La Condesa

Named after one of Mexico City's trendiest neighborhoods, La Condesa serves a hip take on traditional Mexican fare served out of one of the city's most dazzling spaces. An explosive over-sized mural frames a dining room where trendy Austinites and visiting hipsters dig into three-day mole chicken breasts, and the patio overlooking Guadalupe Street is one of the city's few truly urban-feeling happy-hour destinations. Speaking of happy hour, it's the best time to visit thanks to half-priced bar snacks like their signature elotes and a sampler of four guacamoles, featuring seasonal ingredients like pomegranate.
