Austin, TX.
When we told our good friends Adam & Jules that we were booked and heading to Austin, Texas, they already knew where they were taking us for dinner. There would be no other restaurant options to discuss. The decision was already made and set in stone. We were going to the modern-Mexican restaurant, La Condesa, and we couldn’t wait! Why? Adam & Jules are just like us! They get so excited to share their delicious discoveries with friends and family. They have already turned us onto so many places in Austin, and this is just another one to add to the list…and it’s going straight to the top!
Here’s a quick play-by-play of what we ordered and we just have to tell you that all of it was absolutely phenomenal! See for yourself!

When in Austin, Texas, we highly recommend you check out La Condesa. We promise it will not disappoint!
P.S. If you happen to be in Napa Valley, there is also a La Condesa located there in St. Helena. We personally have not visited this location yet, but plan to on our next visit.
