Taquería Condesa opened late summer 2025. The name “Condesa” pays homage to La Condesa, one of Mexico City’s most creative, design-forward neighborhoods, known for its Art Deco architecture, and vibrant culture.
When guests walk in, they experience an ambiance that feels fun and welcoming. Taquería Condesa is chic and stylish, but it maintains the warmth and soul of a true taquería. We like to say it’s “sexy, welcoming, and full of sabor.”
The flavors and ingredients of Mexico City, draw heavily from recipes that owner Leonel Baizan grew up with in his family’s kitchen. Handmade nixtamal tortillas, slow-cooked meats, bright housemade salsas, and chiles imported from Mexico - are just some of the components that define the menu. Along with Mexican flavors, Taquería Condesa brings the spirit of community and creativity that defines La Condesa CDMX.
They offer an assortment of appetizers, a section devoted to quesadillas, nachos, and burritos, and sides like rice and beans, but tacos are the heart of this menu. They offer 11 different varieties available in orders of two or three. The drink list features craft cocktails, Mexican beer and sodas, Aguas Frescas, and housemade margaritas, served frozen or on the rocks, with flavor options like mango, strawberry, or passion fruit. Their dessert section features churros.
We enjoy a good taco and with a number of delicious options, we suggest that you try - Birria: slow-cooked brisket with Oaxaca cheese, onions, cilantro, and consommé, Pescado: panko-crusted cod with red and green cabbage and jalapeño mayo, and Hongos: a satisfying vegan option made with mushrooms, beans, onions, and cilantro.
To enhance your taco experience, add generous helpings of Taquería Condesa’s house-made salsas (salsa verde, chile de árbol, and smoky) to absolutely everything. It’s also recommended that diners should try: Guacamole & Chips; Elote Asado (corn on the cob with chipotle mayo, queso fresco, Tajín, and lime); and Flautas Doradas (fried corn tortillas stuffed with a choice of filling and topped with crema, guac, pico, and queso fresco).
Pair your meal with a non-alcoholic treat, the aguas frescas – Tamarind, Horchata, and Jamaica (Hibiscus) – are refreshing and delicious. For cocktails, enjoy their Pepino: cucumber purée, silver tequila, lime, and agave; Beso Rojo: tequila or mezcal with hibiscus, pomegranate, orange, lime, and agave; and Avenida Amsterdam: pineapple purée, Grand Marnier, lime, and orange juice with tequila or mezcal.
Make sure that you enjoy their Happy Hour which runs Monday-Friday until 7 PM.
