“Menu is small but well thought out and everything is good. Service is exceptional and the vibe there is great and they make the best of a small space by filling it with plants and great lighting. Cocktails are on the expensive side but they’re pretty tasty. Been there twice so far and will definitely be back in the future.“

“I LOVE El Comalito!! They have a huge menu, so there is definitely something for everyone. They even have chicken fingers and fries for people who might not like El Salvadoran food. It's so cute and colorful inside, with plenty of seating and a full bar. I always get pupusas when I come because they make them fresh, and I love the spicy pickled cabbage it comes with. The pupusas take about 20 minutes to make, but even then everything came out pretty quickly. The margaritas are so good and come in so many flavors! I got the passion fruit this time but I've also had the pineapple and hibiscus in the past. They recently added sopes to their menu so I had to try them. I got the veggie version which was absolutely loaded up! Mushrooms, peppers, onions, broccoli, lettuce, cheese. My only tiny complaint is that I wish the broccoli was cut into smaller pieces so it is easier to get a bite with a little of everything. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend checking this place out!“

“What an incredible hole-in-the-wall pub. I was at a conference at UMass and was recommended to visit here for an eclectic selection of beers from around the world. So glad I took their suggestion! Soooo many delicious choices, from light to boozy. If you're daring, join the Mug Club.Parking: Small number of spots adjacent to the building“

“I lived the first 22 years of my life in the area, and frequently return to visit my parents but always felt like this restaurant was "too nice" for me to go to. My parents and I went last night to celebrate my mom's birthday and we had such a good experience. The food and cocktails are creative, delicious, and complex in flavor. We had the scallops and the steak and both were cooked perfectly. The signature grilled pineapple rum cocktail was also usual and excellent. Our waiter was just the right amount of attentive, and so nice. My dad is a talker and the waiter was very gracious listening to his stories about his own connections to the restaurant. Overall, our waiter gave us a very special and memorable experience, and we plan to come back for future special occasions.“

Spoke

Spoke Bar • $
35 E Pleasant St, Amherst

“This place serves the best free meatballs you've ever placed into your mouth. How could any Amherst local or UMass student not stop by on a Wednesday afternoon, for a taste of those infamous Colin's balls? As fresh and hot as the bartender serving them to you, they'll tickle your tummy . Would give this place 6 stars if only that tall, dark, and handsome bouncer who threw me a FREE T-SHIRT from up on the bar could move his hips a little better.Also, SPOKE seltzers are quite refreshing!Note: the bouncer named Jonathan is the only staff I've encountered here who is not amazing“
