This location has been one of my most visited Mexican restaurants. The reason for frequentness is not only because the food but because of out standing staff. Manny(bartender), Jair, and el Senior Manuel are the faces of this restaurant for me. They may be the reason for some the enjoyable visits ! As a Mexican women I am very picky when it comes to authentic Mexican food. The dishes that are in my constant rotation and would recommend are: tortilla soup, sopes de carnitas, enchiladas de mole,and as appetizer cheese dip with beens( delicious combo created by Jair). These dishes are scrumptious and savory that I am not able to describe in words how incredible they really are. If you are looking for an amazing meal with a caring friendly staff this is a place for you. Make sure you take a picture in the front it's beautiful! read more

Came for cinco de mayo yesterday. Service was good given the busy holiday with the restaurant being packed. The staff was competent, effective and you can tell they were organized and prepared, not their first rodeo. They got Us in for a walk in waitlist within 15mins which shocked me as we were 4th in line on their waitlist link. Having a waitlist link was impressive in itself tbh. Love the communication for customers... showing the wait time and which spot in line you have. Chips and water came out quick even with the packed restaurant. At the end, I believe a manager, came by to ask how our dining experience was and to clear the table. Love that ! Nice that the manager jumps in to help and takes time to check in with customers. I was very impressed by their operations. I had el pastor tacos which the cinnamon-ish flavor profile wasn't my taste but the tacos were good if you enjoy that, came with black refried beans and rice. Rice was really good! I had the spicy Diablo margaritas with tajin rim and really enjoyed that as well. My bf had the birria tacos which came with the dip and he said it was mid, could've been better as wasn't much flavor. I also had shrimp ceviche which was ok too. Was hoping for more flavor. Really loved the warm tortilla chips and salsa was nice. We also ordered the cheese queso blanco dip which was really good. read more

Food was good, decent portions, semi high price point, but not too bad. Love that they offered mocktails without having to ask for them. Served was really nice and attentive. Loved the sign when you first walk in. Music not loud at all, they do have tv's to play sports games. Seating, size friendly, tables spaces well . Also outdoor seating in the warmer weather. Parking, This is an actively SHARED lot, you will most likely have to drive around for parking . read more

The chips and salsa are delicious!! I also enjoyed the fajitas with chicken, steak, and shrimp, although the chicken was not as good as the steak or shrimp read more

i have eaten at 3 of their locations. Always delicious and fresh. Highly reccommend having margaritas and guacamole

A Valentine's Day visit and what a great choice. The service was impeccable and they had a great special dinner for two menu as well. We opted to order from the menu and the was prepared fresh and arrived piping hot. My steak fajitas were the most tender I've had in this dish in years. Strongly recommended. read more

Some of the best tasting Mexican food I've ever had, and affordable as well. The street corn and steak tacos were out of this world!

Condesa has multiple locations in RI. I went to the Smithfield location (the other one is in Warwick) and it had a nice modern contemporary Mexican theme. It felt clean inside with lots of seating. They share the parking lot with multiple other businesses so parking was limited. The service was quick and I got seated right away. The staff were friendly and attentive. They serve complimentary chips and salsa to start. For an appetizer, I ordered the chicken quesadilla which was large enough to even be a main course. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche for an app and it had a nice tangy flavor from the lime juice and onions. For an entree, I ordered the chicken fajitas and it was a good size portion, flavorful, with plenty of sautéed peppers & onions. It came with 3 tortillas but they were small so I would ask for a couple more next time. The margaritas were great and adds a nice touch to a Mexican dinner. The grand finale! Was the HOMEMADE churros and black raspberry ice-cream. Did I mention both were homemade?! YUM. The churros were super light and super fresh with plenty of cinnamon and sugar on them. It has a nice crispy outside and soft/chewy inside. I would be sure to try them if ever going to Condesa! read more

Worst experience ever with the bartender. Screwed up the drink and rather than apologize to us- he ignored us and took away our menus before we ordered. We never had the opportunity to order dinner and left- will never go back read more

The other night my GF and I made our way back to Condesa for dinner since we loved it our first find and our second time was no different! Highly recommend the chicken fajitas! Loaded with tender chicken, peppers & onions (ask for extra shells). We also had barbocoa tacos that weren't bad but was a bit dry and skimped on the portion for the size of the shells. The HOMEMADE churros were the homerun though! Super delicious covered in cinnamon sugar and fried perfectly with a crisp outside and light inside! Highly recommend Condesa for their delicious Mexican food, friendly attentive wait staff, and very clean modern looking dinning experience. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years, but after my recent experience, I won't be returning. In December, they had a promotion where you'd get a $10 bonus for every $50 gift card purchased. I bought $300 in gift cards, expecting to receive $60 in bonuses. When I paid, they gave me six separate bonus cards--but instead of actual gift cards, they were business cards stating they could only be used between January 1-31, with all restrictions, something that was never mentioned before I purchased. When I tried to use them in January, I was told I could only redeem one per table--even though we had separate checks! On top of that, when they applied the bonus card, they didn't even take the full $10 off the bill. Oh, and I had a Christmas party here a week prior to all of this happening... you'd think they would take care of their customers. Photos of the bill, not even taking the full $10 off and the bonus cards that are a joke! Now I'm stuck with useless bonus cards that expired and a gift card for a restaurant I no longer want to support. This is a clear example of poor customer service and misleading promotions. Be more transparent with your customers! read more

So I was very pleased with every aspect of this restaurant. First off the atmosphere was great- it's clean, good music in the background and the decor is modern. The service is really good and everyone was attentive to the customers needs. The food was tasty and served nice and hot. Honestly I don't drink but the beverages look delicious. If I can suggest any food - the fajitas Mexicanos is the best bang for your buck. The chicken- steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection and made great tacos with the corn tortillas. I will visit again and if you have not you should too. read more

Excellent food at lunch. Very good service. Been there several times and never disappointed

This was my third time eating at this restaurant and there's a specific reason that I don't eat there more frequently since it's only five minutes from where I live. They have an absolutely huge parking lot, but this restaurant is very successful and very busy and they are located directly next-door to another extremely successful and busy restaurant, leaving very few parking spots available and even more so, fewer handicap spots for disabled people like myself. The ambience is pretty nice here and they have a large dining room, allowing lots of patrons quick seating. The dishes I've tried so far are very good and I thought the prices were about average. I definitely thought the prices were fair for the portion sizes and the quality of the food. Service here is always good, so I have no complaints there. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

Not bad, not amazing. The food was good. We had a variety of appetizers and entrees between sour party of four. With the exception of the rice, which was rather salty, everything was good. Decent mole. Shrimp tasted fresh. Nice tequila selection. Wide variety with a couple very nice ones. Atmosphere is good. Looks like most Mexican restaurants. Plenty of space. Service was ok. Attentive initially and trailing off over the course of the meal. Could have used a more timely refill or two. Do recommend but suspect it runs hot and cold. read more

Solid 4 star Mexican spot! It's got ambiance, class and most importantly, delicious food! The burrito portion size is actually epic. I have seen more than one customer look in horror and delight all at the same time. Andre the Giant would struggle with it! I do enjoy the lunch portions, as they are one sitting manageable! The fresh nachos are a crunchtastic way to begin the meal. Over all, the whole enchilada is spot on! I will say the only minor infraction is the need for more wait staff. It spreads them a bit thin on the floor. Def recommendation! Bon appetite! read more

We ate here on a Saturday, Laura's and Blackies across the street each had a 1.5 hour wait - no wait at Condesa. Food was good, I had fish tacos, kids had quesadilla and fajitas, and my wife had chicken enchiladas. We got in and out pretty quickly as well. read more

Food was ok. I cant stand when we ordered nachos as an app and they brought all our food out at the same time. Was pissed but whatever at this point. Drinks were good, service eh. The Condessa in Warwick is so much better. read more

Tried again. There was barely any pork served in a pork dish. Very fatty pieces of meat. The guacamole tasted like an entire salt shaker was poured in. Service was slow. The food was not good. read more

Amazing food and service! Always fresh and consistent. Portions are huge!! You will leave with lunch for tomorrow! Get the burrito- you won't regret it! Cute spot also with outdoor seating options. read more

The service was SO slow. It was a random Thursday night there was no need for me to go bother the host because someone wasn't even coming over to us to give us waters. Then we finally ordered because I had to ask the host again to bring someone over and the manager ended up taking our order. After dinner it took forever to get the check again we had to get up from our seats to get someone. Awful service. read more

I have two words for you, amigos, and those words are STEAK FAJITAS. I took one bite, and I wanted to snarf down the whole plate in one sitting. Yeah, it was that good. This is what, my third time there, and each time I went there with my sister the wait staff was always super nice. They genuinely appreciate your business, I can tell. I also loved the ofrenda by the door, as Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is an important holiday in Mexico. The restaurant itself has a nice Mexican theme, and there's this nice moon and sun decoration hanging up that always seems to be in view of whatever table I'm sitting at. I dunno, I just like looking at it. Anyway, I was so stuffed with the fajitas, I was waddling like a stuffed armadillo back to the car. Oh, wait, that was after the cheesecake, because my mom was also there, as we were celebrating her birthday. I was like, I just ate all these fajitas, and you're trying to stuff me full of cheesecake?? Okay, I'll have a few bites. So I wound up eating more than a few bites of cheesecake, and THEN I finally waddled like a stuffed armadillo out to the car. So if you're asking would I come back for the steak fajitas again, that would be a yes. read more

Outstanding 5+ stars all around for food, location, service, ambiance, decor, and value! This restaurant has come a long way since we last visited years ago and based on my recent experience, I can honestly say that this is the best Mexican restaurant I've been to in the U.S. Family friendly, perfect for date nights, stimulating ambiance--fun and lively. I was impressed the minute the hubby and I walked in--visually stunning interior design with upbeat Latin music playing in the background. We were immediately greeted by the host, promptly seated, and shortly served chips with amazingly fresh and mouthwatering salsa (4 kinds of dips, including well made beans)--sooo good that i tried to savor every last bite before they were sadly taken away to make room for the main course. Someone often came around to check in on us and graciously offered refills for chips and drinks. Very attentive! The hubby ordered fish tacos (fried), which were gourmet quality--not your usual street tacos. Definitely made by a well-trained chef who knows how to balance the five basic tastes: sweet, salt, bitter, sour and umami. I will definitely order this for myself next time. I ordered ENCHILADAS TAMPIQUEÑAS (GF): Three queso fresco enchiladas covered in salsa verde, topped with grilled steak. Served with rice and beans. The enchiladas were Very tasty. Though I didn't like the steak, my partner loved the strong liver flavor untertone to it. Wish they offered horchata, a traditional Mexican cinnamon milk drink *wink*. The dessert menu looked tempting. Need to make room for next time! They have Lunch Specials! $10 for each entree item on this menu. Great deal! IMO, pricing is very reasonable considering the portion and quality of the food and upscale, yet casual dining. Located in a trendy dining plaza with other fine eatery in the suburb of Smithfield, where you don't have to worry about heavy traffic and limited parking. read more

Wow!! Great food, nice environment too! Loud (music not crowd) to the point that the waitress couldn't hear us and mistook two of our drinks, but they were tasty so no real complaints. Will be back!! read more

The place is beautiful. You'd never think it was a Mexican Restaurant because the layout of the restaurant is just very modern and doesn't display the usual Mexican flair. For my drink I ordered the spicy cucumber margarita (which I make on the Dailey :) ) and it was delicious! We sat at the bar. The service was good. There was a lovely girl making guacamole at a small station in the corner. My taco entree came with 3 steak but I asked if they would substitute one of them for Shrimp. They were fine with that. They asked if I wanted a flower taco or corn taco. I chose corn because that was what they said is the norm. Honestly the corn taco was so super soft and it was very hard to handle. My order came with rice and refried beans. We also ordered the chicken quesadilla which was awesome. The place is beautiful, food was great, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Terrible service-- probably the worst I've ever experienced. 20 minutes to order a drink, then waited for for another 20 minutes to order food, and 30 more minutes to get the bill. (We could have just left without paying and honestly, no one would have noticed...that's how little anyone was paying attention!) It was not busy and the server was missing most of the time. He couldn't care less about his job. You might want to retrain the male server who worked on the evening of 2/2. He was AWFUL! read more

I've never had a bad experience here!!! The food is amazing! Fresh ingredients, huge portions and the wait staff has always been awesome! We frequent this place and it's never TOO busy where you can't get a table as a walk in customer. Love this place! read more

My biggest - only - complaint about Condesa is that I live too far away from it and don't visit Smithfield often enough to dine here as much as I'd like. I came here twice in one weekend, for lunch and dinner, and I was very satisfied both times. I enjoyed the decor, the atmosphere, the food, and the drinks, and I especially enjoyed the service. The staff are all energetic, professional, friendly and attentive, and it was a pleasure to be served by them. Both meals started with what could be - if you let it - an almost bottomless bowl of warm tortilla chips accompanied by a relish tray featuring refried beans and a variety of salsas of varying spiciness and smokiness. The beer, wine, and sangria list is extensive, but I zeroed in on the cocktails. They have an interesting variety of margaritas as well as their own take on some classic cocktails. The dinner menu is available during lunchtime, but the lunch offerings are a great deal. Both meals came on 2 plates, one containing all the sides and/or fixings. My Saturday dinner, the Molchajete, was a bubbly concoction of shrimp, beef, chicken, and ground chorizo, cheese and cactus (!), with leftover sauce and chorizo going onto the rice, and they definitely kicked it up a notch. Condesa is an excellent add to the dining options in the Smithfield area! read more

Best Burrito we have had since we have been to California. Strongly recommend the California Burrito! Authentic Mexican cuisine. Our waiter (bartender) was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of both food and drink. I was looking for a smooth silver tequila- margarita and his recommendation of ocho with house margarita mix was perfect. The house mix is great (some places it's hit or miss- not here. Top notch). Turnaround time was Fantastic for Friday night rush (6:00pm). My only recommendation to the business- bathrooms need updating. Other than that? Great atmosphere, great drink, great food, reasonable prices. Well done. We will return. read more

I heard about this restaurant on my community FB page when someone else asked for a recommendation for good Mexican. Several people said, "Condesa!" So I figured it was worth a try. Admittedly, this isn't in the best location. It's in the same space as a gas station and pizza place and the outdoor patio is basically in a parking lot. Indoors is much more pleasant, large and open with separated booths and tables. Immediately from perusing the menu, I could tell this was a slightly different type of Mexican food than I was used to. Growing up in AZ, we had a lot of cheese-slathered, beefy, fried chimichangas. At Condesa, they have a lot of seafood offerings with toasted pumpkin seeds and pineapple salsa. I'm guessing it's more derived from a coastal region of the country. I love the uniqueness of it. The flavors are light and spicy. I am absolutely addicted to the Cabo burrito that is stuffed with juicy shrimp and covered in smoky, mole sauce. If you're used to the more cheese-slathered, enchilada-sauce covered-type Mexican, this might not be your thing. But if you'd like to try something new, I would definitely recommend it. read more

We all loved our meals. We started with an app: beef brisket nachos! Excellent. Then, I had shrimp over cheesy rice. My husband had Beef tacos. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. For dessert we split churros and ice cream. We will certainly go back again. The staff is very good, helpful and patient!! read more
