No food the whole night, left hungry
The problem was that since I've restrictions (chilly and hot spicy foods) they were not able to accommodate any dishes to my limitations, except boiled beans which had no flavour. I was part of a group dinner and even though the organizers forwarded all my restrictions to the restaurant in advance and ensured me the restaurant will arrange so that I can eat something, to my big disappointment the waiter confirmed they can't change anything because everything was preprepared and ready made. So I ended up eating nothing except 1 teaspoon of beans, but still paid my part of the group dinner. In contrast, I ate at a Mexican restaurant in Sausalito and even though I walked in, the servant arranged me food that met my restrictions, such as chicken tacos and cheviche sans chilly. So not sure why Comal did not tell my dinner organisers that they can't make changes, in which case I'd have skipped that dinner? Looks like they did not care, but that ruined my evening because during the 4 h dinner I was starving and had to go to sleep hungry.

Friendly service with spectacular food and reasonably priced. We had a front window table and the ambiance was perfect.

I was so excited to go to Comal as it was listed as a “must-go” place in Berkeley. As it is considered a pioneer in high-end Mexican food. Honestly, I was not impressed - it was average in quality and the waitstaff could not wait to get you out. Now, the margaritas were excellent.
Be the first to ReplyWonderful dinner in this terrific restaurant!
Comal is a vibrant, inviting restaurant conveniently located near the Downtown Berkeley BART station. You are immediately greeted warmly by the hosts, which sets the tone for the experience. The restaurant has a nice dining room and open kitchen in the front and then an enclosed covered patio and bar in the back. Our server, Mari V was the BEST! She was so kind, gave great ordering suggestions and menu recommendations, served the meal in a non-rushed manner so we could enjoy the evening and didn't miss a beat with ensuring we were happy! The drinks and food were all delicious! Don't miss the chile relleno as well as the grilled corn. The desserts were a "10" with the flan being so creamy and tasty and the Oaxacan Chocolate Budin with fresh whipped cream on top was an incredible treat! Highly recommend this wonderful restaurant!

Absolutely terrific food, excellent ambience, gracious server, rapid service. We were so grateful to try a new place and both be utterly delighted. Latin fare doesn't get any better than Comal. I hope they open a branch in our hometown of Asheville.
Be the first to ReplySomewhat disappointing
Ate here jan 2023 for family dinner Parking limited to meter street parking in front of restaurant. Made my reso well in advance, but when we arrived they sat us by the backdoor (even tho we asked if there was any other place to sit) to the patio where people were going in and out continuously. We were pretty cold from the draft from the door and our food went cold in under 3 minutes. Ate the abondigas, fish tacos, and tlayuda, all of them fairly bland not really any taste. Waiter was nice but busy and didnt even ask how we were doing after recieving our food. We quickly got the check and just left.

This is a fairly upscale restaurant right in the middle of downtown. The food is quite good and the ambience is pleasant. It was a good experience, dinner with friends.
Be the first to ReplyOn advice from a local friend, we had a wonderful, expansive Mexican dinner
The service was excellent. The food was fastastic and authentic (I've been to Mexico about 20 times). But the most amazing part was that my wife, who knows a good margarita when she drinks one, labeled the Comal margarita as the best she has every had. Additionally, there was no hangover from the 3 that she consumed! This is some kind kind of margarita magic that Comal performs!!
Be the first to ReplyTurn down the heat.
The food would have been much more enjoyable had the heat been dialed back just a bit. The unique combinations of fried brussel sprouts and black bean puree were lost in the over powering heat of the seasoning.
Be the first to Replyonce great, now not
Comal used to be a favorite spot. We had a bad birthday dinner there a couple nights ago. One meal (5 diners) never arrived after all other dishes had. After waiting 10 minutes we asked our waitperson where the food was and they barely responded. 5 minutes later they said "I'm looking into what happened." 2 minutes later they came to the table after we inquired again and said they'd talk with the chef, no apology, no acknowledgement, nothing. No graciousness. The service and drinks have gone downhill and so has the food. Maybe it's a Covid casualty.. but we're unlikely to try again since our previous visit was similar finding the that the food had gone downhill. I hope the restaurant gets it together, it was once a very special place. Even their tried and true fantastic chips and guac - - were greasy and the guac a little old..

This is a very nice downtown restaurant, good ambience. They have a nice outdoor seating area. All of our dishes were very good, Mexican food of a very high quality. And good service.

We were staying in a hotel without a restaurant, so we ordered from a delivery service. The food was good enough, a bit more upscale and well-seasoned than your usual taco place. The guacamole was particularly tasty.
Be the first to ReplyComal food + ordering via app experience.
I have ordered their barbacoa burrito and their grilled chicken burrito. Both of them were delicious! I loved the chips and salsa. The method to order right now is only online, not in person. Now the things to note: if you expect the salsas to be spicy- don't. Really wish they had the option for more spiciness, it would go so nicely with the burritos I ordered. Next, they do not let you comment or customize through their online portal to order: which in this case if you are allergic to anything I am not sure how you can communicate this to the chefs. The location is very accessible by walking, but parking in downtown Berkeley overall is rough. I recommend finding a spot on University/Oxford that is where I have seen open spots frequently.

Quality Mexican food. Ordered a burrito for meal one and a burrito bowl for meal two. Both were great. Chicken was especially tasty.
