My mother is Mexican and refuses to eat pretty much anything other than Mexican food (I'm trying to widen her palate little by little ), so this felt like the perfect spot. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The octopus al pastor tacos were cooked to perfection, and my barbacoa was exploding with flavor. The staff was very attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. It was a little loud, but honestly that's expected since many of us were celebrating Mother's Day brunch early. Definitely can't wait to come back again!

I was recommended to try out La Mission by a good friend of mine and the recommendation did NOT…read moredisappoint. La Mission is hearty, Mexican fare with prices that are insane -- especially in this 21st Century economy. My sister and I got a carnitas burrito, sangria, and chips to share -- and I was STUFFED. The burrito was packed with meat, rice, beans, etc etc. I imagine it could have fed me for two meals if it had just been me v the burrito. The location itself is really cozy -- both indoor seating and a sort of enclosed, patio area. I love how unassuming this place is -- just good food, good prices, and, when enjoyed with friends, an awesome time.

I'm very disappointed with this place. It used to be one of my favorites, but the quality keeps…read moregetting worse, and this last visit was the final straw. I ordered the enfrijoladas, and to start with, the presentation was terrible, not appetizing at all. It literally looked like tortillas with a few spoonfuls of beans thrown on top. And as a Mexican, I can absolutely tell when refried beans come from a can... the flavor tasted artificial and completely lacked seasoning. On top of that, the dish was supposed to come with avocado, and it didn't even have that. My husband ordered a burrito, and it was also extremely bland, flavorless, and the portions were surprisingly small for the price. It's honestly sad to see a place that used to be worth visiting now serving food with so little care, flavor, or effort in presentation and quality. I really hope they pay attention and improve, because this place is definitely not what it used to be.

Las Cabanas is tucked away on MLK Jr Way a block away from University Ave. Parking is a little…read morechallenging but you can always park on Hearst and it's definitely worth a visit. The staff is friendly and food is prepared promptly after ordering. I'm obsessed with their Baja fish burrito which you can get it grilled or fried, and upgraded to a super burrito. The garlic cream sauce is addicting and tasty, plus the fish is always fresh and succulent. I also love the avocado & cilantro salsa. I honestly think about this burrito at least once a day!

In my opinion, Las Cababas is a 3.5 star establishment. So I round up to 4…read more We came in around noon on a Friday, ordered, Huevos Rancheros Plate, 2 Asada Tacos Plate, and the Baja Fish Burrito and took about 30 mins for the food to be ready. They were busy but everyone that was sitting down already has their food on the table. Huevos Rancheros Plate is good with good flavor, but the black beans had no flavors what so ever. 2 Asada Tacos Plate with extra Rice was good, the steak was tender, but again lack flavor and the rice was good. Baja Fish Burrito, you get an option of getting grilled or fried fish, I took the grilled because I figured it would have been seasoned well, I was wrong, again no flavors and same for the black beans. It is street parking only, if its a busy time, you'll probably have to park several blocks away.

I work nearby this restaurant and often pick up a bowl for lunch. Last week I ordered a chicken…read morebowl, and when I got back to my office I realized it was pork instead of chicken. I called them and they asked me to come back for a replacement. It took about five minutes, and they were very kind about it. I don't like wasting food, so they told me I could keep the original bowl. I brought it home and my daughter was very happy to eat it. Both meals ended up being great. They also gave me an agua fresca to make up for the short wait, which I really appreciated. Mistakes can happen anywhere, and what matters is how they're handled here...they take care of you. Many thanks for the quick repair.

So they hate disabled people too. Like that's literally a violation of the ADA, to demand someone take off their mask because you can't hear them because your music is too loud. Placed an order for pick up and the DoorDash app said it was time to go inside and pick up our order so we did. The staff inside had the music blaring so loudly that my friend had to take off her respirator and she's immuno compromised just so they could hear her. These are ableist jerks. On top of that when it was trying to pick up the order in the DoorDash app, my friend walked into the restaurant to pick up our order physically and they said it wasn't ready yet. Now it's running 20 minutes behind schedule. I will never give these people my business or time again, I will warn every disabled and Covid conscious and chronically ill person to not go there because they won't turn down the music and they'll pretend not to hear you if you're wearing a full face mask. The horrible timing is just not worth it.

The portions are ample and the value is very high - I frankly can't understand how their prices are so low given the location. The owner and his wife are lovely people as well, and I would really love to see them get their well-deserved success.

Food, ambience, and *usually* wait staff are so excellent here, it's always my go-to for friends…read morevisiting from out of town. I still feel that way, but recently I reserved a table for 4 and two things really stuck in my mind negatively after spending the evening there that wanted to alert the restaurant to. I worked in restaurants for 15 years so I know not every day is your best, and that getting things right is the first priority, not schmoozing, so this isn't about friendliness. The server was fine in terms of checking up on us, but didn't engage our request for recommendations for dinner or wine; no biggie, but when the check came she a) didn't mention that the tip was included, and my generous boyfriend (who wanted to snag the card and pay quickly without letting others get a chance) would have tipped another $80 had I not gotten up from the table and asked whether tip was included. On large checks the server should tell the group immediately not to worry about calculating the tip, and still act like she is earning it by taking good care of the table, refilling wine glasses when we ordered a bottle, etc. what really got me though was when we requested -- she didn't offer-- the remaining food on the table to go, she came with two piles of boxes and put them on the edge of the table. Again, my no-fuss boyfriend said he didn't mind packing the food up, but I think if you spend $450 on a dinner they could at least offer to neatly pack the food to go. It's a chore that I want to leave at home, plus it can be messy. It annoyed me a lot that the money we spent didn't seem to be appreciated and we had to basically clean up our table at the end. Not a good service night. Can you make it a policy to at least offer to pack the food? Comal isn't that type of pandemic restaurant that drops customer service in favor of pretend hygiene, and I just wonder if the standards are slipping or it was just a one off
