No margaritas (no liquor license) but they have beer. Big portions! They are not owned by the same Los Comales in Midtown, but I had the pollo adobe and it was just as good! read more

Really just not good Mexican food. Bland and dry. No guacamole with the fajita. Out of avocados was the response with a shrug. Asked for extra sour cream and they charged me for it. It's a cheap restaurant but still wasn't worth the money. read more

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Memphis. Love the Sopes de raja and my kids always order the cow tongue tacos. Service is sometimes slow but generally friendly. I tried the shrimp ceviche recently and it was delicious. You'll hear a lot more Spanish spoken than English which lets you know you came to the right place. read more

Probably one of the best Hispanic restaurant I've been to in a long time. This is my second visit and everything is as good as the first time. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. read more

Los Comales - Shrimp Chimichanga! - Mexican Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Los Comales is a REALLY good authentic Mexican joint with an enjoyable ethnic atmosphere, friendly and fast working wait staff, and reasonable pricing. If you want a pleasing authentic Mexican dinner and experience, this is your dive! SO many good dishes, my personal favorite being the cheese steak burrito. It's giant and smothered in white queso. Other MUST try's include the ribs and the shrimp cocktail. The sauces served with the chips and salsa are delicious too. I have seriously wanted to put the verde (green) sauce in my purse and take it home and drink it. So good and spicy yet cool all in one. You'll enjoy a laid back and casual dining experience with a cool crowd and entertaining people watching. Fútbol is usually on the screen, so the crowds there to watch the games can get delightfully lively. read more

Los Comales has been around for as while now and I have been going for a few years. Always have a good meal and the service is good. This is a little easier place to ease into the more authentic Mexican restaurants as most everyone working here speaks English well. They do have some authentic items and I really like the hongos gordita and the pork huaraches. read more

Los Comales - Los Comales - Mexican Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Last night, the boyfriend and I had planned on eating at another establishment but our plans were foiled by the fact that their menu proved different than expected. After a drive down Summer Ave., we spotted this place. Normally, we would've stopped at our favorite taco truck on the corner of Mendenhall and Summer to pick up some delicious tacos. However, we got a wild hair and decided to give this place a try. I quickly checked Yelp and the reviews look good, so why not? Upon entering, I saw that it was quite small and semi-bar-like but it was almost 9pm and I'd rather it be small and bar-like than chain-like. We were quickly seated. I'd wanted a margarita but they don't have liquor..so I settled for my backup of a Corona with a lime. Next, the typical tortilla chips, salsa container, and bowls were placed in front of us. The salsa served at a Mexican restaurant is usually a great reference point by which to judge the rest of the meal. And this salsa was phenomenal! Brightly colored, fresh cilantro, and chunks of onion. It even had a nice bit of heat...definitely not too spicy but at least you knew it was salsa and not tomato sauce with chunks of onion in it. Not the best I have ever had but definitely in the top 5. We came close to finishing the small jar placed before us. The menu was quite extensive but included some options that you normally don't find in a Mexican restaurant in Memphis...more ethnic than usual and that's a good sign as well. I usually go for Tacos de Pastor whenever available but seeing as I wasn't at a Taco truck, I thought I should go for something different. I ordered a Chimichanga de Camaron (Shrimp) that came with rice, beans, sour cream, and guacamole. The waitress was super nice and willing to trade my sour cream for extra guacamole without telling me there would be an upcharge or assuming that I wanted an entire side order of guacamole, as most places do. I also got a Taco de Pastor because I am on a mission to find the best one. The boyfriend ordered a Gordita de Pastor, a Taco de Pollo, and some other type of taco...truth be told I didn't listen when he ordered and he ate it before I could see what it was. When the food arrrived (didn't take too long but wasn't as fast as some places...we had time to eat chips and salsa and I appreciated that) the tacos came with a side of grilled onions and a mini-salad of radishes. I don't like radishes so I quickly pushed them aside. I added some of the grilled onions to my taco which already had a few raw ones and fresh cilantro on top, and quickly scarfed it down. It was really good. Not the best I've ever had but very good. I liked the addition of the grilled onions. The chimichanga was larger than at other places and the plate was presented nicely. The amount of guacamole on the mini guac-salad was impressive. If only it had tasted as good as it had looked. I added the lime from the boyfriend's corona (he doesn't add it to his beer and I find that weird) and some salt, thinking that would help. But no, it was still pretty tasteless. The chimichanga was topped with a small amount of white queso and looked delish. The outside part was yummy, but the shrimp weren't great. Nothing was inside the chimichanga but the shrimp...no beans, no onions, no peppers and unfortunately, I think they forgot to add any seasoning whatsoever to the shrimp before wrapping then up in the tortilla and frying it. It was very bland and they were slightly overcooked. It wasn't horrible, it just wasn't great. I tried a couple but nothing freaks me out more than seafood when I'm not sure about it's preparation. Maybe I'm just being picky but it needed some sort of flavor. The rice and beans were standard Mexican restaurant fare and I ate some of the beans. I'm not a fan of the rice at any Mexican restaurant, so I didn't try it. The boyfriend's Gordita looked good. It was a homemade dough, pressed flat and fried. Then, stuffed with Pastor (spicy pineappley pork) and cheese. He seemed to enjoy it. I asked for a bite and he obliged. It was good but again, not great. The pork this time seemed a little stringy. I might've been already freaked out by the shrimp and was just on high alert. He finished his Taco de Pollo (chicken), whatever the other taco was, and more than half of his Gordita. That's a good sign for him...he isn't a huge eater and that was more than normal. I also waited to feed him dinner until 9pm so I could have just starved the kid. The waitress was super friendly and quickly removed our plates when we were finished. The check was $33.35 and that included our 3 Coronas. We paid with cash but they did accept credit cards. I really wanted to love the place but for the price, my pjs, the tv, and tacos from the taco truck wouldve been much better. It is possible that l just picked the wrong menu item, so I am willing to give Los Comales another try. read more

Best authentic Mexican food around. Fajitas are the best. Fish tacos are outstanding. You can't go wrong here. This place puts all others to shame. read more

Los Comales - Los comales fajitas for two. $24.00. Absolutely wonderful - Mexican Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

My new favorite place! Food is fresh with authentic Mexican sazón. Just like my mamas cooking...almost. If you're looking for Mexican food drenched in "queso" or hard shell "beef" tacos stick to the chain restaurants. Love that they make handmade tortillas. Staff is great as well. read more

I will say that I can't believe I have drive past this place over the years without waiting to take a shot at eating there. Now I will say the food is well worth eating there. I had a torta and 2 tacos for about $11. The service was alright which I didn't really see my server to much but she did her job and brought my food quickly. The area is filled with a lot of Mexican joints so I will say this place is a solid 3.5 for food and 1 for quick service. I think it could be a great place for a inexpensive dinner. read more

Man, this place was good! I had been wanting to try this place for a long time, and we finally had an excuse. You get a ton of food for very little money, and the different salsas for the chips are delicious. I got pan-grilled chicken, and the husband got chipotle shrimp. My chicken was well-cooked and flavorful and covered in grilled onions, but didn't conform to the menu description (which I thought might have been a copy-paste gone awry). His chipotle shrimp was incredible: the shrimp tasted pretty fresh, and the sauce was creamy and just a little spicy. We will DEFINITELY be back here to try more items from the menu! read more

I come here once a week with my friends (except Griffin). The tacos here are more than just tacos. They are an experience. Each time I indulge, the tacos are better than the time before. Just when I thought they couldn't be better, they become better than I have ever had. These tacos are a journey. They are omega. read more

We are a couple of Californians who stumbled into Los Comales recently while visiting Memphis. The cold salsa, they bring out, was EXCELLENT. We went through at least two jars of that. Food, services, prices all good! Will be back next time we are in Memphis. Muy bien! read more

Try everything! Authentic and delicious. A friend who now lives in Nashville introduced me, and we go every time he comes to Memphis. I wish I had known about this place much sooner. Start out with the chorizoqueso. Oh, and our service is always great. Go for lunch! read more

I love walking into some place and it feels like I'm not in Memphis anymore. Los Comales had this feel. We walked in around 730 and there was very few people by the time we left, it had pretty much filled up. There is a touch of culture in that place that I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The staff was courteous and friendly. They have a listing of house specials on the back. When food was brought they bring a small plate of freshly chopped toppings, like onions and cilantro and fresh made tortillas. Very good. Also, have Dos Equis dark on tap which always goes well with food. read more

This places has some really good authentic Mexican food. You really can not go wrong with anything on the menu I have always had great meals...love the tacos and huevos con chorizo. The girls working here are very nice and are always checking on you. They only serve beer so if you are a margarita person sorry you are out of luck. If you are in the area give this place a try their food never disappoints. read more

The best Mexican restaurant in Memphis! They have the best guacamole in the city and the service is always great. They also have an amazing mixed fajita platter that is cheap and incredibly filling. Only thing that could possibly make this place better would be margaritas. read more

Food tasted great. Four of us ate a hearty lunch and couldn't spend 50.00 if we tried. The ingredients tasted fresh, chips, salsa and queso were Awesome. One person in our party spent some time in the bathroom. Coincidence? Not, sure. Oh, did I mention filthy?? read more

Everything I've had here has been the best I've had in the city. The fish tacos are fantastic. Their salsa and sauces are great. Affordable and good service. read more

Love this place! Reliable, delicious mexican food and great beer. Best in Memphis.

The food was average. They don't serve mixed drinks, just beers. I was highly unsatisfied with the customer service I received and I'm pretty sure I'll never return. The food didn't stand out enough to outweigh the horrible customer service. read more

Never knew this place existed. It's a little hole in the wall but we were pleasantly surprised with it. The food was amazing and the portions are HUGE. The price is pretty cheap considering how much food you get on your plate. And they have the largest beers I have ever seen. If you're tired of the same old Mexican restaurant you usually go to and want to check out a new place, I'd recommend checking this one out. And the ladies that work here are super attentive and nice. read more

This is one of my new favorite restaurants! Authentic Mexican food. I can't stay away from the chicken enchiladas or the house-made chips and salsa. I am not the adventurous type when it comes to food, but this place could convince me! Favorite Mexican meals I have ever had. read more

Great food, I suggest ordering off the menu with no variation if you only speak English. This is my second favorite Mexican restaurant in Memphis. read more

The best of all the Summer Avenue taquerias. Definitely start with a shrimp cocktail... It's the traditional Mexican kind that's more like a chunky Bloody Mary gazpacho with shrimp. And it's amazing. I always get the tacos, and they pork is my favorite. They serve them with grilled onions and radish slices, which adds even more flavor and textures. read more

Los Comales - PRO TIP: The large cerveza is a LARGE CERVEZA. Maybe I won't go back to the office after all. - Mexican Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

See all

Los Comales is easily the best Mexican food I've had in Memphis, all while being more affordable and having better service than its competitors. I think this gem remains a little off the map because they don't have margaritas (but the beer is fresh, frosty, and cheap). Order anything off the Mexican Delights page or try the Enchiladas Huastecas. The pastor is the best I've had in Memphis (and usually my favorite thing to order at a Mexican place) but their asada is mind-blowing. read more

This place is fantastic. We usually order a few tacos (Asada and al pastor) and split a tostada. Their guac is so good and their salsas are delicious. Great spot on Summer Ave! read more

Some of the best tacos and sauces. Only complaint is sometimes I get a jalapeño with my to go and sometimes I don't. Easy mistake. Food is always good as well as the service, time, price. Love this place. read more

Don't eat here. Read 2 reviews and thought it sounded ok. NOT. Salsa thin as water, nothing but liquid, beans almost as thin-no flavor, rice sticky and no flavor. I got enchiladas and have made better at home. Sadly, husband got them too. Oh, and beans came COLD, but didn't eat after first taste anyway-too thin for a fork. Pancho's down the street is much better or any Las Delicias location. The other reviewers must have been paid to post. read more

We arrived at 1:00 pm on a wednesday thinking the lunch rush hour had passed and it was full! First time here,we were looking for a mexican place to eat at and our first two choices picked from website had closed down so we were flying blind and spied Los Comales.I have lived here for 20 years and dining spots come and go but service was on point.I had asked to substitute spinach for ham in the dish I selected "Pollo Camarones" after perusing the large exstensive offerings (some Cuban,Portugese as well) and it was no problemo.My husband ordered tamales and I raised my eyebrows thinking he would get the usual frozen,prepackaged sort with more cornbread than meat and I was happy for him when it arrived,totally homemade and huge portion.My dish will serve me two more meals in the next day.We look forward to the second trip back,waitress was bilingual,refreshing,bathroom was clean and they were wiping down tables thoroughly and bussing them efficiently.For those of you that are annoyed by plates left on tables long after patron has left,this was also noticed by myself as good staffing.Our bill came to 25$ and she well deserved the 30% tip we added.Kuos to the team,keep laughing while you work,it made the ambience sweeter.Gracias.... read more

we went here on a friend's suggestion. he's a regular there. it did not disappoint. the chips were thin, light and crispy. the salsa was okay--it was more sauce-y and less chunky. the guacamole was tasty and surprisingly good considering that avocados are not in season right now. i got a pollo (chicken) torta. it was very good. the shredded chicken inside is very flavorful and has a nice spice. also, the bread is wonderful--soft and yummy. also, the sandwich was huge. think the size of 2 big macs. it was dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, some white type mayo sauce, avocado, and pickled jalapeno strips. the hubs had the pick any 4 combo. he had a beef taco, beef burrito, rice and beans. his was basic no frills food but it was good. also, another thing that was nice was the prices. the prices are surprisingly low and the portions are very large. you are talking about fajitas for like 9.99 and quesadillas for like 3.50. my torta was like 4.95. the inside is kind of no frills. it's nice but not super decorated like some chains. the service was friendly and attentive. los comales is located not very far from us and has lengua (tongue) tacos which sounds too intriguing not to try. read more
