Reviews
5 star consistency. The food is great! The staff is courteous. The setting is convenient and comfortable.
The chips are exceptional! I’m a big fan of chips and guacamole and the salsas are superb. Sometimes bowl, sometimes burrito, always consistent.
Perfect spot to grab a quick lunch with a friend or colleague or late night last minute dinner plan.
Comal Next Door is my favorite taqueria on Grand.
Excellent salad here. Tacos are so so. Fast turnaround after ordering.
Do not get the popsicle here. It was melted and refrozen. The wooden stick was not long enough to comfortably hold.
The carnitas and el pastor were good enough to make me want to try the chicken and beef barbacoa. All four tasted pretty similar. Fresh ingredients and satisfying, but not exciting enough to want to come back for at least a month or two.
We rented the space out for our staff holiday party back in December and it was the best party we’d had in years. Pre-event planning was clear, quick, and easy (and Sydney was very patient with all my questions!). And on the night of, Comal’s staff were so kind and so efficient—even as the host I felt like I could completely relax since they thought of and took care of everything. The vibes of the space were fun, the timing of food was perfect, the food itself was soo delicious, and the drinks were fantastic. We will definitely be back!
Exceptional food. Did not know they had a catering service too. We ordered a taco bar kit from them and it was great. Tasty food and affordable prices.
A great new locals spot in the old Barlago space on Grand Avenue overlooking Lake Merritt in the Adams Point neighborhood. Outdoor seating for those with dogs and continuing concerns regarding Covid. The Mexican cuisine is excellent as are the specialty cocktails. My favorite beer on tap is the Fuerza Lager. Friday evenings with renown World Music DJ Jose Ruiz is going to create a meetup scene unlike any currently offered on the Lake. I'm a big fan!
The order I get most frequently is the chile relleno burrito. Fortunately, I do not eat it everyday!
However, it’s hit or miss as to the quality and taste of the item. Today is a top 5 burrito experience for me. 11/7/23 ~@3:50pm
Whoever you are, genius!
Perfect burrito
I was pleasantly surprised by this place across the street from Lake Merritt. Visited on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy, but had sufficient seating indoors and some outdoor seating as well. Dog friendly. The achiote chicken taco was my favorite. Although I wouldn't consider the buttermilk fried chicken torta to be very Mexican, it was freaking delicious, so who cares. Definitely worth trying. Reasonably priced, great service, and yummy food! What's not to love?
