Love this place. The food is delicious and flavorful, the staff are kind and friendly, and it's BYOB which is magical. They make their own tortillas! If you are gluten-free, order one of the Platos Tipicos! So so so good. read more

The food is delicious and I love the atmosphere. It's the only Salvadoran place I've found outside of highlandtown.

Papusas are terrific. Get the meat bean cheese one. Had boleados...a flatbread folded egg, bean, cheese carne delight. Many fish dishes and tacos and some crazy good looking soups. Beef, seafood, tripe Family run, has some Central American beers. I'll go back read more

I was in the mood for Mexican food and SY found this restaurant as we were driving back from the Wine and Food Festival. I wanted some comfort food to absorb all the alcohol in my system :) So very happy we stopped here and will definitely be back. This is a humble looking restaurant. Nothing at all fancy in the decor and furniture but the food and the service were excellent. Our waitress was friendly, helpful and very efficient, with a sense of humor. We ordered the guacamole with chips; I need to elaborate here. The guacamole was more dense than most and although they charmingly kept mum as to the secret ingredient we guessed that it might have been the famous Latin american white cheese but cannot confirm that. Whatever the secret it was sooo gooood. The chips were freshly made and came piping hot to the table. Again, sooo goood. One minor note: the salsa could be improved. For the main, we ordered tacos of chicken and of beef, which were tasty, especially with the handmade tortilla. I could have eaten the tortillas all by themselves and been satisfied- they were that delicious. The taste took me back to my stay in Central America. read more

What can I say about this place that hasn't been said already? The food here is authentic, delicious, filling, and is well-made with wholesome ingredients. It's an amazing mix of food that fills you up but you are excited to eat more later as left overs. Mi Comalito crafts food that you savor until the last bite. I loved the steak tacos and the mixed papusas with beans, meat, and cheese. I will definitely come back again just to enjoy this food again. read more

Take out order took so long to get. I was over charged, the rice was cold, and there was hair in the tacos. I've tried to give this place a couple of tries without luck. Order at your own risk read more

This is true authentic Salvadorean food. It might look like a humble, non-flashy place but the food is so delicious! I always have pupusas. I also enjoy Plato Típico #2...when an get it, I'm always like "woah! So much food. There's no way I'll eat all of that." Next thing I know, my plate is empty. On certain nights, the upstairs because a dance club. read more

Mi Comalito definitely hit the spot for me. Serving a variety of traditional dishes from El Salvador and Honduras, this place reminded me of home. The pupusas revueltas were great. Good amount of cheese and filling, not too doughy but just right. Encurtido could have use more acidity to it but it wasn't bad. Mariscada was really good as well. Soup was flavorful. The Mariscada came with shrimp, scallops, squid, salmon, langostino and more. None were rubbery and overcooked but rather cooked perfectly. The plato salvadoreno was nothing amazing but it was cooked well. I would definitely come back for more pupusas and to try their sopa de mondongo! read more

my food was amazing! I got the plato typico and the takeout box was PACKED with food. such a great deal. gracias!

Looking for authentic Mexican and El Salvadorian food?? Well here it is and the price is grrreat!!! The décor is no frills, simple but colorfully. But the selling point is the food hands down I was quite pleased. We started with a shrimp quesadilla and it was Delish, and it came out pretty quickly. For a late lunch I had the Carne asada with Camarones (surf & turf) The flavor was great, the steak was tender and juicy, and the shrimp came in a lite tomato base sauce alongside rice, salad, and refried beans. I was full and satisfied. The only reason I am giving this place a 4 star is because I think it would be perfect with a full bar....start serving margaritas and you will not have a empty seat in the place!!! Good Foodie Spot.....I will be back!!! read more

We ordered from GrubHub and the order was great. Thank you for sealing and wrapping up our order like we asked for tanker proof delivery!

Food here is great and cheap. The plantains are basically perfect every time, the elote tamales are dangerously delicious, and everything else I've had ranges from good to great. Pretty simple stuff but the ingredients are excellent and everything is cooked just right. read more

Amazing food, just had a lunch there, everything is perfect!!!! You know this is decent place when everyone is not speaking English hahaha read more

First time trying Honduran/Salvadoran food and I LIKED IT! Can't really judge whether they are authentic based on my limited experience, but it is always a good sign when some of the waitress can't speak English very well. It is a small restaurant but tidy and clean (there is a clear family-friendly atmosphere). They have a High School Musical poster on the bathroom wall, which I found pretty cute and interesting. We order tons of food and they all exceeded my expectations! My favorites were the fried plantains and pupusas (as always). We also got a pork plater and seafood soup, which were both pretty amazing as well (freshly prepared and well-seasoned, not mushy or rubbery). The food was inexpensive given its quality. However, the neighborhood is a little sketchy, so maybe visit there during the day? And do not park your car too out of your way. Overall, I would recommend this place. read more

This place was BOMB DOT COM. Only thing I'd say is their Horchata is a little too cinnamoniney. It's okay, o think I just personally have a preference for El Salvadoran Horchata. But other than that their Mango smoothie is FIRE! My boyfriend had their tacos and he said they were amazing. I was really glad we went here! Whenever I go back to Baltimore, I'll definitely come back here again! read more

Recently moved from LA and had been looking for some quality latin american food. I am so glad that I stumbled upon Mi Comalito. The staff is very friendly and I've always received fast service. I've ordered the pupusas de loroco and the fried plantains. So good!! They have also recently opened up a bar upstairs. I have not gone, but they still serve beer in the dinning area. read more

Total dive place...but awesome food! We came here before a play at Hippodrome. It's about a mile from the harbor. I was surprised at how amazing the food was. Pros: +Awesome food. The seafood, steaks and pupusas* were excellent (*they're probably from El Salvador/Central America). All the dishes were super savory and prepared perfectly. +Fast service (I recommend carry-out) Cons: -The neighborhood is a little sketchy but so long as you come during the day or don't have to park too far, you should be fine. -Some of the waitresses don't speak fluent English but they are really nice. A little basic Spanish or just effort is all you need Meh: ~Didn't go upstairs but it seems they were playing music, which was louder than the music downstairs, so they were blaring over each other. read more

I'm going to be a regular. This place offers authentic Latin dishes. The food is sooooo good OMG. I can't wait to go back - I'll definitely be a regular! read more

I would not recommend this place at all. Their food is very plain. I ordered chicken burrito and enchiladas they literally look the same and taste the same. They both had the same chicken rice and beans. Very disappointed. read more

Everything I ate here was amazing. And that is my review lol. Really, though, the salsa was great, I also had beef tongue tacos, shrimp ceviche, and chicken fajitas, and all was delicious. read more

Got horrible food poisoning from eating the fish tacos. The sick feeling lasted through to the following day :/ I hate leaving bad reviews but this place needs a health inspection. read more

This place is pretty cozy but large enough for a small group. Remember not to go too late - they will sometimes close early if there aren't a lot of people. My friend and I decided to split a few dishes. We ordered the pupusas loroco (vine flowers with cheese), yuca con chicharron, and tamales con pollo. The pupusas loroco were awesome. They were warm and oozing of cheese when you opened them up. I ate up the slaw - always a fan of the slaw with the tang and crushed tomatoes. The yuca and pork were freshly fried and came with homemade aioli. It was a little too heavy for me, but I can see how people could enjoy it. The tamales con pollo was mushier than I would have liked, but it had great flavor - the masa was prepared in chicken broth so it made the whole tamale flavorful. Overall, a good addition to the neighborhood. I'll be back for the pupusas. read more

My son and I wandered to Mi Comalito, since he had a hankering for a burrito (which he pretty much always has the hankering for). The place was pretty empty and much smaller than I expected. My son got a chicken burrito and some papusas. The papusas were pretty average (if a restaurant manages to screw up a papusa, they should just shut down. His burrito was the kind that was smothered and had to be eaten with a fork and knife. I ordered the Plato Tipico Salvadoreno with the intent to give half to the teen to make sure he had enough to eat. Well, we ended up bring half of it home because his burrito was big enough for him to be STUFFED, which is impressive in it's own right. The food was really good, and we took the sign that it took forever to come out as they were actually cooking it and not reheating it. I could pass on the salsa though. read more

If you are looking for good and I mean good authentic Mexican and El Salvadorian food at a good price, then you need to head over to Station North. Since I live directly around the corner from here, its nothing for me to grab a platter. The carne asada is to die for. For $13.95, you get a generous portion of flank steak that is cooked to perfection, rice, black beans and a fresh garden salad. There tacos and quesadillas are delicious as well. You really cant go wrong. They also serve American fare as well, which is really good. I was surprised that they can make a mean cheesteak too, better than any carry out believe it or not. The menu is not that huge which is fine by me. Very friendly and courteous service as well. This will be my go to spot when I do not feel like venturing out of the neighborhood read more

Went upstairs and played pool. Listened to some 80's music . Tacos then burrito bites. Excellent Food . It was 3:30 on a Wednesday so they brought a bartender up for me and my brother. Tanya was beautiful and intelligent. Language barrier makes it authentic Spanish food. Zero hipsters!!!!!!!! read more

Mi Comalito is a a South American spot that seems to serve, El-Salvadorian, Mexican, American food based on their extensive menu. Service is nice and seems to be family owned. I went there back to back and ordered fish tacos the first go-around. It was fine, nothing special. A second visit i ordered a pork chop dish. Now, that was delicious. I think i will stick with their marinated meat dishes; bistek and pork moving forward. read more

Mi Comalito isn't as good as the Highlandtown restaurants I've been to, but for this area, it's pretty good. The food is solid, and I would (and have) certainly go back. I'm really happy that Northern Baltimore is finally getting some good Salvodorean food. read more

The bean and cheese pupusas here are SO good. I always get mine with a side of guac, and I'm never disappointed.

PEOPLE! This may be my favorite mexican/south-of-the-border restaurant in Bmore (sorry Los Mariachis). Menu is HUGE, tacos are delicious as are the soups (gigantic) and mostly, the pupusas. Warm, fried chips and homemade salsa welcome you when you sit down, they have real cola, the ambiance is warm, and the food is amazing. CHEAP, too! My tummy is so happy they are in town. I hope they do well forever. read more

This is a place to wear your fat pants because you'll end up eating even after you're full. It's just that good. You'll be hard pressed to find a better tamale, even after you've backpacked around Latin America. I've always been "meh" about tamales because they tend to be dry, flavorless, and all filler, no meat. The ones at Mi Comalito are bursting with flavor. The corn meal sings of sweet corn and is plump, juicy and glistening from the gristle of the chicken slowly cooking inside it. There's a generous slab o' chicken in the middle, plus some potato and peas. That's two more ingredients than most chicken tamales I've seen. The pupusa is generously sized. The loroco pupusa (vegetable pupusa) was light on the veggies. It was more of an herb sprinkled in there. But, it's tasty! It came with a refreshing cabbage salad that was just the right level of spicy. The atmosphere feels like a little corner of utopia, in that all ages and races were gathered there, hunkered over their comfort food, having discovered this place way before me. read more

So, this place is pretty good considering the other closest Mexican place is holy frijoles (ick). The meat plates are really well marinaded and they use top quality beef and chicken. However, the rice and beans are probably instant (not homemade) and the "salsa" literally comes from a can of tomato soup. I'm Mexican American and grew up in a border town. I grew up eating and cooking this kind of food. so while the carne is fantastic the rest is pretty inauthentic. I got the chicken enchiladas and they were dry, filled with instant beans and rice (lol wut) and didn't have either red or green sauce. Only like three pieces of tomatoes. The best enchiladas in bmore are from cinco de mayo. Let's just say the chain on the border is more authentic, although granted they use hatch green chilies at said chain which are amazing. Service was slow. They also overcharged us by a few bucks. Also, super pricey relative to the food. I'll probably come back though because there really aren't any good Latino restaurants round here. read more

This is such a great hidden spot! This place is pretty authentic! Little tiny restaurant, not too much seating and definitely wouldn't seat larger parties. I've tried the Chicken Burrito (almost San Diego style with vegetables on top, cheese and beans!). Very interesting. I tried the #22 - Palto mixto mi comalito. It has grilled steak, chicken and shipr along with rice, beans and a little salad. Really interesting flavor. The shrimp was delicious! I also tried the Steak tacos. I think that the chicken burrito was the best option -- the steak meat was just okay. Chicken is really their biggest selling point! I would definitely recommend the Plato -- lots and lots of food and they give you tortillas too! read more

I was tired from standing on my feet for over 8 hours and smelled delicious meats cooking. They greeted me and served me water, I was on work time and could not indulge in alcohol. The portions were huge, and I love fried plantains, my husband is a chef so they were perfect. The steak was thin and sinewy but left a good juice on the rice with carrots, peas, and a grainy peas (my husband has a better term for this). The platter was huge, more than 3 people could devour. I recall working at BCDSS and enjoying a wonderful Indian restaurant there, but it was grimy and dirty. They improved the cleanliness of this location and inserted a bathroom and pocket doors. I really loved the fried corn menu item (I am Czech so I am not familiar with this food). They greeted me with not too spicy salsa and home deep fried corn chips. read more

We stumbled upon this place in search of great Mexican. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is relaxed and complemented by traditional music. The warm chips and salsa was delicious and we're devoured in seconds. Now for the main course, WOW! It was so good I hardly stopped for air. I got the enchiladas, 2 chicken, 1beef. My boyfriend said he knew it was good because I was so quiet. Come ready to eat because you won't be able to stop. This place was mad awesome and I will go out of my way to come back again. I'll be walking out of here with one rounded belly. read more

Now closed Tuesdays... I found out this morning trying to get my pupusa fix. Esta bien, Mi Comalito. You still have the best pupusas around. read more

This place is so so so good. I've ordered from here three days in a row, I'm obsessed! I've had virtually all of the papusas which are excellent and reheat well for breakfast the next day too. The yucca con chicharron is amazing; the pork is succulent and the sauces are perfect. It's always well packaged to retain heat and the portions are amazing for their price. I can't wait to go back here once restaurants reopen because I hear there is dancing in their upstairs bar! read more

The Salsa was the best I've ever had. It was mildly warm, slightly sweet, with the perfect combination of vinegar Halvorsen with the tomatoes and onions. I had the carnita enchilada which was delicious and had a hint of sweetness from the corn. read more
