If you like corn, you will like Komal. Even the tiles are like corn kernels!
As someone who doesn’t typically like corn tortillas, Komal’s dedication to the craft of masa is not lost on me. The fragrance from the tortillas really highlights all of their other ingredients, whether it’s the meat, cactus, or potatoes. The textures and flavors completely surpassed my expectations overall.
We got the tlacoyos, taco sonia, tacos de suadero, tacos de costilla, and the flor de calabaza quesadilla. We loved all of them!! The quesadilla is a sleeper hit and probably the most-loved overall with the sweetness from the squash blossom shining through, although if I had to pick a personal favorite, it would probably be the tacos de costilla with the caramelized onions!
The items are also surprisingly good for sharing, and that way you can try more things! There’s no line (especially compared to Holbox) even though they’re on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list and the service is very fast. Honestly, it’s just a matter of time before this place blows up!

Went to Mercado Paloma for Holbox, but didn’t want to wait an hour in line. Stumbled up Komal, and very glad we did. Hands down the best corn tortilla I have ever had. The tacos suaderos were tender, juicy, beefy perfection. Their salsa roja had the perfect amount of heat and smokiness. And the elote loaf dessert dish was delicious without being overly sweet. 10/10!

Food was delicious! We tried the molotes de plátano, which are three small, crispy banana fritters filled with cheese, served on top of a rich, flavorful mole sauce. We also enjoyed tacos de suadero, tender brisket cooked to perfection; Taco Sonia, a specialty with beef rib, chorizo, potatoes, and cactus; and flor de calabaza quesadilla, a savory quesadilla filled with tender squash blossoms and cheese. Additionally, there was a daily special: taco de huitlacoche, made with truffle-like corn fungus that has a smoky, earthy flavor. All dishes were served with warm, homemade tortillas made from fresh maize dough, enhancing the authentic taste.

Komal is hands-down the best Mexican restaurant in the entire United States — no exaggeration, no close second.
I travel the country constantly for work and pleasure, and I have literally stopped eating Mexican food anywhere else because 99.9% of places use conventional, mass-produced ingredients that completely miss the soul of real Mexican cuisine. Komal is the rare, shining exception. Everything here is made with real, authentic, high-quality ingredients you can actually taste in every single bite.
I’ve worked my way through the menu — tacos al pastor, mole poblano, enchiladas, quesadillas, tamales, birria, even the salsas and aguas frescas — and every dish is consistently exceptional. The flavors are vivid, balanced, and unmistakably authentic, the kind of food that reminds you why Mexican cuisine is one of the greatest in the world.
Komal isn’t just my favorite Mexican restaurant; it’s my favorite restaurant in America, period. I sincerely hope they expand or at least stay exactly as they are so more people can discover what real Mexican food is supposed to taste like. They deserve every accolade out there — multiple Michelin stars wouldn’t even be enough.
If you care deeply about authentic flavors and real ingredients, do yourself a favor and come here. You’ll thank me later.

Really good FLOR DE CALABAZA QUESADILLA!! The corn is so sweet and succulent, paired with the soft taco and the squash bloom, it’s an amazing combination. The spicy sauce balances out the sweetness and the fat from the cheese. Excellent service, very friendly people working there. Definitely recommend trying out their food.

What a great place with friendly service and great food. We really enjoyed the MOLOTES DE PLATANO, the FLOR DE CALABAZA QUESADILLA, HONGOS QUESADILLA, and the special GRASSHOPPER QUESADILLA. I think the Grasshopper was my favorite today and the FLOR DE CALABAZA is one of my wife’s all time favorites.

Overall, the food here was super flavorful, unique and I thoroughly enjoyed it! The taco de sonia and tacos de suadero were the standouts, especially the suadero which was incredibly juicy and flavorful! The molotes were okay, but I would not order them again. I would definitely come here again

The food is outstanding and the prices are surprisingly affordable for LA. The tortillas are fresh and delicious, the mole is fantastic, and everything comes out quickly. The whole atmosphere is lively and welcoming. Definitely go early to grab a table.
The zucchini cake was one of the best I’ve ever had. The street corn from the neighboring stalls is also amazing. It’s a perfect place to spend an evening.

Fantastic corn tortillas. Had the tacos de suadero, taco Sonia, and taco de costilla. Each taco came with its own salsa that compliments the meats. I was especially impressed with the taco Sonia with the pickled cactus, a new favorite of mine. The agua del dia was strawberry and hibiscus which paired well with the savory and spicy tacos. It is located in a small food hall that gets crowded but definitely worth a try!

One of the easiest five-star reviews I’v ever given. At an unbeatable price point, Komal offers delicious and filling Mexican dishes centered around masa.
The tortillas alone are worth coming here — they’re so fresh and flavorful. Definitely order the squash blossom quesadilla. I also enjoyed the chuchito, which is a perfectly balanced pork tamal that uses creamy cheese and acidic pickled veggies to cut the pork/masa filling. I also have to plug the molotes, which are served with a delicious black mole that, despite being a bit on the sweeter side, is rich and full of complexity.
Please support this fantastic business — I hope they’re a staple at mercado la paloma for years to come!
