El Condor

Neighborhood Mexican restaurant. Felt like it has a lot of repeat business from the people who live in the area and can simply walk from their homes. Staff appeared to know customers who walked in. Everything we ordered was good. The mushroom taco could have used a fat in it or a creamy sauce, so we added a dollop of the guacamole we ordered. Chips were fresh. All of the items we tried were hot and fresh. Staff was kind. Atmosphere is casual. Street parking is difficult in this area, especially on weekends. We parked several blocks down and walked back up Sunset. Definitely will go back.

Service and ambience were good but those were the only redeeming qualities.Mediocre tacos, flavorless rice and beans, forgetful elote, and cheese dip tasted like out of a velveeta or tostitos jar. The "fried fish" in my taco was concerning me given i couldn't taste the fried crispy part and the fish had no taste and smelled. Shrimp were watery. Trust the reviews that the food just isn't that great. Good chips though.... Paid 100 for disappointing food.

Rolled through on a Saturday afternoon and the vibes here are always great. Lots of table space as well as standing space, and there was a DJNachos are a must-have here, and the chips and salsa were really yummy. The carnitas tacos are loaded up and were honestly worth it for $7.50/each, I got a classic margarita and it was perfect. Our server was super kind, gave great recs, and took great care of our table. Parking in the area is a bit challenging, but you'll always find something if you're willing to walk a bit ;) mainly meters or residential parking (be aware of parking restrictions) The food, drinks, and vibes are consistently good every time I come. Highly recommend dropping in!

Went for happy hour on a Thursday. Pretty hip spot, bartenders are attentive to your drink levels and ready to replace it with a new one if asked. Once our party grew over three we moved outside, also someone had a baby and no babies allowed at the bar! Outdoor seating is wonderful for people watching as they walk by and the temperature is really nice on a summer evening. Free refills on chips but not on the salsa. The guac was great, you can tell that real avocados were involved. The salsa is smooth for the most part with a little chunks of tomato in it, the slightly spicy kick to it was addictive.I had a classic margarita with a salt rim and was happy with the tart refreshing flavor. Great prices for LA just parking is a bit of a hassle and might have a couple hours free in surrounding streets.

First time at El Condor! I'm from Texas, where we have great Tex mex and chill joints like this make me so happy. This place has some great food! And we went on Margarita Monday - drinks for 8$! The shrimp quesadilla was super tasty, I could tell the quality of cheese was excellent. The chicharrones were crispy and flavorful, the aioli was a nice touch for dipping. Service was nice, host was adorable and very kind. Our server was great & not overwhelming or obsequious. I got the asada taco and chorizo taco for my main meal. I wouldn't recommend the chorizo taco - it was too greasy & too rich for me. I enjoy chorizo in a breakfast taco but not just a big blob in a tortilla.. the asada was nice. Ambiance is great for people watching and the location is my favorite too in Silverlake - lots to do after dinner, if you want to go to more bars or dessert. I'll come back! Thanks for the good vibes :)

niki tank you for good service food is good. Good tacos good prices and I love the Music

First and foremost our hostess was amazing. We walked in on a Friday night (after striking out at Bacari) looking for a little impromptu dinner. Immediately our hostess said we had 2 options: 1 inside with a time limit as the table was reserved for a reservation and another table outside under a heat lamp that would be really warm and no time limit. She said the magical words: "really warm!" So, outside we went, to a little table on Edgecliffe with some 'dinner and a show' vibes from watching everyone try to park/wait/pick up. Service was a little slow- guess because it's a busy Friday night- which made me even more glad we picked the table without a time limit! The order in which our food arrived was a little different.. we got our appetizer 20 minutes after being seated, entrees a literal 5 minutes later, and lukewarm (would have been sooner & hotter but the food runner went to the wrong table, back to kitchen, then back to us) and *then* we got our drinks. I can't remember the last time drinks came last? I wanted to switch out my wine but almost didn't bc it took so long to get there lol. My brisket quesadilla, which was server recommended, was underwhelming. Not only was it just a few pieces of meat in an overwhelming amount of cheese, there wasn't any discernible flavor. And there was corn? Very strange! The rice and beans weren't anything special (I devoured them bc they came first with the appetizer instead of my entree and I was hungry) and I won't be ordering them again. In fact, I'd only come again for a glass of wine and more chicharrones. Those were actually delicious, well portioned & seasoned.

We really liked the ambiance and the service was really great. We got there for the Happy Hour and enjoyed the appetizers. The HH margaritas were delicious as well. The only downside is that the regular menu is kind of expensive. Although, the portions were good.

Very cool Mexican style restaurant and bar We got drinks by Joshua , he has a great attitude and know how to make delicious drinks A little dark inside, kind of romantic Music isn't too loud Will come back for sure !! Love it

You know I had low expectations for this place, BUT and a big BUT! Service was great! The Paloma was eh' but the passion fruit marg 100/10. The carne asada was perf! Nice and tender. Overall, absolutely recommend!
