Real New Mexican food. Cheese enchiladas come with pad sole and rice and beans. Choice of sopapia or tortilla. Would love to try their breakfast read more

Good service, but the food is definitely overrated. Lacked seasoning, and the chips were stale.

I had a day off due to the weather today and working here from outta town and was looking for somewhere to eat and came across this restaurant was skeptical but gave it a shoot to my surprise it was amazing the food to the service was an amazing meal id recommend this place for anyone. read more

This food in this restaurant is amazing! I usually make everything from scratch. This place actually makes their own food and in my experience enchiladas are amazing, sopapillas are delicious not greasy. Their green Chile sauce gives me happy thoughts. Doesn't look amazing from the outside, but worth the stop! read more

A real hidden gem. Lots of locals frequent here. Service is excellent. The chips were very fresh and salsa a nice kick We split the grande platter and took a lot with us. Definitely check out. read more

Not sure what has happened since I was there last June. Ordered crispy tacos and the shells were store bought and the chicken was dry with no flavor or sauce. Very disappointed. read more

The food here was SO good! Little hole-in-the-wall place, but very clean and comfy. Very good service. But the food is amazing. Simple, reasonable, fresh, and delicious. It was a tad spicy for me (though still yummy) but my spice-loving husband was in heaven! The sopapillas are pillow soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Can't wait to come back and try some other things! read more

El Comal - Ground beef stuffed sopapilla w/green chile. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Good food at a reasonable price. The spice was just right. The waitress was very nice and accommodating. I had the combination plate. The taco meat was dry but the taco was delicious. The red sauce and green sauce were both very good and I wish I had more of it. The tortillas were homemade and great. read more

The food was fantastic and the service was exceptional! The staff was very helpful and friendly and the enchiladas were possibly the best I've ever had. Great sopapillas too read more

Great New Mexican. I haven't tried the Salvadoran food but their red chile is great. Small and no frills. Great food, friendly service. This is a locals place read more

This restaurant is a quiet, unassuming, hidden gem in Santa Fe. It is a great place to eat! The staff is friendly and accommodating. The food is very good and also a good amount. My wife got the triple enchiladas and loved them. I got the tamale dinner and it was the real deal! You can't beat this place. read more

El Comal is small, casual and friendly. From the outside the restaurant looks like a dive. On the inside, however, it's warm and inviting. They have a nice selection of New Mexico favorites - from enchiladas to fajitas - all served with corn chips, salsa, beans, rice and posole. I enjoyed the blue corn (chicken) enchiladas ($11.95) which were well packed with tender chicken meat. The prices are higher than nearby Cafe Castro or Tortilla Flats, but then again, there seem to be ample tables and booths here, so there is no waiting to be seated. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here! I'm from California. The food here was different than what I'm used to and it was very yummy! Very friendly service as well! read more

I called to place a order for food with seven minutes left to still order and they said they were closed early instead of going above and beyond and saying that's OK. What will make your order and you can be here in five minutes. This is poor customer service and not keeping their hourly agreement. The woman was not just rude, but she was displaying poor conduct and hung up on us. Talk about a horrible restaurant. This is poor customer service and don't intend to ever purchase from them, and I intend to share it with thousands of people in the community through our social network. read more

We have eaten here several times and no one in our large party was ever disappointed. The food is delicious and all requests for changes to an order taken in stride and made (salsa on side, etc). The service is exceptional, friendly, and quick. Beverages are refilled quickly- before you even realize you are low. The clientele seems mostly local but also welcoming, just a little diner with great food. read more

Best chicken fajitas I ever had. Tasty and hardy portions. Sopapillas also were excellent. The place is nothing fancy. But is clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Kind of place that the locals eat. read more

Excellent food, including some of the best beans I've had! Would be 5 stars but the margarita was meh. I would definitely eat here again!

I love this place the ladies are so jovial, accommodating, and nice. The food is real Nuevo Mexicano, and the prices, WOW!!! read more

El Comal - Free chips and salsa, cheese enchiladas Christmas with a sopapilla.....$9.00. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Super tasty food just like your ex boyfriend's mom used to make! Very friendly staff and quick service too! I drive about 45 mins to get to this place and it's worth it! read more

Ate here with two kids after reading a good review. The place was pretty hard to find, but we eventually got there. Overall the food was pretty good. The chips were very crispy and the salsa was tasty, but pretty hot. I had the tamale plate, with both red and green chile and found it to be tasty. The green chile seems very fresh, and the red chile is hot (but not overwhelming). My older son liked his frito pie with green chile, but my younger son was less impressed with his burrito. The sopapillas were tasty and large. We spent about $30 for three people, which included a beer and three waters. The price tag would have been less without the (marginal) guacamole and the $1 extra for chile on the kids meal, which did not get eaten. Overall I would recommend this place if you are looking for a hearty meal away from the touristy areas, and you are not looking for fancy since this is a hole in the wall. read more

El Comal - Tamale Plate - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Yes! Pile on the flavor. What a hidden treasure in Santa Fe, NM. When I say hidden, you are going south on Cerrillos, you pass the OilStop/CarWash and you turn right before you hit the Hampton Inn. There is a small shopping mall, a little dated but boy you've found it. When you walk in, they give you the option to seat yourself, they have booths and tables, we sat against the wall on a table, about 7 of us. It was quick and friendly, ordered drinks immediately. I had a cold beer, they serve it in an ice cold mug. I ordered the shredded beef stuffed sopapilla, XMAS. I had to to try the best of both worlds and by a very close margin, I enjoyed the green chile a little more. Its plated with the usually rice and beans, and I don't think I left any on the plate! So delicious!. read more

El Comal - Smothered! - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We had been to El Comal a couple of years ago and remembered it for good food, friendly people and great service as well as the fact that it seemed under-appreciated. We had another very good meal in what seems like a very local place. It is not touristy and serves good Santa Fe style food without a lot of fanfare. It has not been busy when we have been there, hence my comment about being under-appreciated. This time I had Carne Adobada with red chile topped with eggs and accompanied by chiles torreados. This was all very good. They roasted the chiles very well. I could have used some beans and should have ordered some. Bro J had an order of good chiles rellenos and Ms T ordered her taco salad. It had tons of seasoned ground meat, almost too much, with a spring mix of greens, topped with avocado and tomato. She really enjoyed it. We asked for our sopapillas to be served ad desert and they are some of the best we have had anywhere. They are huge, fresh, hot, soft and tender. We all drenched them with honey and ate every bite. You probably won't find El Comal on everyone's Santa Fe list but it is on ours. Strong four stars for this homey little place. If I lived here it would be a regular stop for me. read more

Great little spot for lunch! We went after a visit to meow wolf, is was rated high on yelp and it certainly delivered. The place is unassuming in a small strip mall. Walked in and it was impeccably clean, service was attentive and efficient and the food was DELICIOUS! We even got food to go. Highly recommend a visit to this place. Your belly will be happy. read more

Amazing food & service. Had the Navajo Taco with red Chile on the side and we also had the tacos and they were delicious, hot, fresh, and authentic. read more

Fantastico! Large menu, great food & excellent customer service. The sangria & sopapillias are the bomb! Highly recommend!

One of my favorite places to eat in Santa Fe. Great food and customer service. Hot chili. Never disappointed

Great food, friendly and fast service. I'm looking forward to coming back for breakfast!

You could drive by 100 times and not know it's there. Glad I found it. Authentic Mexican food in the New Mexico style.

Food still good but they no longer have the Mariachi band playing. To bad it was a great addition. read more

As others have said, don't let the location fool you. Best New Mexican food I've had in Santa Fe and a must if you're here. The chile rellanos are huge and amazing, the chips and salsa are delicious (the salsa is spicy, which they proudly let you know before you dig in). Service was prompt and friendly. Prices online are not the same as at the restaurant but you won't be disappointed. read more

Was staying at the hotel next door and since it was rainy we decided to walk next door and give El Comal a try. First of all, service was polite, fast, and the food was really good! I had the vegetarian enchiladas which were topped with green chilies and traditional sides. It's not easy to find Mexican food for vegetarians! This was good down home Mexican cooking. Portion was generous and the chips and salsa were a nice touch, although the salsa needed some acid like lime juice to balance it out. Recommended. read more

El Comal is a hole in the wall with deliciousMexican/New Mexican breakfast fare. I love the huevos rancheros. Even though they are takeout only during the COVID19 (thank you Donald Trump) pandemic, the food was hot when we got home to eat and delicious. Great sopapillas! read more

Omg, this place is FABULOSA! Of the three hole-in-the-wall places we have eaten at (all reviewed on Yelp) here in Santa Fe, this place is the best. I had the vegetarian sopapia (I know I'm spelling that wrong) and my husband had the combination plate. Both of us loved our food and were full as ticks. As one reviewer noted, there was only one waitress working and she was doing her best to serve everyone promptly. She was very nice and apologized profusely for the wait. All in all, a great place to eat if you don't mind a place that us lacking in ambiance. read more

I was so surprised by how disappointing our meals were at El Comal. This is a very popular place and average wait time can be from 30 to 45 minutes. The restaurant is lovely with wonderful art hung in all the rooms. The wait staff were very accommodating. The problem was the food. The cheese in my enchiladas wasn't melted. The rest of my friends were also disappointed. My partner ordered the green chile stew and it came with only two pieces of meat. I cannot recommend this place to anyone. read more

Don't miss this place. New Mexican food at its best. Carne adovado enchiladas Christmas served with rice, beans, posole,tortilla chips and salsa and piping hotsopapillas . read more

Good food. Outstanding service. Very fair prices. I had a tamale plate ($9.95), which came with a HUGE (and good) sopapilla. 4.5 stars for the food. My only complaints are the small unisex bathroom is not the best - and the freebie chips were a bit stale. But otherwise the food is good enough to overcome all else. Merits return visits! Recommended. read more

El Comal - Tamale plate. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I love places like these! Awesome service, great food, good prices! This place is a cozy hole in the wall, and it's amazing! Great portions awesome, the tortillas are delicious and their red Chile did not disappoint! We're from El Paso and just passing through, but this place reminded me of home and could compete with the best of them! Definitely try it! read more

The service was excellent, the food was outstanding, and the best thing is I never have to wait 20 minutes to get a seat. I'm a native New Mexican, and the chile they use is as close to abuelitas as you can get. This is quite the hidden gem! read more

Every time we come to Santa Fe, this is a must stop for dinner. We love good Mexican food that's in the region. We've traveled extensively in Mexico, eating in the places the locals go. There's lots of different kinds, lots of different regional flavors. We don't mind hot, as the chilies add good and interesting flavors. Tonight we both had stuffed sopapillas with Adobado. It had wonderful chunks of seasoned pork inside, and we had the red sauce, which paired perfect with it! The beans were cooked well and lightly seasoned. If you like rice, it was very well cooked and seasoned. A bit of guacamole, lettuce, cheese, and it was a flavor delight! The plain sopapillas come with your meal so you can use it like you would a tortilla. If you want them after your meal, I'm sure they would accommodate you. So yum! They don't have a huge selection of red wine, but the Chianti went just fine. Lots of beer selections, though we are partial to the Negra Modelo since that's what we drink in Mexico. It's a "hole in the wall" kind of place in the middle of the strip mall, but it's clean, comfortable, the one server when we go (4:00-4:30) is very nice, polite, efficient, and is very patient. Other than not being fancy with decor, it's a real hit with us, and it seems with local folks also. read more

I was staying in the hotel next door and since it was snowing I didn't want to drive. The hotel clerk recommended this spot. It was good. They give you a lot of food for what you pay for. The enchilada was good with the green sauce and so were the rice and beans. The taco (ground beef) was a bit dry and the adoava meat in the mini tostada was good too. The sopaipilla was a bit greasy but eatable. The service was good since I was the only one there. read more
