My friend took me to La Condesa (the countess in Spanish) last week. Just look for the skull and cross bones on 16th between McDowell and Thomas. Eating here made me wish I had a better understanding of how to convey flavor in words so I could share it with you.
You choose between burritos, quesadillas and tacos. The staff told me the most popular choices are the chicken tinga and the pork. I went with the chicken tinga quesadilla and I was so impressed. Hot chicken in a red sauce combined with cheese and folded into a tortilla which is then fried until the tortilla is crispy. This is topped with crumbly white cheese (queso blanco).
There is also a salsa bar. It has so many types of salsa. I haven't been to Cabo, but I liked the Cabo salsa so much, I just might have to go check it out.
The art is impressive. It feels modern minimalist and Mexican traditional at the same time. There is a mosaic Mexican woman hovering above the entrance.

I will definitely be going back for more.
