I would give zero stars if possible. I'm really surprised this place is in the location that it is in, given the food, the service and the overall experience. When arriving, my wife and I were not even greeted right. The host/waiter (I guess?) was really quiet and just gave us a seat. When sitting down and deciding what to get we were doing fine, but the waiter that helped was very short with us. We decided to go with the 3 dip choice chips and the only dip that we liked was the cheese, everything else was very terribly seasoned. When we got our tacos, I can confidently say this food is not authentic, it's not even tasty. It really was a bit like Taco Bell with a premium price. There was too much sauce, the chicken itself was really badly seasoned, it tasted like bland boiled chicken. At the end our waiter was again rude. The music choice in the restaurant was also BORING. Just overall a truly bad experience. You're better off going to another restaurant. Over priced for a very bad experience. read more

The food was good. I got the easy pleasy burrito. We also got the queso blanco. My friend got the Korean bbq taco and the prime time. The food was good but nothing super special. Since we went at 10 pm the ingredients didn't seem as fresh. The service was good! They were out of one of the tacos and queso we wanted because we went an hour before close on a Friday night. The staff were super kind and gave us a free queso! Service was pretty quick. However, we did have to wait a minute at the front to be greeted and sat. I think due to it not being busy. I think they have a lot of good deals each day and the environment is cool. I liked it though and would go back! read more

Condado Tacos - Daily deals menu - Tacos Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

We came here with a big group on a random Sunday afternoon and they were able to accommodate. But I would suggest calling ahead of time if you have a big group. Parking can be hectic as you have narrow streets and a lot of pedestrians. The structures usually have plenty of spaces available. The food was good. The portions were decent for the price. They have beer, cocktails, mocktails and flavored agua fresca. The waiter was patient and took all of our orders in a timely manner. This is a family friendly place and there is also patio seating. read more

We stopped in here for some additional libations after dining in a different part of town. It was close to our hotel so we got dropped off here. Full Disclosure, we were going to go to the Wine Bar, but they had a private event that night. The bartender was friendly and talked us into trying a new tequila that was pretty good. We also had a few margaritas and they were pretty good. The House tasted a bit "fake" so not sure what they're using for mix, but the upper scale ones (at the bottom of the menu) were a lot better. It's worth the extra couple of bucks. We didn't eat anything, but some bar snacks like chips/salsa or something would have been nice with close to $100 in drinks purchased between 2 people. Maybe that's just how they roll or they forgot. I feel like most bars in Mexican restaurants had something. All in all, it was a good visit, the tequila did it's job and I slept good that night! read more

Came by for margaritas and apps with some friends and thought the food was tasty! We did go towards the end of the night (a little more than a hour before they close), so maybe that is why, but it did feel like service was really slow. There wasn't many people in the restaurant, and we were only a party of 4 so it didn't feel like we were too big. The margaritas are STRONG which was a great surprise. Sometimes you just never know if you're going to taste more tequila or mixer. I thought the queso was a decent queso, pretty on par for most any others, but my group really enjoyed the guacamole, so that was more of the star for our table! read more

We ordered the taco bar for 10 and added the chips and dip package. Everything was delicious, there was plenty for the party and even extra left over, and both the adults and the kids loved being able to make their own tacos. How wonderful it was to have a package that essentially was the whole party - even the serving utensils. We will definitely keep you in mind for future events. read more

General manager greeted me and I ordered a drink, made it clear I was there to order dinner. I was then ignored for over half an hour while I watched an army of employees laughing and playing with their phones in a 1/2 full restaurant. There is a reason they aren't busy on a Saturday night.

August our server was fantastic! Great attitude and knowledgeable on the menu! Good prices for the marg and dip flights.

I love the staff here! Food is excellent. Smoked cheddar queso is the best!! It's such a vibe at night as well. read more

Service good, food was mid at best, tacos were cold. And the margs didn't taste like there was any tequila in it at all. Queso was the only decent item we got. read more

This a definite "1 & DONE" for us! Ate there 2/28 and what a mess. Short staffed. We sat at our table 10min with no one showing up to offer drinks, etc. finally our server showed up. Nice guy (hence the only reason we gave a star at all). He apologized for the wait and admitted not only did 2 other servers call out, but the MANAGER called out too! What manager does that and not make sure there is decent coverage?!? Our server was working OT and slammed. Food was mediocre at next. Basic, and not much taste to the tacos. I ordered a Mango margarita. I have to say, this was the worst margarita I've ever tasted. No hint of mango at all. Our server removed it from the bill thankfully. Aside from our sweet, overworked server, I have zero need to return. read more

Came in during lunch and I had the Braised and Confused and the Mexican Street Corn and I was rather disappointed in the amount of food considering the price point. The taco and the street corn totaled around $12 including tax so I expected at least more corn. The braised and confused taco also had VERY little meat. It felt like the taco was 70% rice, 10% meat, and 20% veggies. read more

Rob's service and attention was amazing!! Great recommendation on the new burrito option (I've only ever had the tacos...and dirty queso, which are also amazing!)...literally one of the best burritos I've ever had. Clean, solid food with amazing flavor. I always go DIRTY at Condado and I'd highly encourage it if you like some To top it off, Rob turned me onto a fantastic beer outside my usual selection. I'm not from Nashville, but will be back in a couple of weeks for work and will definitely be stopping here again!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

We tried to eat here on 2/28 evening, but ended up WALKING OUT because we were completely ignored after being seated for over 15 minutes. We weren't even offered water! We watched another party that was seated before us walk out as well. Here's the thing. This restaurant was nearly EMPTY on a Saturday night when all of the other restaurants in McEwen Northside were packed with a wait. They are not going to be able to pay their rent at this rate. Management needs to get their act together - STAT! We won't be back. read more

The food was bland and not very good. Nachos didn't have any cheese and when we brought this to the waiters attention they said that was common complaint. Took the entire meal for the waiter to bring us queso to make the nachos actual nachos. The waiter was not responsive or helpful. He kept saying he was busy but there were like 4 other tables of families in the whole place so they were not busy. Overall a bad experience and we will not go back. Ambiance was fine. Just bad service and sub par food. read more

Short story: I didn't care for the food. The staff of very kind and welcoming. I also liked the decor and ambiance. The outdoor seating was welcoming and the staff attentive. We ordered the street corn guac, which was good. It went south from there when we ordered 6 tacos for 2 people. Both my friend and I could only eat one of our tacos each because the others were so doused in sauce that they just weren't tasty. We didn't have the heart to tell the waitress. The tacos were generously filled but they're so covered in sauce that you don't even know what you're eating. No bueno. Sorry. read more

Delicious tacos, my favorite meal when visiting from California. Their queso is unbelievably good. I love how customizable their menu is and how many plant based options they have. Everything is amazing! read more

I was super excited to try Condado which now has several convenient spots in Nashville. I was sadly disappointed by their tacos I believe they were prepared correctly but just weren't very good. I didn't like that rice was added as an ingredient in the specialty tacos. It isn't needed and was a bland white rice and didn't add to the flavor. I tried shrimp taco which was surprising spicy but not flavorful and one of the brisket tacos. Service was efficient but forgetful. The dips were very good though! Loved the elote, pineapple guac, and chorizo queso. I would absolutely go back for margs and a dip trio but would skip the tacos read more

Service over here is super bad and people are so slow the guy who work on front don't know bathing what's going on. Was so rude when ask for our order. Never going back over there again. read more

Went today around 1 (Sunday) party of 3, not busy at all. Waitress was dressed very sloppy and was not friendly at all. Observed her sitting at the bar multiple times playing on her phone and the male waiter kept going into the kitchen and coming out eating food.. took quite a while to get our food and none of it was hot. Highly unimpressed, will not be back. Also very pricey! $97 for 3 and we all had water for drinks. read more

Condado Tacos debuted in Columbus, Ohio, in 2014 before spreading to six additional states. The franchise arrived in Tennessee in the fall of 2021, beginning with a spot in Nashville's Capitol Hill neighborhood that August. Ten weeks later, this particular store opened in the trendy McEwen Northside community on the southern periphery of Cool Springs. The block-long western branch of Aspen Grove Drive is filled with fashionable eateries anchoring towering office buildings, and Condado brings dining diversity to the scene. But does it measure up to the competition, including several highly touted taco options within a mere three miles? Pros: The variety of proteins and toppings is impressive, from cilantro-lime aioli and chipotle crema to tequila-lime steak and Korean BBQ pulled jackfruit. The beef brisket and roasted chicken are great bases for tacos and nachos. The pickled onions add tremendous flavor to any dish. The fajita peppers are decent, but their corn salsa is a better option. Cons: Nothing is hot. At all Condado Tacos, it is standard protocol for all dishes to come out cold, which is acceptable for tacos but an odd choice for nachos! The pepper jack cheese is listed as spicy on the menu, but it's pretty bland. It's also served cold and not melted into your nachos. The Middlefield smoked cheddar is flavorless. For that matter, any cheese on any dish is incredibly sparse! The chips and corn tortilla shells are too thick for my preference, and the house-made chorizo is underwhelming. This is essentially a glorified Taco Bell for a lot more money and slightly better ingredients. But at least the brisket is pretty memorable, the environment is great, and the servers are wonderful. read more

Update -- came here again for the sweet chili tofu taco. Finally! I've never seen this anywhere else, except for Barrio. It was delicious, and the pre-selected accompaniments for the taco really complement it. Great option for the vegetarian who is accompanying their carnivorous friends to tacos night. The waitress was super fast and sweet and kind. read more

I've eaten at another location and everything was 5star worthy..So i decided to try this location, Its my birthday so why not ,made a reservation, when i walked through the door ,took 7 minutes to be acknowledged mind you other people were coming in the rude lady/waitress hollered from the bar Do you have pick up I didn't know who she was talking to, she finally walked over to me and said do you have a pick up, i said no i have a reservation for 8 ,mind you its been 15 minutes, she said let me clean off a table at this point im confused because usually if you have a reservation everything is ready when you get there and no they weren't busy , other patrons started walking out, fast forward to food not good,cold, salty and another thing i guess he was the manager i watched him walk outside with food it was 1 guest out there that was waiting to order food and we were the only party on the inside he walked right past us then he finally comes over with that food that he done been all outside with , saying here's your food my guest kindly declined it he asked why she told him about walking past us and all outside with the food. We asked for for our tickets, they did remove items off the ticket that was not right . We left hungry and disappointed read more

Amazing food, drinks and atmosphere! Jenna the bartender is amazing and always makes us feel welcome!

Still, and always will be, one star. For valentines day, every restaurant in this location is absolutely packed. Run into Condado, which was almost completely empty to grab a drink with a customer. Sat at the bar for 7-10 minutes, and nobody came to wait on us. Walked out. Not one person acknowledged us Came next door to Neighbors, and were taken care of immediately. I would t expect anything else from this crappy place. read more

Don't come here service sucks and so does the management. Server split 3 drinks in my friend fully in her lap and we were told the drinks would be comped (we got the 2 for $20 flights). Once we got the checks, I said "sorry I thought she had said these would be removed?" And the server said "oh my gosh yes I am so sorry I will get that fixed right away" all of the sudden an angry woman manager showed up stating "I hear theirs an upset with the flights" with an attitude problem. And then after I explained proceeded to talk down to me stating "well you did get your drinks remade correct?" That's not the problem angry lady. The problem was yall spilt not 1, not 2, but THREE drinks on someone, said drinks would be comped, and then show up all heated and causing a scene when I simply asked a question (very nicely). Do not come here. read more

My wife wanted to try this place. I didn't really feel like paying $ 5.00 for a taco. We went today, and I'm glad we went. Sunday, around 11.00 am. Service was good. The interior was painted, almost like graffiti, but I can dig it. They had several TV's to watch the game .We are definitely going back. They had a full bar and specialty alcoholic beverages. If you can't find a taco on the menu that you like, you can create or build your own taco with the ingredients that you prefer. read more

Very underwhelmed. It's always a bummer when Mexican restaurants don't offer complimentary chips and salsa. But after tipping $4 on a $20 TAKEOUT meal and then being told I have to pay for a side of salsa...good luck with that business model. Worst of all though, the burrito bowl was literally 90% bland cheap rice with a thin film of toppings dusted over the top. I should have known when inside the restaurant was all but empty during the dinner time rush hour. Last time going here. read more

Condado Tacos - Burrito bowl...90% Rice - Tacos Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

The Franklin TN location is a ZERO stars establishment. Never given a restaurant a low rating but this place is terrible. My first time in and they tell me that they are on at least a 30 minute wait for a takeout order. I work here in this neighborhood, and can assure you that my first time in their doors will be my last. Almost no staff on hand, most tables empty but un-cleared. A terrible first look for a new customer. read more

Dined here twice, underwhelmed both times. It's a bummer, because the ambiance and location are great. First off I think the lack of free chips and salsa is a mistake. It's not really a money issue... I'm happy to pay for good food. But it's customary at literally every other Mexican restaurant I've been too, including the upscale ones. And when you do take the plunge to pay, it's definitely not better quality than the free stuff. It's very meh... I came in on a slow Monday night (10 people max inside), sat at the bar and waited for probably 15 minutes before I was greeted. Not OK when there was only 1 other person at the bar... was about 30 sec away from walking out. There are far too many good choices nearby to deal with that. I've tried probably 5 tacos between the two visits. 2-3 were good, 2 were not. It's just not satisfying enough to come back. read more

This is my first Yelp review, and I'm writing it to express just how bad our experience here was, if that tells you anything. We were the only people there eating and it was just BAD. The entire restaurant felt very unclean and unprofessional. The waitress was in pajamas and just not helpful. There was also a worker eating their dinner at the bar (again, we were the only people there) and the whole experience was just bizarre and felt so unclean. Unfortunately I would not recommend this restaurant to any more. read more

I was looking forward to checking this place out, but have to say we walked out from our experience underwhelmed. I will start off in saying the environment itself is fun and funky with good music and the staff was awesome - very attentive at the Bar (Ronnie & another female employee - sorry I forgot your name - were fantastic). If I could base my review on that experience alone it would be a 4-5 star. My issue was the food and drink, which is a staple with any Mexican cuisine! The house margarita pitcher was during HH, so tried to give it a bit of grace, but after drinking it, I would be never order it again. It tasted completely like a not so great, pre-made lime mix from a liquor store. Presentation was cute, but I would not order that...maybe try a different margarita? ‍ The chips were good and so were the dips, so on that! We tried the following dips: Pineapple Salsa, Pico Guacamole & Queso with Corn and all were good. But the tacos....Meh. The best taco we had was the Brisket one (Braised & Confused taco) and it was decent: meat was good and so was the pickled part but it had a lot of toppings. Also the soft tortillas they serve with the taco are cold, so that threw me off. We also had the Korean BBQ taco and it was average...I've had some amazing ones in my life and this one wasn't high in the list - overly sweet and the cheese sauce was hard and cold pretty quickly. Also had a steak taco (Bad Habit taco) that had this weird cinnamon cumin flavor, which I thought was odd and they explained it's part of the chorizo...just let chorizo be on its own without too much seasoning, it works! Most of the food temp was lukewarm with a cold soft tortilla, and they explained it's because all the toppings were cold, but I thought that was odd. The double tortilla (crispy and a soft tortilla) is interesting, but might work better warmed. Overall not sure I would come back. We were excited about this place opening up, but it's probably more of a grab some chips & dip and beer place. Still confused by all the high star reviews, but everyone has different tastes. read more

Lovely evenings in Franklin are best spent dining outdoors and Condado Tacos has a great outdoor space. Also looked like a nice indoor spot. Our server was quite friendly and responsive. Gave us an extra moment to review the menu without making us feel forgotten. I had the Marguerita Sampler: Jalepeno, Pineapple and Pomegranate. Jalepeno was definitely the best. The pomegranate was really too sweet for me. Fun idea, a bit on the pricey side for what you get. For dinner I had the traditional taco and the Blue Dream. Traditional was a bit plain taste wise. I liked the combination of soft and crunchy shells in the Blue Dream. read more

We were actually pleasantly surprised by this place. I love the concept of being able to get any and all toppings without being robbed per topping with extra prices. The nachos were filling and evenly coated with toppings. My only complaint was in my bowl, I asked for light rice, but the entire bowl was rice. Maybe she didn't hear me or maybe that was a lighter version, but next time I know to say no rice at all. Outside of that, it really was a great meal that wasn't too pricey. I'll try the tacos next time as opposed to the bowl. The sauces are really tasty and again, not being charged an arm and a leg for unlimited toppings is really awesome. We will come back again! read more

Good tacos in a new location at McEwen Northside with a cool vibe, with a menu that is rather extensive and very customizable. The food is a little mixed. The Avocado Ranch dressing for example is excellent. I found the ground beef to not have very much flavor. The Kewl Ranch hard taco shell was delicious. The Korean BBQ taco wasn't as flavorful as I would have expected. Mixed overall, but if you find the right ingredients you can get a great taco. Top Tip: If you get a flavored hard shell taco (like the delicious Kewl Ranch) DO NOT go with the option to have a soft flour tortilla added to the outside. If you do, you won't really taste the hard shell taco. The service was a little bit slow, but I chalked that up to the place being new, and probably short-staffed like so many businesses right now. I was happy with the food overall, and have realized that you really need to find the right flavors to build a taco that is great versus just good. I strongly recommend using the Build Your Own option so you can customize any taco just the way you like it. The vibe is really great too, with graffiti-style murals on all of the walls, in an open space, with outdoor tables available as well. read more

When we arrived the seats were not full. The staff was overworked and harried. We waited 10 minutes with no seating. We were outside and when our turn was close we stepped inside and decided not to eat. The hostess' shirt was dirty and torn. The empty tables looked sticky and the vibe was way off. This was two weeks ago and the experience stuck with me. read more

My company actually ordered from this restaurant for an office catered lunch for about 40 people - And I have to say it was pretty good. Since I moved from CO to TN there is really NO good Mexican food here in TN - but this place had that Tex-Mex flair to it- I loved the taco shells, they were not like the generic store bought kind they were freshly made, crispy and toasted to perfection. The ground hamburger actually had flavor, now the chicken was a little salty but ok also. I would for sure go to the actual restaurant in person and would suggest catering here again! read more
