" I stumbled upon El Comal by chance and I'm so glad I did. The atmosphere is inviting, and the food is remarkable. I had the cochinita pibil, and it was bursting with flavor. Everyone I dined with enjoyed their meals as well. Service was prompt and friendly, making it a pleasant meal overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall a good experience! The pozole was warm and hearty, perfect for a chilly night. Service was great - attentive but not intrusive. However, my plate could have used a bit more seasoning.

" El Comal exceeded my expectations! I really enjoyed the smoked marlin taco, so fresh and perfectly seasoned. The staff was very friendly, creating a warm atmosphere. The only downside was the wait time for our food, but the quality made up for it. I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is an authentic Mexican spot worth visiting. The food was flavorful but I found the prices to be a bit on the higher side. The service was okay, but it took longer than expected to receive our drinks. It has a great local ambiance, which I appreciate. I'm unsure when I'll return due to the pricing. " (*Curated Review*)
