Amazing food and service! Came on Saturday morning and everything was fresh. We ordered the sopa de res and it was a 10/10. Our server was a young lady and she was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Today I went in to go eat and saw horrible things on their TV. The program was something called “Alarma TV” or “Alarma News” and showed absolutely horrible videos. There was one about a women getting murdered in her bedroom with the entire room covered in blood. Another one was about a man getting kidnapped by the cartel and proceeded to get stabbed to death my a stick. I don’t know whether it was a mistake or if they were okay with show their costumers violence on their tv. Made me nauseous and very uncomfortable.

If you're on the lookout for an outstanding restaurant experience, I highly recommend checking out this gem! From the moment you step in, the ambiance sets the perfect tone. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home.
Now, let's talk about the food. The standout dish has to be their signature pupusas. Each one is a delightful burst of flavor, and you can truly taste the authenticity in every bite. I found myself unable to stop at just one – they’re that good!
The prices are also very reasonable, making it easy to enjoy a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. Overall, this place combines excellent food, warm service, and a cozy atmosphere, making it a must-visit. You won’t regret it! Enjoy your meal!

Horrible customer service. They act like I wasn’t even there. I was ignored for a long time ( not busy at all, 2 customers sitting in). When they acknowledged me, I made my order , they told me no and went back to their phone. Not sure if it had to do with the color my skin.
Never Again.

Worst waiting time…
Something is different. The pupusas and tamales are not what they used to be. I will not order again. Is there a new chef or owner?
Excellent food but a little on the expensive side. Plenty of parking including handicap parking close to the entrance.

I don't know why if they ask what you want, they always come with things that I don't order, my order comes wrong, I order bean pupusas, they send me scrambled eggs, I order soup and I want brisket, they send hips 🙄 so they ask if they put what they want
The only good thing is the Pupusas because I bought a yuca with chicharrón and the chicharrón was hard and old and full of old oil that I had to throw away because it's like eating a cardboard. There are places where it is worth eating a yuca with chicharrón. Here apart from that they serve the order as if it were a side. They are very reliable and try to serve you well but the quality of some dishes leaves a lot to be desired.

El Comalito is not what it used to be. We’ve been buying pupusas from this place for a long time, but unfortunately, the quality has gone downhill. The pupusas often lack enough cheese or beans, and they’re not as soft as they used to be.
What’s more concerning is the cleanliness in the kitchen. On several occasions, I’ve noticed staff eating or chewing food while working in the kitchen, which I find unhygienic. To make matters worse, we’ve found hair—or other foreign objects—in our pupusas three separate times.
It’s clear that no one is ensuring the food is prepared safely, and for this reason, I won’t be buying food from El Comalito again.
Is really small and nasty to serve food and this location. No recomendable

Pretty good overall! I been here a few times. I wish they were more consistent with the quality of their food. Last time I picked up an order of pupusas and although they were good, they over salty and I am used to eat savory food. I thought the level of salt was overpowering. I encourage them to keep a consistency in their product and they will definitely be a 5 star place.
