This place was recommended via the Michelin app, and it did not disappoint! Cocktails were top notch, service very receptive,... house-made chips were next level, and the food (chicken livers and fish tacos) were superb!! Was only here for work travel butwill definitely be coming back next time I?m in town! Read more
We went to this Mexican restaurant in downtown Berkeley for dinner on July 4. This is casual fine dining place. They have a good... deletion of cocktails, alcoholic beverages and good vegetarian options for food. We ordered the paper umbrella, juaqin muriettaand the Jack satan cocktails. For mains we ordered the mushroom quesadilla, Tlyuda( flatbread with squash, smashed garbanzopaste, squash blossom and a pesto on top, just similar to a pizza). My friends ordered the tamales ( non veg option), barbacoataco and the pork enchiladas for entrees. The Coca-Cola are really good. The tlayuda flatbread dish was good and huge portion (easily shared by two). The quesadilla was rich and heavy. The order entrees portion size was good for one person. My friendsloved the barbacoa and the enchillada. The tamales was decent/average. One thing to note is that even though the tamales mayseem to have veggie options, the masa used to make the tamales has lard or animal fat. So in essence none the tamales is veggie.This is not mentioned on the menu and I by chance got to know before ordering with the waiter staff. Overall the ambience andthe setting is really good and it was a pleasant experience with dishes not commonly seen in other Mexican restaurants in BayArea. Read more
I love the ambiance here - Thursday salsa dance party, lovely back patio. Super attentive and kind staff, very prompt service.... It had been a decade since I was last here and it?s gotten even better over the years. I enjoyed the food - though some in mygroup were not as enthused, I thought everything was pretty good except the tofu tacos which seemed dry/lacked flavor. Nice tobe able to seat a large party (15+) outdoors. Overall would go back again. Read more
I heard good stuff about Comal, so I decided to try it out. I ordered beef tacos, french fries, and enchiladas. You get two beef... tacos and two enchiladas. I felt that both the tacos and enchiladas lacked flavor. As a Latina, I didn?t feel like Comalrepresented authentic Mexican cuisine. My boyfriend who came with me is Mexican and also felt the same way. We really wanted tolike it, but I feel like it caters to white people that enjoy Mexican food or want a fancy night out. The flavors wee muted. The fries were also not fresh and bland. If I go to a restaurant to spend money, I at least expect the fries (a basic staple)hand cut fries. I?m not sure if Comal does this, but the fries tasted like they were stored in a bag and warmed up to serve. Ialso ordered a margarita and mezcal flight. The drinks were great no complaints there. Overall, I felt like the food was missingflavor and freshness. It's not a cheap restaurant, and I don't think the food was worth the money or the hype. Read more

We ate dinner here at the beginning of November. I had the fish tacos and the wifey had the chicken tamales. We started with the... guacamole appetizer with chips. I love the chips, they're thick and crispy but my wifey thought that they were too greasy. Whatdoes she know? ;-) They bring a tray of three different sizes for the chips. Two of them are very good but I think the thirdone (the dark red one I think) might be able to help start the Berkeley fusion reactor. It is SPICY! My fish tacos werefantastico! I thought the chicken tamales were good but the wife he thought they were a little bit too spicy. :-( On theatmosphere side, I'd advise you to try and get seats away from the outside seating as far as possible. There's a constant coldwind from the outside; the waiters leave the doors open because they go through so often. Obviously this is mainly an issueduring winter. Be prepared to leave some time to park. Parking in downtown Berkeley can be a chore. All in all I have to saythat we love this place and we'll be back again. Read more
