I'd heard that the Condado tacos were amazing, so I was only a little disappointed when I realized that their existence meant the very first restaurant I went to in Pittsburgh had disappeared (The Tonic Bar and Grill).
And the verdict that I reluctantly came to were that although the chips and salsas were exceptional, the tacos were not. After stuffing my face with chips and gushing about how they were the best I had - were they double fried? when the tacos came, I excitedly opened up the foil because well, tacos have a special place in my heart.
My first bite made me wonder if somewhere between drowning my margarita I had accidentally ordered a frozen taco. I tried to get over it and explore the unique flavors that I knew were there but it was extremely difficult to get past the initial disappointment.
However, their chips and salsa were satisfying, the margaritas pretty good, and the place has an artsy, edgy vibe - so all in all, a place worth hitting for happy hour, maybe not so much for a full course dinner.
