Very Friendly Family Ran Clean Restaurant! On the corner of Nuevo and Lakeview. I had Asada Street Tacos they use so much meat I had to use a spoon to eat the meat that fell out while I was eatting my taco. The seasoning was on point notoverdone, with the cilantro or onions. Meat was the main ingredient in the tacos. The salso they serve with the chips was so tastie I could of ate it with a spoon well I kind of did with the amount I put on my tacos. Not local to the area but will be sure to come back anytime I come this way!! Don't sleep on this place, you will thank me later.

Salsa station

I came here based on reviews. It is very small inside. It's a hole in the wall place and if you're coming here after sunset it's hard to see where to park because the parking lot is dark. If you pay with credit card they charge .50 cents. They also sell beer . Also big fat men driving big trucks park however TF they like blocking other parking spaces, I was getting threatening looks from one of them. As I'm waiting for my food a homeless person just came out of the bathroom with wet hair. Now for the food, I ordered the carne asada nachos, shredded beef burrito and 9 tacos; 3 asada, 3 chicken and 3 Al pastor. The nachos had a mystery meat that I was not able to chew, my son agreed with me. The shredded beef burrito was delicious according to my husband. The tacos were good but I've had better. I will not be coming back here.

Super Nachos
Johnathan U.

Visited El Comal for the first time today. Their whole menu looked amazing. I had the super nachos! A bed of chips, topped with beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and mouthwatering asada. This restaurant is definitely a hidden Gem! I can't wait to visit again to try some of their other dishes! Highly recommend paying them a visit when in town!

" They Worked Hard To Please Everyone " El Comal Mexican Restaurant in Nuevo, CA catered a 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration. The Event was at the Carrillo Ranch. Maria De Jesus, and Rolando arrived at the Ranch very early to start setting up the serving counter with Chips & Dip, 3 kinds of salsa, onions, cilantro, limes, beans, tortillas, rice, and the 12 hour slowly cooked in a pit by the Carrillo Ranch, tender shredded roast beef. Maria De Jesus and Rolando did a great job heating the fresh tortilla's and serving the plates of the Mexican food to the Wedding guests.

Camarones A La Diabla

Came here and ordered Camarones a la Diabla with a side of chiles toreados and they were delicious & spicy! For being in such a rural area, their food is very authentic and reasonably.

El Comal chips and salsa whats left before I could get a picture.

I really enjoyed breakfast here. I ordered their menudo sin grano, my husband ordered birria de chivo, and my son ordered the sopes, they bring out chips and salsa when you sit at the table both the waitress and waiter were very nice and kept checking to see if we needed anything I should have gotten their names, but they were both very attentive. The food isn't spicy but they bring a spicy oil chile that is bomb and you spice it up too your liking. The sopes were really good and filling and they make homemade corn tortillas in front of you and bring them to your table right of the flat top grill, even their horchata is made their. If your in the area it's a must try, the place is small but gets packed on the weekends and they social distance the tables.

Nothing like good authentic Mexican food with a Mexican Coke.

See all

I wanted to bring my wife somewhere new and surprise her.. and she loves Mexican so I thought…read more. let's try it! It was AMAZING. When you first drive up you kinda think ummm am I in the right place? Oh.. we were. We told Ellie it was our first time there and she was so excited!! She explained how the menu worked and what was good (everything is good) and made suggestions. She was so nice and friendly and welcoming. I ordered the carnitas chimichanga wet with green sauce. I think every bite I took I closed my eyes and swayed in my chair. The flavor was great! My wife ordered the chili verde omelet and she absolutely loved it. There was again.. so much flavor And we can't forget the chips and salsa that are served! They were hot and made fresh and my wife almost got full on those because they were so good! We will absolutely be back and will be bringing our family

This is a true mom & pop restaurant, serving superior authentic Mexican food and traditional…read moreAmerican breakfasts and burgers. Ambience is casual cantina, you're with family here. Sign your dollar bill, find a spot. The first weekend we tried to go, we could not fit into the parking lot. Ok that's a good sign, so we tried again another day. Another good sign - fresh hot chips & salsa out the gate. Our server Jocelyn was especially welcoming & hospitable. She seems to enjoy her job & took good care of us. The food- Chorizo & eggs excellent, Menudo FABULOUS because especially tasty broth and garnishes were well done. Also tried biscuits & gravy. My husband tries them everywhere we go " in search of" the best. The biscuit was fresh A+. Gravy great. It was year-end, tamales for sale by the dozen. We took home a dozen ( pork / chicken). We were pleased to receive a green and a red sauce, didn't expect that! At home, tried both types, with both sauces. We recommend their tamales for sure, especially pork with the red sauce.
