Good food at a good price. The dishes were prepared with homemade and fresh ingredients. Portions were generous. The interior is not welcoming and could use touches to create an inviting space. Perhaps, Mexican blankets hung from the ceiling to create division and “wall” between some of the tables.
Based on the food quality and price, we recommend this restaurant.
Delicious food. The passion fruit lemon mojito is very tasty. It was quite hot inside the restaurant. Other than that, it was a good place. I definitely recommend.
I’ve been here 7-10 times, and every time has been a pleasure. The succeed in all phases of a Mexican restaurant- margs, chips/salsa, guac, and shrimp quesadilla. On top of that their atmosphere is nice; they really make the most of a small facility!
I’ve been going here for years. Nothing less than a five star experience every time. Very consistent and delicious food. Super friendly staff that remember my name! Amazing margaritas and pupusas too!
Whenever I find myself in a new city or town, I look for authentic Mexican/Central/South American. Google maps directed us here. Cute little place. The burritos were excellent, and I tried something new -- papusas. Quite yummy. The margherita was also good. Staff wasn't really friendly and they got a few things wrong, but we'd go back.
The staff is very friendly, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely.
My friends and I live 2 hours away, and we can't find a Mexican/Salvadoran restaurant quite as good - especially one that makes as good birria tacos, which have become my favorite dish. The food was so fresh and hot that I had to wait for it to cool down (which I love), and the cheese at the edges were deliciously crisped. My gluten-free friends are also huge fans of this dish.
I've also had the vegetarian burrito and revueltos pupusa, which were both excellent! Definitely coming back.
Amherst has several Mexican restaurants and El Comalito is one of the best for an overall dining experience. For the colorful atmosphere, fast service(which includes complimentary chips and salsa), and quality food I recommend El Comalito wholeheartedly. The Birria tacos are amazing.
Went to Amherst to visit Eric Carle's museum. Stopped by here to have dinner. Looked at online ratings. Tried a few new things. Delicious food and great service. Will recommend for sure.
El Comalito has a great food and drinks. We go regularly and have also brought friends that are always happy with what they get.
Their churros are the best I’ve ever had. We love to get them to take home to enjoy later, because we are always so full from the large portions.
Mexican and El Salvadorian fare. Just a bit difficult to find in the back of the plaza. Sort of between the Speedway gas station and the plaza. Plenty of parking there by the entrance. Exterior is clean and well maintained. It was "Chicken Burrito Monday" so I went for the daily special. A generous amount of chopped chicken with black beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and sour cream. (I think.) It was tasty and filling. The tortilla wrapper had some tough, or gummy spots at the edges. The burrito came with a house hot sauce which was good and not too hot. Made my nose run but didn't burn my stomach. The restaurant Interior was neat and clean and well made up. Pleasant and comfortable. I will comeback to try other dishes.
