Los Comales

Its ok… best part is the carrots they put out on the tables. I had a steak torta it was a typical torta nothing stood out about it.

The rice is not authentic that’s why I’m only giving them 3 stars (it’s supposed to be authentic Mexican food). They add corn, peas and carrots. Dem tacossss doeeeeee. I’m currently having carry out and they gave me a boat load of pickled carrots, limes and salsa to add to my steak and chicken tacos. Yum!

I used to really like this spot but lately it’s been garbage. think twice before you come here. Trust me on this.

Authentic Mexican food. The tacos are only two dollars. Quick and friendly service. Quality of the food is average. They give you a basket of tortilla chips along with spiced carrots, cauliflower and a bowl of salsa which to me is a lot of food before you even get your meal. Value for the food is fantastic.

Tacos have lost their quality… do not recommend after a night of drinking & partying.

I’ve been here once and only once. On thanksgiving (11−24−14 a year ago today is 11−12−15 I’m writing this) i went here and got food poisoning so never again. I know better places in Aurora but why was i here on thanksgiving in 2014? Cause i work at a hospital did a 14 hr shift and since i missed all the family dinners had to find a place at 10pm after my shift ended. Finally got Unilocal so here’s my review thanks for reading if did.

Their prices are RIDICULOUS! You pay over $ 2.00 for a tic tac size taco and they aren’t giving you quality steak!

I like this place, I will come here once every so often to enjoy a taco or burrito.
Service is very attentive and pleasant, place is clean and prices are acceptable. Food for the most part is of a consistent quality, not bad at all.

This used to be my favorite place to go, but every time I go it seems to get more expensive. Food is good but somewhat over priced in my opinion

Dont really like it here but for a ²⁴⁄₇ place its not tooooo bad. I really enjoy the strawberry shake though!

I’ve tried Los Comales three times thus far and have gotten the bistec tacos and steak mexicana. The spices in the food are definitely decent; however I just think the food is under seasoned. It’s just missing that oomph, that pop of flavor, that I’m looking for. Some salt could have remedied that situation. Also the last time I got the steak mexicana it was really greasy and had a vat of oil underneath it. The guacomole has enough acidity from the lime but again it’s missing the salt and a bit of pepper. The best thing I’ve eaten here I have to say is the fish ceviche. It’s cold, light, and refreshing, with just the right amount of acidity. Plus the price for it was fairly cheap — at $ 3 or $ 4. I would go back for the fish ceviche and maybe the bistec tacos, if it was more seasoned.

The food is always predictable and good here. You know what to expect. I like that they give you carrots and jalapeños in vinegar to start off with.

Mainly hit up this spot for the tacos al pastor!

Cute lil gay server in pink shirt was very outgoing and pleasant. Chorizo tacos were to spicy. Al pastor tacos were not up to Comales standard. Bathrooms were relatively clean. They do not serve jaritos, but do serve micheladas. It gets loud. If I ever go back Will only be because the cute gay server.

I absolutely LOVE this place.
Whether I go at 4PM or 2AM, the chips and salsa, chorizo tacos, chicken quesadillas, etc. are FANTASTIC! I could not recommend this place any more.

By far the best taco place around. This isn’t the type of restaurant I recommend to eat inside, I recommend it to go. I love the fact that they have a drive thru. When I want fast food and dont want a burger, Los Comales it is.
My favorite thing to order are the al pastor tacos. They are delicious! I also love the steak tacos. They put onions and cilantro and you get the limes and the pickled veggies to go with your tacos. The rice and beans are nothing to brag about but the tacos are fantastic.
I always get the horchata, which is one of the best I’ve had, and I order the large without the ice. Yum!
I’ve dined in there too and its not bad. Nothing fancy, the servers are friendly and its a clean place. I just would rather get my tacos to go.
Definitely worth trying out. You won’t be disappointed.

This is honestly the first time that I can remember where I went to a restaurant specifically BECAUSE of a negative review. Julio R’s review on 9÷13÷14 mentions, and I quote, «I think they even use the City of Aurora recycled water to make those drinks.» made me laugh harder than anything I’ve ever read on Unilocal.In fact, when we went, we specifically made sure to order water to drink to get a taste of that crisp refreshing recycled Aurora water…
…Except, wait, isn’t ~all~ water recycled? Isn’t that the entire basis of the basic scientific principle of the water system and the whole point of municipal water treatment centers? What restaurant on Earth serves water freshly combined from hydrogen and oxygen? I guess I’ve been ordering water wrong all this time.
Anyway, Los Comales is the third Mexican restaurant in the same shopping center down Farnsworth. In order of best to worst, I’d say they’re Taqueria El Brasero, El Burrito Loco, and Los Comales. Conveniently, that’s also the order they’re in north to south.
That’s not to say Los Comales is bad, all three restaurants are pretty good, but when you’re sharing a parking lot it seems fair to compare them all. I got a burrito dinner when I went there, and while the flavor profile of the burrito was pretty decent, it was surprisingly flat. When I order a burrito that has lettuce in it, I expect just a sprinkling of lettuce, not to eat a burrito that’s primarily lettuce, like some kind of Subway sandwich.
Compared to El Burrito and El Brasero, the burrito was very light on the fillings. Usually a burrito tortilla should barely be able to contain its contents, not verging on wrapping around twice. Additionally, the salsa here, while tasty, is very much on the watery side. (Maybe they’re using that recycled water again?) The guacamole was great, but they were a little stingy with the chips.
Overall, a good Mexican place that shares its parking lot with great Mexican places.

Delicious. We asked the parents of our Hispanic neighbor, where they go for great mexican food. Without hesitation they said Los Camales. They were right. There are some great Mexican restaurants in the area and this is one of them. The food is so fresh and flavorful, it is worth the trip. The refried beans are to die for. Made perfectly. Even one of the people dining with us who is not a big Mexican food fan loved them.
The only complaint I have (and worth that extra 5^th star) is that ambiance is lacking and it does blow cold air everywhere you sit. It feels like a fast food restaurant which doesn’t reflect the quality of the food and drinks. And it does get very loud at times.
I’ve tried a few steak dishes the last one being bistek ala mexicana and it was perfect! I am going for the shrimp dishes next time. If you are a fan of spicy, this place will satisfy your craving. They serve a couple hot sauces with your meal and one has a nice spice level. They also give you a bowl of pickled carrots and cauliflowers which I love. Great to snack on before your food arrives and the have a bit of a kick. The servers are always friendly and helpful in getting you through the rather large menu. Both my wife and I have not had a complaint yet about the food. It is a bit more pricey than other Mexican restaurants but you do get a lot of food and the quality makes up for it.
Worth the trip. Worth the money.

This place was overall good. The inside is cold and the vents just blow air onto every table.
The food is pretty good. The al pastor tacos are good. One of them had a piece of bone in them but besides for that they were good.
The salsa on the table is good every time. Not too spicy.
The nachos are delicious and they definitely pile on the toppings.
The service was good. They brought the food out fast. They brought us a steak taco instead of the steak torta that we ordered and the brought it out pretty fast.
Will keep going back.

Los Comales is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants because it is the real deal. Most of the people that work there (and eat there) don’t even speak English. That’s how you know it’s authentic! The best thing about this place is that they are open ²⁴⁄₇! It’s like a Mexican Denny’s! I’m all about this place on the weekends.
The food is always excellent and it is extremely cheap. I usually get the barbacoa burrito. It’s gigantic and has everything you could possibly want in a burrito… rice, tomato, onion, lettuce, beans, meat, cheese, and avocado. You can get it as a combo with rice and beans and they are delightful. Recently, I’ve switched to the tacos. They make great chorizo tacos with onion and cilantro. Again, really cheap! For four people, we usually spend about $ 25.00. Get the horchata to drink. It’s delicious.
The interior is not much to look at. It looks a lot like a school cafeteria actually, but that doesn’t matter to me. The food is great and the service is always wonderful. They are quick to seat you, quick to get your drinks and order, and quick to bring out your food. They make really good sangria and the best flan I’ve ever tasted, but they refuse to tell me their secret.
The only reason I did not give this place five stars is because the restaurant itself is not visually appealing and the last time I went there, I had a little piece of cow tongue in my barbacoa burrito… it must have fallen in there by accident. It’s OK though, I forgive you. Hopefully that doesn’t deter any of you from going!
