“Last night we tried Condado for the first time. We were instantly met with a smiling individual who sat us promptly. Breanna was our server and was an absolute delight. Breanna explained the menu and gave us fun info about the art work (which was one of my favorite parts!). All of the staff were cheery. The food was absolutely fantastic; the best carne asada I’ve ever had! Try the pineapple lemonade and smoked queso! We will absolutely be back and tell all of our friends! You guys are exceeding the industry standards!“

“Food was delicious! Our server was Joey and she was awesome, very attentive and helpful! We had the ahi tuna and bang bang chicken appetizers, both were good but the ahi tuna was the best, as well as the noodles on the side. My husband got the bacon jalapeño burger special, which was fantastic and the fries were well seasoned and perfectly textured. I got the shrimp avocado salad, probably my least favorite part of the dinner but still good. Overall a great experience and we will be returning!“

“Latitude 42 was one of the best restaurant experiences I’ve had in over 20 years. I’ve never had better food and each meal presented around me made me think, “that looks awesome … I want to try that”. They were slammed so we sat at the bar. Not one of the 4 bartenders ever passed by us without checking in or making themselves available appropriately. The place was packed.“

“Had house salads and a 14" pizza that was enough for two of us with two pieces each to take home. The pizza was just as good warmed up in the air fryer as it was fresh out of the oven.
The only dressing for the pizza was a wine vinaigrette. I normally order blue cheese dressing for my salads but the vinaigrette was good. It reminded me of having Christmas dinners at my aunt's house back in the 50's and 60's because that was her choice for salad dressing. So it was a nice moment for nostalgia.
My dinner date loves Martini's and I'm sure we'll be going back“
