| - I really love the idea of another taco spot in downtown, but Condado is lacking in many areas, namely service in comparison to La Palapa(food buggy), Bea's, Tako and Bakersfield. All of these places are worth going to ahead of Condado.
I booked reservations a few weeks ago for a group of 12 work colleagues. I asked about Happy Hour specials, and the lady working mentioned that they typically don't honor Happy Hour prices upstairs, but for this large of a group they'd be able to. When we got seated at our table, our waiter would not honor Happy Hour prices until the manager approved. Note: Happy Hour specials are apparently only honored in the downstairs bar, not upstairs for a traditional visit.
We ordered an abundance of food such as chorizo queso, traditional guacamole, and pineapple salsa to start. Our waiter, was pretty awkward and unable to take simple requests, most of the night. At one point, I literally had to take my 1/3 full margarita out of his hands because he took it from the table. His goal was to get us out of there as quick as possible. We ordered a good amount of tacos, and they were pretty average. Nothing stood out to me, but several folks mentioned they were worse tasting than the first time they ate here.
Lastly, when we got our check (all on one bill), the prices were wrong several times. When I go out to eat at an establishment, I want to be in a peaceful mentality, and enjoy my experience. My experience at Condado would've been better if I threw on a Condado tee and served my own table.
Needless to say, we won't be back any time soon!
