Awards
Why Condado Tacos why was this picked
We built custom tacos and used the patio when weather allowed. Condado is honest about creative taco culture, not trompo purity, and first-timers never look lost. It suits Short North groups that want scene logistics and a flexible menu more than a purist counter. It is a practical Columbus pick we would send a friend to without hedging.

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.
