What a great find El Comal is! From the margaritas to the home made tortilla chips, the mains we tried.. whole snapper and green mole enchiladas and ending with flan… DELICIOUS ! The service was excellent, friendly and attentive. It’s a lovely small spot in an unexpected area.. go and try it!

Amazing tacos! We sat outside, there is a covered patio with pretty decor. Homemade tortillas with so many choices, you can't go wrong! I was tempted to try the smoked marlin taco, but opted for adobado and cochanita tacos. They brought us an extra plate with the smoked marlin so we could try it, and it was also amazing!
