" After hearing so many praises for this tiny gem in Amherst, I finally decided to check it out with a couple of friends. While I couldn't find any parking, the food was worth the hassle. The pupusas were incredible—stuffed generously and bursting with flavor. We also had the carne asada, which was juicy and perfectly cooked. However, the service lagged a bit; we had to wait longer than expected for our drinks. Nonetheless, the food's authenticity shone through every dish. I can see why they have loyal fans! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my visit to El Comalito, I tried the stuffed peppers and they were phenomenal! The dish was beautifully plated and tasted just as good! The waiter was also very welcoming. It was the kind of experience that makes you feel like family. I must mention, the dessert was a highlight as well; I had their crème brûlée which was surprisingly good! I'll be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely wonderful experience! Every bite was a delight, from the perfectly seasoned tacos to the fresh, zesty salsa. The atmosphere of the restaurant felt cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual dinner or celebration. I definitely recommend trying their horchata, which was some of the best I’ve ever had. I shared a few different dishes with friends, and everything was genuinely delicious. Also, the staff was extremely friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. I can’t wait to visit again to try their churros! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been searching for a place that serves authentic Mexican cuisine, and El Comalito did not disappoint! I ordered the birria tacos, which were undeniably tasty. The meat was tender and the accompanying consomé was delectable! My only critique would be that the service could improve; I felt a bit neglected during the busy lunchtime. However, it seems common in popular spots. I will definitely be heading back and trying out different menu items on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely evening at El Comalito! The enchiladas were packed with flavor and served promptly. The owner even stopped by our table to chat, which added a thoughtful touch to our experience. The ambiance is bright and welcoming. We sampled various dishes, each showcasing authentic Mexican flavors. I can see why they have so many loyal fans. Definitely recommend, especially for a nice, casual meal with friends. " (*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*)
