★★★★★ 5.0 German Perez · Jan 2026

We hosted our barbershop holiday party at El Comal Restaurant in Los Altos, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. David and Jaime, the owners, along with their entire staff, went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of. Everything was well-organized, welcoming, and seamless, which made the night even more enjoyable for our whole team. We truly appreciated the hospitality and attention to detail. Highly recommend El Comal for group events, celebrations, or just an amazing meal.

El Comal Restaurant offers the best customer service along with outstanding food quality that truly can’t be compared to anywhere else. The environment is great—welcoming, clean, and comfortable—and the people are incredibly kind and attentive. From the moment you walk in, you feel valued as a customer. Amazing food, amazing service, and an overall excellent experience. Highly recommended! They hosted our holiday party for our company and let me tell you the best experience

★★★★★ 5.0 Edwin H. Mora · Jan 2026

This restaurant delivers the perfect balance between traditional Mexican home style cooking and a high end dining experience. Every dish was outstanding the beef and chicken fajitas were tender and flavorful, the pozole was rich and comforting, the quesabirrias were crispy, cheesy perfection, and the tacos gobernador (shrimp, cheese, peppers goodness 🤤) were absolutely next level. One detail I’d highlight is that chips and salsa are not automatically served yet they’re still available if you want them. This intentional choice keeps the experience rooted in authentic Mexican dining, where the focus is on the main dishes, while also elevating the vibe by moving away from the typical “default appetizer” most local Mexican restaurants rely on. It feels thoughtful, refined, and culturally accu

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Danny K (DSKO) · Mar 2025

Updated review 12/30/25: For the last dinner of my visitors from out of the country, I decided to take them to El Comal in Los Altos. My partner and I had a great experience back when they first opened in early 2025. I was one of the first diners to review them and enthusiastically recommended El Comal to quite a few friends and work colleagues this past year. Things got off to a bit of a strange start when our reserved table for five was not prepared in advance unlike the two seat table by the window which already had a reserved sign on it, ready for a couple that arrived 10-15 minutes after my party. They dragged over a 2 top and a couple chairs to complete our table. Once seated, we noticed right away that the menu had changed significantly. The beet salad that was the main dish

★★★★★ 5.0 Stephanie Belier · Dec 2025

We ate here last week and loved it so much we went back last night. We have tried many of the dishes they offer and all of them have been authentic and delicious. My husband can’t stop talking about how delicious the mole sauce is. The owner and his mother who created the mole sauce stopped by our table for a quick introduction. Lovely people. I would highly recommend giving this noce little restaurant a try.
