This place is the worse around, food was really bad, i order sopes and they were hard like if they were few days old, that and the flies everywhere plus the dirty salsa bar makes the experience unpleasant, the place has an old and outdated feel and look, i don't understand how this place has an "A" rating read more

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. read more

El Comal - Mexican Near Me - Nuevo, California

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. read more

Second time at El Comal, I stopped for lunch. I had the pupusas (squash & cheese) for an appetizer and it was great. Had the Salvadoran tamales for lunch they were fantastic and full of pork & veggies. The masa has good texture. Was not packed like my first visit. Everyone must have been on the road for Thanksgiving. Will make it a stop when I come to California. read more

Ordered a carne asada burrito to go, when I got home I was disappointed to find the meat burned to a crisp. Horrible burrito

Food is always great. I eat here often with it being ao close to home. I can't make orders over the phone thought due to the always being wrong read more

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! read more

El Comal - Camarones A La Diabla - Mexican Near Me - Nuevo, California

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. read more

The food wasn't that great, lacked flavor. The whole inside of the building smelled of bleach.

Best authentic Mexican dishes!! My husband and I come here weekly. We absolutely love their food. We get the huevos rancheros and their delicious. The huevos azteca are even better but we just gave up meat. Their plain tacos of asada are also yummy. Handmade tortillas on the weekends!! This is why we are here weekly to enjoy the food and the people. This is a family owned restaurant. The owners are great people. Their kids work here at times which I think it's a great way to teach them responsibility and work ethics. The kids are also good people. Their daughter is getting ready for college which is great to hear her excitement. Don't be turned off because it's not a fancy looking establishment. This place is clean and their food is great don't focus too much on the looks. On the weekend theirs a guy selling hats/caps. He is a retired jokey with a great story. He custom makes the embroidery on them. Stop and enjoy!! read more

Good food, good service, very clean and friendly. My chicken tacos were perfect and my son's beef burrito was also very good!

We walked in wanting to try authentic Mexican food however we got old food. The taquitos, chips, beans, and rice were not fresh. The food was over priced for the quality. I would not recommend this place unless you have no other option. read more

Now I don't know if it's because miss communication but it's happened both times Ives ordered over the phone. read more

I would recommend El Comal for good Mexican food. You can call ahead of time and your order is ready to pick up.

Food is delicious and fresh. Friendly service and fast too. A very relaxing atmosphere

Had breakfast this morning with the family. The Hubby and I ordered the chilaquiles verdes with chile verde meat and my son had a chicken quesadilla. While we waited we were given piping hot corn tortillas fresh off the comal! It reminded me of my great grandma's tortillas in Tijuana. Our meal was perfect and the salsa bar had something for every palate. We are definitely coming back! read more

I have been going here for over 15 years. Love the asada nachos and green salsa. Never had a bad meal and staff is family owned and very nice people. read more

I ate here once and am not inclined to return. The food was cold. I ordered Chili Verde and was disappointed. It was not room temperature, it was cold. I like hot food hot and this was just not even warm. My daughter ordered a chicken taco, it did not taste bad, it simply had no flavor. Chicken is pretty dry but this chicken was dry enough to choke on. The one upside was the homemade flour tortilla's those are amazing! If I were to go again it would be simply to order some tortilla's and take them home to use. Space is very limited and not handicap friendly. Walkers and wheel chairs cannot get through the doorways to get to the ordering counter. read more

I ordered carne asada plate. The meat was so dry. Flies all over. Dirty place. The high chairs for kids are so so so dirty. Waitress was wack bad customer service . My mom ordered chilaquiles they were not good at all. Won't ever go back. read more

Good food with great customer customer! Tried this place today and it was tasty. I'm not from this area but I'll be going back when I'm in Nuevo. read more

Gross as heck. Literally only gets business because nothing else is close. They don't listen when you tell them your order and over loading the amount you give doesn't compensate for lack of good seasoning or quality food. Tried to give them a chance and finally after 4th attempt I'd rather do Taco Bell. read more

Great food !!! Best service loved it !!! Fish taco super good with their home made tortillas
