Now open in Charlotte: A new location with creative taco flavors, margaritas and queso

Condado Tacos, a national “build-your-own” taco spot franchise known for its creative tacos and drinks, is opening its second restaurant in South Charlotte today.

A Promenade at Providence spot will open its doors after opening its first location in 2022 in South End. The newest location will hold more than 150 people, and includes seating at the bar and outdoors.

For its grand opening celebration on Thursday, June 29, Condado will offer the first 100 guests in line a free taco every week for an entire year, plus a free taco with purchase that day and $5 signature margaritas all day long.

FOOD & DRINKS: Condado Tacos offers a variety of tacos, chips and dips and drinks, including its signature Chicken Bacon Ranch Tacos and Rainbow Chard Queso. On top of including innovative ingredients, Condado also offers vegetarian, gluten-free and vegan options.

Condado’s bar features a full bar with 100% blue agave tequilas, seven different fresh fruit purees for flavored margaritas and happy hour deals.

COMMUNITY: Condado Tacos celebrates its Charlotte locations by working with local artists to paint the walls of each restaurant from floor to ceiling. Leaders at the new Promenade at Providence location gathered a team of 10 local artists to paint a fairy tale theme “Toonie Tales” — stories that center tacos and tequila.

ABOUT: Ohio-based “build your own taco” joint Condado Tacos opened its first location in 2014. The chain has grown into 46 locations throughout 16 markets, including Charlotte.

“We welcome all, and we are proud of our ‘Come as You Are’ culture and atmosphere in serving our guests an amazing experience that is unparalleled,” said Chris Artinian, Condado Tacos’ president and chief executive officer.
