The food is quite delicious, especially the pupusas. Our waitress was quite friendly and quite efficient in making sure we didn't miss anything, we were well served. I recommend the beef soup, the soft yuca and the freshly made tortillas. We will return again ??

We went with my husband to want to eat at this place and the waitresses were not kind enough to bring us the menu, one only saw us and the other did not even see us again, we waited 10 minutes in the end we decided to leave the place because no one wanted to serve us.

I had high hopes for my visit to El Comalito (as always), but unfortunately, my experience fell far short of expectations.From the moment I arrived, it was evident that the restaurant was struggling with organization. Despite a line of people waiting to be seated, empty tables were left untouched, and there was no one guiding customers to their seats.After a 20-minute wait, my party was finally escorted to a table that had been vacant the entire time. However, the ordeal was far from over. Our server took our order, only to prioritize those who arrived AFTER us, leaving us waiting for OVER AN HOUR for our food.What exacerbated the situation was watching other customers who arrived later receive their orders promptly while we continued to wait. It was not just about the delay but also the feeling of DISRESPECT seeing people who sat after us getting their orders, eating, and leaving before we even received ours.It was only when I decided to leave that the server rushed to our table, promising that our food was almost ready. Despite the reassurance, when the food did arrive, it was not only late but also INCORRECT.Fed up with the ordeal and the lack of apology or acknowledgment for the extensive wait, I requested the check and asked for my order to be removed. The entire experience left a SOUR taste in my mouth, and it's safe to say that I won't be returning to El Comalito anytime soon, despite my previous positive experiences.In conclusion, while I had enjoyed El Comalito in the past, the disorganization, poor service, and lack of accountability during my recent visit have left me deeply disappointed.

For regular food there is no crazy pupusa, on Sundays it is open late. The service is slow even though there are many waiters in the place, which is very large.They must include office and children's menus.The horrible total white decoration, no plants, no games for children, nothing from El Salvador if that is what a Salvadoran restaurant is. The place allows for a private room for birthdays or meetings. There is plenty of parking outside but they need to clean the hallway more.

Sunday morning the server Alicia got my order wrong 2 times. She just brought was she wanted. Food was so simple, not what I expected. Eggs came put uncooked and rice had something weird. The pupusa were very salty, my son vomited in the car.

El Comalito offers a delightful dining experience with their mouthwatering cheese pupusas that are a true treat for the taste buds. The rich flavors of the cheese combined with the perfectly cooked dough create a delicious harmony. Additionally, their horchata is a standout, striking the right balance between creaminess and flavor. A visit to El Comalito is a must for anyone seeking authentic and satisfying Salvadoran cuisine. provides a serene ambiance, allowing for quiet yet contemplative moments, while the subtle Spanish music in the background adds to the cultural charm.
