Sooooo good. I get chicken tacos every time and they never disappoint. It's a cozy little place, and the people there are very kind

We love El Comalito and visit often. The food is always delicious and the margaritas are the best around. Everything is fresh and made to order. One of our favorite places.

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!

El Comalitos is the best El Salvadoran/Mexican food in Amherst, hands down. Burritos are a great price if you're feeding a crowd for takeout, or I highly recommend the birria tacos or tacos dorados. Dining in, treat yourself to the plato pobrr and a generously sized margarita. If you want a Stanley Cup of a margarita, they've also got a huge margarita option (for sharing). Vibes are good, decor is classic, bathrooms are cheap, service is prompt. I'm a regular.Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options in both tacos and burritos, just good dishes by themselves. They do not offer meat substitutes (ex. No tofu, no Impossible).

Good but definitly not great. Food tastes great. Serving sives are pathetic, the tortilla wraps for the burritos are very small, like half the size of chipotle. If your hungry your gonna need to order 2. I would suggest the chipotle chicken burrito, it is my favorite. Or the fajitas which are better value possibly than the burrito. Still I would say it is the best restaurant in Easthampton. If your in the area give it a go.

Ate here about a month ago. Had enchiladas, pupusas and tacos. All excellent. Good Mexican around can be hit or miss with the exception of a a handful of places. All of the dishes we ordered were delicious, tasty and tasted like scratch made. Very good. We enjoyed our visit a lot. Thank

No Stars. This restaurant is the worst & will try to charge you the gratuity which is illegal!!! Upon entering the surly bartender/waiter was on the phone & completely ignored us. After standing around for 5 minutes the only waitress on staff sat us in the dim lit dining room. Another table came in shortly after us & somehow got there food first. Our waitress who had clearly never waited tables before took our drink order & then disappeared for 20 minutes before coming back to take our order. We ordered nachos that arrived with no plates so our table became messy. I'm not sure what chips were used but they were thick & tasteless. Another 20 minutes rolls by before she even comes back for our entree. We had a show that evening & were starting to worry about making it on time. The venue was only a 60 second walk from the restaurant but we were still concerned about time because the service was so slow. No 3 minutes or 3 bites. My husband ordered a beer & only 1 beer because she never came back to see if we needed drinks or even plates. Finally ordered some basic tacos & had the perfect view to watch the cook working in the kitchen. I was excited to try the Fluffy Taco as I'd never had one & instead I got a basic ground beef white People Taco. All of the shells were gross & unfired so we were eating basic gross uncooked Taco shells that were so underwhelming & tasteless. As the time grew closer to our show we needed to find the surly teenager behind the bar who just seemed pissed to be at work & as we were paying they charged us the gratuity automatically which is 100% illegal & then they tried to blame it on my husband & say that he was drunk & belligerent. He drank one beer over the hour plus we sat there waiting for the only wait person in the whole place to even come near us. There was only 3 tables in the whole empty place. They don't know what they're doing & they're food is bad.

The Birria tacos are my favorite food in western MA. Would eat them every day if possible.
