Today i got take out from here. My tacos were so good. Everything tasted beautifully and warm. I was so happy that I decided to try the bud box. I loved that lucys fire taco && bad habit taco. And that was the first time I had stuffed queso. It's typically the original. read more

Condado Tacos - Bill, from my amazing coworker getting us lunch - Tacos Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

My initial experience here wasn't anything special--I opted for creating my own tacos and they were fairly standard, and both looked and tasted like something I could have made at home. However, I've since returned and had the occasion to try more of the menu and/or some of the featured tacos and enjoyed them. The ingredients were fresh and the tacos were enjoyable. The taco shells and tortillas are probably not made in house, but they are tasty and substantial. I also recently tried the Mexican Street Corn Dip, which was wasn't really to my liking, it didn't really seem to have the consistency of a dip as much as a salad. All in all, it's worth a visit but I'd probably try the premade configurations over the build your own options. read more

I've heard really good things about this place, and have had it on my short list of places to visit in Royal Oak for some time. I wanted to go sooner and dine in, but due to Covid-19 restrictions, that got put on hold. Since I was out here on this side of town running errands, I figured I could finally stop in and have a good meal. I know it's not a traditional taco place, and they put their own spin on the food here. I was excited to try something different for once, and wasn't sure what to get. After I was seated, I reviewed the menu for a bit and couldn't decide what to get. I chose to get two of the braised and confused tacos since I couldn't decide on what to get with the build your own tacos. It doesn't come with a side of rice or beans and it does cost extra, so I passed on it. I was hungry, but not *that* hungry anyway. I really liked the braised and confused tacos, and they were quite filling. The portions are decently sized, so two did it for me. I could have had a third but that would have been to much for me at that time. Also, after reviewing the menu again, I realized that I think they only have black beans available and I don't even know if it's a side or something you add on to the tacos. I'm not a huge fan of black beans in most forms, and if I'm having Mexican, I prefer the traditional re-fried beans served at most places. But, this place is pretty "non traditional" in the sense that it's not just regular old Mexican food, which I am totally fine with. I probably could have done a side of rice, but that was more of an after thought when I was done with my meal. For my two tacos and a pop, with tip it was about $15. I could have spent closer to $20 if I was starving, and while this is on the more expensive end for me, it really is a nice treat to have a good meal like this. Seating here is ample, and they do have a patio, which is great especially with the weather being so nice. On the same note, I wouldn't say that this place is really a spot for large gatherings either. It's not small, but the biggest tables seemed to be for 6. (not a place I would have a large happy hour gathering for parties more than that.) Overall, I really enjoyed my meal here and would gladly go again in the future. My only complaint was the lighting in here was extremely dark and made it difficult to see the menu. It was so dark I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read and see what was going on. The server didn't say a peep about it even though she was at my table no less than 3 times prior to me ordering. No, I didn't say anything about it because I was able to use my flashlight, but maybe I felt like I was ordering in the dark for a bit due to the very low lighting. read more

Madeline was awesome! she was friendly, fast, and just an all around great waitress. we had a great experience because of her!

When stuck at home during quarantine, what could be better than some fresh tacos? We picked up from Condado recently and it definitely hit the spot. Curbside pickup available during quarantine - combined with online ordering, makes it very easy! We ordered 2 of the Bud Boxes, which come with 2 signature tacos of your choice, chips, and side of guac or queso. I got a Dutch Dragon and an El Tradicional. The Dutch Dragon was amazing - I loved the fresh jicama and the MUSHROOMS! And the El Tradicional, which I chose for the chorizo, did not disappoint. Slightly spicy, very flavorful, fresh soft taco shell. The guac side that they provide in the Bud Box is a big serving! I was pleasantly surprised. Chips are very fresh, too. My only qualm with the experience was that the tacos were kind of cold, but considering that we did carry out and I had trouble finding parking at first, I figured that was to be expected. When we bust out of quarantine, I would like to come in for a sit down dinner and try building my own taco! read more

Condado Tacos - Clockwise from top left: El Tradicional, Side of Guac, chips, Dutch Dragon - Tacos Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Visited for the first time tonight and was disappointed. The food was underwhelming, the service was bad, and it was pricey. The location on Main St is nice. The patio was open, which was welcomed. I'll start with the bland, unseasoned food. I didn't know "Tex-Mex" food could be so flavorless. Yes, there's a slew of less-than-mediocre salsas, cheeses and sauces you can add to it. Unfortunately, that doesn't increase or improve the flavor. This is the blandest food I've ever eaten (or tried to eat). How they managed to take fresh Whole Foods and use them in a typically bright and colorful cuisine and still accomplish no flavor is truly a mystery to me. After spending $100 on dinner, I can honestly say I would have been FAR more satisfied with $10 of Taco Bell. The service was exceptionally slow, with multiple employees telling us how busy they were -- but never apologizing. The service was not attentive and we found ourselves looking for the server (or anyone who'd help really) all throughout the meal. My hardy recommendation is to skip this place! read more

We came here on a warm Sunday after the zoo for lunch. We had a party of 6 and were seated right away. We ordered margaritas and nachos. The nachos came so fast and were probably one of the best nachos I have ever had. The chips were not soggy. The toppings were fresh and delicious. I ordered a build your own bowl and really enjoyed it. Husband had a steak bowl and he really enjoyed that too. They were accommodating to my 5 year old nephew. Overall we really enjoyed our meal and we will be back again. read more

We went here our first night in Ann Arbor and it was so good. I definitely recommend any of the queso! It's a pretty big bowl so for two people we didn't even finish the salsa we got. We both got two tacos but after the queso probably could've just gotten two. They were all so good. Definitely coming here everytime we're in town from Utah! read more

Condado Tacos - El Santo El Santo Plain Jane Ooey-Gooey - Tacos Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

Nixie was great all star juggling multiple sat and very personable had a great time and very well priced

Disappointing in most every way possible. Very limited pay street parking, nearby pay garages. Inside is a dark open space with a mix of mass tables with stools, a small bar, and smaller tables with normal chairs. Exciting graffiti paint on the wall, and custom paper towel and order sheet holders. You order via order sheets, think sushi ordering but asking for custom tacos. That was cool. That was when it went off the rails. Our server wasn't feeling it. Didn't know the drink menu, wasn't sure about much, and also decided coming by to check on us wasn't his gig. 20 minutes after we ordered tacos, no tacos. The server BSed us about custom takes time, but the place was only 25% full. The chips for the dip were awful. They had no salt, no lime, no spice. A manager or owner came by, I politely told him they were no good, he got new ones 10 minutes later that were better. The tacos weren't that good, the chip dip was only okay. The staff is lazy and ill informed. There are better places to spend your time and money in Royal Oak read more

Condados is the GOAT. Stop reading this and just go there right now. Best tacos I have ever consumed. Best Tex-Mex food ever. Would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Food/Drink 5/5 Nothing short of amazing. Lots of good selections. They have pre made tacos or you could customize everything the way you want. Drinks are fire too. I really can't say anything bad about the place. Portions are large, price point is perfect. You haven't lived till you've eaten at condados Service 5/5 Again, amazing. Let's leave it at that. Seated very quickly and staff were very friendly Ambience 5/5 Very vibrant atmosphere. Lots of good music and lots of televisions if you want to go and just watch games A little loud at times, but still able to hold conversations. read more

Omg, yum! I'm so glad we decided to check them out on Saturday. Delicious and affordable tacos that aren't appetizer sized! I love the decor here - kind of trippy cartoon fun. The bar is beautiful, which is where we sat. The bartender was friendly and happy to explain things on the menu to us. I started with the Delicioso margarita, and I think it's one of my new favorite drinks. Muddled with fresh jalapeno, it was refreshing and spicy at the same time. Muy delicioso! They have a good array of tequila; we each also had a shot of Casamigos mezcal - smooth and smoky! They have a small menu of rotating specials, and we started with the pom & pear guac, topped with queso fresco and a little simple syrup. Man, this guac was good! The pear and pomegranate added the perfect amount of texture and sweetness while the queso was nice and salty. The chips are also homemade and really yummy, so don't skip the guac or chips and salsa here. We all ordered a few things - my Dad ordered the nachos which could easily feed 4-6 people as an appetizer, or you could order JUST that as an entree. The amazing thing is, they're only $7.50! These are a SUPER value. We all had different tacos - everyone was very happy. My Mom ordered 2 tacos, and with the guac appetizer and nachos she shared with my Dad, she took one home. I ordered 3 of the vegetarian varieties and I took one home as well. With tacos only being $4 each, this place is a great deal. I ordered 3 of their "house" tacos - there are 2 menus: build your own and house suggestions. I love that you can build your own - it makes it very easy for people with food sensitivities or preferences. It looks like there are gluten-free as well as vegan options. My favorites were the jackfruit taco and the breakfast taco. Delish! The taco with roasted mushrooms just needed something a little creamy to round it out, I think. Lastly, they make all their own hot sauces, and the dirty sauce is GOOD. It's hot, but it has a delicious smoky flavor that really takes the food to the next level. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu! And at these awesome prices, we're sure to come back soon. read more

Condados has become one of my go to late night spots. If you can't count on any place else, you can count on Condados. The Detroit or Royal Oak location always put my worrying late night stomach at ease. I usually stick to the Mantis Tacos, Jackfruit Nachos, and Chips and Tuscan Guacamole, Traditional Guacamole and Black Bean Queso. Overall, gets the job done. Check them out. read more

Hands down the best customer service and consistently yummy Tex-Mex!! Placed a $500+ order for a party via Uber Eats. Ends up coming LATE and wouldn't you know it.... The driver only brought the CHIPS. So I called Condado's fully expecting them to tell me to take up the issue with UberEats and not only had they already been trying to get in contact with Uber Eats since the driver left but the manager himself drove the order to our house! We cheered when he came in the door LOL Food was super yummy too, as usual. Lots of options for special diets! read more

I recently started working in downtown Royal Oak and I could not stop hearing great things about this place! On my first day they catered our lunch. Everything was so fresh and tasty! Everything was packaged neatly and nothing spilled out. I would recommend ordering for a party! Today I stopped by with a co-worker for lunch. Being new to the business world I was worried about not being back to work on time. Service was so fast yet not rushed. I had the Korean BBQ tacos. They were amazing. The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and had gochujang bbq sauce. The sauce was spicy but not too hot. It paired perfectly with the sweet salsa. The shell was so unique and had queso in between the shift and hard shell. I would say if you are in downtown Royal oak this is a definite must hit! read more

First visit to this place and it was great for the most part. They have a build your own taco menu. They also have premade suggestions. We didn't mean to but ended up ordering nachos and 6 tacos, 4 premade and 2 build your own. There was confusion because we tried to combine up 2 people's order on one sheet. DONT DO THAT. The tacos come out unlabelled and you have to smell to figure out which is which. It's kinda dark in there so we couldn't really tell just from looking as they were made similarly. We ordered nachos. Amazing. And we had wayyyy to much food. So maybe nachos and 1 taco. Or 2-3 tacos per person without any appetizers. We had margaritas which were not very strong but tasted great. They are a good value on happy hour but pretty pricey during regular hours. Tacos are $1 off on happy hour. We ordered 4 tacos during happy hour but our server and us miscommunicated and there was also some practices that didn't make sense so we ended up paying full price for all of them. Gonna drop stars on that. Our bill for 2 people was $50. It should have been $42 if it weren't for the mistakes on everyone's part. When the bill came I was asked to pay without seeing the itemized bill. So I didn't know for sure that I was overcharged until I had selected the tip and signed my bill. I don't like that. It seems unintentionally shady. The food was great so we will be back but I'll keep track of the bill or withhold the tip until I see the bill, then pay in cash for the tip. read more

Good food, friendly service. We both enjoyed a Ginger beer (non-alcoholic) on their outdoor seating area. I enjoyed two tacos called the El Tradicional with Chorizo. I probably should have ordered more tacos or an Appetizer to feed my hungry belly. :) The taco were $3.25 each. The quality of the food makes it worth coming back. Got a craving for tacos? You choose the type of taco off the menu . For example, choose all the toppings and hard/soft shell or just beans and rice bowl, and types sauces. I would recommend this fine establishment for their delicious tacos. read more

This place lives up to the hype! I was surprised to see it has an average 5-star rating (to be fair, it's only been open 3 days though), which is super high. Some friends and I came here tonight for it's "official" first day open. You can either make your own taco combinations or choose from preset combos - one friend did the preset tacos and another friend and I did the make your own. For one taco, I had a hard shell with steak, I think corn salsa, fajita peppers and onions, and a few other toppings; for the other, I did a soft shell with pulled pork, pineapple salsa (!), cilantro crema, etc. Both were excellent. One friend got a taco within a taco - I believe it was the Firecracker taco - and really enjoyed that. I also got a blackberry margarita, which was good but could have been sweeter ... I like sweet drinks. For the grand opening today they were doing 1 free taco and half-off margaritas, which was nice - they do happy hour too, I believe Monday-Friday, and have half-off margaritas then as well. This only applies to the flavored/regular margaritas though, not the flight ($15), which I originally wanted to try. Waitservice was fantastic, too, which is rare for a first week open ... our waitress constantly checked on us to see if we needed water refills, and they had other waiters/waitresses/runners checking as well. She even kept checking on us after we had paid our bills when were hanging around chatting. The tacos are $3.50 each here which is a little pricey (and then stuff like steak was a 50 cent upcharge) but IMO you get what you pay for ... all of the quality was very good. Ironically, it's right next-door to Mesa (another taco place), but I've never really liked their food ... I'll definitely be back to Condado at some point to make another combination of tacos! read more

One thing is for certain - I love tacos. Probably more than the average person. Therefore, if I ever read up on a place that is changing the taco scene - Show me! The neighborhood is what I love the most about Condado Tacos - it's modern, it's up and coming, it's diverse, and there is so much to choose from on the foodie scene. Now for the for the food. Some of the taco choices were average but most of them were custom creations that you could choose from OR you had the option to create your own. I had a taco that was held together by a "Sweet Lucy" shell - a flour and corn shell that is fused together by cheese and guacamole in the middle. Yes, you read that right. They also have the option of a shell called "The Peezler" where a flour and corn shell are held together by bacon refried beans, guac, AND sour cream! Want the option of veggie tacos? They have a bbq jackfruit or Thai chili tofu tacos! In addition, their margaritas are refreshing and every bit of appetizing as their tacos. Go in, grab a seat and a taco, and wash it down with a drink! read more

In all honesty, I was unsure how I'd feel about these tacos, but I was pleasantly surprise how good they are! They have some unique flavors, and are a little pricy, but they have very unique tacos to try, and I would highly recommend them! I'll definitely be back! read more

I had a great time here. Everyone enjoyed their food. I am vegetarian and had a hard time choosing what to eat, doesn't happen often! The taco bowl on special with veggie chorizo instead of chicken was delicious. will go back! read more

Do we think Condado Tacos realizes that in a lot of their locations, they are located around tons of other things that are more desirable than them? I feel like of the locations I've been to and people I've talked to about their experience at Condado as well, everyone has just happened upon it. No one ever intentionally goes out thinking they're going to eat at Condado but rather because everywhere else people would rather eat is too busy, so people choose Condado as a much later choice. At this Royal Oak location, for example, it's located right on Main Street and also right next door to Ale Mary's and Tom's Oyster Bar, just to name a few. Everywhere else was so busy, people spilling out onto the front patio areas and waiting outside the restaurants too. Meanwhile, Condado, which only has the one table on their patio, had a party there and maybe one or two other parties inside, but the rest was completely empty. It was during happy hour as well! How mind boggling! Don't get me wrong though, the food here is actually pretty good! I feel like their chips could be better, but all the tacos I've had here and other apps I've tried have definitely been solid. It's mystifying to me though that every time I walk into a Condado, even during peak lunch or dinner hour, and on weekends, it's never busy. So if you're ever jonesing for some tacos and don't want to wait, a safe bet would be Condado! I heard their margaritas are delicious as well, and I love their queso too. The only salsa worth having, especially if you do the trio dip of salsas & queso, is the pineapple salsa - that one SLAPPED. All tacos are great too, so get whichever ones sound good to you! read more

It is not too often that I go out for tacos. I am happy that I did here at Condado! The five tacos I tried here were nothing but flavorful and unlike any taco I have had before. - Cali Green - Ooey-Gooey - Lucy's Fire - El Santro - Up in Smoke - Traditional Guacamole: The guacamole itself was delicious; however, I was not a fan of the giant pieces of purple onion on top. It should have been more finely and evenly chopped. Although the tacos here are incredibly delicious, I cannot give Condado a 5/5 star review because of two reasons. The missing 1/5 star are a result of the poor lighting and the menu layout. - The restaurant's lighting is way too dim. The restaurant has an upbeat and lively atmosphere to it; the extremely dim lighting contradicts the vibes here. Honestly, I should not have to turn on the flash on my camera in order to take a photo of food at a restaurant (ever). - The menu layout is just poorly formatted. From the very second I received the menu, my instant reaction was one that questioned why the menu was laid out the way it was. It could have better presentation and designed in a way that is easier to follow. I would recommend that management and owners of the restaurant take time to better design their menu's appearance. I will end this review by also recommending Condado to any person who desires flavorful tacos. Condado is a restaurant that I plan to return to again. read more

First of all if you are looking for good Mexican food. This is not the place for you. The tacos are comparable to fast food chains and they always come out cold. They taste like a 97 cent taco you get at a chain fast food place. I asked the server if they could remake them and they did but they were still cold. The server mentioned the cooks get mad when they send back food but she would take it off our bill. So I'm writing this review to let you know the tacos suck kitchen/manager staff. If your looking for drinks this place is good. Besides that I would not recommend it. read more

I've never had better tacos in my life. And I'll have to re-evaluate how I judge any future Taco because of this experience. First and foremost, you should get yourself some delicious mango margaritas. Second, for chips and dip, I recommend doing the Three Buds: elote queso, pineapple salsa and whatever else you want for your third. The Guac was just ok. Third: don't be a fool and try to make your own taco. These people are geniuses with their tacos so look under the Taco Suggestions, close your eyes and make a random selection. You will not be disappointed. I had Lucy's Fire, Bubba Kush and the Sweet Heat. The bubba kush with its jackfruit bbq sauce and that amazing pulled pork was my favorite. But these tacos are not your typical two to three bite tacos. These are luxurious and gigantic. Fast for the whole day until you get here. It's also a really cool place to be, it's right on main, the wait wasn't too long and you can hear yourself talk inside. They're also corona friendly... beer and virus-wise. read more
