Beef Chimichanga good, but just straight up ground beef with minimal flair. Enjoyed Shrimp Chimichanga more since it was creamier & texture interrupted by chunky shrimp & bell pepper. What blew me away was menu item I generally have no use for- Tortilla soup. (Not a fan of soggy chips floating in broth). This was fantastic! Flavorful broth with diced tomato, a ball of soft, creamy, cheese, a sunken bed of rice, & fried tortilla strips that were soft but still had texture. Everything here is just a bit muted. You won't find strong flavors or lots of heat (the locals would never go for it) but food has fresh, homemade, simplicity that scratches the itch. Fried ice cream is a nice finish. Wait staff is young family that takes pride in delivering food to your table. A happy addition to the zip code & maybe the only Latin food for miles.

As native Texans, we are always game for Mexican themed fare, and Comalli Taqueria didn't disappoint!!! The menu is interesting and fresh, and the choices are plentiful - good for all tastes and preferences! They also offer a great take on queso - or as they label it, K-So! And their sauces are on point! The tacos are of the "street taco" varietal, so it's good to order at least two to three. Our server was very helpful and friendly, and she made great suggestions on what to try! And the restaurant itself is very lively with a fun vibe! Definitely worth a try, and we will definitely be returning to try more of the menu!!!

My husband searched exclusively for a Puerto Rican restaurant and thought this was authenticly true…read morePuerto Rican food. I could tell right away as I walked in that this wasn't going to be good. The place looks run down but it may be because it needs a deep cleaning from ceiling to floors. But that didn't take my appetite out as much as seeing a dead fly in between the stewed yuccas!!! Hubby wanted to get his Puerto Rican fix so we ordered alcapurrias both the plantain and cassava, as stated on their menu. At the first bite I could tell that the stuffing wasn't beef. I told Hubble, "this isn't beef"! He gives me his and again I looked and I tell him it's pork not beef. (I'm allergic to pork) at this point he's annoyed at me and grabbed both alcapurrias and goes to ask. I was right! The owner says they're pork! I'm grateful I have a sixth sense to my allergies and it's kept me from a reaction but this was a close one! Their menu states beef and true puertrican alcapurrias are only made with beef. Naturally, my husband was very upset, that there was no signage to what was pork or beef. To calm my husband down the owner apologized and offered a chicken empanada and a canu which is a sweet plantain canoe filled with beef, sauce, and cheese except they don't make them with sauce and cheese. Instead it had peppers and potatoes. It certainly wasnt at all like what we are used to eating in Puerto Rico. None of it was Puerto Rican. We also tried the chicken empanada and this was a bomb to my stomach. The chicken had gone bad!!! My husband got to spit it out but I wasn't so fortunate. I payed for it later that night and into the next morning. Hubby also had tried the bacalaitos and the dried fish wasn't soaked enough because it was extremely salty. Inedible! He ordered a chicken chuso also inedible, the texture of the chicken was that of old recooked chicken, not fresh. He had made to order empanadas with beef and cheese and the cheese tasted like when you vomit milk.....so damn gross. We only complained about getting the pork due to my allergy but didn't go back to let him know the chicken was rotten nor about all the rest of the food. We dumped it all out and won't ever step foot in there. My advice to the owner, get a professional cleaner to sanitize all the counter, walls, floors, purchase lids for foods in trays and check for flies! Hire a true puertorican consultan chef to teach you the right sazőn! Yeah, because Chef Ramses would be disgusted! Service was quick, parking was on lot beside restaurant and the restroom also needs a top to bottom cleaning.

We had a special occasion to celebrate, so I reached out to Casa De Empanadas to inquire about their catering menu. I hadn't realized they were closed for Memorial Day, and I figured we'd have to make other plans. To my surprise, they didn't just respond--they went above and beyond. Even though they were closed, they asked what I needed and made arrangements so I could pick up the food on Memorial Day. And the food? Absolutely delicious. The empanadas were perfectly crisp and packed with meat, and the Spanish rice was just the comfort food we were hoping for. It made our celebration feel even more special. Casa De Empanadas isn't just about great food--they showed me it's about people who care. I can't recommend them enough. 5 Stars - A small town gem with heartfelt service!
