My husband and I were referred to this restaurant. We finally made it tonight with friends. We all loved the food, drinks, chips, salsa and the service was the best ever! We all had a variety of dishes all excellent and the best Mexican food in Spokane for sure. We will definitely be back. The new owners have only been open for 6 months and we wish them much success. The only issues is the sign for the restaurant was not on at 5:00 pm ( I'm assuming time change issue) and the parking lot lights were not on at 6:30 and it was very very dark. Not so safe walking to your car. I hope the owners contact the appropriate people. read more

I've been going to this restaurant since 2014....we used to eat there at least once a month sometimes more. The past year we have noticed they have gone down hill....using cheaper ingredients. I wanted to give them one more try tonight and ordered the tamale dinner....it was horrible, they used tomato sauce instead of enchilada sauce to cover the tamales....My husband stopped eating there after receiving 3 bad dinners over the past year. El Comalon you have just lost another customer. read more

My daughter and I have gone to El Comalon monthly since 2021, but have been eating there since 2018. The food is fresh, delicious and the staff is the friendliest you're going to come across. read more

Rice and Beans were good. The meat flavors were off!! The salsa was a strong tomato sauce/paste base, was okay. Their food was the most different tasting Mexican that I'd ever had and don't want to eat experience again. Did not take any leftovers home! read more

I was craving for fish taco when I was on my way home from work. I saw this restaurant along Airway Heights and stopped by here. I ordered Seafood taco with fish; Honestly it's the bomb, very delicious, cooked to perfection. The service is great, quick. I like the ambience, the background music makes you dance while you eat. I love everything about this place. read more

Took a chance on our way home from the lake. I was skeptical because of some reviews I read. Not sure what those other Yelpers were talking about but the food here is freaking amazing. The flavor of the picadillo and chile Colorado was amazing. Coke tasted like true Mexican coke. I had flautas and they were perfectly cooked. Hot, not greasy and packed full of meat and flavor. It took us over 5 years to finally find some good Mexican food that tastes like home. My only complaint is it's not closer to where I live. read more

Food was good service good I would recommend friends to go. Friendly place to bring friends to

This restaurant is fairly well hidden not far from Walmart. We arrived for lunch on Sunday just after it opened. They were ready to serve us and our food arrived quickly. As we were here early the whole restaurant was very quiet. I had my usual burrito and we also ordered three taco salads. All the food tasted good. The chips and salsa were fresh and also quite tasty. Although I ordered chicken, my burrito was filled with hamburger. Not a major problem as I had already eaten half the burrito before I realized their mistake. This restaurant should be given an opportunity to prove its worth. read more

Skipping breakfast and going directly to lunch? Want a place that opens earlier than most? This is the place. No waiting around until 11 if you are desperate for chips/salsa and some Mexican food, as this place opens its doors at 10:30 a.m. Located in Airway Heights, there's plenty of parking and plenty of tables inside. There is also a lunch menu, but I ordered off the regular menu for the tostado (ground beef). Not my usual go-to Mexican meal of pork burrito, but it was early. Solid guacamole and good flavors all around. Depending on how hungry you are, you should be filled up on whatever you order as portions are generous. Salsa and chips come complimentary and were placed on our table lightening fast. The cabbage salsa is a tad dry for my tastes, but mixing the two salsas together resulted in close to perfection. I did like the wall art and the interior décor, but I thought the prices were a little high on the lunch menu. read more

This was my first time here ever, I really enjoyed it and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the Three Enchiladas Combo and I got full and their salsa tasted very good with their chips. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to return and try more of the menu items they have but if you're in the Airway Heights Area hit up the restaurant and try it out. read more

Coldest plates and dinners on the planet. Easy to fix? Then why don't they? Not only that, but the waitress was "new" and struggling to handle all the guests. Ate my entire dinner without salsa. Never got my Chili Relleno. read more

I didn't think it was possible to screw up Mexican food. When the sever brought our food she warned, "Hot plate!" She should have also warned, "Cold food!" I had the Comalon combination. While the presentation of the items on a large round platter was appealing the food barely broke room temperature. Quite disappointing! I won't be back. This place makes Taco Bell look like an upscale Mexican restaurant! read more

The food and the service are good. I enjoyed their smoothie with my meal!. It is close to Walmart and near shopping so makes a nice stop after shopping for lunch. read more

Great, authentic, Mexican food! The staff is very kind, the restaurant is clean, the bathroom is clean, and most importantly, the food is fresh, hot, and at the table QUICKLY! After being seated, like all Mexican restaurants, I was given fresh salsa & hot chips, BUT ALSO a pico de gallo mix. Many restaurants charge for pico. read more

We stopped by this place to eat and it was absolutely horrible. The dishes are not clean and the food tastes so bad. The silverware has white goo on it looks so nasty. The food looks appetizing but is not what it looks like. The steak tastes like it was boiled and then briefly grilled to add the lines. The tacos are disgusting too, the shells aren't cooked and the cheese isn't baked and everything is cold. The chicken is half warm and cold. Not coming back. read more

First time here at this restuarant. Food was very very good. Will come back again. Best Mexican good inhave had in a very long while read more

This is a great little Mexican gem out in Airway Heights. Inside is very clean and cozy with nicely painted murals on the walls. Seating is not super fancy but very comfortable. The servers are all very friendly and welcoming. Like friends. The food is very good, with decent sized portions for a reasonable price. Just a warning in the chips and salsa. The veggie and spice mix they bring out with the salsa will REALLY kick up the heat a notch if you mix it all together. It is good, but it is definitely a slow burn in the making. My personal favorite entree thus far is the Chili Colorado, with a very tasty red sauce and super tender beef. One final note. Any military (past or present) with a valid form of ID get 10% off their entree, so that is nice. I have been to a lot of Mexican places (including Mexico itself 3 times) and I would definitely say this is one of the better spots I have ever been to. If you like Mexican this place is worth the drice to find read more

I'm not sure where the people that gave this place any more than two stars are eating their Mexican food at. This restaurant was terrible. I had a taco salad with ground beef and it looked like a plate of broken dreams topped with a scoop of sadness. I kindly sent it back and the lady seemed peeved about it. Chips were nothing to write home about either. Save your money. read more

Service was prompt. Our order was taken very quickly. The chips brought out to us were alright. After we ordered, service slowed way down. Refills on chips took forever. However, once we got our food, we were pleasantly surprised on how good the food looked and tasted. I got the asada burrito, my girlfriend got the carne asada. They both were delicious! The carne asada was seasoned beautifully! My only gripe was with the service after we ordered. When we asked for more chips, I had to go inside (we ate outside) to get them. read more

Had cheese enchiladas here about four weeks ago. They were "okay". Steered away from that part of their menu and ordered chicken flautas. What I got was a to go box with two chicken enchiladas cut in quarters with cheese melted on top!! When a Restaurant cannot execute their posted menu, they need to either change the menu to what they can execute or close the dang place! Never going here again!! read more

Happened upon this place on my way out of Spokane. The food was amazing! The portions were huge. The waitress was extremely helpful with recommendations. All four in our party order a different item off the menu and each was delicious. The Enchiladas Colorado were a hit. The food is so good and unique. Not what you would from a Mexican restaurant in a strip mall. What a happy accident! I drive through this area several times per year and this is going to be my new stop. My kids even got dessert, which they rarely want to do. read more

Always impressed by the courteous staff, how clean the restaurant is and the absolute awesome taste of the food and drinks. Our favorite! The pica de galo! read more

Although a 10% military discount, the food was not Mexican style more common in Southern states adjacent to Mexico. They also are not amenable to substitute. Tacos al Carbon tortillas were greasy and the super hot plates made it difficult to pick them up to eat. The kids taco with ground beef was greasy and the taco shell appeared store bought and broken. It would be nice to have a taco cheese enchilada combo rather than having a beef or chicken based on your taco. Margarita pitcher was good and on can easily fill 6 glasses, not the four as told. Sadly, will probably not return. read more

So when they first opened we ate here a few times and we were less than impressed... so we didn't try them again for a long time... Then we met some friends here about 18 months ago... dreading the meal... and it was fantastic!!! This little joint is family owned, very well decorated in hispanic decor, and offers a full bar. Since we re-discovered El Comalon, we have probably eaten here 20 times in the last year. Nachos, Toquitos, Quesadillas, Enchiladas, all delicious! Their steak fajitas is a favorite of mine, as well as the Pollo a la creme. Warning::: Their drinks from the bar are delicious, and poured very well! read more

Very much grandma gringo. Impressive things were: the nice china ware for our meal, great plating for their entrees, and plenty of free parking. That's about it. Their product was....okay. This is one where the plates pass the eye test, but the food doesn't pass the taste test. Chips and salsa were FSA mundane. Complimentary slaw was lacking seasoning, and the portion wouldn't have satisfied my goldfish. Yeah, I could have asked for more, but why bother when we didn't care for it? Everything needed the weak salsa to bolster the flavor, and the rice's texture was day-old. Layout of interior was weird, too. It didn't give you a sense of being around people, for lack of a better way of putting it. We went at lunch, and it just seemed....dark. Glad to see they have the hard stuff, but their pour was pretty weak, compared to other Mex joints I've enjoyed. Biggest laugh came from the corn flakes on our Fried Ice Cream. They tasted like they were processed during the Truman administration. Our server had to work the whole dining area, was pleasant enough, and will get a pass from me for not being Mrs. Sunshine while she was hustling. That's all I've got for ya. It's a Mex joint in strip mall by a Walmart. Two stars for the experience is justified in my opinion... read more

Greated quickly when we walked in and sat right away. I had the Arroz pollo and hubby had some kind of combo I forgot to ask which one. My Arroz had a lot of veggies and the tortillas were good. Hubby got an huckleberry smoothie he said it was delicious. Over all tasty food and service!! read more

Food is good and quick. The service is subpar. I have a family of five and we received our food in about 20 minutes. We arrived at about 1040AM and we were the first customers at the restaurant. By the time we left there were two other customers eating as well. Seating is nice, not to crowded and there are tables outside to eat (unfortunately we were never offered this opportunity.) So, when we ordered my youngest son received chicken nuggets instead of a cheese burger (the waitress did fix this) Also, the waitress told my eldest son the wings were not spicy. When we got them they were covered in buffalo sauce (obviously spicy.) Also not one time did the waitress check on us to make sure we were okay. Never received any refills or offered any which is a bummer because I sure could have used another tea. It was just sad because this restaurant was not busy at all. I would hate to see how it is if they were busy. read more

My husband and I were hungry and decided to try here. My husband is very picky about Mexican food. Little skeptical after reviews posted.

After 5 hours of non-stop driving, my butt became flat, and my lower back ached. The worst of all was that I was hungry. My boyfriend had to find a place to eat quickly so that I wouldn't go into a hangry (hungry+ angry) rage. El Comalon was empty when we arrived. We were seated right away. We loved their complimentary salsas. They had a great flavour and a bit of kick. Everything, unfortunately except for the food, was great. :-( I've come to accept cheddar cheese at Mexican restaurants, but nacho cheese on enchiladas? Really? Their vegetarian burrito was more like a bean and rice burrito with some lettuce sprinkled all over it. (How about some grilled vegetables inside?) Spanish rice was WAY too salty. We didn't finish everything, but I still had to guzzle down many glasses of water. We know better not to be starving next time when we are in the area. read more

Tex-Mex says another review? Remind me not to go to Texas again...that review sounds like a paid infomercial. First the bench seats were about the most uncomfortable in years, super upright. The food was about the same as most run of the mill mexican joints, with the exception their chef is obviously a chain smoker...too much salt!! All 3 of us said the exact same thing about our 3 unique orders. Too salty! The waiter had the personality of a constipated turtle and got at one order wrong and then screwed up two things on the bill. If I have to grab a quick mexi-bit in Airway Heights I "might" go back for a second try, but it won't be destination dining, that's for sure. read more
