Really impressive, especially for such a small place. The food was all perfect. The margaritas, made with agave wine instead of tequila are really tasty, more mellow than your standard overly-tart margarita. Really hope to come back. read more

Tried El Comal from other's reviews and we were not disappointed. I had the bean and beef stuffed sopapillas with green chili and it was delicious. My husband had chicken enchiladas he said were some of the best ever. The spicy salsa with chips was great as well as the sopapillas with honey for dessert. The portions are large, but we ate it all, then skipped dinner and breakfast the next day! You have it look for El Comal, in the back of a nondescript strip shopping center, but it's worth it. read more

The service was superb , the food was excellent and the staff were the friendliest that we have had on our trip so far. Great place!!!

Good, basic Mexican food. Very generous servings. We had the Chimichanga and three Enchiladas. Service was excellent. Unpretentious and good. read more

Casual southwest ambiance, friendly service staff, but web menu bears little resemblance to what the restaurant currently offers. For example, no catfish, no plates for 2 or 4. Maybe new owners? Expect better than standard Mexican fare at standard prices. read more

Wonderful food with great service and fair prices. Would definitely go back. We love spice, and I would say this was at the upper end of our tolerance spectrum. :-) Very enjoyable, and having the soap appear with honey as part of the meal was an added treat. read more

BEST Mexican food EVER!!!!! We had blue tortilla enchiladas and they were amazing! This place is amazing!

Excellent food, I am a critic and well outside Southern California don't really like Mexican. This place was very good little whole in the wall just beer and wine is the only flaw. Hope you like some spice though. I don't like giving fives read more

The hotel recommended El Comal. After reading the reviews we thought we would give it a try. Mom had the tamale plate with red Chile and I had the chicken enchiladas with green chile. Both of us thought the food was wonderful. The service was quick and our drinks never got low. If you judge the place by how small it looks from the outside you will definitely miss out! The sopapillas were huge and were delicious! read more

Hole in the wall yet roomy. Since I was a child (because I am not a cook) had not seen or tasted shrimp soup the way my grandma made. I found it here and it was delicious. A pupusa with bean and cheese was great!!! I definitely recommend this little restaurant. Obviously family owned! Thank you Yelp for helping me find this. read more

I've waited 8 years to get back to Santa Fe for some sopaipillas. This restaurant is next door to our hotel and the Yelp reviews were spot on. Nothing fancy to look at, but service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious. Vegetarian options for the kiddo, some outdoor seating and we all left stuffed and happy. Delish!!! read more

It was good but the place needs a face lift. The service is good.. The food is good, if you like spicy food you love it. There wasn't to many people there so it was quite. The build needs a good facelift kind of old . read more

It's is very loud and very dated furniture. The staff was very friendly and helpful I am pleased with there service. The food I got the chicken fajitas and a plane crisp taco.the taco was stale and the tortilla you get one was stale also. read more

Local restaurant across the street from the Hampton Inn where we stayed while in the area. The past reviews were true... no frills dining, friendly service, reasonably priced, located in a small strip mall, seemed to have local customers, and take out orders. Food was good. Could use a fly fan though, had to keep shooing away the little pest. We got a 2 item combo plate and chicken tostada. The sopapilla was delicious (included w the combo instead of tortillas). read more

Great food! Sopa's we're so light and delicious! Green chili was spicy on the enchiladas

Believe the hype! Best breakfast I've had in a long time. I got the Migas. Came with refried beans and pepitas. The potatoes were so good. Perfectly cooked. I've been to other breakfast places in Santa Fe and hate biting into a crunchy ass potato. Coffee was hot and fresh at 1:30pm I really appreciated that, had three cups! Server was friendly and attentive. Salsa was hot but couldn't stop eating it. I'm usually a green chile gal but the red was so good. Partner got pork chops and eggs, was a good breakfast. read more

El Comal is really good food and lovely people. And their tables are so clean you can eat off of them, which I realized today, after spilling some good stuff out of my burrito. Dang. LoL. read more

One of the great things about Santa Fe restaurants are these small, delicious,family cafes that serve up excellent food and margaritas. Tucked in a small strip mall-nothing remarkable from the outside- but inside every table was full- and the food was delicious! Nothing sophisticated here, just good food served fast. read more

Great hole in the wall spot! Cheap and massive drinks (sangria was not great but margarita was decent!) Plates are good, food is very filling and hearty! You can't go wrong with a burrito or entree plate. Menu is very extensive. Staff was nice and answered all of our questions. read more

Please don't walk away from this restaurant when you see the front entrance! Although a little worn, it had too many great Yelp reviews not to walk away. Came here for brunch, their menu has a few American meals from egg sandwiches/wraps/bagel with ham/sausage/bacon , pancakes, French toast or omelettes. The rest of the menu has a Santa Fe Mexican flare and variety with chorizo, Chile sauces, hatch green Chiles, carne asada, carne adovada, Chile Relleno omelettes and more. I got the Huevos Rancheras (over potatoes not tortillas) with red and green sauce - amazing, comes with beans and a sopaipilla (slightly fried, but light fluffy and tasty)! Hubs had the Migas, like Mexican scrambled eggs with goodies of tomatoes, onions, cheese, jalapeños) seasoned well and came with potatoes, beans and freshly made flour tortillas. Others had the Chile Relleno omelette, breakfast burritos, French toast (huge servings). Everything was fresh, home and delicious. Server was friendly and helpful. Great menu variety, watch for parking. read more

Our first morning in Santa Fe. Nice local place with quick friendly service. No frills place. Just good reliable basic new mex food.

Absolutely amazing New Mexican sit-down cuisine at this hole in the wall restaurant. They have fresh ingredients, cooked very well, in huge portions. I am a huge fan of their red chili, and sopapillas with honey. I will definitely return when I'm next in Santa Fe! read more

Took a recommendation from a local for authentic Mexican meal ... it was outstanding! Service was great & single gal was hopping to keep up with folks eating in and take-aways! Salsa with chips spicy. Husband's Triple enchiladas meal is huge - green chili sauce is hot-spicy ... cannot imagine the red! The soft shell chicken taco meal was a large portion too! Filled with white chunks of chicken; I got refried beans vs. whole, rice, and fixings. read more

Everything the other rave reviews say is true. Wonderful food. Very generous portions. Attentive service. So glad we found it.

Found this little gem here on Yelp and not disappointed. Little strip mall restaurant tucked away with great NM flavors. Outdoor seating is preferred, the flies are bothersome and the hanging fly traps are tacky but the food is good. Disappointed I didn't get rice or beans but I am stuffed after the meal. not 5 stars due to the fly traps, and missing rice and beans. Give this place a try its worth it!! read more

The food was okay, but the ambulance wasn't there for us. I highly recommend eating here if you have no where else to go, but we won't go here again. The next day we went to The Shed in the historic district of Santa Fe, the food was incredible and we paid about the same amount. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g60958-d1439851-Reviews-The_Shed-Santa_Fe_New_Mexico.html read more

Always a great meal! They're specials are off the menu so make sure to check them out on the dry erase board. I love the Mexican Burger. Service is awesome! Busy or not they all are always friendly. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican food. If you're in an RV go ahead and pull in as there's a huge turnaround parking area at the back of the strip center. I had chili rellenos and husband had the Mexican smothered hamburger. Both huge portions and we took half home. The red chili sauce is outstanding. Green is good but very mild. Loaded with green chilis. The soapapillas are delicious. read more

We wanted good food, friendly service and no frills. And this was it! We got into Santa Fe at 6 pm on a Saturday. I researched places along the way for a tasty, authentic Mexican family friendly dinner. We were greeted right away by a gentleman who told us to sit where ever. He came and took our drink order. Wow! The horchatas are ginormous! Our waitress was so sweet, friendly and came by to check on us but there wasn't a rush. And we were given salsa and chips to start. My husband ordered the combinación with green sauce. The tamale was spicy! But all was delicious. My son ordered the combinacion Christmas style (with green and red sauce). I ordered the chicken and guacamole enchiladas with a sopepilla. It was delicious. The rice and beans and hominy were all delicious. None of the food was overly salty or cheesy which was perfect. Both the red and green sauces had some heat. I didn't find the sauces overly spicy even the tamale I tried from my husband had a bit of heat. He found it to be incredibly spicy. I thought the salsa with the chips was spicier. My youngest son had the kids beef taco. He enjoyed it so much. Sopapillas and tortillas were so soft, and tasty. I loved drizzling honey on the sopapilla. We want good food and don't need it to be a fancy place. We were all happy and had full bellies. It's a smaller place but there were plenty of seats available. Check it out!! read more

My favorite so far. Everything was wonderful and the staff and service are top notch. You can tell it's family run, and albeit being in a strip mall and fairly unassuming, I would go there over most places. Mexican Coca Cola and seems like a local joint that services up great food. Also recommend the carne asada special if they have it. Fire read more

Don't let the modest outside of the building dissuade you. It's top notch food and service. Local's style secret.

What a hidden jem where the locals come for some amazing authentic southwestern Mexican American food. I have not seen Migas on the menu anywhere I have went so far. They are amazing especially adding meat to the dish (normally it's more of a vegetarian dish with eggs).The sopaipilla's are a must to have they are huge airy and very tasty. The tortillas are hand made too so you cannot go wrong! Small modest and cozy place that's been here for years. read more

Excellent food and lovely servers in a simple little spot. Both red and green chile were delicious.

Just ordered for pickup tonight- visiting from out of state and staying in a hotel just for tonight. Decided to order here because of all the great reviews- but was left very very disappointed. First- the menu is not very accurate to the prices or the amount of food you'll receive. For 18 dollars on our chicken fajita order we received enough meat and toppings for only 1 tortilla worth- which was perfect because they only gave us 1 tortilla. The process of getting this tortilla was painful, as they originally left it out of our order. We called them and the lady on the phone was very curt and unhelpful. We needed to get our missing tortilla and return another dish that was just awful (flour chicken tacos, they looked truly pitiful- I regret not taking any pictures- absolutely no seasoning and abysmally small portions), so we drove back and they only gave us 1 tortilla and a PARTIAL refund on the horrible tacos that were untouched. Also no apology for forgetting food. If you are dining in you might have more luck with the service and meals- but you will surely regret ordering to go. read more
