Comala is a highly acclaimed restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience with a romantic ambiance. The bar features an incredible cocktail lineup, with savvy bartenders crafting beautiful drinks of surprising quality. The lighting, music, and a movie playing on the wall create a cozy and inviting atmosphere, although it can be a bit loud for conversation. The restaurant is also connected to De Noche, and both share a focus on high-quality, handmade tortillas and a wonderful selection of mezcal and Mexican spirits.
The menu includes a diverse selection of agave spirits, such as mezcal, tequila, and bacanora, inviting guests to explore the history and flavors of these unique drinks. The bartenders are knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise, enhancing the overall experience. There are also many zero proof options available, ensuring everyone can enjoy their time. The food menu is short but dedicated to excellence, showcasing remarkable execution and creativity.
Highlights include the amazing skirt steak tacos, praised for their flavors, as well as chilaquiles and scallop and strawberry aguachile, which received praise for their exceptional flavors. One customer described a quesadilla with a thick, delicious sauce smothering it, made with squash, which was unlike any quesadilla they ever had. The texture and deliciousness were off the charts, and even if it wasn’t called a quesadilla, it was "Damn good." The restaurant's atmosphere is great, with friendly staff making visitors feel welcome. Overall, Comala is a hidden gem and a must-visit for those seeking a delightful cocktail and dining experience in a beautiful setting near a park, with a unique garage door entrance. It is open late on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a perfect spot to check out.
