After looking at the menu it seemed like a lot of good options but my go to for New Mexican places is a classic California burrito. Honestly it was the tastiest steak I've had in a while the flavors were apparent in this one, my lady got this chicken fajita and I tried a bit (of course) and it was delicious to say the least over my rice. Honestly would recommend it was quick and tasty so will come back again!

Great descriptions. Pictures of every item. The takeout is simplified. Online tracking to know when it is actually done. Easy access at the front desk for pickup. Also, a great view of the ornate decor... anyone ever seen a glass pineapple of skulls as a chandelier Amazing food!!! Birria tacos were sooo gooey, filled with tender meat, and plenty of consume for dunking!! Elote was ingeniously cut into smaller pieces to share, swimming in a pool of delicious toppings, and sooooo fresh... for winter... not sure how but it was literally summer fresh. Empanadas had dough that should be awarded something. It was so flaky and balanced. Props to the team for propping them on a bed of lettuce to avoid the soggy bottoms! Salsa, guacamole, and chips... highest standard. I may come just to get these someday! Oh... and whoever found, invented, purchased the wacky wavy arm inflatable tube man... as a CACTUS!!!!!!

It's a very lively space with a not-too-adventurous menu (great for less adventurous grandparents). Some things that I wish were a little smoother include: - not placing us with a baby directly under a strong cold air vent - faster service for both drink refills and getting our food out, this took extremely long on a weekday evening Overall we had a decently good time and I'd consider coming back for happy hour or late night happy hour, but it's unfortunately not high up on my list for a regular meal based on how long everything took.

A Gem in Irwin! Gato…read moreTaco is one of those places we always enjoy coming back to. From the atmosphere to the service to, most importantly, the food, they have created something truly unique in Irwin. The tacos are wonderfully flavorful and anything but ordinary. Even the names make ordering fun--The Bob Dylan, The Yinzer, Hollywood, and my personal favorite, The Willie Nelson. With choices including chicken, fish, shrimp, pulled pork, beef, and short ribs, there really is something for everyone. The Willie Nelson is my favorite for good reason: tender short ribs topped with a vinegar slaw and their "Secret Weapon" sauce--a spicy, teriyaki-style sauce that brings everything together beautifully. It is an outstanding combination of sweet, tangy, spicy, and savory. We usually start with the chips and queso, and they certainly don't skimp on the portions. From there, it's on to the tacos--and we have never been disappointed. Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and made sure our glasses never went empty. Great food is important, but good service makes the whole experience better, and Gato Taco delivers on both. The atmosphere deserves a mention too. It has the character of a 1930s speakeasy, with exposed brick walls and original hardwood floors, yet it remains bright, welcoming, and comfortable. It feels historic without feeling dark or stuffy. We love finding local businesses that put personality, creativity, and care into what they do, and Gato Taco is truly a gem in Irwin. If you haven't tried it yet, give them a visit--and if you're wondering where to start, I'd recommend the Willie Nelson! Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and a local business worth supporting. We'll definitely be back!

First time there. Not a bad atmosphere but the food and drinks were horrible…read more Watermelon Tajin margarita was bad so exchanged it for a typical margarita...still not good. The two salsas, verde and traditional red were not good at all. They were overly thick and strange tasting. We didn't even eat a quarter of it and the tortilla chips seemed cheap. The grilled shrimp tacos hardly had any shrimp (or any filling for that matter) in them and the shrimp were very tiny with an overly sweet and gooey chili sauce on them. I only ate one of the tacos because the taste didn't leave you wanting more. At least I saved calories, I guess. We went there because we were going to a concert across the street. If I'm ever in the area again, I definitely won't eat here, sorry to say.

Whether you're craving the Gobblerito during the Fall and Winter months or a large strawberry margarita, an outdoor seat, and a consistently good burrito during the Spring and Summer, this is the place for you. The music can sometimes be too loud, and the masks freaked my kids out when they were younger, but this place is always in rotation. Our kids love the dino chicken nuggets (plus the sundae at the end), and my wife and I frequently get the fajitas or burritos. My favorite is the wing-o-rito with Buffalo Insane sauce. The staff is always friendly, including the front-of-house and the waiters and waitresses. There can sometimes be a long wait during the dinner rush, but it's always worth it.

My most recent visit to Condado was on a Monday this past August. I met up with several of my…read morefamily members to enjoy an evening together. This Condado Tacos location is within South Hills Village mall. You still see it from the road, as it is on the outer part of the mall. It has signage on the exterior, but the main entrance has you going into the mall and entering through there. The patio is accessible from the outside. There is no shortage of parking options here, since it is within the mall. If it is a busy shopping day, the parking might be a little ways away. However, you should be able to find a spot! Since it was so nice out, we opted for seats on the patio. There are plenty of seating options both inside and out. Outside has typical tables and chairs. The inside has those as well, along with bar seating and bar-height tables. We visited on a Monday around 6:00 PM, and it was not terribly busy. We were seated immediately, and got to choose where we wanted to sit. Our waitress was kind, quick, and attentive during our whole visit. The group decided on ordering the Three Buds as an appetizer. This is essentially a dip trio with your choice between several Quesos, Salsas, Guacamoles, and Mexican Street Corn dips. We chose the Corn Salsa, Traditional Guacamole, and Queso Blanco in the Full Size option, since it was shared amongst five people. These came with chips for dipping, of course. Everyone loved the different options of this! I personally appreciated getting to pick between a lot of different dips. This would be a great appetizer to appease a crowd with several differing palates. For my entree, I chose two tacos: the Lucy's Fire and the Braised and Confused. The Lucy's Fire had corn on it, which I really liked. The unique jicama and cabbage slaw on the Braised and Confused was a nice addition. Both were really good overall! I thought they were both a great size that definitely filled me up, especially paired with the dips. I thought the value for the items I ordered was there. Though some of it may seem a little expensive on paper, the portions were fair for the price. I remember this restaurant being somewhat pricey from previous visits, but it was not as bad as I recalled. It had been a few year since my last visit, so my memory might have been a little off there. Though I did not get any, I thought the prices on the burritos and bowls were very reasonable. I suppose it will just depend on what you order if you find the value to be there! Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised with this visit to Condado! As stated, I have been here in the past and really was never super impressed. I enjoyed everything I ate on this visit, along with the great service received. The prices were fair for what I ordered, and I appreciated all of the different options. I would return here for a visit in the future, and would recommend giving it a try if you are looking for some Tex Mex food while in the South Hills Village area!
