Amazing food and great service. Recommend the asparagus and guacamole. Fish tacos were solid but not the best dish we ate.

Love Comal the restaurant and have been going there for years, but only recently tried out Comal Next Door. As expected, the food was as good as it’s namesake

I’m a keep it lit! I would’ve gave it one star, but the food is actually good and has been almost every time I come here the biggest issue I’ve noticed is the lack of courtesy from the employees, greet them positively they give you blank stares, say thank you, they give you blank stares, say, have a good day, they don’t even respond just more blank stares. OK fine nobody requires you to be courteous to one another however, I did tip you and I will no longer be tipping anyone in that restaurant I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s been every single visit here I haven’t been to other locations besides Berkeley but Berkeley location CND no chill vibes ‍♂️ all in all, I did go there for the food and not the service so if you’re looking for some decent Mexican food in downtown Berkeley, they are good for that. Just don’t expect anybody to be nice to you

Went there twice so far, ordered the bowl al pastor both times. On the first try the portion received (to go) was quite small and lacking lettuce. The second bowl was more appropriate given the price. Probably birthing pains on the first week of opening.

The burrito I had was fresh and tasty but it was very expensive. I would typically rather get a burrito from a regular taqueria, but we wanted a restaurant near the Berkeley Rep with outdoor seating and this place fit the bill.

Talk about a soggy bottom. We ordered a bunch of tacos and a salad. The tortillas were the wettest I’ve ever had in my life. The veggies were bland overall. The mushroom tacos had more flavor and the barilla was decent. Oh but the nightmare of the juicy tortilla was so disappointing. Also, the salad dressing was tangy and sour, but not in a good way. The East Bay demands better taco game than this y’all.

Acceptable choice if your group is struggling to decide on a place to go to for lunch

I enjoyed several vegetarian starters and the chiles rellenos. The flan with kumquat was great.

Good for grab-n-go or din in option. They have sidewalk/outdoor seating and indoor seating … take your pick.
