About Condesa Phoenix
Chips at Condesa Phoenix arrive with seasoned duros and three salsas, a house tomatillo, a chile de árbol, and a salsa fresca, which sets the tone for the rest of this Mexican restaurant on N Central Ave. Tacos are built on homemade corn or flour tortillas, with al pastor, carne asada, shrimp, barbacoa, and jackfruit among the fillings, and bowls including a burrito bowl round out a menu of about eight dishes. Margaritas are poured classic, strawberry with a sugar rim, and jalapeño with a tajín and salt rim, with a carajillo also on the list. A happy hour brings taco and margarita deals from 2 p.m., and a lunch deal pairs three tacos with chips and a drink. The dining room holds plants, artwork, and a mural, with seating inside and out. Reservations are taken. The kitchen runs Tuesday to Saturday in the evenings, closed Mondays and Sundays, and parking nearby is hard to find.

Customer Review Summary
Tacos anchor nearly every account, with the al pastor singled out repeatedly for its char and pineapple balance, and the carne asada close behind, one diner calling the asada apson reason enough to return. The trio of salsas draws almost as much praise, the house tomatillo, chile de arbol and salsa fresca all named, alongside well seasoned chips and duros. Margaritas come up often, classic, strawberry and jalapeño versions, plus the elote and a carajillo. Several describe plant filled rooms, a mural and friendly, quick service. The complaints are specific rather than sweeping: one visitor found the nachos short on meat and beans for the chip volume and the Hamburguesa de la Casa reminiscent of frozen patties, another thought the asada bland and wanted more char, and one found street tacos overloaded with chipotle and nothing memorable. A single reviewer questioned whether the positive reviews were genuine. One party that arrived for a reservation struggled to park and suggested being dropped off instead.

“This has to be some of the best Mexican food in downtown Phoenix. The chips and salsa started off strong- fresh all around and I enjoyed all three salsas. My wife enjoyed the asada plate, which was not only delicious but a great value. My shrimp taco was cooked perfectly, and the barbacoa was moist and flavorful. However, the best taco was the apson with carne asada- I would return for this alone! Everything was so well-prepared and detail-oriented. I didn’t love my cucumber cocktail but would eagerly try something else next time. Service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend!!”
