Old school East Austin Tex-Mex spot. Excellent value on the lunch menu. Chipotle Chicken is my favorite. Try it. Service is always awesome.

Los Comales is an East Side gem that should get more love! The restaurant hides behind unassuming whitewashed walls along a semi-strip mall on E 7th St. However, upon walking in, you're transported to your late aunt's living room for a nice home cooked meal. The dishes are reasonably priced (combo plates are $15-20), come out in hearty portions, and taste great! The large margs are a bit watered down but you can't beat a $12 price tag. All in all, this place is a breath of fresh air offering simple but tasty Mexican food without trying too hard to be upscale.

2023-This place has not changed in 20yrs! Not even our favorite waitress!!2018-Our waitress was very beautiful! I asked him to please hide the cake for my dad and when we asked for the cake, he brought it with the candles lit and singing the happy birthday song. It took us all by surprise... Best birthday surprise!!! She's been there for years, sorry I don't know her name... We've been going since we were kids.. Delicious food!! Huge dishes!

My partner and I LOVE this place! Even though we moved out of the neighborhood, we still come back to Los Comales because the food is amazing and the atmosphere is second to none. There’s one waitress whom I have accidentally referred to as my mom because I love her and she is so sweet and kind!! The food here is AMAZING!
Let me say i'm from San Antonio and I've been living in Austin for the past five months and I haven't found a great truly authentic Mexican restaurant and until I came across Los Comales. The food was so good and I definitely recommend the best queso. ;-) If I can recommend it above 10 stars, I definitely would, loved it and definitely coming back.

My favorite neighborhood casual Mexican restaurant! You can always expect friendly and impeccable service from their regular waitstaff - Chelo, Jasmine and Felix! Try their large margaritas (frozen or in the rocks) are my go to. Their chili con queso is always tasty and the salsa they serve with their chips is spicy and delish! The charro beans they serve is also a fave!

I come here often because the food is delicious & the service is great! The restaurant itself has charm, and allows us to bring our dog on the patio. I love the affordability of the lunch specials & am always happy to see the staff. They remember me every time & love my dog, I can't beat that! Today I had the Chicken Fajita Plate. The fajita meat was well spiced & the veggies grilled perfectly. The rice was light & fluffy & the charro beans, maybe lacked a little salt today, but honestly that's okay because I added to salt to my* liking. The iced tea here always tastes fresh & is strong. I absolutely recommend Los Comales if you are in the neighborhood!
