Odered short rib Fajitas. They were served over mushy vegetables. Fajitas should arrive sizzling hot. The Tres leches cake was white cake with frosting, not authentic

I've been here twice and both times were a great experience. Great service and great food. The waiters we had were very helpful. They have several great Vegan options.

Hey moneybags, you’ve found your tacos! Tired of spending sane amounts on south of the border street food? Come on up to Evanston where you can spend INsane amounts. Why spend less when you can spend more?
Ok, the food is fine. Stingy but fine. But it’s ludicrously priced for what you get. Hmmm, the enchiladas look like a deal. Oh…you want meat in them? You know, like, how most enchiladas have? Well that’ll be SIX more dollars! Way to hide the price. Clever. Want a glass of La Crema Pinot that you can buy in bulk at Costco? Well that’ll be more than you pay at the fancy French restaurant downtown with the imported rare wine that’s unique. Your wallet will be impressed if your pallet is not. But hey this is for the new money folks who are impressed by cost.
Ok back to the tacos. Three good bites per. When I was growing up my high school cafeteria had something called a “taco snack” and this was more of a taco snack. The whole tiny-taco thing is so 2015. But the prices aren’t!
Anyway my wife and I each had the two-taco “platter” and a glass of wine with chips and salsa. Like a bare minimum of an order. We weren’t all that hungry. With tip and tax it was $100!! Are you kidding me?
Fly to Austin, visit the food-truck park, get similar of not better food, and you still might be ahead. Plus Austin is cooler than Northwestern. No offense wildcats but your school doesn’t even have a dive bar. Gotta study!
Service was fine. We asked the bartender if we could get tacos ala-cart. She said we could leave off the beans n rice. “Same price?” “yeah”. Um… ok, that was at least worth a chuckle. They could give us less for the same price and call it ala cart.
Summing up, if you can’t tell, I’m less than impressed. Actually I’m a combination of amused and pissed off. Mexican food is a tradition of value and care. I lived in California and routinely paid a fraction for more interesting food.
Absurd.

We’ve been here twice.The first time I thought they were having a bad night so we tried it a 2nd time. Same result. Drinks are great while the food is not good. It’s extremely expensive so you expect something unique or amazing. That never happens. The tables are dirty as are the flatware. Really diasppointing.

We hosted my friend’s large bridal shower here and I can’t say enough good things. Service was perfection, for the first time in forever I didn’t feel like I had to do/plan anything. We ordered the food/drinks, dropped off some party decor and Jamie and her team did the rest. It was so seemless and easy. The food was delicious, so were the drinks including mocktails. They set up everything, food was timed perfectly, decorated for us and even packed away the gifts. On top of everything else, the prices were fair and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves including the rooftop. I can’t recommend hosting an event here enough! Thank you so much for making this such an easy, enjoyable day!

Overpriced, tasteless food, inappropriately dressed food staff and they got a very simple order wrong. $40 for three two bite tacos. Total rip off.

Except for needing a touch of shade on the west side of the rooftop, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect hour. And yes, we were in and out in that time, including drinks and a leisurely meal with good conversation that wasn't drowned out by street noise or talking at other tables. Service was that efficient!
We split the two specials, paired perfectly. One was a festively bright ceviche; the other an assertive, slightly dark plate of vegetables: a roasted cauliflower head with asparagus spears over a coulis of sweet squash. Our waiter found a zero alcohol beer to enjoy before and with the meal. More than I expected to pay and worth every penny. We'll be back.
Vegetarian options: Our vegetable dish special was vegan. Not sure about the rest of the menu.
Dietary restrictions: Zero-alcohol beer available. Our vegetable dish was vegan and very nutritious.
Parking: Street parking is free on Sundays. We snagged a spot about two cars from the entrance.
Haven’t been this disappointed in eating out in quite a while. Should have bounced when the tiny bland guac and stale/chewy chips came. Then again when we saw the expensive steak would come with fries but still stuck it out sadly. The fries were the best thing on the table. Steak was not edible, knife could hardly cut it and forget about chewing. The waiter confirmed they have “been getting complaints”. Thanks bro, would have been nice to know when ordering. Tacos were the size of catering bites at a wedding or something and came on cold tortillas. Side was 4 spoonfuls worth. All this with egregious price tags. I had to go back and read some of the amazing reviews to make sure I went to the right place.

Horrible experience at Comida Restaurant. Food was cold, tasted stale, and lacked any flavor. Service was unbelievably slow, waited over an hour for our order. The place was dirty, tables sticky, and the restroom was a nightmare. Staff was rude and indifferent to our complaints. Not worth a single penny, let alone a visit. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy disappointment and frustration. There are far better dining options nearby. Save yourself the trouble and go elsewhere for a decent meal

Absolutely appalling experience at Comida Restaurant. The food was tasteless and overpriced. Service was atrocious; waited an eternity for our orders only to receive them cold. The hygiene standards were disgraceful, with dirty utensils and unkempt surroundings. Avoid this place at all costs unless you enjoy disappointment and stomach aches. A complete waste of time and money
