Comal Next Door 550 Grand Avenue, Oakland, CA 94610

"5 star consistency. The food is great! The staff is courteous. The setting is convenient and comfortable. The chips are exceptional! I’m a big fan of chips and guacamole and the salsas are superb. Sometimes bowl, sometimes burrito, always consistent. Perfect spot to grab a quick lunch with a friend or colleague or late night last minute dinner plan. Comal Next Door is my favorite taqueria on Grand."

"The order I get most frequently is the chile relleno burrito. Fortunately, I do not eat it everyday! However, it’s hit or miss as to the quality and taste of the item. Today is a top 5 burrito experience for me. 11/7/23 ~@3:50pm Whoever you are, genius! Perfect burrito"

"Excellent salad here. Tacos are so so. Fast turnaround after ordering. Do not get the popsicle here. It was melted and refrozen. The wooden stick was not long enough to comfortably hold."

"A great new locals spot in the old Barlago space on Grand Avenue overlooking Lake Merritt in the Adams Point neighborhood. Outdoor seating for those with dogs and continuing concerns regarding Covid. The Mexican cuisine is excellent as are the specialty cocktails. My favorite beer on tap is the Fuerza Lager. Friday evenings with renown World Music DJ Jose Ruiz is going to create a meetup scene unlike any currently offered on the Lake. I'm a big fan!"

"The carnitas and el pastor were good enough to make me want to try the chicken and beef barbacoa. All four tasted pretty similar. Fresh ingredients and satisfying, but not exciting enough to want to come back for at least a month or two."
