    Great food and great cocktails. The ambiance was lovely and the service was knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive. The queso flameado with short rib mole was sumptuous and delightful. The seafood tostadas (atun and la vida vuelta) were light and delicious, perfectly balanced with piquant spice and velvety avocado. The tlacoyo is a must try. Happy hour cocktails are half price and are all excellent. We have been coming to La Condesa since it opened in 2009, the year we got married. We no longer live in Austin, but we come back to La Condesa for special occasions when we are back in town. Highly recommend.

    Excellent hostess, server and valet. Delicious crab claws, Trout Almondine, dusty porch(? a mescal drink) and my date insisted on a cheesecake which we shared. Lavish dinner and lavishly priced. The high life! Worth it.
