| - Condado is okay, but it's trying really hard to be Tako.
We were there at about 8pm last night and it was super loud and clubby, which okay, that's their vibe, but it was a Wednesday night at 8pm. It's just a hugely jarring change from Tonic, the establishment in the same location before. It was also very dark, which made it really hard to read the menus that are printed in teeny tiny font.
My husband and I have three advanced degrees between us and we genuinely couldn't figure out how to order the tacos - it's one of those papers where you check the things you want, but it's really unclear how it works and how you order - go online and look at their menu and you'll see what I mean. I couldn't even figure out where the nachos were (under "tortillas," listed as "tortillas fritas" in like 4 point font - not the first place I'd look to find nachos).
The tacos came and they were good. Not fantastic but solid. The nachos came and were *so incredibly annoying.* It was enough nachos to fill a big platter, as nachos are typically served, but they were piled 8 inches high into a tiny little basket. Picking up just one made a huge mess, and about 10 nachos in, we just gave up because food was going everywhere.
On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and the decor (think many, many skulls) is pretty cool. More tacos in my mouth is always a good thing, but I think Bakersfield, about 100 feet away, is a more solid choice.
