Why Condado Tacos why was this picked

Condado Tacos on North High Street is the chain's first location, and its artwork pays homage to the original murals. Diners build their own tacos or pick suggested combinations, and the menu adds dips, tequila and daily deals. The Short North restaurant has a dog-friendly patio and dedicated parking, runs happy hour from 2 to 5 p.m. on weekdays and stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. Rewards members get a free taco after their first order.

Know before you go

We build custom tacos at Condado Tacos on N. High Street when Short North groups want creative taco culture, not trompo purity. The patio helps when weather allows, and first-timers rarely look lost in the build-your-own flow. Dinner for two with drinks usually stays in the $$ range for a casual night that still feels like a plan on a regular weeknight visit.

Hours run Sunday through Thursday 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and Friday through Saturday until midnight, with weekday happy hour 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. Use Condado's reservation flow for bigger parties. The location lists dedicated parking plus nearby Short North options. Walk the Short North before or after. Then compare approaches on our best Mexican food in Columbus list.
