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.

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.

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.

Went here with mom, brother, and his girlfriend. 3 of us enjoyed our lunches, but my brother didn’t like the chicken burrito — says it had no flavor. The chicken needs to be marinated, seasoned, and/or spiced.

Rather go to McDonald’s!!! No ac, food was sooo salty and gross nobody in my party could eat it. 5 people. And brought the wrong drinks to start with! It was our first time there because we had a gift card! Hopefully just a bad day! But for me go across the street to Mission Cantina! Good food and service! I’ll never go back junk!

This is our 3rd trip to find at El Comalito. While waiting for our table, we spoke with a gentleman awaiting his takeout. He had been eating here enough times that he has had everything on their menu more than twice. He recommended the Plato Pobre.
