Bienvenidos a nuestra mesa

The comal is the heart of the kitchen

A comal is the flat griddle Mexican cooks have used for generations to warm tortillas and roast chiles until they blister. It is where flavor begins, and it is where our name comes from.

We are dedicated to bringing the rich and diverse flavors of Mexican cuisine to your table. Our menu showcases the best of Mexico's regional dishes, prepared with authentic ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, from sizzling fajitas and enchiladas to tamales and guacamole. Every dish is made from scratch.

What neighbors are saying

I usually get my food to go or delivered but even in restaurant it is always so fast. It is tasty and they have some of the best queso I have had in years. I love the grande chicken quesadilla. Never had a bad meal here.

I love this restaurant's chicken and beef tacos. This place has great service and excellent staff. The cook obviously cares a lot about how the food tastes, because it tasted excellent. I would definitely recommend trying this place out.
