    Birria tacos with delicious salsa and rice and beans
    Adam B.

    Love this Michigan Ave restaurant! The ambiance is beautiful, especially their outdoor dining area. So great! The food is good, on a previous visit I had 2 Al Pastor and 1 Asanda taco - yum! Tonight I had 2 birria tacos with rice and beans. It was very tasty. The tacos were just a little dry, even with their cosumé but the flavor was delicious. We enjoyed a nice dinner with our family. Nice work Borracho, keep it up!

    We've been to Taco Borracho several times now, including twice for brunch, so I figured I should update my review. The brunch menu is small but offers several savory options, which is great for me as I love a savory brunch. As of April 2023, the only real sweet brunch option was brioche French toast. I love chilaquiles, so I usually order it if it's available. Taco Borracho's version is really good! I loved the sauciness of the dish even though the eggs were more like over-hard rather than over easy. The avocado is a nice addition to this dish, and it was a big portion that was very filling. On our most recent brunch visit, I got the steak and eggs which was really tasty. The meat is cut thin (skirt steak), but it was tender and very flavorful. The potatoes were slightly bland but I added some hot sauce which helped. I really liked this take on a favorite brunch dish. It was again a large portion that kept me full the rest of the day. They have several brunch appropriate cocktails and everyone liked their mimosas. If you're with a bigger group, they have an 88 ounce mimosa tower that would be great for sharing! The patio wasn't open yet in late April but it's a nice enclosed space that is perfect for warmer weather.

    I was starving and wanted something local that wasn't a chain, and I happened to find this place not far from where I was staying. (like 6 miles away.) I stumbled in, sat at the bar and reviewed the menu. Most stuff's here's a la carte, but you can add rice and beans for a few extra bucks to your food. The taco selection's fantastic, as they have chicken, beef, pork and even vegetarian ones as well. They have other food as well, but I was in it for tacos, so there's that. This place is actually pretty hip. The weather was super nice and they had the patio open and it was really nice. The other half of the bar sits literally outside, so you can enjoy the weather without getting blasted by the sun or change of weather. Parking here absolutely SUCKS. Like bad. There's a very tight parking lot and only a handful of spaces. I had to drive around for a good 5 minutes and ended up parking in a lot across the street not to terribly far away. Tow away signs everywhere, and kind of made me almost go somewhere else. My one sore point? Even though there seemed to be ample staff working, the service here was slow to the point I felt ignored. There was a few times my server blatantly walked by me, didn't make any eye contact or respond. Was she trying to be rude on purpose? No, but it was hard to get literally anyone's attention. Lot's of waiting on my end, and it was kind of a turn off. There was a few times she was literally two feet from me and I needed a drink refill (and eventually my bill) and no matter how many times I said "ma'am excuse me" she didn't look up once or help. I know she was busy but there was also other servers who seemed to busy to check in on people for much of anything. I just wish the staff would check in more often with the guests then worry about other stuff. Like I said, the staff here's nice and such, but they were to busy stocking the bar, disappearing endlessly for long stretches of time, whatever. There were a few girls sitting across from me who seemed to have the same issue at the bar and I just don't get it. Wait on your tables! Anyway, I will probably return but with a lot more patience next time, as this seems to be a really fun and hip spot to hang out at, especially in the summer.

    I've only come to Taco Borracho a couple times. The first time was during their soft open and the second time, I waited almost a year to return. I know that soft opens always have a lot of kinks to work out, but given there are so many taco spots in GR now, I haven't gone back. However, after a year, I wanted to try it out! I'm happy that I did. A couple things to note: 1) Parking in the rear is available and free, though it can be a little tough to snag, so street parking is your other option. 2) It was 90+ degrees outside and the restaurant is open air. I did appreciate the patio and the garage doors being open, but I would recommend investing in a few more fans to move the air around. It definitely got a little warm at times. 3) The music was pretty loud, while a certain vibe, not necessarily something I was looking for at like 5pm on a Tuesday. I liked the decor though and the neon signs were super cute. Very trendy touch. We ordered the chips, queso and salsa to share. I really liked the queso but the salsa was a bit lacklustre for me. I felt like there wasn't enough flavor or heat, that I like in a salsa. The chips and queso though, definitely worth getting and I would order that again! I'll pass on the salsa. I also appreciated that we went during happy hour so the tacos I ordered (al pastor and carne asada) were $1.50 off each! Both delicious and the salsa verde? So good. The depth of the flavoring was what I was hoping for in the roja. Our server was really kind and attentive, I'd definitely come back again and try new things! I just prefer restaurants where I don't have to yell to hear the person I'm sitting across, but it's a certain vibe. So if you know that going in, it's not so bad.

    My Mexican pizza was t the greatest but the other food and drinks were good. Service was great also. Pizza was soaked, wasn't what I expected. Otherwise nice place, parking not so great

    We were really in the mood for tacos and were more than satisfied with our meal here last night:)! Walking in we noticed right away what a fun vibe the interior had with several neon lights and cool velvet and leather textures. We were seated immediately and given waters and menus. I was excited about all the taco choices there were and had to narrow it down to three for myself to try. For appetizers we ordered the chips and guac which was delicious and fresh! And also the tostones! Served with mayochip and that was crispy and something different for me and I enjoyed it. The tacos were SO SO SO good! I ordered the Papas taco which had potatoes, cabbage slaw, cilantro, & onions on a crispy corn tortilla and I already wanna go back just for this taco alone. Yum! I also ordered the Impossible taco because I enjoy trying the vegetarian/vegan options when I can and it was definitely very good with plant based meat, daiya cheese, green pepper, cilantro, & onions on a corn tortilla. Last but not least I ordered the Pescado Taco, which had breaded fish, cabbage slaw, house made chipotle sauce & onions on a flour tortilla. I love fish tacos and this one was especially delicious. My friend loved her tacos and she ordered the steak, chicken, & pork! For dessert, we were told the churros were good and boy were they right!!! I love to try churros at almost any taco place I'm at and not to be dramatic or anything but these are some of the best churros I've had in a very long time. Wow! So crispy and delicious on the outside but soft and gooey on the inside. They came with 3 large churros and caramel, chocolate, and whipped cream for dips! Just a really wonderful experience overall! Loved the atmosphere, every single food item we ordered, and the service! Will definitely recommend to anyone and everyone and come again and again.:):)

    3.5 star. Just fine. Wasn't overly wowed but it's not bad. I had the huevos tacos which were very good. I added on rice and beans for $7 which is a bit of a rip off since it's not a big portion. The refried beans also tasted rather salty. Other people in my group had a burrito and some other tacos and the elote. I've only ever seen elote served in dishes and it was cool to see it actually on the cob, which the person said it was good but overly seasoned. The decor is cool and I love all the neon signs. We sat at the front bar area so we didn't get to see much of the place. Music is a little loud for my preference and also the margarita blender is loud AF that you can hear it over the loud music. The poor bartenders that use it must be going deaf! Service was fine. They have a small parking lot in back but you're better off parking just down the road in a different lot.

    Lots of fun photo ops!

    If you enjoy tacos, live music, and friendly service - have I got the place for you! Taco Borracho serves up a good variety of menu items offering items with a Puerto Rican flair that provides a slightly different offering than a typical taco joint. And don't skip the dessert - I was too full for the tres leches cake, but the half churro dipped in caramel sauce was the perfect nightcap to a wonderful night out with family. We will definitely be back!

    This up beat taqueria is alive! The food was wonderful and the Hibiscus Margarita was beyond delightful! We sat at the bar and had excellent service from two bartenders who did their jobs well! The ambiance is upbeat and fun! Definitely at must try!

    They really need to get their stuff together - nothing about this place makes me want to come back again. Food and drinks were mediocre. Drinks take FOREVER to come out, I don't get it. Atmosphere and decor, plus patio were cool. But being right on Michigan St is loud! The servers are frazzled as can be, and it seems like no one knows what they are doing.

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.

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!
