Staff was really friendly and recommended the carnita bowl when I asked her favorite bowl. It was absolutely delicious. When it came out I did think at first it was a salad and that I maybe ordered the wrong thing. But the bowl is just topped with very nice looking fresh greens. The chips were extra but when I tried them it made sense. They were fresh and I assume made there, really good!
Everything tasted fresh and it was lovely being able to sit outside on a beautiful day. Will definitely go back to try other menu items. The drink options looked nice

Visited this place with my friend after a bad experience at a wine spot. We just walked and found it while looking for another wine spot. This place is very cute. I loved the employee that greeted us, her hair, her glasses and her overall look. It was very chic. She was very warm and welcoming. She slay provided nice small talk.
They have a Happy Hour that begins at 4 pm, but we were too early. We both decided on an alcoholic drink. I can’t remember the drink, but the menu had the liquor that we ordered as an option for the same drink. I had mezcal in mine and she had white rum. We also ordered 1 order of church’s (3 for $10). Church’s were made fresh. They came out nice and hot. Our drinks were so so so delicious. Very smooth blend.
The seating is cute too. Oh.. they do have outside seating as well. The music was a great feature. We will most definitely be back to try the food options and have more drinks. This might become one of OUR spots!!

Their veggie burrito is just a bean n cheese stuffed with zucchini and green peppers. The zucchini and peppers are not cooked well and are very slimy and tastes bad. I’ve been here twice and both times it was not good or flavorful in the least bit.
This is the first time in years I couldn’t finish my food. It tasted like slime, water and cheese. Not worth the prices or food.
Thumbs all the way down

The carnitas and el pastor were good enough to make me want to try the chicken and beef barbacoa. All four tasted pretty similar. Fresh ingredients and satisfying, but not exciting enough to want to come back for at least a month or two.

Service was very quick. Great location across the lake. We had various tacos. My favourite was the Pork Al Pastor.

A great new locals spot in the old Barlago space on Grand Avenue overlooking Lake Merritt in the Adams Point neighborhood. Outdoor seating for those with dogs and continuing concerns regarding Covid. The Mexican cuisine is excellent as are the specialty cocktails. My favorite beer on tap is the Fuerza Lager. Friday evenings with renown World Music DJ Jose Ruiz is going to create a meetup scene unlike any currently offered on the Lake. I’m a big fan!

Excellent salad here. Tacos are so so. Fast turnaround after ordering.
Do not get the popsicle here. It was melted and refrozen. The wooden stick was not long enough to comfortably hold.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place across the street from Lake Merritt. Visited on a Sunday afternoon. It was pretty busy, but had sufficient seating indoors and some outdoor seating as well. Dog friendly. The achiote chicken taco was my favorite. Although I wouldn’t consider the buttermilk fried chicken torta to be very Mexican, it was freaking delicious, so who cares. Definitely worth trying. Reasonably priced, great service, and yummy food! What’s not to love?

I have been going to Comal Next Door regularly for many years now. This is my go to burrito spot for several reasons:
1. Their flavors are strong and unapologetic. The piña hot sauce (slightly brown, and not to be confused with the bright yellow/orange habanero that is good but not sweet) is so good.
2. They cook their meat consistently well. Never dry (a pet peeve of my family’s). The chicken is tender, and the barbacoa is my personal favorite.
3. They lean towards wetter/saucier style of Mexican food. The tortilla for their burritos is more steamed like Gordos instead of a grilled/flaky like La Taqueria. I happen to prefer this saucier style.
The Next Door aspect means it’s functionally a takeout operation. It’s decent as a dine-in if you want it, good for kids because it’s loud, empty, and rarely full – the bar is excellent and the margaritas are a consistently great.
I will be a lifelong devotee, it’s not everyone’s preference/style, but they do what they set out to do perfectly.
