Condado Tacos Menu Prices 2026: Street Tacos, Margaritas & Build-Your-Own

Steak adds about $1; shrimp, pork belly and brisket add about $1.50. Signature tacos with pop-culture names (Walter White, Lloyd Christmas, etc.) run $5.25–$5.75. Adding queso (+$1) or guacamole (+$1.50) is the most common upsell. Pricing varies by metro — Chicago and the Northeast run slightly higher; Ohio and Indiana sit at or below the prices shown.

Condado is best known for its pop-culture-named signature tacos. The flagship lineup includes Walter White (steak + white queso, named for Breaking Bad), Lloyd Christmas (chicken, named for Dumb & Dumber), Stoney Logroni (BBQ pulled pork), Macho Man Randy Salsage (chorizo), Tony Soprano (Italian sausage), El Camino (steak + queso fundido), Mr. Pink (shrimp, Reservoir Dogs), The Dude (carnitas, The Big Lebowski), Buffalo Chick, Karma Chameleon (cauliflower, vegetarian), Veggie Forever Young and Notorious P.I.G. (pork belly). Signature tacos are $5.25–$5.75.

Yes. Walter White is one of Condado's longest-running signature tacos, priced around $5.50. It's built on a flour tortilla with marinated grilled steak, white queso blanco, white rice, white onion, jalapeño and cilantro — the all-white build is the joke, named after the Breaking Bad character. It's consistently among Condado's three most-ordered signature tacos chain-wide.

Condado Tacos was founded in Columbus, Ohio in 2014 by Joe Kahn and operates roughly 50 locations, concentrated in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Active states include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Ohio still hosts the largest cluster of restaurants.

Yes — the Margarita Bar is one of Condado's signature elements. The menu lists 15+ varieties including the House Margarita ($9.49), Tito's 'Rita, Casamigos Margarita, Patron Silver, Don Julio Reposado, frozen, strawberry, mango, watermelon, spicy jalapeño, skinny, pineapple, prickly pear and a rotating Margarita of the Month. The Margarita Flight ($15.99) lets you sample four 3 oz pours. A pitcher of House 'Rita is $32.99 and serves 3–4. Local craft beer, Mexican lagers and sangria round out the bar.

It depends on what you order. A single Condado BYO taco at $4 is dramatically cheaper than a Chipotle Chicken Bowl ($10.45). But the typical Condado order is closer to 3 tacos + queso + a margarita (~$23), vs. Chipotle's Chicken Bowl + chips & guac + drink (~$18) — so once you add the Margarita Bar, Condado lands a few dollars higher per ticket. The cheapest full meal at Condado is the $7.49 Kids' Meal or two BYO tacos à la carte ($8). Condado plays in the $$ fast-casual + bar tier rather than the pure quick-service tier.

The Build-Your-Own engine has four parts. Shells: flour tortilla, hard corn, soft corn or lettuce wrap (lettuce wrap at no extra charge). Proteins: chicken, ground beef, chorizo, carnitas, sofritas-style braised tofu, black beans (vegetarian) — all included in the $4 base price. Steak adds +$1; shrimp, pork belly and brisket add +$1.50. Toppings (free): lettuce, pico, onions, jalapeños, cilantro, tomatoes, corn, slaw, scallions. Sauces (one free): avocado-lime crema, chipotle ranch, salsa verde, salsa roja, buffalo, BBQ-chipotle, sweet chili, sour cream. Queso (+$1) and guac (+$1.50) are the only paid add-ons. Every BYO model — Taco, Bowl, Nachos and Salad — uses the same engine.

Yes. The chain's two signature vegetarian tacos are Karma Chameleon (crispy cauliflower with sweet-chili glaze, $5.25) and Veggie Forever Young (black bean & corn fritter, $5.25). For vegan orders, the BYO model is the easiest route — pick a flour or corn shell or lettuce wrap, black beans as the protein, free veggie toppings and a vegan sauce (salsa verde, salsa roja, sweet chili or BBQ-chipotle), skipping queso, sour cream and crema. The Build-Your-Own Salad and Build-Your-Own Bowl both work as vegan builds. All four quesos are vegetarian (not vegan). Confirm preparation surfaces with the restaurant if you have a serious allergy.

New sign-ups get a free BYO taco, members get a free birthday entrée, and the program runs frequent double-point days plus occasional free-queso and free-margarita promotions. Mobile-order pickup and table-service ordering both earn points.

Condado Tacos was founded in 2014 by Joe Kahn in Columbus, Ohio. Kahn opened the original Short North restaurant with the goal of pairing Tex-Mex street-style tacos with a Margarita Bar and a build-your-own customization model. The chain expanded steadily across the Midwest in the late 2010s and into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast by the early 2020s; it operates roughly 50 restaurants today. Condado remains independently held (not part of a larger restaurant group).
