My girlfriend and I discovered Los Comales by accident about three months ago, and we have eaten there at least ten times since. We've never had to wait for a table. The service is quick and friendly. The dining area is comfortable, relaxing, and clean. It is the food that keeps us coming back. Most of the time, I have the Echiladas Oaxacenas, topped with a tomatillo sauce which is tangy without being vinegary. The chile con queso is thick and creamy and suffused with garlic. (More than once I've had to order two chile con quesos, because I practically drink the stuff.) Their homemade tortillas are heaven. Normally, I'm a flour man, since I don't like the mealy texture of the corn variety; but the tortillas maiz at Los Comales are like little cakes. I could make a dinner out of their corn tortillas smeared with queso and rolled up. Lately, I've been hooked on their chicken enchiladas with mole. Their mole is fantastic - sweet and faintly smoky. I've tried other menu items - the pork in cascabel, chicken with chorizo and monterrey jack, and a terrific steak dish (the name of which escapes me) - and I have never left without thinking how perfect it seemed to be. Recently, I've been enjoying their desserts. The flan is firm, custardy, and cool. The tres leches cake is a real treat, full of the requisite milk, but firm enough to stand up to the fork without falling apart; and it has the most delightful caramel flavor to it. Yesterday we had chips and queso, two orders of chicken enchilidas and mole with beans, rice, and tortillas, and a shared piece of tres leches cake, all for $23.00. I can't think of a better deal in town for the money. I'm a member of a nearby theatre company, all of whom I brought for a late dinner one night, and they are addicted to Los Comales as well. I refuse to eat Mexican food any place else now. The only flaw I can see is that parking can be a bit of a challenge at times. If you can live with that, then I higly recommend Los Comales.
Pros: Food, service, atmosphere, price
Cons: parking
