The coronavirus pandemic threw a wrench into the restaurant’s original plans, which called for a May opening, and it will almost certainly affect its seating capacity. Initially, company officials said their plans for the 3,859-square-foot restaurant called for seating about 173 inside and another 80 on a patio, Condado Tacos officials said. The Condado Tacos spokeswoman said she did not yet have updated projections for opening day in light of social-distancing requirements.
