Service was wildly slow last night compared to times in the past. My strip steak showed up so late everyone had already completed their entree dishes. No apologies really offered. Just a late and rather cold steak (they clearly forgot it). Places is starting to go down sadly.

Food and service as usual amazing! Although we found out during our visit that Seth is no longer a bartender at Comedor. He is one of the big reasons why we come here! We will miss Seth and his amazing service with a smile. Don’t get me wrong the staff is amazing at Comedor but Seth is one of our faves. Wishing you best of luck Seth wherever you are my friend.

Comedor blew us away. We had the Crudo, Tacos de Pescar, Bone Marrow Tacos, and Pescar Fundito—all were incredible. The flavors were bold and refined, and everything was beautifully executed. The margaritas were some of the best we've had. Easily one of Austin’s top spots—can’t wait to return.

The food is very good. There are many unique and interesting dishes that you don't find elsewhere. We only had a few of the items, and shared them. All were delicious. The chocolate "tamale" dessert was really good. Our service was also really good and everyone was polite and attentive to details. All in all a great place to dine and we will be back!

Unfortunately, the service as well as the quality of the food here has plummeted over the years. We asked for the dishes to be parsed out accordingly. That didn't happen. We ordered a salad only to be brought a salad that wasn't what we ordered and to be told the menu is out of date. Really? The server didn't know this and couldn't say anything? What is the manager doing about this? The fish was definitely overcooked and all of the dishes had way too many contradictory flavors and spices. I've dined here quite a few times over the years, and I can tell you I won't be back. There are many wonderful choices in Austin that are far superior to the service and food here.

From the moment you enter Comedor, the beautiful space invites you to immerse in Michelin awardee chef Philip Speer’s modern Mexican culinary vision for a truly special dining experience. 🌿 Elevated Culinary Experience & Farm‑Fresh Ingredients Comedor’s unwavering commitment to organic, sustainable produce is evident in every bite. The new flatbread appetizer showcases this ethos beautifully: a delicate, crisp base crowned with vibrant, freshly harvested tomatoes and bright, herbaceous salsa — a light yet flavorful entry into the meal. The Veracruz empanadas are a standout, too. Each pocket is filled with shrimp, scallops, and perfectly cooked peppers and onions, reflecting meticulous attention to ingredient quality. And the desserts are no afterthought — the pavlova is ethereal: with a crisp meringue topping, tart lemon sorbet, and a creamy base with just the right balance of sweetness to cap off the experience. 🍹 Drinks That Elevate Whether you choose the spirited margarita or the non-alcoholic version, both are expertly balanced — tangy, refreshing, and beautifully crafted. 🌾 Hand‑Ground Masa & Tortillas One detail that truly sets Comedor apart is its nixtamalized masa. They hand-grind every batch in-house, embracing traditional techniques to produce tortillas that are fresh, tender, and unmistakably authentic. 👨‍💼 Impeccable Service Led by Adrian Service at Comedor feels deeply personal. Adrian, the general manager, circulates attentively throughout the dining room — monitoring every table, anticipating needs before guests even voice them. That level of genuine care adds warmth and polish to the meal without ever being overbearing. Comedor takes modern Mexican dining to a new heights. With Adrian’s hospitality steering the front-of-house, every visit feels curated just for you. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply indulging in a lovely evening out, Comedor delivers an experience that’s both sophisticated and deeply authentic.
