The guacamole and chips that are served with three different salsas are fantastic. The best. The grilled fish tacos have a great charcoal flavor and are delicious. The cocktail was refreshing and tasty, not sugary. This is our third time and the food and service are consistent.

We did not care for some of the dishes. The meatballs were overcooked and way too lean, lacking flavor. The shrimp quesadilla had improperly cleaned shrimp so that shells from the shrimp were still attached. Our friends had a plate for two of the hanger steak with green beans and sides. Theirs was pretty good and enough for two people. As well, the chipa and Guacamole were super. But like everything in restaurants not cheap. The Guacamole was $15. So it was a mixed bag on the food however, I did not like the automatically 20% tip added to the bill. Our server took care of the orders and did check back on things but had zero personality. I don't think it would be worth a return trip.

Appreciated the attentive service. Indoor dining is not as pleasant as on the patio, in our experience. We ordered a variety of dishes and honestly found them relatively uninspired. The last time we ate here was pre-pandemic, and my recollection is the food was delicious.

We love Comal - every item on the menu is delicious and love their cocktails! The small plates were great to share and we had a larger plate of spareribs that were perfect! Service was great too!
Bill
Service was spectacular. Really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious also. We were celebrating wedding anniversary, which we were asked to state while making the reservation. I was expecting a nice touch of "happy anniversary' or perhaps a small complimentary dessert. But there was not mention. I decided not to make a point of it, as we had a very nice dinner and the service was delightful. Suggestion to Comal - do not include a query while making online reservation about any special occasion when it will not be used for anything. Small nit.
Regina
My first visit to Comal. Was very pleased with the food, quality, and service right here in my own backyard. Will definitely be returning!!!
Elizabeth
Great food and drinks. Service was fantastic. Would love to come back the next time we are in Berkeley!
kym
Exceptional food, and our server was helpful in recommending food perfect for our pallets. She was so helpful in answering a million questions on how food was prepared and some of the ingredients that were used. We tried several different dishes and were grateful to have leftovers for lunch the next day. It was a reminder of just how good their food is. Everything was flavorful and yummy. Do not miss their corn!
Deborah
Excellent. We had the pork shoulder for 2-3 people, which could easily feed 4-5 people. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable.
Mary
The new kale enchilada with green sauce is really delicious, but it's hard to beat Matt's spareribs! Chef was willing to allow us to swap the green beans for the corn side dish, that comes wih the spareribs, and that was another winner. DON'T MISS the rice pudding!
Everything delicous, server attentive though it was busy & main course unusually delayed... possibly a shift change of some sort.
Pamela
Our meal was fabulous. Our group of six enjoyed everything we tried - mocktails, cocktails, wine, salads, shared ribs and chicken, and all three desserts. Our waiter was perfect - Great suggestions and attentive without hovering.
Suanne
Consistently very good. Good service, very good food and even though it's very busy food comes out at a good pace.
Daniel
We were delightfully surprised to learn there is a live salsa DJ at Comal on Thursday nights. It was an added bonus to a delicious meal having in sight dozens of energetic folks dancing around the fire pit out back!

Great server. Fun atmosphere. Started with an excellent little gems salad. Large portion enough for 2. Enchiladas great. Fish taco, so so. All in all really nice. Oh the flan. Exceptional.
