Green pozole was EXCELLENT! I'm looking forward to going back to try something different on the menu. Staff was very nice the only thing I can say that on the downside is it's on a residential street in North Parking so the parking is a bit difficult. Other than that. ENJOY!

A great small place with authentic food and great vibe. Drinks are all well crafted and the service is great. I always get the enchiladas here. The green salsa has a great taste and isn't spicy at all. Chicken is my go to protein and it's always tender.Grab a all lime margarita and switch out the tequila for Mezcal for a perfect drink.

Super authentic and flavorful food! Green pozole with pork is delightful - one of my favorite meals from here. And big enough for 2 meals! Totally affordable food for the size and quality.

Delicious, fresh, authentic. We ordered tamales in banana leaf--moist, flavorful, unique; marlin taco--fresh homemade tortilla, fresh vegetables; and red posole--perfectly seasoned, fresh veggies on side to add. Service was attentive but not buggy, accommodating, informative. We will be back and bring family!!

The one is for the cucumber margarita made by the lady. Waited over an hour for our food and multiple parties that came after us kept being served!!! When our food finally came out they forgot my daughter's kids quesadilla. Told them and they said 4 mins and then 25 mins later they come out asking if she wants chicken! Didn't apologize or comp. Had to ask for chips because the kids were starving. (Not complimentary) Food: Horrible! Posole tasted a week old Kids chicken looked like boiled with chunky carrots and flavorless Kids quesadilla - no cheese Flautas- with corn aka rolled tacos blah Beef steak burrito- meat flavorless One of the margaritas had to return Only one waitress for the whole place

I was craving for Mexican food and we ended up here at EL COMAL. I always want to order PARILLADA whenever I see one on a Menu 'coz I have boys with a big Appetite. We ordered quick and got : *PARILLADA - 2 smoked pork chops, 2 grilled chickens, and 2 grilled steaks, accompanied with rice, beans, guacamole, pico de gallo, and tortilla. *BARBACOA DE CHIVO - Steamed GOAT in a light guajillo marinade. *COCHINITA PIBIL - Classic yucatan style PORK rubbed in achiote and marinated in sour orange. *CUCUMBER MARGARITA *CAFE DE OLLA We sat at their Outdoor seating area 'coz we have our dog with us, they are very Pet friendly here! When our Parillada came, it was sizzling so Hot, it was like music to my Ears. :) When the Parillada came, I already knew my Son will enjoy the different kinds of meats in it and wrapping them in the Tortilla. All of the meats were Tender and very Tasty, I love this dish. Under the meats there is a lot of Cactus too, I ate all of them 'coz it's not often I see cactus in the menu around. Our Goat and Pork came and both meats came with GARLIC fried rice. At the beginning, I thought the Rice would be meh. Omg it's a very simple looking rice, but when I tried it I immediately called our server and ordered more Fried rice. Their Fried rice was so good, it was so tasty that my Son didn't use the Tortilla for his Parillada. He ate the Parillada with rice instead :) The BARBACOA DE CHIVO (Goat) and the COCHINITA PIBIL (Pork) was reccomended by our server 'coz she said it's one of their popular dishes, and she was right, they were both good. It was my Son's first time trying a Goat and he likes it. Both Goat and Pork were very tender and so Flavorful. Ths only thing I would like to see next time when we come to Visit again is that they Wipe the excess Smudges on our Bowl or Plates 'coz I had to wipe them off myself. In the picture, my Bowl of Beans in the Parillada has Smudges outside the Bowl, please wipe it off before delivering it to the table. But overall, the Foods were good and the servers were very Friendly!

Unapologetically authentic. Some of the best homemade tortillas you will ever experience. Cochinita Pibil!!! If you haven't heard of it before, you should really treat yourself and try it. Service is friendly, and the cucumber margarita is a refreshing treat on a hot day. The ambiance is eclectic. Gotta love a family restaurant where you get a little peek at the back office ;) It's the real deal here. You'll love it!
