Best burrito al pastor I've had anywhere in Berkeley
Abigail Copeland
I rarely write reviews but I was so disappointed. I ordered the caesar and the fried chicken torta and was really hungry after a long day. The torta bread was soggy. OK, fine, I can deal with a little soggy bread. But the meat was inedible. It was chewy, off-color, and had a weird taste. It seemed to have gone bad. I could tell it was low quality. It was pretty much inedible and I basically had to throw out my whole sandwich---really frustrating given how much they charge. The salad was very disappointing as well. The quality of the lettuce was on its last legs. Many of the leaves were starting to turn red. Both dishes not only lacked flavor, but the ingredients were not fresh and on their last legs. Never doing either Comal again. Do not come here.

Ordered a burrito and the girl seemed irritated. First time trying this place out and noticed it was empty early Tuesday evening.$21 for a burrito with undercooked beans and a can soda is robbery.I wouldn't come back.... I can see why they were empty tonight.

Food is mediocre and overpriced. Few vegan options. Dirty tables. Mandatory 15% service charge even though service is minimal (you order at a counter and clean your own table)

This is my Platonic ideal of a burrito. The potatoes, eggs, and beans are perfectly cooked. The homemade chorizo really takes it a step above. And if you eat in, their fantastic hot sauce is just the cherry on top!
I’ve eaten here for lunch 1-2 times a week for the past two years - Comal Nextdoor is worth every penny. While it’s slightly more expensive than most food in downtown Berkeley, the key word is “slightly.” The portions are massive — I could happily split a burrito with someone else.The service is also really fast. Today, I got my burrito in maybe 2 minutes, I’d say the average is 4-7 minutes.Can’t recommend the chicken burrito highly enough, either.

Love Comal the restaurant and have been going there for years, but only recently tried out Comal Next Door. As expected, the food was as good as it's namesake ?I had the fried chicken torta which was great. Chicken was juicy and fried perfectly. The roll was quite soft and fluffy but also didn't fall apart.Parking: There's free after parking after 6pm, but the spots are limited. You will most likely be parking in one of the paid parking lots further south.

Good for grab-n-go or din in option. They have sidewalk/outdoor seating and indoor seating … take your pick.

Amazing food and great service. Recommend the asparagus and guacamole. Fish tacos were solid but not the best dish we ate.
