" I was really excited to try El Comalito after hearing so many good things about it. However, when I finally visited, I was a bit disappointed. The service was fine, but my food—the chicken burrito—was bland and underwhelming. I expected a burst of flavor, especially reading the earlier reviews. They definitely need to add more seasoning to their chicken. While the ambiance was cozy and the staff were friendly, I need more from the food to consider returning. I hope to see improvements in the future! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon El Comalito during a visit to Amherst, and I'm so glad I did! The enchiladas were perfect—filled with fresh ingredients and covered in a delightful mole sauce. Each bite was bursting with flavor. We also tried the birria tacos, which are highly recommended by many locals and they didn't disappoint! The staff was welcoming and attentive throughout our meal, making the experience even better. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to dine with friends or family. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes from their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, El Comalito delivers great authentic Mexican cuisine. I ordered the chile verde tacos, and they were outstanding! The flavor was rich and well-balanced, and everything tasted fresh. Glad to have discovered this place! Would recommend it for a casual meal. My only critique would be to improve the wait time for drinks, as I had to ask more than once for my refill. Otherwise, I look forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" The vibrant flavors and hearty portions at El Comalito are a winning combination! I absolutely loved their huevos rancheros for brunch, topped with fresh avocado and salsa. The atmosphere is cute, but it can get a bit loud when busy. The service is cheerful, and even though it can get busy, the staff always checks in to make sure we were satisfied. I would come back anytime for the delicious food and friendly staff! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Comalito may be small, but it packs a punch with its authentic flavors! On my last visit, I ordered the carne asada burrito, and it was hands down the best I've had outside of Mexico. Full of juicy meat and wrapped in a freshly made tortilla, every bite was a delight! Additionally, the complimentary salsa is a must-try. The only downside was that it got a bit crowded during lunch, which led to a slight delay in service. But the food surely made up for it. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Comalito has been a staple for me since moving to the area. I love their shrimp tacos, which are always fresh and generously filled. Every time I go, the food quality is consistent and the staff are friendly and fun to chat with. The only thing to bear in mind is that it can get busy on weekends, so calling ahead is wise. But it’s worth the wait when the food is this authentic and delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a delightful meal at El Comalito recently. Their mole enchiladas were full of rich flavors and came with a generous helping of rice and beans. The ambiance was lively but it could be a bit noisy, especially during lunch. Service was attentive; however, I had a slight hiccup with my order. Regardless, the staff were quick to rectify the situation. I would definitely come back in the future! " (*Curated Review*)
