Great menu and options for vegan. Now if you have never tried cactus tacos then think before you do. It's very bitter, I wouldn't recommend but the other tacos I got vegan style were awesome! The margs were great, but I loved all the vegan salsas they had! read more

Being originally from the Midwest, I had no idea Mexican food could be so dynamic and delicious. La Santisima was suggested to me by a coworker who lives locally. My wife and I try and visit La Santisima weekly and are working through their humongous menu. Every thing we have ordered was delicious and the customer service was great. The Oaxacan Black Mole Burro and Quesa has been one of my favorite entrees here along with the Queso appetizer. read more

Excellent food, sooOOOoo many choices! I love the atmosphere too, some very beautiful sugar skull art! Cabo shrimp tacos are amazing! They also have a signature margarita named after the restaurant, ask for the chili rim. :) Great food and fabulous service! Show them some love! read more

The mole here is amazing, you can't got wrong with anything but you must try the mole at least once. The fish tacos are great and I always get at least one anytime I go. read more

My parents taught me, "when you don't have something nice to say, then don't say anything at all." Yelp has taught me, "when you don't have something nice to say, tell it like it is." Sorry mom and dad, Yelp FTW! I like my restaurants how I like my style, un-cramped; unfortunately, this place is packed full with wall to wall tables and chairs leaving about 3 inches in between you and the guy at the table next to you. Don't plan to come here during the lunch rush with a big group, you're lucky if you can fit one or two people through the door. The parking isn't that appealing either, you are practically parked in the middle of 16th street traffic. :-/ La Condesa makes a pretty good taco, and their salsa ain't bad either. To their benefit, they do have some fairly unique salsa's to choose from, such as strawberry, peanut, and pecan; but in my opinion, unique doesn't necessarily = awesome. Any of their tacos will do you right, but my favorite is their pork. In my opinion, and lets face it, if you're reading my review, that's exactly what you're looking for right? La Condesa over stated when they went with Gourmet in the name. Sure, everybody likes their taco's but who wants to pay $9 for two tacos and leave feeling like they were packed in like sardines in the middle of a seedy neighborhood? If it isn't obvious yet, I don't plan on coming back soon, I can take or leave their salsas and tacos and wouldn't be bothered either way. Happy Yelping Phoenix, hope you find that hidden taco gem you've always been searching for. read more

Santi and I came to La Santisima looking for a good Mexican fare, and walked away pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. The small, squared-shaped interior included a small dining area, a full salsa bar, kitchen, and a small bar area in the back. The wall-to-wall paintings and artifacts were striking, and nicely added to the casual and festive atmosphere. The menu consisted of an eclectic listing of gourmet tacos, street tacos, burros, deep-fried corn quesadillas, and lonches. The Al Pastor Burro ($8.95) arrived with spicy pork, homemade salsa, pineapple, tomato, lettuce, guacamole, onion, cilantro, avocado, and al pastor salsa. The burro was tightly wrapped in hot pressed tortilla. The spicy pork was nicely seasoned with sweet pineapple to brighten the flavors. The rest of the supportive ingredients added subtle touches and kicks. The textures of the onions, lettuce, and tomato were noticeable, but I wished there could be more guacamole to round out the flavors. The burro was sizable, and good to share when cut in half. I recommend it. The Aztec Tinga Taco and Maya Cochinita Pibil Taco ($9.39) came with rice, black beans with Oaxacan cheese, and two sizable double-decked tacos with shredded meat and red onions layered on top. The Tinga Taco encompassed tender shredded chicken, tomato, and chipotle salsa. I wished there could be more chicken, but the taco was mouthwatering delicious. The Cochinita Pibil was made with pork shoulder wrapped and slow cooked in banana leaves, lime marinated onions and salsa to add acidity and sharpness. Their distinctive taste from one another made the experience worthwhile. The rice and black beans were not simple fillers, but instead they were surprisingly flavorful and addictive. The Tialoc Veggie Burro ($8.95) was put together with mesquite-grilled cactus, caramelized onion, garlic, tomato, mushrooms, jalapeno, and Oaxacan cheese in a tightly wrapped hot pressed tortilla. Personally, I prefer the soft, spongy, and stretchable flour tortillas, but the firm and hot pressed version was surprisingly good, resilient, and held everything together quite well. The grilled cactus came in large pieces, and the pleasant textures nicely complemented the generous earthy mushrooms. The Burro could taste bland for some people, but the addition of melted Oaxcan cheese added nuances to the sweet and savory flavors. If I were to order this again, I would add guacamole and more cheese to the mix. Lastly, the Arabe Burro ($12.99) had plenty of al pastor, hummus, aguacate, pastor salsa, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado, red pepper, and Tzatziki dressing on top. In this case, cognitive dissonance can be a good thing, as this Arabic-inspired burro was a hit. The sweet and spicy pastor coupled nicely with the smooth hummus, and the support ingredients rounded out the flavors by bridging flavors of the two worlds. This is one of the worthy items for those looking for an adventure, along with their great looking deep-fried corn quesadillas at many tables. The chips were refilled upon request. Among the 12-salsa options, my favorites were the chunky chipotle, smoky Cabo, sweet pecan, spicy Mexicana, peanut, and spicy avocado. Unfortunately, the cilantro salsa had an overpowering sour cream flavor, and some of the other options were too watery, didn't register, or live up to my expectations. The restaurant can get very busy throughout the day, so service was not their strongest attribute on each visit. The food took some time to arrive, but the salsa bar and complimentary chips were there to scale down the hunger pains. I thought the prices were a bit higher than San Francisco and Los Angeles. However, there was a nice mix of original and innovative flavors to set them apart. Quality-wise, the food was less greasy when compared to a traditional taqueria. Interested diners should come open minded, and not expecting the most authentic fare. I hope to return to try their Oaxacan Shrimp Mole Burro, Chicken Mole Street Taco, and Pumpkin Flan. 3.5 stars for the overall experience. read more

As someone who's travels to Southern California a few times a year, I sort of know my Mexican food especially as it comes to street tacos and such. I do admit this place has more protein for your tacos than any other Mexican restaurant I've been in. It can also be overwhelming the number of choices but at $3.99-$6.50 for a single taco, the prices are pretty high so I had some high expectations. What I can say is that the al pastor tacos were dry, in fact tasted like tree bark in terms of texture. The braised pork was good though but the tortas were very interesting, it came out on a toasted French baguette. It was decent but I had to put quite a bit of salsa in it to moisten it up due to it again being very dry. Imagine dry meat on a toasted French baguette. What I believe does set this place apart is their amazing salsa bar, it's self serve and unlimited. You get your first bowl of chips on the house, refills are $2.70. The other thing that stood out was the horchata, it had fresh ground cinnamon, some oats and bits of strawberries on the bottom. It was very interesting, but nonetheless, was very good. We also had a strawberry margarita, tasted more like sugar water with a half shot of a tequila and very very sweet. I believe the strawberry margarita was $9.00, so it was a little high. If I ever go back, I think I'll stick with the horchata instead of their margaritas. They said an hour wait for two, we waited outside for 30 minutes and was called, so at least that's nice. A tip is to write your name, party size and phone number on the waiting list, they will call you when your table is ready. And no waiting inside either, all waiting is outside. read more

After two consecutive, relishing visits, I have declared La Condesa as my numero uno taco joint in the valley of the "Bertos". The obscure and hoody street it resides on has always kept me hesistating until one day! Before I immersed myself into the unknown, I had to do some Yelp investigation. I wanted to know which taco(s) in particular people were raving about. Coincidintally, the ones people tipped about were the ones I also adored! I kept seeing Yelpers talk about them dogfish shark tacos, so I knew I had to order those first along with the can't-go-wrong carne asada! First thing that happens upon entering the cool, wooden door, you place your order at the counter and find an open seat once a number is assigned to you. Being that they specialize in tacos, I focused on just that (for now)! They do have burritos and other things but its all about the tacos! Here are your options: 1 Taco: $2.99, will not fill you up, but it is still a decent size. 2 Taco Plate: $6.99, you get 2 tacos of the same core ingredient (ie. Carne Asada, Fish) plus 2 sides (refried beans and rice) 2 Mix Taco Plate: $8.29, you get to choose any 2 tacos from the menu, plus the sides I mentioned. Beverage is additional. What I have tried thus far: 1. Dogfish Shark Taco: Killer! What makes these so awesome is in the beer batter! They are super crispy, hot and the fish itself is still soft and moist! 2. Shrimp: Again, Killer! Comes out very similar to the shark tacos, except it is shrimp! 3. Carne Asasada: Holy cannoli folks! Some might argue that America's Taco Shop are better but I would say the quality and taste is near even! Condesa might edge them with its overall composition and various salsas! It had that mesquitte, charred off the grill kind of taste and cut perfectly to fit into a taco! 4. Cochinita Pibil (Pork): The first three tacos I mentioned were pretty darn good! But this one stood out quite well on its own. It was savory and packed with excellent flavors! As the menu stated, it was slow-cooked, fork tender! The 2 sides- Refried Beans: Excellent! Rice: Excellent! perfectly cooked! The cool part about dining here is enjoying their Salsa Bar! If I recall correctly , there were about 10 different salsas to choose from! The tricky part is pairing it with the taco you just ordered! Experiment, I say! As part of every order they bring you a basket of warm, house chips! From the outside, you would never assume that such a great taco place existed, but once you step inside you know something good is about to happen! Every wall has some sort of hip and contemporary Mexican art, from flowers to people. The overall decor is very tasteful and upbeat! Staff members are very friendly and courteous! I took my office colleagues out during my second visit and they have nothing but positive responses and is begging to come back for more! Whether you are a connoiseur of Mexican cuisine, tacos or just love eating good food, I highly advise you stop by! For the overall great taste and value, its hard to beat this cool taco spot that will please all your senses! read more

Very nice staff and easy to talk too, fish tacos are awesome !! Good feel to the place, atmosphere is comfortable and inviting!! read more

no argument with the food but the prices are out of bounds ($3 for two tablespoons of rice and $9 for a margarita, which would be ok in Scottsdale but not for this part of town). Also I really don't want to be listening to urban HipHop music over dinner....where are we, in Compton? give me a break! Here's a tip: don't hit the salsa bar until you've been served your dinner, then take your dinner plate and serve yourself from the salsa bar, otherwise you're forced to use their tiny plastic cups, not large enough to do the job. Plus a ridiculously complicated menu...everyone had to ask the waitstaff to explain it. And no drink menu available...so you had to guess at the drink prices and we guessed too low. read more

Weird, authentic and crazy good. Service may be a question mark so order an extra beer and bide your time.

Drop what you're doing and drive here. After I ate here I had to go back the next day for more. The food is that good. This cute little green building may have gone competely unoticed if I hadn't been driving down Palm Rd to avoid construction. While waiting to turn onto 16th Street the "Grand Opening" sign caught my eye and my little yelping soul leaped for joy! A new place to try! It looked desolate from the outside but when I opened the door I was put at easy by the decor, smell and cleanliness inside. I ordered dinner for two, to go. The menu was awesome. I loved seeing all the variety: poblano peppers, mole, mahi mahi, mushrooms...something wrapped in banana leaves. It made it difficult to choose something. Here's what I've had so far: La Condesa Shrimp Burro and Baja Sur Dogfish Shark Taco. They are both were very delicious meals but the shrimp burro stole the show. So much flavor. I snagged some bites from my hubbys mole and mahi mahi burros- mmmm such a delight. The salsa bar is endless. I really stocked up. I was excited to try the strawberry salsa but it was too hot, in fact it all was, but I'm a big wimp when it comes to hot peppers. The horchata is handmade and delicious. They throw pecans and some fruit in there too which is a yummy bonus! As if the good food wasn't enough to win me over the art in this restaurant sho did! I'm a sucker for Mexican folk art and Frida Kahlo is my Oprah. There's a painting of her and Diego hanging over the salsa bar, it's amazing. All the paintings are great, love the artist. read more

Ok, I finally got a chance to come back with some coworkers. They changed their format. The first time I was there, it was go to the counter order and they give you a number. They have waiter service this time. I got the Sonora Arrachera Quesa (Oaxaca cheese & char-broiled Arrachera steak). It was so good and too much for me to finish. I looks at my fellow lunchers and their tacos looked so GOOD. The salsa bar is filled with all sorts of varieties. I tried the strawberry salsa, too sweet for my taste... but more to favors to try! read more

Another restaurant featured on Triple D and Guy Fiery that absolutely didn't disappoint. This was our second restaurant visit for dinner in Phoenix and it was a great selection of tacos. We really enjoyed the ambiance of the place and they have nice pictures and paintings. The service was quick and the quality was great. Definitely a must visit when you're in Phoenix. Here's my Video Review if La Santisima https://youtu.be/4dvFSwqrwCw read more

There were 4 empty tables open......and plenty of people waiting to be seated......this lasted for over 20 minutes. The staff just kept staring at us, leaving dirty empty tables. We finally Sat down after an hour of waiting. No water for 20 minutes. They finally come by to give us 1 glass of water and chips (80% crumbs) and they didn't come back to take our meal order for 17 more minutes. Over 2 hours of being in the restaurant, they tell me they have no more horchata. Wtf. 8pm on a Saturday???? No sorry but we ran out of what you already ordered and have been waiting on.....nothing. Everyone around us had one. Even people who showed up after us. Finally gave us our food---which ended up tasting pretty good.....but NO UTENSILS. I had to get up, go to the front and ask for some. Duh. Then our bill came and they charged us for the horchatas that we didn't even get. Absolutely horrible. They were so rude. I will not be going back. read more

Best Mexican food I had ever had. Of course, this isn't saying much considering East Coast Mexican food has nothing on West Coast. Now I know. I came here twice. This place was so good, I dreamed about eating their shark taco that night. And the next and our last day in Phoenix we went back to get more. Nice way to round out our stay in Phoenix. Best meal for last. First Night: If you don't get the Baja Sur Dogfish Shark Taco, you are missing out. Perfectly crispy beer batter. Amazingly soft and tender fish. Topped with cabbage and some kind of yogurt or mayo sauce. Not sure where else you can get dogfish shark tacos, but I wish all my fish tacos could be shark from now on. Make sure you order the shark taco and not the regular fish one. If you're not a seafood person, the Mayan Conchita Pork Shoulder is a good taco to get. The pork shoulder was cooked until tender and the sauce was delicious and flavorful. The pickled onions on top is a perfect combo with the pork. Second Night: The second time around I had the shark taco again. This time I also tried the Cabo Shrimp Taco. Another amazing taco. The shrimps were large, and I'm not sure what they put in their batter but it was so crispy with a nice tang to it. I also tried some of the Al Pastor Street Tacos. Order this if you want something strong in flavor and charred. The street tacos are also cheaper than the gourmet ones. Sides: The Guac was chunky and fresh with tomatoes, cilantro, onions, and I think cranberries. The salsas were all average until I tried the jicama one. It's so fresh with the lime and cilantro. Best salsa I had ever had. Each table gets a free basket of tortilla chips. We got two for our table of four. I never had horchata before, but it seemed to be the recommended drink to get. I wasn't a big fan of it. Not that it wasn't good, but I'm just not a fan of horchata in general. The pecans, cantaloupe, and strawberries did provide freshness to the drink, but it was too overpowered by cinnamon. The drink is huge at 32 oz. There is only one guy acting as a server, so service can be a little slow. But these tacos are worth the patience. The restaurant itself is a little bit cramped but there is enough seating. There's also one large table for a big group. On a side note, I saw a picture of Guy Fieri on a board next to the salsa bar. He seemed to have signed it with the date 12/14.

What else is there to say about La Condesa that hasn't been said in the hundred other 5 star reviews of this place? Not much, so I'll just add the following for extra emphasis... 1. The tacos. Oh the tacos... even living out in California, the Baja Sur Dogfish Shark tacos are made of dreams and sunshine and sugar plum fairies. If sugar plum fairies came in the shape of delicious, beer batter fried dogfish shark pieces. With just a little cream sauce and lettuce so you don't miss out on any of the shark. And the Cochinita Pibil tacos... there's fall off the bone tender, then there's meat that's pretty much as close to melting as meat can get. But these are just my favorites... I've tried all the tacos on the menu, and they're all delicious. 2. The salsa bar. If I can give this place any criticism, it's that they run out of salsas far too often. Late in the day. Just before they close. Look... sometimes I'm in a peanut salsa mood, sometimes I'm in a chipotle salsa mood, sometimes I'm in a strawberry salsa mood. I can't help it. 3. The horchata. Just order it. It's big. Bring guests. Share it. I come here far too often for someone that lives 1000 miles away. Love it. read more

I was looking for a quick street taco fix and what I found was La Santisima. Calling it a gourmet taco shop is fitting and more importantly the price was right! The list of Mexican restaurants and taco shops is endless in Phoenix and while I can't possibly try them all, I have at least found one I thoroughly enjoy. From the quality of meat, to the portions, to the highly touted salsa bar, this place delivers on all levels! I started with a half order of guacamole to compliment my assortment of chosen salsas. Their guac tends toward the chunky side mixed with red onion, tomato, mango, and cilantro. The chips were disappointing, but they served their purpose of sampling salsas and the guac. I also heard great things about the horchata, which I can never pass up when available. First of all, it comes in a massive 32 oz cup. I would definitely share this with somebody else next time. It's also loaded with strawberries and mangos, which I initially thought seemed unnecessary, but provided a unique twist. The fruit proved difficult to fit through the straw, so maybe I'll order without in the future. I ordered 3 of the gourmet tacos - El Gaucho Taco, Baja Sur Shark Taco, and Mayan Cochinita Pibil Taco. All were $3.99 and excellent and I would say the Cochonita Pibil was the best I tried! It went really well with the salsa cilantro, a cream based cilantro salsa. read more

Run here. Do not hesitate. Our daughter just flew in and before we could go home, we HAD TO stop. Incredible food. Their queso is a feat of magic. Huge selection and you can't go wrong. Great variety for vegetarians. We have gone here far more than any others. Don't miss our of their amazing Margaritas! read more

La Condesa is an amazing little spot that has more than food, but charm as well. I really enjoyed the way that the restaurant was decorated; it definitely creates its own vibe, and it's not painted with a lot of loud colors (there are a ton of pictures of the decor if you look at the pictures). It's very classy to say the least. The salsa bar is the first thing that I have to mention. It was overflowing with variety and flavor. Every time that I thought I'd found one that I liked, I tried another and pushed the previous aside. My girlfriend and I managed to polish of two baskets of chips without a problem or remorse because we had to try every salsa. The tamatillo and cilantro were two of my favorites in the mix. We also ordered the Mayan Conchinita Pibil tacos and the Aztec Tinga tacos. I'm usually hesitant about chicken on tacos because I usually always have bad experiences, but not here! The tinga taco was great. The meat was tender and well marinated - I could taste the sauce in every bite. The conchinita though is what really won me over. The pork was so good! Imagine the tenderness and juiciness or your favorite BBQ pork sandwich, but replace the flavor with a bevy of delicious Mexican spices and we'll pretty much be on the same level. I'm pretty baffled that I didn't see a lot of my Yelp friends raving about this place. As a result, I will send this review out to you all (go try it =) ). This is a great little place that isn't pricey yet brings great flavor. The next time I got there I will be getting a quesa, no question, and hopefully I will be going back very soon. read more

I was very disappointed by my last 2 visits here. On one visit I was served cold beans and rice, like from the fridge cold. It took almost 20 minutes to get new beans and rice, and they were still barely warm. No apology, no nothing. Went again to get my favorite chicken mole tacos, and they were barely warm. My husband had their marinated shredded pork in a burrito and got sick after taking the first bite. This must be an acquired taste, it was gross, really gross. Then I found what looked like a gray slimy booger in my rice. When I pointed it out to the server he took my plate away and came back saying it was an onion!! No way was that an onion, or even a close relative of an onion. No apology, no asking if i want something else, he just came over, slammed the bill down and said we didn't charge you for your food, so don't worry about it, and walked away. I know mistakes happen, but own up to it, and at least TRY to make the customer feel good about the situation. read more

Walked in for lunch on a Saturday. There was no wait for 3 people. Although there were a couple of empty tables, there was only one server and she seemed moderately busy. As soon as we sat down, the server brought us iced water and a bowl of nachos. The first bowl is on the house. There's a bottomless salsa bar where you can grab as much salsa as your heart desires. I kept going back for the pico and the jicama. My group shared two plates of the Mix & Match gourmet and street tacos. Each Mix & Match order comes with 3 tacos and rice and beans. I ordered the Pacific White Fish gourmet taco and Carne Arrachera street taco. If I had to choose one, I'd go for the Pacific White Fish again. I don't like cabbage, but the cabbage and sauce is what made it for me. That and the fresh, crispy juiciness of the fish. Loved the food, the service and the decor. read more

If you don't get the horchata then you are making the biggest mistake of your life.... There are something's in life where you overlook the bad because the good outweighs it. Not gonna lie, the location and atmosphere is maybe a 3/5. But Dan says good tacos are always in the most ghetto areas so we had high hopes. The place was full when we arrived and filled with an assortment of people. It was promising. This place did not disappoint. I had the sorano arrachero taco plate (or whatever... Something like that) and Dan got the carne asada street tacos. Right when I bit into it I knew..... This was going to be a good meal. Dan is a taco snob and gave the street tacos 10 stars. Very rare. My tacos made me forget that our table was wobbly and that it was hard to find this place at night. Just go and eat the tacos.... Just do it. Food 5/5 Atmosphere 4/5 Overall 5/5 read more

Omg! Nothing to say bad about this place. The menu is a little confusing at first but our server explain it so well and she was so nice and professional. The drinks are so good, the horchata is homemade with Jamaica and pecans. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and usually have to add sugar but it was perfect here. They have a salsa bar with many selections, a great appetizer menu, and the entree menu is SO good, so many options. It's a bit pricey but you get your moneys worth. I ordered Pacific White Fish Tacos and so so good. read more

Things Evolve over time, so has La Condesa, There now is a big fancy bar and a somewhat different menu. What really matters is that the flavor, ans salsas are still here. I had a burrito with Mahi Mahi in it, it came loaded with spinach, mushrooms, cheese and rice. The cheese was a bit much but was still great at 10.59 with tax it should be. What really mad it great was the salsas. Everything from a peanut salsa, to a strawberry to many of the classic favorites. I really enjoyed the roasted peepers and onions salsa. Yes the inside is small and the parking is suicidal when you leave, but if you need a flavor shot give this place a try. read more

OMG! La Condesa, I love you! If you drive too fast down 16th on your way downtown, you just might miss this little, neighborhood taco joint...and it will be your loss. La Condesa is a delightful little 10-12 seat restaurant with seating also available at the bar. The wait staff are courteous, helpful and knowlegable about the food. There is a salsa bar with no less than 15 freshly made salsas.. everything from your standard pico de gallo to a strawberry jalapeno and a spicy chipotle peanut. We've been here a few times and have not been disappointed. Try the Sonoran Carne Asada Arrachera steak marinated with Mexican herbs, fresh garlic & olive oil, charbroiled with mesquite charcoal or the Mayan Cochinita Roasted Pork Shoulder Taco with marinated onions and salsa habanera. If you order the "taco plate" for a few dollars more, you can get sides of their slow cooked beans and rice. This is a place nice enough to take your mom and trendy (and inexpensive) enough to take your out of town hipster friends. Total neighborhood foodie heaven on a budget. read more

I ordered the deep-fried shrimp quesadilla with ooey-gooey cheese! ( I know it sounds unhealthy, but I had to have it) It was enormous and succulent! John and I both had the pecan horchata, and it did not disappoint. We went there around 8:00 pm when it's slow, so our service was stellar.

We flew into Arizona, jet lagged and hungry. This taco spot was near by and food network featured it. Outside the place looked a little sketchy, but inside it looked like a typical taco spot. We got fresh chips to start. And then we ordered about 3 tacos per person (all of them were good!). The best thing about this place is their salsa bar. They have everything from pico to strawberry to pecan salsa. Some were spicy, some sweet. It's insane. And delicious. Pretty cool and simple taco spot in Phoenix. Small dining area though, so don't get mad if there's a wait. read more

TERRIBLE absolutely disgustingly terrible service. Made eye contact with three employees and no one greeted me.

Totally worth the crappy parking situation here! My girlfriend and I came in on random weeknight for early dinner and the place was already full. Wow! Could be due to the limited seating or maybe because the food is terrific. Both? Likely. Chips arrived promptly straight from the oil pan - nice and toasty. And we helped ourselves to the salsa bar - which is completely fresh, creative, and whets your palette at the get-go! We loved the cilantro salsa and salsa mexicana the best. Zesty! The servers were quick to take our order despite being busy and minutes later my tacos de arrachera arrived. Sooo good! I mean. Wow! Meat was tender and juicy ....and the combination of spices and flavors was heaven. My friend ordered the Condesa specialty taco. Another winning ticket! Condesa has nailed the right way to make beans too. And..don't get me started on the deliciousness of the horchata. I've had me some horchata many places ..but this really rocked my world. Rocked it! Condesa, I have just two requests: Please do something about the sitting area so we can actually fit in this place. Also, please don't be out of flan next time I come in! Thanks! read more
