Very clean establishment. Authentic good food. Very friendly service. Extremely reasonable price. Will definitely come back.

Pastor torta

Amazing food and service. Hole in the wall feel. Most authentic Mexican food I've had in St Louis.

The special with asada was on point.

Most authentic and delicious Mexican food I've had in years. Clean and delicious! Can't wait to come back.

Asada burrito
Jeremy C.

This one is tough for me since I am the first reviewer and I want this place to do well, but a few things fell short with the first being the price, and because your near the airport you can't have in-airport pricing. $14 dollars for the burrito pictured is too high IMO. Moving onto the burrito, the provided salsas were delicious, the asada was underwhelming and lacked flavor and crispiness expected in a well prepared carne asada. Additionally, there was very little steak with majority of the burrito being beans and rice with the ratio off IMO. In a 14 dollar asada burrito there better be some meat, some in each bite. On to the service, it was outstanding. Menu arrived quickly as well as the ordered water, followed by the burrito about 10 minutes later, brought initially with only red, I was offered green and it was brought immediately back. Overall, I will give it another chance because it opens early at 6am and has more than Mexican fare and is extremely close to the airport. The restaurant is spotless, just hope they will pay attention to what I consider is important. I have often stated that yelp really needs 1/2 stars because I believe this currently sits at a 3.5 stars, but prices are a little out of line if I was wanting to stop in for lunch. $18 for a burrito with water and tip is high!

Huarache Mixta y Carne Asada (atrás)

Very kind owners. Great cooking. Definitely swing by if at Flight Safety! Yummy tamarindo drink, too!

If you're the kind of person who judges a restaurant by whether it's full of locals, El Comal is…read moreyour place. From the outside, it's unassuming. Inside, it's simple, comfortable, and exactly what you hope for when you're searching for an authentic hidden gem. No gimmicks. No over-designed decor. Just the hum of conversation, plates coming out of the kitchen, and a dining room filled with people who clearly know they've found a place to break bread. Er-- tortillas. I ordered the Pollo a la Plancha, and it was outstanding. Grilled chicken served with perfectly seasoned vegetables, fluffy and flavorful Mexican rice, and warm corn tortillas. I asked them to hold the melted cheese (because dairy and I are currently in a complicated relationship), and it was still one of the best gluten-free meals I've had in a long time. Fresh, satisfying, and packed with flavor. My husband ordered the Norteño tacos, which arrived piled high with toppings and absolutely loaded with flavor. And yes, they come with fries. I had never seen this combination before, but I can confirm it is life-changing. He enjoyed every bite. Before the main meal even arrived, we were hooked by the complimentary chips, salsa, and a bright green crema that came with a serious kick. Spicy enough to get your attention, but so good you keep going back for more. This is the kind of restaurant you almost don't want to tell people about because it feels like a secret. But places this good deserve to be celebrated. Authentic food, generous portions, warm service, and the unmistakable feeling that you've stumbled onto something special. Five stars without hesitation.

The food was delicious! I ordered Quesabirrias. The meat was tender and sauce was delicious…read more They have delicious margaritas too. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.

Great sign to us that people love coming here. We ordered the chicken flautas, shrimp tacos, a barbacoa taco, elote in a cup, and a strawberry Agua fresca. The food was wonderful! My favorite was the chicken flautas. They were very crisp but the chicken inside was so moist. The toppings and the salsa was a wonderful addition. They really need to bottle and sell that salsa. It was some of the best we've had. I'm a non beef eater but my husband said the barbacoa was . He said it was hard to determine his favorite between that and the flautas but if he had to choose it's the barbacoa because it was juicy and very flavorful. It also held together well in the corn tortillas. He wished he ordered more than one. The strawberry Agua fresca was very tasty. It reminded me of a strawberry milkshake. The portions are so plentiful and the menu has so many choices. We are looking forward to trying new things. We were so full we didn't get to try desserts, as it is a Paleteria, but we will most definitely be back!
