About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
La Condesa is a two-times James Beard-nominated modern Mexican restaurant located in Austin’s vibrant 2nd Street District. Helmed by Executive Chef Rick Lopez, La Condesa’s menu features interior Mexican dishes made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, plus a renowned bar program with one of the largest collections of tequila, mezcal and other Mexican spirits in the city.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Rick Lopez

From the OpenTable editors: With several James Beard Award nominations under its belt, La Condesa is firmly an Austin favorite. It's ideal for group celebrations, happy hours, and feasting on comforting Mexican fare, thanks to executive chef Rick Lopez, who puts out plates of queso, short rib quesadillas, and cochinita pibil with housemade tortillas in a buzzy, fun environment. Happy hour is especially popular here, when there are $3 tacos and the entire drink menu is half off.

                                          Thank you to Chris for a fabulous night! The pitcher of La Condesa margs during happy hour was definitely the right choice, thank you for the suggestion! We had the tuna tostada, short rib quesadilla, and the nachos, and as always they did not disappoint. It was so fun to see the team and the space dressed up for Cinco de Mayo, and the DJ delivered on the beats per minute. Not to be missed, the banana helado and tres leches! Thank you for a fabulous Monday happy hour - 50% off cocktails?! Incredible!
