    Cool, fun, loud. Reminds me of a Cancun bar. Has a live DJ in the dining area. Taquilla flights with lights and fanfare. But it's well designed with multtiple seating areas so even younger kids will enjoy (main) . And every area has its own charm. Group table semi private, bar area, main dining, or upstairs with a little more privacy to talk... but can still hear the music and there is an upstairs small bar. The only drawback is the food. It is created by a head chef, with good flavors, but I think they operate like a cafeteria. Everything seems pre-made and reheated. Tortillas were cold out of the bag. Pasta was crusty. Luckily you can premake civiche in a large batch, so that tasted decent. Just ask them to warm the chips. But with all the celebration going on, it is what it is. A good time.

    Great experience! We were a party of 10 celebrating a birthday and every single person in my party was treated extremely well. We were served by Rafael. His service and attention were spectacular! Will def be a birthday spot for my family going forward. Food is delicious & the ambiance is great. Highly recommend! Better your experience by requesting Rafael as your server!

    The food was overall great but the service wasn’t at all. The server that I had wouldn’t really let me hold the tablet to pay my bill like he was trying to hide something & my boyfriend mentioned to him that he didn’t like the lobster Mac and cheese yet our server still put it on our bill and charged me for it. I had to remind him it was my boyfriends birthday when it was already on my note for when I made the reservation. I work at a Michelin star restaurant so I understand the difference between good service and awful service. Usually when guests don’t like something we take it off the bill without any problem but he seemed very money hungry which wasn’t appreciated at all!

    Overall great place to eat. The ambiance is nice. Everyone seems to be happy to be at La Conde. Great mix of people so that tells you it appeals to everyone. We started with a flight of tequila shots. The whole show, etc. was fun and encouraging (to drink up) For appetizers we had the Iceberg salad, peruvian ceviche & shrimp skewers. Those were great. We also had various drinks that were great; black out, poison, bob, etc. For our main dish, I ordered the lamb chops and my guest ordered a steak. I took my 1st bite and it was SALTY. I was hoping it was just that piece. I took a bite of a second chop and it was MORE SALTY. I gave back my plate and did not want my dish replaced. The steak was also a bit salty but bearable to each. Overall a great experience except for the SALTY lamb chops. What just surprised me was that they still were charging me for the lamb chops. I could not believe it. They acted like nothing was wrong with my food. It took them a while but it was finally taken off my bill. Off night for the chef/cook, I guess....

    The food takes WAAAAYYYYYY too long!!!! Appetizers were the best part. The dinner sides weren’t hot and didn’t taste good. Main dishes were okay. After waiting so long, only to get a mediocre main entree is quite underwhelming. Also the valet is HORRIBLE….I pulled up and they just stood and looked at the car. We had on our hazards and was right next to the valet stand and they did nothing until we rolled down the window for assistance. Moments later a friend of mine waited in line for valet for over 20mins only for her to get out the car ask, what’s going on, and then tell here their lot is full. They never considered telling an entire line of cars waiting, that there were no more spots. That is completely inconsiderate and rude!!

    Turn up the music the environment was to low the only time it got good and felt like a true Latino restaurant was when they brought out some glass shots and they turned the music up. Over all everything was nice just turn up the music !!! More energy we are known for our music and festivals and the load environment

    Fun atmosphere, but way too loud. Our waiter was really nice and engaging, but service was mediocre. Food took way too long to come out. We ordered 3 appetizers because not everyone could eat the same things. Appetizers came out one at a time with huge wait times in between each one. It very uncomfortable when some people are eating and others just sit there and watch. Then the entrees took forever until they were brought out. One entree came, and my friend felt uncomfortable eating while the rest of us didn’t have our food. We waited about 20 minutes until all the other entrees came out, and by that time the first person’s food had gotten old . Salads didn’t have dressing on them, but our waiter was great in quickly bringing dressing for us . So like I said, fun atmosphere, fun and presentable drinks, but service was slow and disorganized

    The waiter needed to be reminded of the food that was missing. We were never told that a refill was not free therefore the bill was higher than anticipated. We were sat in the second floor corner with no lighting. I asked for water and never got it therefore I got up and asked for it at the bar. I wouldn’t go back!

    I went at 5:45 to 7 and it had no people so If you’re trying to have some between you and the persons you come with that’s the times you should come from 7 and over people starts coming in.

    Lets cut straight to the chase. We ordered multiple dishes 2 of which were steaks. We waited a good amount of time before the food came and by the time we got the food we were starving. The first steak came cold with the sauce also frozen! The second one was supposed to be medium but came well done. This is unacceptable! On top of that, the waitress was saying that since we had already tried the food then she is not able to do anything. I dont understand how I can know that the food is not good WITHOUT trying it. Her name was sophie and it is not acceptable for her to speak to paying customers the way that she did. Even though the manager did the minimum effort of asking what was wrong and handling the situation, we still waited for him for 20 mins because he was on the phone. I think present and paying customers IN THE RESTAURANT who are complaining on bad service, take priority over people on the phone. We came to la conde to celebrate my fathers 70th birthday, a MILESTONE birthday, only to be ruined by your unprofessionalism. If your customer service and hospitality is not top of the line, it is not okay for your restaurant to be including the tips in the bill forcing me to pay $100 in tips when the staff didn’t even deserve $1. I would’ve paid way more than that had the staff treated us in a reasonable and respectful manner.
