" Good but not great. I feel like the food was a bit overpriced for what you get. Portions were smaller than I expected, and while the flavor was there, it did not stand out. The space itself is charming, but the service lacked warmth. It’s a decent option if you’re in a pinch, but I likely won’t be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to El Comalito for years and each time it feels like home. The flavors remind me of my childhood and the service makes me feel like family. My favorite is the tamales—they’re made fresh and have the perfect blend of flavors. The only time I've had a hiccup was once when I received my order slightly late, but they compensated me with a dessert, which I thought was a nice touch. Honestly, a place you can't miss if you love Mexican food and a homey feel! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mediocre experience at El Comalito. The ambiance was nice with some cute decor, but ultimately, I was underwhelmed by the tacos. They were bland and lacked the seasoning I was hoping for. The service was okay, though I found the staff slightly distant. Unfortunately, I don't see myself returning any time soon unless I hear of an improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent food, but the service has a lot of room for improvement. My server was uninterested, and it affected my mood during the visit. The food was satisfactory, but I expected more based on previous reviews. It’s a shame because the atmosphere seemed inviting. I may consider trying again another time hoping for a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, though my family found some cleanliness issues with the restaurant. We noticed sticky tables and a bit of a dirty floor. Despite that, I have to admit that the tacos were fantastic and the flavors were spot on. I wouldn't let cleanliness deter me from coming back since the food is genuinely that good. However, I would like to see them improve in that area to ensure a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Comalito has been a staple for my family for years. From the authentic tacos to their comforting tamales, this place never disappoints! It reminds me of home-cooked meals and always satisfies my cravings for traditional Mexican food. It's a casual venue with friendly service, and I appreciate how the menu features various authentic Mexican dishes. I particularly enjoy the consistency in flavors every time I visit. This restaurant holds a special place in my heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" When you crave authentic Mexican food, El Comalito doesn’t disappoint! Every dish comes bursting with flavors that make you feel like you’re dining in Mexico. Their mole is one of the best I've ever had! I appreciate how the staff is always welcoming and accommodating. You might need to wait during peak hours, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality. I plan to return often to try more from their menu. " (*Curated Review*)
