Updating my review specifically to call out Condado on their reaction to my post. Upon seeing my review they reached out to me to get me in contact with their food safety manager. He took down a report regarding my experience with finding plastic in my taco. I can appreciate a company willing to investigate and better themselves.
Good experience coming back this time around. I tried out the bowl for the first time -- good amount of food and easy to personalize. I would get it again. -

Our waitress came out to take our order and then someone else brought out our food and after waiting almost 30 minutes for the check she finally came back.
The service was horribly slow. And now they charge $1.50 for chips and salsa and you have to ask for it. Our waitress didn't ask if we wanted any.
She was terrible,I would not recommend this to anyone. Go to the short north location instead! -

I REALLY REALLY REALLY wanted to like this place. I really did... my experience here was a 1/5 stars, well if Yelp allowed for me to have a 0/5 star review- it would be that. There are several reasons why I am giving them 1/5 stars, they are the following: ambiance, service, drink, food (quality and presentation) and overall experience. If you want all the details, keep reading. TL;DR? Slow service, bland and stale food, unkempt tables, and just not a good time.
For context, I visited this location around 4:15 pm on a Friday evening. It was rather warm outside so my friend and I decided to sit at the patio. When we first went into the restaurant, we were greeted by an unenthusiastic host whom led us to a high top table. We were given a menu and we waited for our waiter to come by. We were greeted a few minutes later by our waiter who took my drink order (house margarita) and then went to grab us some waters. We needed a bit more time to decide on our tacos, but we put in an order for queso and chips. A few minutes later we placed our orders for tacos and received the queso and chips. At this point, I had still not received the house margarita I had ordered also 15 minutes earlier.
The queso arrived with a film like substance on the top - almost like it had been scooped and left to cool for a prolonged period of time. The queso had a glue like consistency and a very flat and salty flavor. There was not much depth to it The chips that it was served with were stale. Not like they had just sat out after being fried for a few hours, but like someone had left them out for DAYS. Additionally, a lot of the chips we received were broken and it make it extremely hard to eat all the queso.
We had made our way through half the basket of chips when I finally got my house margarita. If you like drinking sour mix that has no tequila in it- this margarita is for you. I didn't even drink the majority of it until we were standing up to leave (mainly because I hate wasting drinks I paid for). I would highly recommend NOT ordering a drink and saving your money for another alcoholic beverage elsewhere.
For tacos, I ordered one of The Mantis and one of the El Santo. The Mantis has a "sweet lucy" shell which is a corn shell wrapped in a flour tortilla and is filled with jack fruit, onions, tomatoes, cheese and a mango habanero sauce. The jack fruit was pretty bland and the only flavor I got from the taco was a flat spice. Generally, I look for spice to slowly build or have at least more depth than just "spicy". I would not recommend this taco if you aren't a lover of jack fruit/care for no flavor. The El Santo has the same shell that the Mantis had except for it was filled with roasted chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, queso fresco, salsa roja and condado secret sauce. The only secret about this taco is that is was unmemorable. Why have a secret about it if no one wants to know about it? Maybe I just chose two of their worse tacos, but at this point I was just ready to leave.
Prior to leaving, I took a trip to their bathrooms that are located in the back corner of the restaurant. While walking towards the bathrooms, I noticed a lot of tables that had not be cleaned off even through the restaurant was not that busy. In addition, there was a table with wrappers and leftover cups from other establishments.... This detracted from my already poor perspective on Condado and I can confidently say that I would NEVER recommend this place to someone that I like as a person. -

So I lived in Cleveland for awhile and Barrios was one of my all time favorite restaurants. If y'all are familiar with Barrios it is exactly the same concept, design and food options.
I may be biased because I loved Ohio City SO much but the food was just not as good.
Drinks- had a mezcal marg which was tasty and I'd get again.
They do have a happy hour until 7 on weekdays.
Food- got chips and guacamole. Chips were thick tortilla style- crisp and fresh. The guacamole tho was NoT the same. It seemed pureed and made in bulk. Wasn't bad but wasn't special in any way.
Tacos - I got a chorizo in the spicy hard taco shell. Was impressed that the taco shell was actually quite spicy and I'd get it again. Also got a shrimp soft taco.
Two was plenty.
Service - good.
Overall doesn't hold up to Barrios standard (maybe because there are so many now) but still good.
Great for groups or a casual date. -

I absolutely love Condado, and this is probably my most frequented location!
First the positives: always have had great tasting food, great portion sizes, tasty margaritas and everything is priced very fairly for the portions/area. There is also a lot of seating, both indoor and outdoor.
The cons: the only con I have is sometimes the service is confusing and not uniform. For instance, at my last visit, I got two margaritas but one came with sugar on the rim and one came without even though I ordered the exact same thing. I've worked in the service industry so I understand the concept of food runners and such but it was so chaotic when I went that no one knew who was getting what and stuff didn't come out for the group all at one time, which I think could be improved upon.
All in all, condado is still awesome and I'll definitely be back!
