Condado Tacos has hit a remarkable milestone: a decade of crafting crave-worthy tacos, fostering community, and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome. Starting from our first restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, we’ve grown to 52 locations across 10 states—a journey made possible by the vibrant communities that have embraced us. Why does this anniversary matter? For Condado, it's about more than just tacos. Over the past 10 years, we’ve learned the power of listening—listening to our guests, our team, and our communities. Guest feedback has been instrumental in shaping our journey, inspiring us to elevate flavors, experiment with ingredients, and keep innovating both in our kitchens and dining rooms. As we look forward, we remain committed to balancing high-tech efficiencies with a human touch, ensuring every visit feels personal and every meal is prepared with care. None of this would be possible without the incredible dedication of our Condado team. Many team members who started as cooks, servers, and bartenders have grown alongside us, bringing their passion to leadership roles across departments in art, culinary, operations, and expansion. Their creativity, commitment, and vision have helped shape Condado into the brand it is today—and we couldn’t be prouder of all they’ve achieved. To mark this milestone, we’re excited to reveal a fresh brand identity and menu updates that capture our journey and where we’re heading next. And on November 19th, we’re hosting a special anniversary celebration at our original Short North location in Columbus. Guests will enjoy free food and margaritas, meet Columbus Crew players, grab exclusive Condado merch, and even have the chance to win free tacos for a year!
