The manager and staff are very nice however the food is not flavorful or tasty at all. I was shocked at how poor the food was. I would recommend Mexta, Bulevar or Verdad if you want good Mexican food. Again the staff was very nice and so was the manager.

Overall the food quality and table service were excellent. The chicken entrée was probably the tastiest chicken dish I’ve ever had and the accompanying wraps were a great addition. Only downside stopping a 5* for service was the food delivery. The sides came about 10 mins before the entrée and then my daughter’s steak arrived at least 10 minutes before my chicken. We essentially ate at different times which dampened the experience.

We’ve loved the food at Comedor for a long time. We were sat at a table in their covered patio that was a little warm. They were very accommodating and moved us to another table.

Amazing staff. Truly went above and beyond to make this dinner an experience for our group while we were celebrating multiple birthdays. Food was AMAZING. Drinks were perfect. Five stars doesn’t do it justice!
