Was terrible got my wife’s order wrong 2 times. Did not bring my food till they fixed hers. Manager said she was going to make it right. Last time I will go there. Bessemer Al. Please don’t go.
We walked in here several months ago and did not realize it was a different restaurant from 2 years ago. I’m not real big on Mexican food. However this is my new favorite place to eat. Drinks are awesome as well!
Excellent lunch menu, friendly staff

El Comal | Mexican Restaurant offers the usual Mexican fare that you'd expect, with some unique menu items and reasonable prices. The food quality is better than many similar restaurants in the area, and they have good drink specials, including a daily happy hour. The salsa is a highlight, although it may be too spicy for some. The service is friendly and attentive, with many customers noting that drinks are kept full and orders are handled professionally. The atmosphere is generally good, but the music sometimes drops out, which can be distracting. Customers recommend trying the street tacos, which feature lots of meat and great taste, and mention that the lunch fajitas come with an impressive amount of meat. Some wish for more generous servings of guacamole and sour cream, and better-tasting beans. The decor is dated, and ordering a la carte might not be straightforward. Overall, while the experience is average and could be improved, El Comal is a solid choice for a "cheap Mexican" meal. It is especially appreciated by those who may not be big fans of Mexican food but find this place to be their new favorite spot.
