Taco maybe chicken?
Janice Y.

It's been a while since I had such delicious quality Mexican food. We came here super hungry on our PEC day trip and needed something to soak up the wine we had all day. We ordered their entire taco menu and also tried a few tostadas. The highlight is the habanero chilli oil on the side, which allowed us to amp up the spice of each tapa to our liking. Favourites from the menu: fish taco, tuna tostada, ceviche tostada, octopus + chorizo tostada. The churro is super light and was gone so quickly. We liked everything from the menu, though if you are trying to filter down your choices, I'll pass on the braised beef taco as the meat was a little dry and didn't have enough fat. The other tacos are a better choice. We sat by the bar, and the bartender serving was an all-star, with excellent service all-around. Use Yelp Waitlist if you're coming by on a busy day to grab a spot.

Visiting Prince Edward County and staying in Wellington County, you wouldn't expect the best restaurant there to be a Mexican restaurant. And yet here it is. La Condesa is a popular joint right on Wellington Main Street. If you don't go before 6pm for dinner, you'll likely have to put yourself on the waitlist. It's that busy! And everything closes by 9pm here, so best to go earlier. Given the proximity to our Airbnb and the limited choices in the area, we ended up visiting La Condesa 3 times on our weekend visit. There's no distinction between the lunch and dinner menu so there isn't a need to go multiple times, but it was just that good! For one of the times, we got dessert for takeout, which is a good idea if you want to bypass the waitlist. Food and service were impeccable! Our favourites include the Tuna Tostada (raw tuna chunks on a crispy tostada for a fusion feel), Spicy Shrimp Taco (you can ask for mild!), and the Cochinita Taco (juicy pork with pickled onion). As for dessert, give the Tres Leches a try! It's a scrumptions cake soaked in Tres Leches sauce. Surprisingly not too sweet and has a creamy, almost cheesy, savouriness to it. Honestly some of the best food we had in PEC and highlights the sad lack of Mexican food in my hometown. :(

Finding a table in a Prince Edward County restaurant during tourist season is a little like playing roulette. Place your bet and watch your dinner plans skip across the fateful wheel and settle where they may. That's why I appreciate La Condesa's wait list feature. It allowed us to get a table around 8pm on a Thursday without much pre planning. La Condesa itself is a highly rated restaurant in Wellington, so we were doubly lucky our number came in that night. We started with the ceviche tostada. Beautiful flavours...perhaps my favourite combination in fact of red onion, cilantro, fresh tomato, and jalapeño heat. Moved on to tacos. The crispy fish was perfect. The braised beef was tasty and had lots of heat. I needed to pace myself but enjoyed every bead of sweat and breath of fire. You know when spicy food hits that zone that is thrilling without being uncomfortable? Bingo. Finished with the churros. Gluten free on offer. I don't have anything against gluten but will tolerate rice flour or other substitutes as long as it tastes good. And these churros tasted good. Friendly service. Fun atmosphere. If you're in the county and in the mood for fresh Mexican with clean heat, and crisp ingredients, get yourself on the La Condesa wait list and ole!

I enjoyed the vibe, the tacos and the overall experience. It gets very busy, so make sure you have a reservation. You order a few dishes and share amongst the table.

La Condesa provides a fantastic Mexican experience with a wide array of classics. The seafood in particular was quite well seasoned. The fish taco in particular was flavourful and so crunchy! The restaurant itself is quite roomy and well decorated, and there's also a shaded patio with room for a few parties: great for the Summer in PEC. The service is attentive and very friendly - they definitely work with tourists a bit.

Churros
Hadia G.

Very high reviews on this place and even getting a table is no joke! You need to sign in a virtual wait list to get a table at 2 pm (technically not peak hour) The decor is nice inside and they offer a variety of tacos. We started with guac and chips and it was really good and fresh. All tacos were great. Wish the tuna had a zest of lime would have been more flavourful! And unfortunately their fish tacos are beer battered (we can't have alcohol) so we missed tasting that one! Otherwise some tacos took quiet some time (the kids chicken tacos) and they wanted them with no onions and still came with onions which made their wait even longer. Otherwise our hostess was kind and she kept a smile although it was quiet busy!

Almost all dishes here are sub $10 & one is $10. This is good if you have a small appetite or like to try many things. Ceviche and Octopus + Chorizo tostadas were good. The crust was thin: they were the thinnest tostadas ever. The guacamole amount was generous. Octopus was better than Ceviche. Beer Battered Fish Taco was smaller than tostada. It was decent: not that crispy but with a nice creamy sauce. The fish & the ceviche were similar. Churros were pretty good: warm, crispy & light. Dulce de leche sauce was good.

Shrimp diablo
Sonia C.

This is a cute place to dine in when you're visiting PEC. Mexican tapas are very yummy here and very easy to share! Shrimp diablo and their fried fish taco were my favourites!

Lily G.

Nicely decorated space, food has good presentation and service was friendly. Price is slightly on the higher side for what it is. We came on a Friday evening for an early dinner. It was busy but didn't have to wait. Our favorites were fish and chicken tacos. However, some of the filling has so much sauce/juice that the shell was breaking, making it hard to pick up. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Veggie Tostada

Nice ambiance! Tasty food, great drinks and very nice service! Veggie tostada, mushroom & cheese taco and street style corn

Michelada beer

The food is fantastic, cocktails are amazing, and the service is fabulous! Love the music and the atmosphere.

Great little Mexican blade in Bloomfield! We stopped in to order some takeout. Service was very quick, only waited 10 minutes for food for two. We ordered: Black bean soup: I was craving something warm and soothing. This really hit the spot. Came with fries tortilla strips, avocado, queso, and some sour cream. Nice hearty soup. Tuna tostado: Amazing! Super tasty and remained nice and crispy after a 20 minute drive. Large chunks of tuna, nice layer of avocado and good amount of heat. Both tacos were tasty but I feel they would've been much better to have in person in the restaurant. Argentinian shrimp taco: good amount of small shrimps, saucy, good toppings. Fish taco: Huge piece of fried fish with cabbage and a tasty sauce. Très léchés: So good! Moist, not too sweet! Everything was packaged very nicely.

THE BEST tres leches ever
Denise P.

(Late post) We visited in October and fell in love with their tres leches cake! It was as delicious as it was beautiful. Tacos and cocktails were also pretty good. We didn't quite enjoy the quesadilla because it was too salty for us. We also had to get our servers attention for water and the bill....but think COVID is responsible for the understaffing situation.

Inside, beautiful decor

I was told they only do outdoors, with the truck. I need indoors for nursing home residents and staff (like trays of stuff for a buffet line or something). So unfortunately the truck doesn't really accommodate my needs. That's okay. Nobody can be everything to everybody, I get it. But I also ordered dinner, to go. I have a deep love for Mexican cuisine (more so authentic fast food and home cookin) that goes back as far as I can remember and I was eagerly anticipating THIS dinner. Now, I used to basically live on the California/Mexico border and ate in Mexico, in border towns and non-border towns. I've also cruised deep into Mexico. One of my mother's husbands was Mexican and so was one of mine. I've spent time in Mexican bush camps in southern Texas over a campfire cooking texmex with ranch hands, but I'm no foodie. I just have a little exposure and experience in this genre. So that really compels me to say that my dinner was less than impressive. Service was good for sure. The carnitas chimichanga I ordered was pure meat. On the side was some sour cream, guacamole (not enough of either) and plenty of shredded lettace underneath the condiments. The chips were good, but could've been warmer with more salt and salsa. I have to say that the food at this restaurant, while 'stylized' as Mexican, isn't really what you'd expect as Mexican (only marginally adjacent, I'm afraid). I truly didn't expect it to be authentic this far away from Mexico, but it really missed the mark. I saw tortillas, I saw stylized proteins and even salsa. I just didn't FEEEELLLL Mexico when I ate the food. The carnitas tasted like boiled shredded pork, I'm sorry to say. No spice, no heart, nothing Mexico about it.

Last summer, the dining room was so hot that people took their dishes outdoor to the picnic tables to eat. Tres Primos has good food and lots of it so it's often very crowded at dinner time. We were fortunate to have come for an early dinner and were the only diners on a snowy day. Service is with a smile and the people that work here seem to enjoy each other's company and enjoy serving customers. The tables and chairs are the best, colorful with beautiful depictions of Mexico. For whatever you order, be prepared to have it served on a platter that's fit for a king, or in my case queen. Food is good and fresh. There is plenty to drink, including a variety of beers and cocktails . There's nothing like drinking a corona to top off a Mexican meal. I ordered what is really a sampler plate with a little bit of everything. I had a Chalupa, a quesadilla, tacos, and a member of other things. Of course, this comes complete with rice and beans. Needless to say, I had a second meal with the leftovers the following night. P.S., they have very good salsa that is served as soon as you were seated with your chips. Don't be afraid to ask for a refill.

The decor is very stunning! I loved the bright and captivating colors and appreciated the wall art and custom chairs. It's welcoming & very beautiful! On this particular day there were only 2 people on shift. The lovely woman who took care of myself and lunch date and the wonderful chef. They were both extremely pleasant and welcoming. It was a pleasure to have met them both. I am unsure how I have survived this long without dining at Tres Primos. However, now that I have I'm sure I won't be able to stay away. *New hours are Tuesday - Sunday from 12-9 pm *
