. The tortilla soup came out warm with way too much salt. This was a one and done dinning experience, not to be repeated.

If six stars were available, they would get six. We have had great Mexican cuisine in NM, AZ, CA, and Mexico, but this place was over the top excellent. The shrimp ceviche was perfection (not a mean feat) and the chicken tortilla soup was a delicious and hearty meal all by itself. Everything we saw around us looked amazing. But it was the mole that sent this restaurant into the stratosphere. I have an obsession with mole. I could happily consume theirs on a nightly basis. Absolute perfection. The desserts were great; the flan is a must. The service was great. The vibe was great. Come to think of it - Seven stars.
