I've "Condado-ed" in Columbus, OH and Indianapolis, IN in the last 10 years, and both were four-star experiences. Therefore, I was expecting something similar from this Grand Rapids location. I was pleasantly surprised that this Condado brought their A-game. The service and drink + food quality were 5/5. Our bartender was attentive and made a lovely spicy margarita. The two vegetarian options were spot-on. Both had nice heat and were packed with fillings yet also didn't spill out with each bite. Also, I love how the two shells are glued with either queso or guacamole so that it can be vegan-accessible. I'm already looking forward to another experience here and hope to build my own bomb taco. read more

This is a great place to get together with friends, or to bring out of town guests, because it is so vibrant, and there is something for everyone on the menu. Parking can be problematic at this downtown site, especially for people with mobility issues. We go several times a year just ourselves, but just the other day took all the adult kids with us and had a wonderful time. Food is consistently very fresh and delicious. Service this time was also great so that always adds to a good time. read more

unfortunately i was hangry when i arrived so being told there was no guac hurt a little more than usual. the chips were cold and desperately needed salt. it looks like the salt was all at the bottom of the chip basket which was unfortunate. i also didn't love the tomatillo salsa but i just think it was a poor choice on my end. without the guac i was thrown off. i wish we would have tried the house salsa instead. the thai chili tofu was really good but overall the burrito was pretty dry without a creamy component. the only creamy vegan option is guac and unfortunately they were out. i thought the food was very reasonably priced. just didn't hit for me. i do love that the menu is very clearly labeled with vegan, vegetarian, etc. - so so helpful read more

I really enjoyed this place for a lunch spot in downtown Grand Rapids! They have a pretty extensive menu with so many different options and ways to try tacos and burritos, but everyone's food looked good! I feel like it was an elevated funky Taco Bell, haha. My group ate outside and it was nice and spacious, but the indoor area also looked really fun! This is a quick 15 min walk from the convention center. read more

It's a fun time, environment, and place! It's huge, would be great for a large party, and has a large outdoor space in the back as well. The food is a fun spin on Mexican tacos! Wouldn't go in thinking it's authentic street tacos but instead it has multiple layers and flavors to it. Very saucey which I like. You can also build your own! Loveeeee the horchata Great service, the team is super nice! read more

This was the second time I went to eat at Condado Tacos. The first time, I thought the tacos were fine, but was expecting more because people would often rave about this place. Well, I went here a second time and got two tacos: Lucy's Fire (a chicken taco) and Braised and Confused (a brisket taco). And bowza! They were so good!! It was such a pleasant surprise, and goes to show you that it's best to go to the same place a couple times to to make a proper review. Lucy's Fire had a nice kick to it, and I thought the other ingredients like lettuce, onions, cilantro, etc really complimented well with the way they cooked the chicken. They tasted fresh and I liked the crispy nature of the veggies. Braised and Confused was my favorite though. The brisket was very juicy and flavorful (I'm trying not to drool as I'm typing this) and I liked how hot it was when I ate it. I'd get this one again, I most definitely would recommend this one! Overall, I'm happy I went again. I love tacos and am always on the hunt for good ones around the area. read more

This place really stuck out to me in a sea of so many food options in Grand Rapids. The wall murals here are what really caught my eye, followed by the unique setup. There is a large garage-door that also acts as a large window when pulled down. When the garage-like door is up, it allows a nice breeze to waft into the restaurant. There is an outdoor patio where you can sit and it is pet friendly. Staff is friendly, the area we were seating was clean, and the bathroom was well kept up with as far as cleanliness as well. The menu is fairly large with many taco, nacho, and bowl options. They also have a single item for their kids menu, which may seem limited but really a kid can get any item on the menu that isn't alcohol. The drink menu is also quite sizeable. They have margaritas, cocktails and even mocktails for those who like the taste of cocktails but don't drink alcohol. Also cans and bottles of various beers, White Claw seltzer, and a house white wine and a house red wine are available. I ended up going with a soda for my drink but the house horchata will definitely be ordered on my next visit. I did a build your own tacos with flour tortilla, Tex-mex ground beef, cilantro, onion and cheddar cheese. I got 2 tacos and ate them so quickly I forgot to get a photo. I will admit it can get rather crowded in here which set off my anxiety a bit, but there is a reason they are busy. Despite being anxious I finished my food in record time, which is a rarity for me. I'm excited to come back and try more of the menu. read more

Stopped by with my SIL to partake in their Flights of Flavors offerings. We each got the margarita flight and the Jalapeno Margarita was my favorite! The Blood Orange came in close second. The margaritas are served in fairly big glasses, so it's worth getting if you like margaritas! Our server was super chill and didn't try to rush us out when they closed, which we really appreciated. We'll have to stop by again to try their food! read more

Condado Tacos - Flights of Flavor - Margarita Flight - Tacos Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Wow, this place is amazing. We stopped in for lunch and the menu covers a lot. I opted for 3 tacos because I had to try them. Bigger than typical street tacos, 3 was a heavy lunch portion but it was worth it. I chose steak, chicken and pork because I wanted a well rounded opinion and each of them popped with layers of flavor. We also grabbed a side of street corn to split and it was a sizable portion for 2. Total lunch bill for 2 was just over $30. I could grab lunch here every day of the week. Get to it if you haven't been! read more

What a cool place! Love the decor and the unique (and delicious!) food and drink. Came during happy hour so the tacos are $1 off. Tacos are HUGE, they're almost like a burrito cut in half! Baja shrimp was my favorite. Shrimp is cooked super well. 2 filled me up. I also tried the Bad Habit taco which was also good. I love how they put the soft and hard shells together; it adds some nice crunch. I also got a house marg which was $6 during happy hour. Had the option of a sugar or salt rim which was nice. The house marg was quite strong ehehehe. Service was friendly and speedy! read more

Before visiting Candado the first time I heard totally polarized reviews. People would either say it was The Best Place Ever, or that it was fine, but really just glorified T--- B---. I would definitely rate it on the higher end, if just for the margaritas and agua frescas!! I'm not a huge tequila fan, but the agua frescas are basically just sparkling water with any tequila flavoring. I had a prickly pear agua fresca, and it was absolutely delightful! I really think on future visits I'll just keep having these instead of alcohol. I also think it's really nice to have options like this available for people who don't drink. On my recent visit my friend and I split the fire-roasted elote dip with chips. It's pretty good, considering I'm not the biggest queso fan. For dinner I had the fire-roasted street bowl, which is a new limited time feature item. It was very good, though I asked for the cilantro-lime aoili on the side and it was definitely all over the bowl, as well as on the side; I think she thought I wanted extra when I actually wanted none. It was fine, but next time I'd probably say something. Previously I had tried a couple different tacos, and they were pretty good, but tacos aren't my favorite thing. I think the bowls are where it's at, so I'll stick to those going forward. If you like Mexican or Mexican-style food I would definitely recommend giving them a try! (And go for an agua fresca while you're there). read more

My +1 went for a morning walk to Candado Tacos. They're located outside of downtown GR across the river. We didn't have time to sit down, so we ordered to go. For starters, we got the traditional 1/2 order of chips with some green salsa. The amount of chips they give is incredible. Massive bag full of crispy tortilla chips that don't fall apart when dipping them. Green salsa verde nice and mild. We ordered 4 tacos. I'm from California, so these tacos were far more expensive than I'm used to. Some had a hard shell and some had that old Taco Bell style with a soft on the outside and hard center. Meat was flavorful, but I did think one of tacos was too sweet. The carnitas and pineapple one was a good kind of sweet. read more

SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: 4 DRINK QUALITY: 4 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 4.71 Such a fun and hip taco joint. We were able to get a table right on the street in the wonderful sun. The staff was very excited to be working there. The place was packed with taco lovers in the front and on the back porch. Their menu is very extensive with many taco options. They also specialize in tequila. If you want a quality tequila then you should give this place a visit. The tacos are very large and packed full of the specified ingredients. I love how they use a hard shell/soft shell and put cheese in-between them. It is soooo good. Overall a great experience with quality tacos and drinks. The inside is fun with great art. Definitely a go back to spot. read more

Service - top notch. Drinks - pretty good (a little overpriced if you ask me, BUT they do $5 margaritas on Mondays) Taco selection- nice variety, good ingredients, a lot of their tacos are soft+hard shell combos The ambience has a fun vibe, tv's are present but not the main focus, definitely check out the art variety via the murals in the restaurant. We weren't wowed by the food - some of us liked what we had, others had an "it's ok", and others "too much is going on". The things we all agreed on being excellent: the homemade tortilla chips, the guacamole w/pico, and the meat used in the tacos. COVID precautions: for indoor seating no more than 6 in the party, staff is masked, seating is distanced well. Definitely a fun place, check it out, and plan on having a nice experience. read more

I had a great experience here. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant. The pineapple margarita was not too sweet and very refreshing. My friend and I ordered chips with the half portions of pineapple guacamole and elote queso (could have a bit more elote). Both were nice size portions and very tasty. The chips were delicious and had a slight sweet flavor. The menu is huge with specialty tacos. I was a bit overwhelmed and opted for the bowl with the rice and bean base. Tequila lime steak, pickled onions, lettuce, queso, and chipotle honey salsa (good amount of heat/smoke). I was not disappointed! The steak was flavorful and tender...and the rice had a nice flavor as the base. The serving vessel and spork reminded me of what you would get at a fast food Mexican joint, BUT the flavors are so good and fresh. And the prices are great. Our server was patient with us as we were both first timers deciding on what to order. Look forward to coming again. read more

I'm giving Condado Tacos a 5 star "great" rating because... it was great! I went in for a preview the day before their grand opening and tried some tacos and queso. The space is large with plenty of room for social distancing while restaurants are currently at 25% capacity for dine in. They also have a large patio in the back. The vibe inside is a fun and funky with dark walls covered in graffiti style murals. Lots of Instagrammable vibes going on! Our server was super sweet and helpful! The menu consists of chips and dips, tacos, nachos, sides, and bowls. They will have tequila, margaritas, beer, and wine. We started with the half order of Dirty Queso that has chicken, black beans, onions, and dirty sauce. The half order was enough to share between two people. The chips were super fresh and crunchy and not too salty. The queso was good but I think we'd try a different one next time. It just wasn't anything super special. The buffalo chicken queso sounds amazing! The taco menu was a little overwhelming but I wanted to try one beef option and one chicken. They also have a pulled pork taco, chorizo, and a few non-meat options. The build your own section of the menu was too much for me to handle so I went with the "Taco Suggestions" and ordered a Bad Habit and Up in Smoke taco. My boyfriend got the Blue Dream and Bubba Kush. The tacos are really unique here because they have several options that use double decker shells! You know, like at Tbell. But way better. I loved that! Also, these tacos are really big. I got super full eating two! All the ingredients were fresh and tasty! The tacos came out half wrapped in foil which definitely helped with ease of eating but is a little concerning for sustainability as I doubt they are able to recycle this foil. Just a note. They did provide paper straws, though. Anyway, on to the tacos! I tried some of all of them and the Bubba Kush and Blue Dream were my favorites. The Bad Habit and Up in Smoke both had a sweet ingredient that wasn't my favorite - just because I prefer savory 100% of the time! The flavors were good otherwise. The Bubba Kush was full of juicy pulled pork and a bit of BBQ sauce. I would've expected this one to be sweet based on the description but it wasn't as sweet as the others. The Blue Dream is similar to a taco you'd get at Taco Bell in terms of the ingredients, but executed much better with high quality ingredients. Overall I am really excited about this place because they're using some unique ingredient combinations and the tacos are delicious! Again they're really big so you could have one for a snack, two for a meal, or three if you're starving (according to our server - and I agree). Plus they are all $5 or less per taco - which blew my mind. I feel like those prices are crazy low for this amount of food. Definitely looking forward to some margarita flights on the patio here in warmer weather! read more

In town for work and this was our first food stop. The dips were pretty decent. House salsa was too sweet for me. Guac and queso were tasty.

I really like the tacos, but the service is not great. The hostess lead us back to our table and dropped our menus, immediately turned around and attended to another staff member. It was weird.

Good service-all of the servers, hostess, bartenders that I've had here were great! Friendly and helpful! Fun atmosphere, vibrant decor, great space - they have a great indoor setting, and they gave a very large outdoor patio in the back, along with some heaters for when it's cooler! Decent drinks, however you should definitely AVOID the House Margarita. It comes from a premixed keg, is Neon yellow in color (see photo) and tastes terrible. The fruit margaritas are good if you like fruit-they are legitimately like puree that's added in. However, it doesn't seem like there is any liquor in there! The food is pretty good - it's hit or miss for me on the tacos. Some of them are good and some of them are just wayyyyy too Americanized and overdone. There's definitely nothing authentic about any of them. The chips and salsa/queso/guac has been good every time I've gotten it, though! There are plenty of better places to go for tacos and margs - pretty much anywhere. read more

Such a fun place to get drinks and some tacos!! The art on the walls is so cool! Very fun punk kinda vibes. Lots of flavors to choose from for margaritas (and they have pitchers!!!) We chose the muddled jalapeño margs and they were perfect! Just a little spice, and great taste! For tacos, I got the Ooey-gooey and the Bad Habit, and both were delicious! This definitely isn't somewhere to go if you're looking for authentic tacos, but it sure is yummy! read more

I have been to Condado several times now and each time has been amazing! I love the overall vibe of the restaurant, and during the summer they have a really nice outdoor seating area. The service is always very good, the servers are kind and helpful, and really know the menu so they can make good recommendations. They are definitely busier on the weekends, but usually you can still get a table within 30-45 minutes. They have a wide variety of vegetarian and gluten free options here (which I love) and they outline them very clearly on the menu. They have a large selection of entree tacos, and you can also build your own which I like to do. The past few times I have been here I have ordered the Skinny Margarita (sometimes flavored, sometimes not, but either way it tastes fantastic). I have tried a rice and beans taco, the jackfruit, and the portobellos and the jackfruit is BY FAR my favorite. I get that on a flour shell, with the queso blanco, lettuce, tomato, avocado ranch, and verde salsa. Literally one of my favorite tacos I have ever had! Every time I come to Condado I leave extremely happy and satisfied with the overall experience. I can not recommend this place enough to anyone looking for some amazing tacos, margaritas, and a wonderful dining experience overall! read more
