Komal

So good!! We ordered the squash blossom quesadilla and the taco Sonia. They were both really good. The tortillas are especially delicious. We also got the strawberry hibiscus agua Fresca and holy crap.. might be the best drink I’ve ever had 😋

Wow! Absolute amazed by the food from Komal. I read about this place from the LA Times Best Restaurants list, and it did not disappoint. I loved the large food hall it was in, which was very festive and authentic. Only downside is it is hard to grab a seat, many people go here, it was very packed! The service was super helpful, kind, and made great recommendation. The food was exceptional and the tortillas were the star of the show. I personally loved the skirt steak and crispy potato taco as well as the cheese-stuffed plantains in mole sauce. Everything was a home run, from the food to the service to the ambiance, highly recommend!

Komal is an absolute standout and exactly what a Mexican restaurant should be. In a city filled with options, it’s rare to find a spot that prioritizes true authenticity and quality at this level. Every bite is fantastic, but what really sets them apart is the salsa—it is the gold standard that every Mexican restaurant should be striving for. You can tell they put a massive amount of care into their process, from the quality of the ingredients to the depth of flavor in their dishes. If you are looking for an authentic experience that doesn’t cut corners, this is the place to go. Highly recommended!

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!
