Drink
Kristie N.

Was before a concert but still no excuse, really slow. Took them over 10 mins to come to me or even acknowledge me. I gave them a 2 because they are super close to Van andle and the drink was good. They were not friendly. Ladies bathroom only had one working stall. Limited bar. Drink I had was traverse city cherry whisky with starry and grenadine.

Margarita on the rocks
Tricia C.

Stopped in for a drink and some food prior to our concert. Loved the open air atmosphere. Got a margarita on the rocks and it tasted great. I don't drink so I was happy that it didn't taste like tequila. We got the queso blanco and chips. We had to send it back because the cheese was not warm. They said it was probably cause the salsa is cold when they mix it in to the cheese. They brought a new one. It was warmer. The cheese looked like it was separating after we ate a few bites. We made our own taco. I got the steak. I was not happy with the steak. It was mushy, not like I was expecting, grilled would have been great. It just didn't look appealing. Taste was ok. My friend got the chicken and she said it was good. I liked the convenience to the venue.

Shrimp taco and pork taco

Lively atmosphere and you can order your tacos on a sheet (similar to sushi orders). There were plenty of choices for make your own with protein choice, cheese, toppings, and shell type. I opted for make your own. They were ok, nothing special. The rice and beans side I ordered came in condiment small containers. Found both to be very salty. You get chips and salsa on the house which is nice. Place had a good crowd (there was a griffins game and concert that night). Probably would not go here again as there are better taco food joints.

Great service! The food and drinks were top notch! I liked the build your own approach to customize my meal. And the portions were huge!

Great wall artwork

One of the best stops on my trip to Grand Rapids. Located downtown on Ottawa Ave, few steps from The Bob. Fabulous food, fabulous drinks. Great vibe sit inside or outdoor dining. Definitely a cool place to chill have a drink. Friendly service reasonable pricing, hip cool hang out. Eat in or takeout. had the good fortune of fabulous service on my visit.

Waitress was very attentive and kind. She patiently explained how to order. The food was very delicious. We ordered a quesadilla, a shrimp bowl, one build your own chicken taco, and two build your own steak taco. I ordered the Shamrock Shmash and it was very tasty. It had ginger beer in it and I love drinks with ginger beer in them. Love the paintings on the wall and the overall atmosphere. This is the 3rd time I've been here and will definitely be back!

Vegan tacos
Robin R.

What a fantastic place. I was in Grand Rapids for the day and needed food before I went on the road back to Chicago. I had 2 vegan tacos. Delish! Photos show the artwork, which I enjoyed very much too. Go here when in the area

Dip trio and Guinness bacon guacamole (March special, Irish themed)

I'd like to leave a 3.5 star review, I think that would be most accurate. We were in town for a concert at 20 Monroe Live and I chose this restaurant because it's nearby. We put out name in for a table for 7 on a Saturday night. The wait was less than quoted, but they crammed us into a pretty small table. While we waited we grabbed some margaritas. They were pretty good, I got one with. Tajin rim, unfortunately the other salted margs were made with sugar instead, so that was disappointing. We sat down and found the ordering system confusing and complicated with too many options. Most of us just ordered pre-designed menu items, vs making our own creations. The food was just average, I was impressed with the option for cauliflower rice in the bowl. That was a nice option for low carb diners. The tacos were a pretty good size, the side of rice or beans was the smaller plastic cup (like a cup that sauce would come in). The cilantro lime rice had little flavor, good thing it was a tiny cup.

Queso fresco, but with salsa added for more flavor

I was really excited to try this place with my girlfriends before an event in town. It wasn't perfect, but the food was good enough, and there are other items I would like to go back and try. The ambience is pretty cool. I love all the artwork on the walls and the lights above the bar. It would be nice if there were coat and purse hooks somewhere. We were seated at a high-top and it was snowy out, but the seats are just barstools so we didn't really have a good spot to set any of our things. Next time I'd definitely request to be at a regular table so I can at least utilize the back of my chair. I don't love the ordering system. There are sheets to build your own tacos, or there is a separate sheet to order El Jefe's Selecciones. The options themselves are good, but I don't love how much paper they're going through. As for food, I ordered two tacos from El Jefe's: el vegano and el sully. The flavors were really good, and I appreciate the double shells so they don't fall apart as much. I just don't love how messy eating tacos can be, so next time I'd order as a bowl instead. However, they do have rolls of paper towels at the table, so that does help with messiness, though it again could really lead to a lot of excess waste. I'd rather use one wet nap than go through multiple paper towels. We also split a queso and chips. The chips were good, and I don't remember them being excessively greasy. We just had the queso fresco. Thankfully it does come with a salsa as well. We found the queso to be pretty bland, so we mixed in some of the salsa and it was definitely an improvement. The food was pretty good, albeit messy. They have a decent beer selection, as well as a full bar and some really tasty looking margaritas. Service was fine. Ambience was fun. Wait time was low. Overall it was a decent experience, and I will go back, but with different expectations.

Complimentary chips and salsa

This regional chain opened a location in downtown Grand Rapids recently. Nate and I went to the location in East Lansing and really liked it, so we stopped in on a sunny Saturday afternoon right when they opened at 3 pm. They just opened a couple days ago, but there were plenty of employees ready to serve customers. The menu consists of some specialty tacos, a bowl option, chips and dips, and a full list of options to customize your own tacos or bowl. The build your own section of the menu is pretty overwhelming, but I do want to try it some time. On this visit we got el vegano, el sully, la tierra, and el jefe loco. Each of these tacos have a double shell - a soft tortilla wrapped around a hard shell, with stuff in between. If you've been to Condado Tacos, it's a similar vibe and menu. The tacos are interesting with great textures from the double shells. El sully and la tierra were a bit spicy. I really enjoyed all the tacos but I think el jefe loco was my favorite. La tierra had big slices of steak, which made it a little difficult to eat. I'd rather have the steak be cut into smaller pieces. The house salsa you get with chips is a little smoky and spicy. We didn't get drinks but they have a bunch of different margarita options to choose from and a full bar. Our server was awesome - he mentioned he came over from the East Lansing location to help out. He clearly knew the menu well and was super polite and quick with service. The space is decent sized inside and they have a nice patio off the side. This place will be super popular with its proximity to downtown and its entertainment venues. Hoping to check out their weekend brunch soon!

Post late night disco dancing "snack". It was verrry late in the evening so the food came out quickly. You can customize your tacos or choose menu options. I wouldn't say come here for legit tacos, but definitely come for tasty ones! Decor was fun.

Saltiest taco and jalapeños in the whole world. I couldn't eat after two tacos.

Love the build your own taco set up. So many options and at a good price. Great margs. Always try to stop here when I'm in town.

Is the patio dog friendly?

Yes, it's very dog friendly. Easy walk up patio access from the outside. They don't have much shade on the patio during the day though so humans and dogs can get very hot in direct sunlight.

Sad to say I never made it to Basalt when it was around and only made it to Asada on the last ever…read moreday in their space on Wealthy. Honestly it was an incredible location for a space and had such a great vibe inside. My best friend is a regular at the restaurant and we're hoping to see them more in smaller capacities like when we saw them at the Fulton St. Market. Overall, the food was really good. I like the concept of fast-casual dining without the need to have a server. I think it allows things to feel more casual and allowed for me to be more willing to eat there (obviously in other circumstances lol). I got the horchata hot cakes with some of the papas with ghost sauce. I thought the pancakes were GREAT and more than worth it for the price. I was surprised how large and fluffy they were. The flavor was great without being too sweet and none of the flavors being too overpowering. My friends got the breakfast sandwiches and chaichata drinks and absolutely loved them. My friend loved her drink so much she got two within the span of us eating. I know it's a hard time for local businesses but I'm hoping there are more ways we can still see them around.

To be honest, I've only been here twice but I wanna change that based off the last time I went. Our…read morefood was just so good, I had forgotten how delicious their menu is. Different from the last time I was here but we were told to find a seat upon entering and that when we were ready, we could order our food at the counter. I looked over their menu and found lots of good breakfast taco options, the breakfast burrito I have heard is great, but what really caught my attention was the biscuits and gravy. I was feeling quite ravenous this morning and got the full order for $11 and a side of bacon. They had a table close to the entrance with extra menus, clean cups, water jugs, hot sauces, silverware and napkins. Seemed like a help-yourself vibe which I grabbed everything we would need for our meal. Our food was brought to us rather quickly and my bf ordered the breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs and sausage. He told me it tasted so good and he loved that he could make his own tacos with his food. He let me try one of the hashbrown rounds and it was perfectly crispy! My biscuits and gravy were phenomenal. The biscuits were so fresh and the gravy had a really nice and comforting flavor to it. You could get chorizo and mushrooms in your gravy but i went with a traditional sausage for my protein. My bacon on the side came in a tiny dish but I ate all four pieces haha. Once we finished, there were some bus bins under the same table with the silverware, we placed all our dirty dishes there and cleaned up after ourselves before leaving. I honestly felt so content leaving there and can't wait to return. I really appreciate the ambiance in there with the beautiful plant life, the lights on the ceiling, and cool decor in general. The staff was also SO NICE! Wins everywhere. I also noticed people coming in for takeout which is good to know in case I don't feel like dining in some morning. Please check this place out sometime if you're in the mood for some really good breakfast that doesn't break your bank account.

We stopped in after a late night of work & sports to have a bite on Cinco de Mayo. Although it was…read morebusy, we only waited 5 minutes for a table and our server was incredible! Service was quick, efficient, and everything came out to order. The food was good. We tried a protein bowl, a couple tacos, and a three buds dip trio. The Street Corn dip is amazing, but neither of us were fans of the dirty queso. There was a single piece of chicken in it, which was huge, just not super scoopable! Tacos were delicious. It's already summer at Condado, which also means $6 frozen margs! Of course, I had to indulge and the prickly pear lavender single-handedly will get me back to Condado all summer. My fiancé was eager to watch the Stanley Cup playoffs, so we were delighted to see that there were screens playing popular events and a couple shows to enjoy over dinner. This is a great mix between your typical bar & (non-authentic but tasty) Mexican cuisine.

We really loved this Condado Tacos location! The parking was very convenient, and it was a bonus…read morebeing able to do a little shopping afterward. We went for a family dinner on a Sunday with a group of seven, including two kids, and had a great experience from start to finish. Kids eat free on Sundays, which was such a nice surprise, and the kids' menu is generous with great options--an entrée, a side, and a drink. My husband and I also enjoyed flight night, which was a lot of fun. I tried the strawberry, prickly pear lavender, and harvest pear margaritas. They were all very good--while the prickly pear lavender sounded better than it tasted for me personally, it was still enjoyable. One of my favorite things about Condado is the customization. Their signature creations are great, but being able to build a taco exactly how I want it is my favorite part. And I could honestly live off their corn salsa--it's so good and always a must-have! The restaurant was super clean and not very busy when we visited, so we were seated right away and our food came out quickly. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with our energetic little ones. It was also the first time our parents had eaten at Condado, and they loved it--they're already talking about going back to try more tacos and dips. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend this location!
