Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Condesa offers "delicious authentic tapas" with standout dishes like pork belly tacos and black ink rice with squid. The "friendly and efficient" staff and cozy, slightly eclectic atmosphere make it a perfect pre-theatre spot. While the space is intimate, the "great ambience" and "reasonably priced" menu ensure a memorable dining experience.

    Very good tapas, with good variety of flavourful tapas. The portion can be adjusted to the number of people in the party.

    The food was delicious and well presented, we particularly enjoyed the black rice rice squid. Service was excellent; friendly and efficient. The restaurant is small and a little cramped so would recommend booking in advance.

    Food was brilliant but tables for 4 were so small that it wasn’t possible to get plates and glasses on the table at the same time, the waitress was very helpful but we ended up with backache after the meal. Prices were a little steep but the quality was very good

    Been many times, but probably the last. Food ok, but sat at door - despite requesting a better seat for a special occasion. Poor value for money too. Sadly may not be back

    Condesa proved to be an absolute gem. Every dish was a winner, but the pork belly tacos and the hummus and pumpkin seed tostadas were especially delicious. Friendly and helpful service and reasonable prices just added to the experience. Would highly recommend this cozy and slightly eclectic tapas bar.
