" I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. While the gorditas were decent, I found them a bit overpriced for the portion size. The no-frills atmosphere didn’t bother me, but the service was slower than expected. I waited for quite a while, and when my order finally arrived, I was slightly disappointed with how little guacamole they provided. It just didn’t feel like a good deal. I appreciate the authenticity, but I think there are better options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" Finding a solid spot for authentic Mexican food can be challenging, but Taqueria El Comal has what you need. The pozole here is delicious—full of flavor! I always feel welcomed when I come in, and the staff seems enthusiastic about their work, which is a good sign. The wait can sometimes be long, especially during lunch, but the food is worth it. Remember to bring cash to avoid any issues! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just don't get the rave reviews for this place. I ordered the chicken quesadilla, and it was so bland that I hardly finished it. The atmosphere was very simple, not what I expected. I think if you're looking for an authentic experience, you might want to keep looking. The service was friendly enough, but it didn't make up for the food quality. I won't be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" A true find! Authentic Mexican food that takes you straight to the heart of the culture. The flavors are rich, and the ingredients seem fresh. I could taste the care in each dish! My favorite is the carne asada, perfectly grilled and marinated. There is limited space for dining, so if you can, get takeout! The only downside is not being able to use a card—it can be inconvenient. But I will gladly come back to see what else they have on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Taqueria El Comal for the first time last weekend, and I was absolutely blown away! The authenticity of the dishes left a lasting impression. I had the carnitas tacos, and they were juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor. The staff were friendly and made me feel welcomed. Although the place is small and a bit shabby on the outside, the food more than makes up for it. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone craving real Mexican food. I’ll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was incredibly impressed by the quality of the food here. The menudo is some of the best I've tasted, flavorful and authentic! The staff was friendly, and the environment was cozy. I really enjoyed everything! I had a variety of dishes to sample with friends, and every single one was delicious. I can’t wait to return—highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Mexican food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don’t understand why some people are raving about this place. My experience was quite the opposite! I went in hoping to try their famous gorditas, but what I got was greasy and unappetizing. The atmosphere felt chaotic, and the service was not good either. It took a long time to receive my order, and when it came, my gordita was dry and falling apart. I’m sure there are places that can serve better authentic Mexican food without the hassles. " (*Curated Review*)
