My fiancé and I first tried La Condesa Eatery for one of our friends birthdays and it has quickly become one our go-to spots. The decor is modern with Spanish and Asian influence with some pop culture and the venue itself is very inviting. I mainly return here for their Spanish Octopus which is charcoal grilled adding to its unique flavor. I can't recommend the Spanish Octopus enough for anyone willing to try something new, delicious, and unique, I've brought several friends and family here just for this specific dish! For those who may be put off by the visuals of a tentacle, my fiancé usually enjoys their Potato Taquitos and 1855 Tri Tip Alambre Tacos which are both equally delicious. The staff are very friendly and observant we did not have to ask for refills on our beverages and they took empty dishes away swiftly. I'll be back for more of this delicious food and am excited for any more fusion inspired dishes that may be appearing in the future! read more

La Condesa Eatery - Spanish Octopus, Potato Taquitos, 1815 Tri Tip Alambre - Salad Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The ambiance is nice,.but it gets pretty loud in the restaurant even if people aren't really loud. It really echos inside. There is nice outdoor seating mostly shaded. Service was friendly no complaints there Overall food was not very flavorful.. too many flavor combinations trying to be fancy and for the prices of each dish I would not recommend this place. I saw it was on the yelp top 100 at one point..so I had wanted to check it out.. but it was very disappointing. A glass bottle of very warm water with the 2 smallest glasses with ice was brought to the table first. Ice is nice especially when its 100 degrees outside. But the glass was like a shot glass and with the water being so warm by the time we ordered our food all of the ice was melted which made that 1st glass of water cold which was a couple of gulp but then you're left with warm water. Food presentation was very beautiful. Taste of food wasn't anything you'd come back for. We ordered the mushroom raviolis.i expected a white sauce as it said creme sauce but it was a red sauce. It came with crispy potatoes which were very thinly sliced and fried potatoes and a citrus salad which was arugula and a very tasty dressing. There was maybe 5 raviolis not great..the red sauce is all you can taste some loose mushrooms around the raviolis in the sauce. The fried potatoes great in presentation ok in taste but I wish there was more potato in each bite. The arugula and dressing were the best thing I ate out of 4 dishes I tried. We also had the potato taquitos which I was looking forward to but it was very dense and the potato tasted like how a bad potato smells. Other than that it was very very bland. Nice crisp on the taquito. The gnocchi pasta dish was also no flavor. The sausage in it was good. 2nd favorite item was the slice of bread toasted on both sides. The bread was almost as big as the food on the plate. The 4th dish was the potstickers which also were just ok. read more

Our first time at La Condesa and we both enjoyed ourselves. Parking is tricky and the neighborhood is rife with homeless people. Once you walk through the gates everything changes. Décor is fun and bright and the staff was great. The food was mixed. The buratta appetizer was delicious and my burger was wonderful. My wife ordered the ravioli and it was just too busy. Like instead of just giving me a wonderful house made ravioli they were trying too hard to make it unique by covering it with a giant "herb" salad. It was weird and unnecessary. I could hear the people next to us and they were saying the same thing. I ordered a mango jalapeño cocktail and it was fantastic. My wifes drink had way too much lavender. Again, trying to hard to be unique and it ruined what would have otherwise been a great drink. All in all it was a nice dinner and we will probably come back again sometime. read more

Such a cute little spot. Parking is tricky as it is in midtown which is very pedestrian focused. We did find parking on a side street. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE We had the bao buns with pork belly which were so flavorful. The ceviche and the pasta dishes were also absolutely lovely. The kind of food you would get in LA or San Francisco. The price point was very reasonable. I did not love my bar drinks because it seemed like the bartender poured with a very light hand. My margarita, barely even registered having any tequila. Still a lovely drink, but for what you got and what you paid... I think I'll stick with water next time. We sat on the courtyard patio seating and it was such a nice day that it was amazing. There were people with their dogs sitting around and that was lovely. I would 100% return. read more

Have enjoyed Dinner here many times. With a very creative menu, featuring a nice variety to an upbeat casual atmosphere. This is the second time I had the ahi tuna tostada. Crispy corn tortilla topped with guacamole, fresh ahi tuna, a snappy chili oil glaze finished off with micro greens. Totally wonderful! Service by Alisa, as usual was wonderful. Atmosphere is casual. I would recommend sneaking in and trying this dish. read more

Wow! We went to dinner for a friends birthday and La Condesa exceeded my expectations! We made a reservation online about 2 hours before we came, which was nice to get in that easily. Parking can be a bit difficult but it's midtown so that's to be expected. We were sat quickly, but the sun ended up being right in our eyes and our server noticed and moved us right away. We ordered the bao buns, fish tacos, octopus, ceviche and chips and salsa and everything was delicious and cooked perfect, especially the octopus. The restaurant itself was cute and offered both indoor and outdoor seating and had such a nice vibe to it. Highly recommend for a nicer dinner out! read more

Food was 5/5 for me but the service and ambiance was 2/5 so I'll settle on a 3 overall.. To start off with the good, I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and it was so good. I wasn't sure what to expect ordering such a simple meal at a gourmet restaurant but I was really happy with my choice. Chicken was great, veggies were fresh and a great portion, sauce was delicious, bun was nice and soft. And it came with a ton of fries that I wasn't even able to finish. My friend also got a beet salad that she shared with me and it was so good probably the best beet salad I've had. Now for the bad. The parking here is absolutely horrible. Part of me hates complaining about street parking because the restaurant really doesn't control that, but the other part of me can't understand why you would open a restaurant in a town with very low walkability/ public transport, in an area with no parking.... I had to park a few streets away, the streets had no sidewalks so I was forced to walk in the street, and overall felt unsafe walking by myself to the restaurant. For this alone, I probably wouldn't come back.... Second, we sat outside and there was live music playing and it was so loud we couldn't hear a single person at the table. We came for book club and we literally had to wait for the band to have a break and then quickly talk as fast as possible about the book before they started their next song. We specifically sat outside because we some of the girls at our meeting had been to La condessa before and said the acoustics inside are bad and it's loud and hard to hear. Last point being service. Pretty horrible service I was very disappointed. Took forever to get our orders. One order came out wrong but our friend ate it anyway. Two orders never came out at all. The staff had to be reminded to bring things out constantly. 3 of our party didn't get their ordered cocktails until half way through the dinner and about 35 minutes after the ordered them. The waitress seemed frazzled and kept saying sorry I'm busy, but then did nothing to rectify or put any extra attention to our table despite seeing over and over that she was failing. Not sure if this was an off night, outdoors didn't seem that busy. Maybe inside was busier im not sure. Overall was not impressed with the service and too loud to talk but if you come with a smaller party and want to listen to loud music, then it's probably a good spot for you. And the food is great read more

If you're looking for a standout Mexican fusion spot in Midtown, La Condessa absolutely delivers. The birria taquitos are a must-order--you won't be disappointed. Packed with flavor and perfectly crisp, they easily steal the show. The cocktails are just as impressive--refreshing, well-balanced, and the perfect complement to the bold flavors on the menu. Prices are comparable to other Midtown eateries, making it a great spot for a casual night out without breaking the bank. Between the vibrant flavors, great drinks, and solid value, La Condessa is definitely worth a visit. read more

La Condesa Eatery - Guava Mojito - Salad Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came here for La Condesa's 4th anniversary party and finally understood all the hype with this place. Even though they were busy, the service was fast and friendly. The patio seating was perfect for enjoying live music on a warm evening. The dishes have some of the freshest ingredients and most complex flavors I've tasted in town - outshining many restaurants with significantly higher price points. The best thing is that there's something on the menu for everyone - fusion Italian, American, Latin, and Asian. The one thing I'd like to see in the future is a dedicated dance floor when there's live music - especially with the patio advantage. People started carving out their own dancing space anyway (and unintentionally blocked the view of the stage for others). It's worth noting that it's not easy to find parking in this area, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time for street parking. read more

La Condesa has been on the list to visit for a while. I'm glad we tried it, will I go back?, maybe, but no hurry. I met a friend at 3:30. Sat outside on their patio which was very enjoyable. We ordered a beer and mojito... no draft beer and it was warm when I got it, mojito was average I was told. Had 2 appetizers, Tiger Prawn Arepa , 3 prawns (medium size) a top of a corn cake and salsa, Definitely order this, this was delicious. The other appetizer was the Potato Taquitos ... they were cooked perfectly , but honestly they really didn't have a whole lot of flavor. We ordered 2 more beers. Our waitress was very sweet but not attentive, brought us our check before we were done, needed exact change because her shift was over and said someone would take care of us if we wanted anything else. Never saw another server. I would like to go back to try there Tacos but really I won't be in a hurry. read more

Fab food. They have a new meeting room or large party room. Had the short fib fried rice and was not as happy with it as I have in the past. It used to be a very large portion of rice. This time it was like 3/4 of a cup of rice with sliced beef ribs over it. The portion size was a dissappointment for the $29 price. While there was enough meat, they really skimped on the rice and c'mon, this is the cheapest part of the dish. The grilled octopus with chirizo and papas is amazing and the beet sald, which I did not have this time, but have enjoyed in the past is amazing. Go sit at the bar. Their cocktails are absolutely incredible. They have mezcal manhattans and all kinds of funky delicious libations. read more

This place was completely off putting. Pretty on the inside but the food lacks and the service was horrible. The best thing about this place was the art. Calamari and the chips and salsa were the only things worth getting The rib eye tacos were underwhelming. Al pastor tacos had maybe less than an ounce of meat. It was mostly veggies and odd non traditional flavors. The fish tacos were under seasoned and RAW. Let me say our server was completely RUDE. When I brought the raw fish taco to her attention, she said "well it's fish so it's not like you're going to get sick if you eat it raw". Although she comped this off our bill (rightfully so), I did not appreciate being told it'll be fine to eat something raw. That completely goes against health department standards. I DID NOT COME HERE FOR SUSHI. I came here for Mexican food CHECK YOUR STAFF. You can be friendly all you want, but never checking on us when the restaurant was half empty and saying comments like that will result in a mediocre tip and a customer who will never return. read more

Everything we ordered was delicious. Started with the Tamarindo Rush--super tasty and refreshing. We shared a bunch of appetizers: potato taquitos, ceviche, pork belly bao buns, octopus, fries, plus chips and salsa. The ceviche was the standout--perfectly balanced flavors and fresh yellowtail cut into small cubes. So good. The potato taquitos were loaded and flavorful, the bao buns were a hit (my daughter loved the bun itself), and the octopus was incredibly tender--cooked perfectly. My husband spotted the fish tacos at another table and had to order them... zero regrets. Huge piece of fish, fresh slaw, and perfect yellow corn tortillas. The homemade chips were some of the best we've had. Service was a little slow at first, but everyone was friendly. The chef even brought out our fish tacos and welcomed us, which was a really nice touch. Great food, great vibes--we'll definitely be back. read more

Parking was a b*tch. It's right at the Wells roundabout with maybe four spaces if the odds are in your favor. To be fair, the area is historic and parking is always a gamble, but still... brace yourself. I did find a long hair in my food. Not ideal. But I was already committed, so I discarded, regrouped, and powered through. That said, the food slapped.! Appetizers - Guacamole: Truly amazing. I'm picky about guac because most places overdo it and ruin it. This one was balanced, fresh, and done right. - Gambas al Ajillo - Savory, mouthwatering, with a solid kick (about 2 out of 5 spice). Would absolutely order again. Mains - Gobernador Tacos: Juicy, saucy, and generous. The extra side sauce was clutch. I ordered these as a backup because the menu we were given wasn't updated (I originally wanted the Korean BBQ short ribs). - Grilled Beef Short Rib: Excellent flavor, served over rice, and the egg on top tied everything together nicely. Drinks - Tamarindo Rush: Mezcal brings the smoke, tamarind adds sweetness, Tajín gives it a little edge. Solid cocktail. - La Sirena: The winner of the night. Sweet, sultry, dangerous in the best way. The siren indeed. Bottom line: Parking stress and a hair mishap aside, the food and drinks absolutely delivered.. read more

My husband and I both ordered the shrimp tacos. They looked delicious when they arrived. There was nothing served with the tacos, so $23 was a bit pricey. I'm sure we won't do this again. The tacos did need salt, which we had to ask for. It came in a cute little salt shaker, and for the size it was surprisingly easy to use. Meaning that the salt came out nicely. The tacos were extremely messy. They were so messy that we decided to bring most of them home. They're actually good cold. We saw baskets of chips on the counter, but we were never offered any so I'm not sure how that works. By the way, parking is quite difficult. We ended up parking across the street in the beauty school parking lot. read more

I called ahead during the day for a party of 8 that evening. They said they had the space and took my name. When I arrived they didnt have my name on the books and treated me like a total inconvenience rather than a group who was about to spend a lot of money. Spent over $410 mind you. Not to mention their additional 20% charge for a party over 6. Which we paid without complaint. Ambiance was fine. Except giant mural is peeling off of the walls, every painted door is badly chipped and patio has trash all over the place thrashing in the wind. Service was poor, ordered three bottles of wine and each time they came back to tell us they were out of that bottle. Decided to avoid wine all together after the third bottle. First round of appetizers were ok but the main courses were inedible. Ordered a second spanish octopus and it was so chewy no one ate it. The first was enjoyable which is why the table ordered a second. We had to move mid meal to the inside because the wind picked up and knocking everything over including my mothers flower arrangement. We told them it was my moms birthday and there was no acknowledgment whatsoever. Which they didnt need to come out and sing or anything but both server and some lady who was giving us attitude again just treated us like an inconvenience when we mentioned it, not even acknowledging her. No one in my party will be returning unfortunately. I hope this place can turn around, it looked so promising from the photos. read more

I love the space of this restaurant, tucked into a little nook off Wells Ave. The menu has some interesting fusion oprions that actually land. I gambled on pasta and was pleasantly suprised.

This might be my favorite restaurant in Reno. Menu has a great variety of options to choose from. Pasta, tacos, pizza, steak, wings, ceviche, etc. With flavor inspirations from Mexico, Korea, Italy, Spain and many more countries. Something for everyone with no bad choices. Their cocktail options and quality have improved over the years as well. Service is always great. Friendly and attentive staff, never had a bad experience here. A recent expansion allows them accommodate more guest all year now, plus the patio option for most of the year. If you haven't been here then you're definitely missing out! read more

I've been to La Condensa several times, and the food is fantastic! This is my first time trying the ceviche, since I often get the mushroom tacos, but both are super flavorful. I also really love the Totopos as a tasty and unique appetizer, way better than just plain tortilla chips. The wait staff are friendly. The space is larger than it appears when you first step in, and the patio is really nice anytime of day. I'm glad they're brightening up this side of the Wells neighborhood! read more

I love how they make their chilaquiles sauce, especially on their homemade tortilla chips. Every ingredient in the ceviche was so fresh and rich. Bests my uncle's ceviche, La Condesa has outstanding ceviche! I've had other dishes at La Condesa and they've all been so good. They had live music playing which made it feel so authentic but when we've gone other times, the atmosphere is always charming and relaxing.

I was a little surprised where La Condesa Eatery is located. I had read about it, been wanting to try it (especially after reading about it in a "best of Reno" article), and had obliviously driven by it many times! It's kind of tucked away with limited parking. The restaurant and patio are super cute! Apparently the building used to house an auto repair shop, complete with roll-up garage doors which face its patio today. It was a hot day, so I started off with a refreshing margarita on the rocks. We happened to arrive during their Happy Hour during which they offer $6 food specials, cocktails, and house wines from Monday through Thursday, 4-6 p.m. We ended up sampling several of the Happy Hour dishes including Caesar Salad, French Onion Mac & Cheese, Caccio e Pepe, and Totopos with Cheese & Crema. We probably liked the mac & cheese the best because it wasn't as heavy as it sounds and it had a nice flavor. Our server was friendly. We will probably head back again someday to check out items on their regular menu. read more

Had a great after lunch, super chill place. Family gathering for a birthday, large room in the back. 8 top, had the Thai salad with the tiger prawns , better than I was expecting. Small pieces of avocado with mango and some weird looking tomatoes that I haven't seen before but they were delicious. Ice tea was fine and had chips with salsa as a starter, liked the flavors. The server was great, no issues. Overall, for what little I had, 4.6 out of 5. read more

Unfortunately my experience was not as positive as I thought it would be. We had called ahead and reserved a table for 15 people. When we arrived they said that there was no such reservation and we had to wait to get seated. It was nice to get seated in a private area, but we also had to wait for a long time before a server came in to check in on us. As for the food, I thought some dishes were good and others were just ok. The potato taquitos were definitely delicious and for my main entree, the short rib fried rice, was just ok. We also ordered the La Condesa Carbonara and thought the flavors was lacking. This place is a little hidden so parking is really small. However, It's a cute spot with open patio seating. read more

I like how this spot is tucked away from the busy street. The outdoor patio is large but broken up with plants to feel cozy and private. Even on a warm day, there is usually a breeze to keep it cooled off. The indoor seating is spacious and has a great fusion theme. The Mexican-Asian fusion is a great addition to the food scene in Reno. The Bahn Mi bun tacos are something else! My first visit was during a Yelp Elite event and I have been itching to come back.

A warm summer evening brought us back into the courtyard at La Condesa for a date night meal. Lucky us. From the setting, to the food, to the service was PERFECTION. We arrived hungry. And without a reservation again, yikes, but came in just before peak dinner service so we were stoked to be able to snag a table outside. We over-ordered. But mama didn't raise no quitter so of course we rose to the occasion. We had drinks - a Tamarindo Rush & a Bravo Old Fashioned - both stellar. For food, we ordered the tiger prawn arepa, the barbacoa taquitos, the calamari and their special that evening, paella, which also came with a garlicky, bright Caesar salad. ALL amazing. And plenty to take home for lunch the next day. And even better, all under a patio umbrella on a warm summer evening, which makes everything taste even better. Don't sleep on LCE, just come! The vibe, the food and the people are what makes this a jewel in the crown of Reno's dining scene. read more

OK, I could've sworn that I reviewed this place last year when I came for my birthday, but I don't know where my review is so here you go again. The staff is phenomenal. Alina was super attentive and friendly . The place is beautiful, has plenty of seating and the food It is top notch- because I cannot find better words to describe it. This time we order the gambas al ajillo as appetizer and they were absolutely delicious not only where they super well seasoned but the salsa macha made them 1000% better. We ordered the ribeye tacos, which were very filling (aka Bien reportados - for my spanish speakers) and the ugly delicious burger; which was indeed very good looking and delicious. And I know nobody comments on the chips and salsa but as a true Mexican, I appreciate real totopos!! And I know those were made in house because they were thick and crunchy and just delicious! And of course their drinks are always perfect no matter what you order. They have a great selection. I am so happy La Condesa exists! read more

What a beautiful evening on the patio of La Condesa! I've been eyeing La Condesa for a while as it is one of the most consistently highest rated places on Yelp. They have several recognitions including being in the current top 100 US restaurants. We were seated quickly for a 6pm reservation and even though our res was for inside they let us sit on the wonderful courtyard patio. Our drink order and appetizer came out quickly and the food not long after that. We shared the tacos, one order of the shrimp and one order of the ribeye tacos. Both tacos were incredible, full of flavor, and very fresh. The ribeye meat was incredibly tender and so well seasoned. Both of the sauces that came with each dish were also perfectly paired. We finished the evening with the mango cheesecake flan. A perfectly light dessert that fresh tasting and super satisfying on a warm evening. I think pricing here is completely reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. They also have some very unique dishes which are priced respectively. I love accessible quality dining and La Condesa is certainly that. There are so many items on the menu at La Condesa that I'd love to try. I can't wait to return and try some more. read more

Let's start with the flavors--simply put, this is hands down the best restaurant in Reno. The tacos, the calamari, the bao... do not skip the bao. Even if you hate mustard, order them anyway. You won't be sorry. Alina, our server, went way above and beyond, and Orlando came out to personally greet us and walk us through the food, which made the experience even more special. This is honestly the best meal we've had in Reno, not just because of the food, but because of the care behind it. The restaurant itself is stunning. It feels like having dinner inside an art exhibit--the music, the murals, the atmosphere all come together perfectly. Every detail feels intentional, creative, and elevated without being pretentious. This isn't just a place to eat; it's an experience. We will absolutely be back. If I could give more stars, I absolutely would. Coming from Chicago, which has one of the best food scenes in the country, the only thing missing would be La Condesa, and it would easily be in the top 10 of restaurants!!! read more
