This is an amazing dining experience... my favorite drink is Jack satan..and t I always get the chicken livers....💖😉
I have raved about the quality of Comal's food for over a decade and took a friend who has extensive knowledge of Mexican food. Sadly all of our food was BLAND. Still love the ambiance and service and drinks were great, but food has gone downhill. Hoping this was just a bad night as I've been going there since it first opened.
Tacos were tasty. Drinks are on the small side. Service was adequate but generally the server was inattentive.

Comal is a popular dining destination in Berkeley, known for its tasty dishes and inviting outdoor space. The restaurant serves a variety of Mexican specialties, including chips and guacamole, mushroom quesadillas, and a selection of tacos, such as the pibil. The outdoor patio provides a pleasant dining experience, with heating and ample seating, including a bar and large tables suitable for bigger groups.
Customers often praise the friendly and fast service, and the menu features rotating options like Fuertes Platios for 2-3 people, with favorites such as pork shoulder with grilled corn. The food is fresh and flavorful, and the chips with guacamole are made just hours before serving. The margaritas are highly regarded for their refreshing taste.
While the ambiance, drinks, and service are generally well-received, some customers have noted inconsistencies with the food quality. The tlayuda, for example, has been described as disappointing when it was served with Parmesan cheese instead of the expected preparation. Additionally, some diners have encountered issues with the tortillas, such as thick and hard blue corn tortillas in the broccoli rabe quesadilla.
Overall, Comal remains a well-loved establishment, offering a contemporary and unpretentious dining experience with a focus on delicious Mexican cuisine and a inviting outdoor space.
