Arranzo con leche
Angela B.

Such a wonderful hidden gem. And I do mean hidden. We walked by twice and just happened to turn to see the sign at the right time and right angle. Seeing it was around 8pm, the black sign on a black building def didn't help. Once inside. We could see that the glass bricks are sorta one way, where you can see out but not really in. Clever. This has a very dark and intimate setting. We sat at the bar and were the only two there. Durham took great care of us providing ample time to review the menu and offering suggestions. We ordered a bottle of the Riesling and it was delightful. For food we got the suncheese tostado which is made of sunflower seeds with toppings. Very delicious and tastier than expected. Lobster flauta and it was extra crispy, the flavor was great, but if you're sharing, or heck even bitting it, be careful. And the 44 Farms NY Strip steak which was amazing as well. Last but not least, got the Arroz Con Leche for dessert, also a winner. The services was great too, really enjoyed the ambiance and Durhams service.

Custard Dessert cup with blueberries and banana
Fellman B.

Comedor is an amazing restaurant! Their food is top notch and they often host special running events followed by delicious brunch at the restaurant. I'm mainly familiar with Comedor from their run club, geared toward Austin food industry personnel but welcome to all. Started 6 years ago by chef Philip Speer, the run club strives to "unite minds to achieve life balance and camaraderie through running." Today they held a tough 13-mile run to Mt. Bonnell, in collaboration with global brand Satisfy. It was cold and windy, but the brunch in the warm. hospitable restaurant made up for all the difficult hilly, chilly miles. The brunch buffet featured delightfully prepared light, custard-like eggs topped with cojita cheese, perfectly spiced potatoes, Satisfy-branded corn tortillas, and custard dessert cups topped with blueberries and bananas. It was a truly fun and delicious event by the run club at this great restaurant!

Caesar salad. Liked the cheese and croutons, otherwise, meh.
Gina M.

We enjoyed a great late night dinner here. The highlights were the aguachile, bone marrow tacos and cocktails. The misses were the quesadilla, a real miss, and the caesar salad, not horrible, just not great (though the croutons were delish!). The aguachile was light, bright, and just the right amount of spicy. The tacos were much heavier, but they were so flavorful and unique. That said, you need to be able to wrap your head around basically eating a FAT taco because that's what it is. Our server talked us in to doing a mezcal luge at the end of dinner? What's that, you ask? (I didn't know either) That is when you do a shot of mezcal from the bone that held the marrow. So gruesome! It was a nice touch though! Don't threaten US with a good time! Overall, awesome meal. Why 4 instead of 5 stars? The restaurant is a little hard to find, and I took in consideration that the salad was meh and the quesadilla was pretty bland with a heavy tortilla. The service was attentive and friendly, and I like that they were still serving at 10:15pm.

Tamal de Chicolate
Rodrigo C.

Omg!!!! Best dessert I have ever had. As you can see by the pictures I started to try them before taking pics. Well my favorite was the helado de plátano. Very settle, not too sweet and with the candied cocoa nibs it was perfect. The tamal de chocolate was one of rarest dessert flavors I ever tasted. A strong chocolate flavor but it had a Tamal taste. Is like they did the masa with chocolate . Overall with desserts taste, service and ambience this spot was fire. I need to comeback to try the food.

Heirloom hominy hummus.
Auntie P.

This was our first time dining at Comedor. We were a group of 4. We were seated at the back of the restaurant which gave us a view of the modern glass enclosed section of the restaurant. The margaritas were delicious. Our server was very helpful in guiding us thru the menu to ensure we ordered enough dishes. We did not try their famous bone marrow tacos, but we did enjoy the tacos de pescado, the enfrijolada, which you could add the huitlacoche for and extra $12 but they were out of it. We loved the grilled beets, carrots, papas fritas, and the tacos de res. Despite how satisfied we were we decided to try the Citrus Pavola - the only disappointing thing we had. This is a $$$$ restaurant so if you are wanting to try it, go for Happy Hour, only available at the bar. The entrance can be tricky to find as the building and the sign are black.

AH-MA-ZING! came here for a work dinner and it did not disappoint. service was superb. food was even more superb. we ordered a variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. you really can't go wrong with anything. I personally liked the steak (wagyu excelente 8oz) and the sweet potato pie (pastel de camote) and the secret garden mocktail. highly recommend for a date night or to impress clients. i'll definitely be back!

Hummus with pickled vegetables
Mallory P.

Comedor balances atmosphere and execution well. Valet parking is smooth and convenient, and inside the space is dark, moody, and energetic without feeling overdone. Service was confident and thoughtful. Our server guided us through the menu, and we followed their recommendations, ordering family-style across sections. Portions and pacing felt intentional and well judged. The hummus with pickled vegetables is layered and bright, with just enough acidity to keep it balanced. The bone marrow tacos are the standout. Rich, indulgent, and subtly sweet in a way that tempers the fat rather than overwhelming it. The half chicken is simply and expertly done, relying on solid technique instead of flash. Lively room, strong hospitality, and food that clearly knows what it is doing. Will definitely be back.

SPICY TUNA CRUDO
Brynn B.

Comedor is a very trendy upscale Mexican restaurant. The yellow fin and fish tacos were SO good. The ribeye was okay. . . There are certainly better steaks in atx- wasn't a huge fan of the mole with the steak. We sat at the bar. The drinks were good (strong!) and bartenders were funny and kind. I will be back here to dine again.

A tequila cocktail (I forget the name) that was exceptional!
Dave R.

My colleague and I visited Comedor in the Warehouse District of Austin on a business trip, drawn by the strong Yelp reviews. Absent those you reviews, we never would have found it -- the façade is nearly black, and so is the sign, so it's easy to miss -- but the experience is definitely worth seeking out! We sat at the bar and shared several apps tapas-style. I ordered a standout cocktail made with Añejo Tequila -- bold and balanced. We began with tortilla chips, queso and a selection of house salsas - truly authentic and well done. The Bone Marrow Tacos (quelites, smoked butter, pecan gremolata) were exceptional; we liked them so much we ordered another round. The Quesadilla (heirloom masa, mushrooms, quesillo, smoked Fresno salsa) was gourmet and memorable. Order two, they're modest in size. The atmosphere and service both felt elevated yet relaxed. Overall: Comedor is a hidden gem of upscale modern Mexican cuisine and a top-tier cocktail bar. I'm giving it 5 stars and plan to return whenever I visit Austin. It's that good.

This place was INCREDIBLE! We came here for our one year marriage anniversary and it did not disappoint. The aguachiles, bone marrow tacos and Milanese were all standout dishes. I also have to give a shoutout to the incredible banana ice cream dessert. Our server was so nice and helpful and the overall ambiance is really modern and open. A 10/10 experience all around!

Snapper tacos
Teri K.

Wonderful date night - service, food, ambience The first thing you notice about the restaurant is the low hum of talking (because everyone is enjoying the dishes!) My bf and I sat in a booth facing the dining room which made the experience feel a bit more theatrical. Started with the delicate lettuce salad - super tender and nicely balanced with the crunch of the masa croutons. generous portion is plenty for two people. Next, we tried the fish tacos, which were perfectly crisp and served with a refreshing salsa. The star of the show, of course were the bone marrow tacos. We could've easily eaten three more plates of these. The toasted pecan topping makes it filling. Again the homemade masa tortillas are what make the dish extra special. Extensive list of tequila, mescals and unique bottles like Raicilla. Definitely $$$ but worth it for a special night out. Service was very friendly and attentive.

I've driven by El Alma many times being in the Austin area, but I never went until last Thursday, and after surviving a brief monsoon, I was glad to get a few drinks and eat some good TexMex with my large party just before a wedding. The best way to describe El Alma is that it is TexMex that is Austinified. Everything feels a little more unique and special than your classic TexMex options. I started off with a Mezcal Margarita that put a little hair on my chest and got me going. My group ordered two of their Nachitos, which were these nice nachos. For my main entrée, I got 3 Al Pastor tacos on corn with a side of their rice and beans. Their pastor was served with pineapples, onions, and cilantro with limes on the side. They were great and I immediately crushed them all. I thought their rice and beans were pretty good as well and a step above the typical TexMex rice and beans. The server was pretty attentive throughout our whole visit, and I honestly have no complaints about what they had to offer. Pricing on the meal and drinks was pretty standard for Austin, and I didn't think anything really took me out of the experience. On top of that, for being in Barton Springs, there is quite a bit of parking. I would love to come back at some point in the future and hang out on their rooftop bar because that seems like a lot of fun. Shoutout to El Alma for being a TexMex oasis saving me from the MoPac traffic. RIYL: TexMex, but better than your average

I have not found a taco place that was phenomenal until I tried this place! The vibes take you back to Mexico with authentic tacos served simple, straight forward, and let the taco speak for itself! We were downtown for a concert at the Moody Theater and were hungry so we decided to walk a short 9 mins to Taqueria De Diez! The best decision made! Full disclosure... the establishment is located down a very DARK creepy alley (the kind in the movies where you shouldn't go down to get) but after overcoming that fear... this will be the best decision you make! Your tummy will thank you! Follow the outside "TACO here" sign. Go through the door and walk straight... this will get you through the line. Lucky for us on a Saturday night at 10:30pm there wasn't a super long line. We managed to grab two seats to chow down our tacos. You will be able to see the chefs cook the carne asada on the grill and the Al pastor on the spit roast being cut to be put in tacos. The smell was amazing and you know you're at a legit place! Ordering: -Check out their menu while waiting in line so you know what to order when it's your turn. -place order at register. They accept visa, Mastercard, Venmo, cash, but does NOT accept AMEX. - grab your drinks if you purchased some. Mexica soda, horchata, jimicama drinks, water , etc - give your ticket to the expeditor and tell them to go or dine there. The expeditor will ask you cilantro, onions, and salsa on a taco? Say yes. It's a must. The expeditor will tell the chefs to assemble your tacos. (I'm seriously so impress with how efficient and quick their service goes. We waited maybe 5-10 mins and got 5 tacos and chips/salsa. There was about 8 ppl in front of us but the lines go quick. If you ordered chips and salsa then you will get the chips from the cashier and the salsa from the expeditor. * 1 Al pastor taco on flour 4/5: love the fresh pineapples on it! The Al pastor had crispy pieces and was super tasty! It was really tasty. There were pieces of meat that was dry but the salsa helped and pineapple. Season was really good! I was in awed with how tasty it is! Definitely best Al pastor in ATXi had! * 1 Campechano on flour 5/5: wow best of both worlds! I had this taco second and loved the combo flavor! Juiciness of the carne asada and crispy frol the Al pastor. * carne asada on flour 5/5: juicy perfectly seasoned and love the green sauce on it! Sauce was creamy and paired well with the taco. It was so so freaking good! The flour tortilla is super thin and let the meats stand out. Loaded Smokey taco and was differently the best carne asada I've ever had! After trying the carne asada I definitely think it's better than Al pastor! I'm glad I tried the Al pastor taco first before the carne because I think the carne asada would have outshine the Al pastor if I had it first. It was a great end to the last taco! * 1 VOLCAN- couldn't try because it was sold out * chips and salsa 4/5: chips crispy and not oily. Salsa was super spicy but good. All tacos come with onions cilantro and salsa with no additional cost. Overall do I recommend this place? I truly wish I tried this place 5 yrs ago when I moved to ATX! I truly highly recommend this place! Do not wait 5 yrs to go try this place or you will be full of regrets! It's a simple taco but made right with complex balance and flavors! I love love love it and now will be thinking about these tacos! Highly recommended! Prices are reasonable and the tacos are made with love!

Twenty minutes later, we went back up to ask about the table and were actually told by the staff that they forgot about it. Finally a table was set for us and we sat down. We all ordered drinks and asked for water at this point. The water was brought, but we waited and waited for our drinks. After another 20 minutes and watching the bartenders (who were not busy this evening) make no moves to make our drinks, we got up and left. I have never had such an experience at a restaurant before.
