Make sure to come during the week before 3 pm to get the lunch specials, they are a fantastic deal.

We are very easy going and generous when we eat out. We were treated as if we were disposable. Our drinks arrived after we waited almost 25 minutes- and the restaurant was EMPTY, and only after we inquired as to whether or not they were coming. The meal arrived warm, not hot. Not anything to write home about. The server did not come back to see if things were okay- and we did hear her enjoying a conversation with someone over at the bar. Overall, get takeout or find a better place. I'm not sure I would trust the integrity of my food after this experience. By he way, we topped 20% because we feel that no matter the situation, people need to earn a living. We will not be back, however. read more

Food was great! Service terrible. Great enchiladas and burritos. Ordered 1 margarita when we ordered our dinners and it never came. Asked the waitresses and it still did not come. Asked another waitress after our food came. Finished our meal and said we no longer wanted it but would like dessert. Another woman came maybe a manager, and said it was ready would we like it to go? We said no. She was angry and told the waitress to get our check. So I guess dessert was not an option. We were polite the entire time. Very disappointed and frustrated. read more

Came to El Comalito after visiting Hampshire College and was very excited to see they have pupusas. Ordered the Al Pastor Sopes and Pupusas Revueltas and I really enjoyed both. The Sopes were nice and crispy, the Al Pastor was amazing, the spicy sauce was amazing, the pupusas tasted so good and the curtido morado was my favorite part. The staff were really nice and helpful and the place was very cute and cozy inside! Don't believe the wack ass white people hating on this place who say they're experts on tacos or pupusas cause they don't know jack. Would recommend it to anybody close or far! Will definitely come back when I visit again. read more

Great place. Great tacos and burritos. Great service. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Took a friend out for lunch - she said her pulled chicken enchiladas were good (and even took her leftovers home), however... My pork carnitas tacos may have been the worst I've ever had, and I have eaten a *lot* of tacos. Tough, gray chunks of (what I suspected to be) microwaved meat, no seasoning or flavor at all, with huge white fatty chunks throughout. Very very poor quality meat. I tried a bite just to be sure, and almost gagged. That bad. I'm sure they have some decent food, but I will not be returning. read more

Went for the first time. Started is with the tortilla chips and salsa. Both were very good. Carne asada enchiladas were very very good. The pupusa was very tasty. Sounds funny, but someone at our table got a quesadilla. Was by far the best. Quesadilla we ever had. The cheese they use was amazing. The service from the waitresses was very fast and efficient. Will definitely be going out of our way to go back. read more

Inside was so clean nothing on the floor no dirty tables and bathroom was clean Waiter was nice and attentive Food was DELICIOUS read more

Yummy food and the staff are always friendly. The mix of Mexican and el Salvadoran food is such a good combo. One of my favorites places!

Love the food, which is consistently good. The chicken mole and chicken fajitas especially.

Very disappointed. We noticed a sudden change in the size of the burritos. I ordered a rice and bean burrito and received an enchilada wrapped in aluminum foil for $10. We're done with this place. read more

We've driven past probably a thousand times. Each time saying "we need to go there." Well we finally did and it was excellent! We were a larger party (7) but they had no problem putting a table together for us quickly. Service was prompt and pleasant. The menu is extensive. I love the mix of Mexican and Salvadoran food! Drinks were delightful and we had a solid mix of them at the table. Hubs ordered a chicken bacon ranch burrito and when it came out, the size rivaled a small human. Couldn't believe how big it was! He said it was everything he hoped it would be which is high praise from him. I went a bit more traditional with chicken enchiladas covered in the Chipotle hot sauce. I can confirm it was hot but absolutely delicious and not over powering. I ordered a side of the green hot sauce listed on the menu as their hottest. It came out warmed up which I wasn't expecting. It also was delicious! Again not over powering heat but incredible flavor. I wish I could make hot sauce like this! I took my extra sauce home and can't wait to put it on everything. Enchiladas themselves were spot on. 10/10 would order again. I did try the hot sauce that comes with the birria tacos that a friend of ours ordered. To me, THAT was the hottest sauce of all. High heat and a lot of chili flavor. It made me sweat so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. Really looking forward to coming back! read more

When they first opened, this location was OK, but now they are literally serving empanadas that are 1 1/2 tablespoons of filling and about 2 inches long and they are charging almost $4 per empanada. The flavors inside of the empanada are not as good as it as they used to be and you can't even appreciate them because of the tiny amount and the ratio of dough to filling. Huge disappointment and waste of money. read more

El Comalito - Bad tiny empanada that is mostly crust - Salvadoran Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Really enjoyed this place! Good food. Ceviche was divine! Carne Asada was delicious! Didn't know it existed till today. A wonderful find. Authentic. The service was good even though they were understaffed. She worked her ass off! We will definitely be back. read more

The food is authentic and great. This place has so much potential. The lighting is so harsh. If they would simply dim the lights, maybe add candles to the tables, it would be a whole different vibe. I bet a lot more people would come in if the ambiance was as good as the food! El Camalito, please consider changing the lighting! Service is always good. read more

My boyfriend and I love El Comalito. Have been here a couple times and we love their margaritas!! For food we love their enchiladas rojas and fried sweet plantains. This place is a must try!! The staff is very nice and attentive as well. read more

El Comalito - Jalapeño margarita and passion fruit - Salvadoran Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Easthampton previously had one very mediocre Mexican restaurant in town. That is now gone and several new places are opening, this Salvadoran/Mexican restaurant being the first. I honestly don't need another. Yes, the first week had some service growing pains. When a new restaurant opens in Easthampton, it gets swarmed. Mistakes were made and service was very slow. But they recognized this and temporarily reduced their hours until they could handle the crowds. Our trip back tonight was a terrific experience all around. When we arrived, there were no tables so they seated us at the bar and let us order while we waited for a table. The bartender took our orders and made us some fantastic mojitos. We would have been fine staying at the bar but we went to a table when one opened up. Service was prompt and accurate. Having eaten at their Amherst location before, the food is exactly what I was expecting which is all delicious. The only reason we didn't go to that location more often was the location; it just wasn't super convenient for us here in Easthampton. But now they are so close and I expect we'll be eating there or stopping in for a drink at the bar way more often. Welcome to Easthampton! read more

El Comalito - Mojito! - Salvadoran Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

Chicken enchiladas with chipotle sauce! Wow! Ton of food, good price, good service. Love this place read more

El Comalito is solid. I live out of town and almost every time I come back to visit we get takeout from here. The customer service is great, never have a wrong order or long wait. The food is delicious and fresh and so good. Highly recommend! read more

The absolute best papusa , tacos and burritos in the area. The food never disappoints. Dining in is spacious and service is always great. Take out is efficient and then you can go home and loosen your pants to eat more. (You do that too, right?) Whether dining in or taking it to indulge at home the staff is incredibly polite and welcoming. If you haven't tried El Comalito yet, you should. I can assure you that you'll enjoy it. Oh and if you've never had papusa- you're missing out!!! Cheesy deliciousness cooked by (who I imagine to be) a delightful abuela who creates each one with the love in her heart and her two hard working hands. read more

Enjoyed a nice lunch from El Comalito and was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was!! I will definitely tell my friends and family about this place!! read more

This food is absolutely delicious! All ingredients taste fresh and everything was very flavorful. I recommend the refried beans. my plate came out quick, the check was light, and the waiter was real nice. this place is very good. read more

Not sure where these great reviews are coming from-- went last night (a Saturday) and the service issues were absolutely horrific. They haven't been open very long, granted. But this was worse than just "we haven't been open very long" kinks. We were told there would be a 45 minute wait, so I went to get a margarita at the bar. Waited 30 minutes to get that margarita even though it wasn't packed in that section because the bartender makes one drink at a time, as the person orders it, then rings up a ticket, takes the payment, runs card/makes change, then moves on to the next person. Zero training. All made worse because he shoots the shit with the seated bar patrons while everyone else is standing around waiting. When I did finally get it, it was undrinkable--a glass of diabetes. Worst marg I've had in a long time. We finally were seated (the hostess was lovely). No one came around for 15 minutes, even though other tables were getting service. Finally flagged someone down who took our order. Chips and salsa came and we were told the guacamole would be coming in a few. Then we waited. And waited. Flagged our waiter down again (he never checked on us and never brought the guacamole), and he explained that our table was actually covered by the bartender. The same inefficient crap bartender that served me the sugar rush margarita. Great. Oh and no guacamole would be coming he said. A bus boy brought our food and we never saw another server after that. Had to wave someone down for the check. The food came and it was just okay. Rice and beans flavorless. Good pico de Gallo. A stellar pork tamale. I got the Salvadoran chicken plate which was decent. Came with what looked like commercial tortillas, a bit disappointing. Husband got cheese enchiladas, nothing to write home about. The salsas were fine. If they fixed the service issues I might go back. But it was a horrible experience. A bunch of other tables complained to the hostess as well, we noticed. read more

Last month, went to this Easthampton restaurant for the first time. Loved the coconut horchata drink and el plato pobre dish! Plenty of food on the plate, worth the price. Plenty of parking too. We're definitely going there again. read more

not worth the $. I also asked to add something to the order and it was not I was still charged for it. Very disappointing, never going back

I had been to orig location in amherst so was a little familiar with the food - they seem to have a bunch of new stuff on menu but i just got a chicken burrito...they seem to have left out the guac i paid extra for, either that or it was just a very tiny amount? Also,they put hot sauce on side in a little plastic container which is kinda a thing for me, maybe it is for a reason but i like having it inside. I am kinda comparing to the other 2 well known places to get a burrito around here(not the chains),this one fell a bit short but was pretty good...maybe the specialty items on menu are more 'wow',they would have to be for me to go back a 3rd time. read more

Best birria tacos I've ever had! Fantastic tortas, nachos, and burritos. Good portions, very well made.

So..... thought I would give them a try. Had never had a pupusa, so I wanted to order one. On the menus they're listed 3 for $12, $4.00 each additional. The waiter told me that I must order a minimum of three, no exception. MANAGEMENT: I decided to leave because you won't sell me a single pupusa in addition to the chips and guacamole and the three tacos I was planning to order. Guess I'll stick with Riff's joint for dinner tonight. Womp womp el Comalito. I wanted to love you. read more

Our server Nelson was very friendly! Service was great and the food came very fast! I got the potato tacos Dorados and they were soo good. Big portions as well! read more

El Comalito - two plates of mexican food - Salvadoran Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

I like to go to a place when they first open and all is chaos. BUT, El Comalito has it together right out of the shoot. They are well staffed and well prepared for the onslaught of hunger natives looking for good Mexican food and they deliver. Reasonable prices and a nice atmosphere. The food is well executed if simple and basic. Another review complained of loud music but it was not the case tonight when I went for dinner. Just a lot of nice people serving good food. Carnitas tacos featured large chucks of tender port, not to salty and simply dressed with cilantro and onion. A side of tomatillo salsa to top. Corn chips were warm, crisp and fresh. I'll go back. read more

My wife and I tried this place out on their opening night. The food was very good and the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. My wife got the Chicken tinga burrito, and I ordered the chicken enchiladas with ranchero sauce. We were quite happy with both the quality of the food as well as portion size. Prices were also very reasonable. My one critique is that it was a little bit loud in the dining area. The music was turned up a bit too high, and the noise coming from other tables was a little intense. All in all, a really good experience and I will be back! read more

El Comalito - Chicken enchiladas - delicious! - Salvadoran Near Me - Easthampton, Massachusetts

We were pleasantly surprised at how great the food and service were at El Comalito. The service was quick and friendly, and from the kitchen to the waitstaff, you get a feeling that these are family members who are enjoying themselves - which already makes for a good experience. The drinks were exceptional (pina colada was crazy good!). The menu was refreshing as it wasn't the same cookie-cutter Mexican food, there was plenty of variety and interesting new dishes to try, that we'll explore on the next visit. The Mole sauce was perfect as well, not burnt, not too sweet - perfect. Pricing was good, not super cheap, but the food reflected that in its quality. Also not expensive as I don't recall anything on the menu over $16. Give this place a try, they seem to be working really hard to bring a good product and are super nice people. read more

We love this place. Very authentic. I would recommend their Papusas and Carne Asada tacos you will not be disappointed!

Glad this place opened a second location in Easthampton, great pupusas, love the spinach & garlic quesadillas, and delicious tacos

Friend was having car issues outside in the plaza .. the later it got the louder out stomachs got.. and that's when we saw the sign. There's a Mexican spot here?? Hell yeah! An answer to our prayers! Grabbed food to go (because of covid) Walking in was at the end of their night and I was pleasantly surprised to see them scrubbing their machines clean - not for covid purposes - but for sanitary reasons. Clean ovens usually mean clean food to me. People who care about how and what they serve to their customers. Already I was a fan. The man behind the counter who rang me out was very friendly and prompt. The food : We ordered quesadillas, tacos, and churros. All were good! Got Nutella with the churros highly recommend. read more

There are times I wish I did not like this place so much. Like one time when I went to San Miguel Mexico and I ate at a place that had the sounds and background you would imagine but not my Tinga burrito. Don't get me wrong, it's amazing and there was this one Salvadoran place that would give El Comalito a run for it's money but I did deeply wish for the food here when I was there a few times. It's a family owned place that really takes pride in there work. So the next time you are in the area and your friend suggests Taco Bell, kick them really hard in the balls and bring them here. read more

My husband just got back from picking up our order in the Easthampton location. I ordered a refried bean burrito....I got a burrito without ANY beans....just lettuce, rice and a little bit of pico del gallo. I just tried to call the restaurant and the message says their mailbox if full so I cannot leave a message. Unbelievable. I cannot imagine how this terrible place got good reviews. read more

We live within easy walking distance of downtown Easthampton, with all of its excellent dining options, and we still pile in the car to come here sometimes. They opened within the past year and had issues with service at first (they got swamped), so you should overlook some of the negative early reviews along those lines. These days the service is always good enough and usually excellent. The food is surprisingly good. We like the pork tacos, spinach enchiladas, fried sweet plantains, pupusas revueltas, and the margaritas. Don't overlook this strip mall gem! read more

Extremely friendly staff, the food was cooked to perfection and I love their margaritas. Especially on mondays and Tuesdays when its $6 a drink. I had a special connection with our waitress tonight (Erica) as I have visited Puerto Rico in the past and their PLATO POBRE brought me right back. I had a great piece of steak with my meal. Thank you for being such a great host aside from the delicious food it was filled with great conversations. read more

We've loved this place since it was a tiny establishment behind a gas station in Amherst. Saw them become a large restaurant and now a second location close to home... that's just icing on the cake! ALL their food is delicious and truly authentic. Their pupusas are worth the wait - these yummies are labor intensive and boy do their deliver. Their menu is varied and has great Mexican and Salvadoran dishes - all are a must try. PS - Their horchata is amazing - had 2 cups to myself this past weekend! read more
