    Comedor Guadalajara is one of those spots you can always count on for great flavor. I had the shredded taco combo plate, and the hard tacos were excellent; crispy, fresh, and packed with taste.The rice and beans made it feel like a comforting, well-rounded meal. I will say service can run a little slow when it comes to drink refills, and portions feel a bit smaller compared to the past. But honestly, the food is so delicious it's still worth the visit. Definitely a reliable spot when you're craving tacos done right.

    We came to this phoenix staple for some Mexican food and we enjoyed it! It' gives almost like a Macayos or Manuel's vibe but more local. I personally enjoyed my cheese crisp but would pass on the michelada. The combo my bf enjoyed but some part of the taco were a little a cold.

    Brandon P.

    Quality food and above average flavors. The salsa was spicy and delicious. The green chile was tender. The red sauce was okay, definitely preferred the green. The rice and beans were both seasoned well. The asada had a nice grill flavor and some char which was a pleasant surprise. The service was great and the atmosphere was very relaxed and welcoming. *** average food **** above average food at a reasonable price. ***** Unique and delicious food. The drive is worth the price.

    This is an amazing and authentic Mexican restaurant. Don't let the dated building fool you! On the inside, you'll feel like you're attending a family event and the staff makes you feel like family too! I only had the Green Chile Beef burrito, enchilada style, smothered in green sauce. My wife asked me to bring her home the same thing, a relleno and a taco. Even though I had an hour drive home, she loved it all and said the taco was AMAZING! In fact, she said she could eat endless tacos if that was an option Needless to say, I'll make sure to stop in again next time I'm in the area!

    The Mexican food joint that just about everyone has heard about. A Phoenix staple, Comedor has been around for nearly 5 decades. My dad, who was long time friends with the owner, would often bring us here in years past. I'm extremely picky about my Mexican food and this place has always been on of my top 3. A must try for out of towners. I ordered my usual, Molcajete de Camaron con Nopales. It was as delicious and savory as I could remember, as it's been about 2 years since I stepped foot into the restaurant. I really appreciate the consistency and authenticity. Served in an oven hot molcajete, the dish is served piping hot in a rich red chile sauce & also comes with a side of rice, beans & tortillas. Of course I had to pair a Michelada with my meal, and it too was refreshing & delicious just like the years past! Complimentary chips and salsa are also both incredibly good & spicy! Some may not like the consistency as it has no texture, but packed in flavor. My husband had the tripas y asada fajitas and holy smokes!!! Sooooo good! The tripas were perfectly crunchy just how we like as most place serve them overly chewy. The asada was tender and flavorful as well. Everything about all our meals surpassed our expectations as always. The restaurant is HUGE! There are 3 main dining areas with lots of tables to help cut down on wait times as there is ALWAYS a wait, so be prepared! I wish they accepted reservations. Hours are very odd and they close quite early every day, so be sure to check before you go. This has always been a family favorite for years and we'll continue to dine here time & time again.

    Outdoors: There is plenty of parking, even though we decided to try them out on a Sunday. In observation they have a person watching the parking lot, could have been valet or someone. I didn't ask Hostess: there was a young lady and gentleman who were handling all the people coming in for dine in, the wait was 30-45 minutes at around 11:35 am. We got seated after 24 minutes, so I do appreciate the faster response. Server: he was a young guy who was so kind, professional, knowledgeable and had great suggestions. He offered his advice and opinions which I greatly appreciated. He stayed on top of service, I do want to mention that on the menu they do post: First bowl of chips & salsa are on the house but anything there after there's a charge for it. Drinks: yummy their agua fresca de jamaica is so good. Please order this if you enjoy cold refreshing refreshments. Food: Amazing!!! Full of flavor, my god it's so authentic to the Guadalajara culture that it's like I'm eating at my mom's kitchen. We ordered as follows one chicken enchilada plate with mole, chicken chimichanga accompanied by rice and beans & lastly 2 hard beef tacos those two also accompanied rice and beans. The beans were so good, they use lard and I can tell, the mole was just like my mom's homemade mole. Can't wait until or next visit, he's the photos:

But I wanted something hearty after donating blood the day before at Phoenix Fan Fusion. I felt like I didn't eat enough to replenish all of the corpuscles I shed, so a hearty late breakfast was in order. I was pleasantly thrilled with my choice of Presidio Cocina Mexicana, as the late breakfast I ordered did not disappoint! I ordered the Chilaquiles, which are essentially breakfast nachos, and you have a choice of protein to add. I chose the birria beef which was perfectly slow-cooked and complemented the corn tortilla chips, cheese, and eggs superbly. I opted for both the red chile and green chile sauce which coated the chips along with a generous layer of tangy cotija cheese. I asked for the eggs scrambled and they cooked them just how I like them... fairly dry and in a thin griddled layer. Add to this mound of well-seasoned goodness a decent dolloping of Tapatio hot sauce (and salt and pepper on the eggs) and I had endless perfect bites of spicy, meaty brekkie goodness that brought delighted yummy sounds from my grateful gullet! This was quality food and the couple at the bar next to me raved about the Menudo, so it has all the hallmarks of authentic Mexican fare. It restored me from borderline anemic to my usual strutting rugged caballero self. "¡Arriba, arriba! ¡Ándale, ándale!"

To die for. Chips are gratuit. Service is prompt and knowledgeable. The entrance is via the kitchen as this was once a home, now converted into a great eatery. So you come in the side door to the dining room . Wait staff all greet you and guide you to the dining room, festooned with roses and talavera tiles. It's not kitschy, just gorgeous. The menu is ample and you can't go wrong with anything. The initial refrito dip, tho yummy, has pork. But they have the best, the absolute best black beans!! Try them just for a change.

The restaurant is inside of an old brick home with wood interior and warm colors. The service was good-- friendly and food came out at a good pace, we were checked on regularly. We ordered an appetizer and then entrees from the lunch menu. The aguachile appetizer is SO good. It's bright, fresh, and has a lot of flavor in the green sauce. It reminds me of a ceviche type dish due to its raw butterflied shrimp that is marinated in the house made chile serrano & cilantro citrus sauce. It was awesome. We were also given free chips & house made bean dip. I ordered the mixed two item plate with a chile rellano and taco corazon (grilled taco dipped in a red chile sauce, stuffed with shredded beef & melted cheese. Topped with grilled onions). The black beans and rice is also tasty. I tried a bite of the other dishes, and I also really liked the brightly colored spinach & cheese enchiladas with pink sauce ( signature beet sauce). I look forward to trying other items from the menu, I was eyeing the steak Mexicano or red snapper. Those dishes sound good for dinner.

    Sometimes the best meals happen because your original plan falls through. That was exactly the case…read morehere, and honestly... I'm not even a little mad about it. I ordered the veggie tacos with roasted sweet potatoes (skin on, which was absolutely the right call), pepitas, feta, and all the right toppings. Whoever prepped those sweet potatoes deserves a raise because they were cut into the perfect sized pieces. Every bite had a little sweetness, a little crunch, a little saltiness... it just worked. My dining partner ordered the barbacoa tacos, and I didn't even have to ask if they were good. The involuntary "Mmm..." after the first bite answered that question. Four tacos disappeared in record time, followed by, "I could've eaten two more." That's about as glowing of a review as you're going to get. Now let's talk about these tortillas. Handmade. Corn. Tortillas. Are you kidding me? They're the kind of tortillas that had me question every tortilla I've ever eaten. Soft, fresh, and somehow they manage to steal the spotlight even with everything else on the plate being so good. The chips and guacamole were excellent, too. The chips have to be made in-house and they disappeared at an alarming rate. The salsa that came with them had this smoky, fire-roasted, chipotle flavor that kept me reaching for another chip... and then another... and then suddenly I realized I'd eaten way more chips than I intended. The bottled table salsas deserve their own paragraph because they completely confused me... in the best way. They bring three to the table... a green, a red, and a darker red. I kept tasting them individually thinking, "Okay, these are alright." Then I started mixing them. Game over. On their own, each one was solid. Mixed together? That was the magic. I don't know if that's what they intended or if I accidentally stumbled onto the perfect combination, but from that point on, every taco got the salsa trio treatment. The only tiny hiccup was when we first walked in. We were greeted, asked if we wanted menus, and sat ourselves. We waited for a bit thinking someone would come take our order, only to realize it's actually counter service. Once we figured that out, everything was smooth sailing. Not a big deal at all... just something first-time visitors might want to know. Follow the sign "order here" I also loved the layout. You can actually watch them making the food, which somehow makes the wait even harder because everything smells incredible. Two tacos ended up being the perfect light meal for me. Could I have eaten ten? Absolutely. Those two statements can both be true. Meanwhile, my dining partner polished off four barbacoa tacos and was talking about ordering two more. We only ended up here because another place happened to be closed, and honestly, I'm glad it worked out that way. This ended up being one of those meals we keep talked about on the drive home. Oh and the bathrooms?. I walked in and immediately thought, "Whoa... this is a cool bathroom" The lighting had this pinkish-purple glow that made me feel like I'd accidentally wandered into a trendy lounge instead of a taco shop. I honestly wasn't even sure there was regular lighting in there and I didn't look... because the vibe seemed so intentional. Finally, the music. .. upbeat, dance-worthy, the kind that had me bouncing in my seat while waiting for my food. Between the atmosphere, the lighting, and the music, the whole place had me want to hang out a little longer. Zero regrets. I'll absolutely be back... and next time I'm ordering more tacos.

Also bring a group. The portions are huge and the food is clearly meant to be shared. Trust me on this one, bring friends. I've tried a bunch of dishes here, and there are a few I always go back to. For the table, Camarones Locos is an easy choice. The flame grilled shrimp comes out hot and full of flavor, perfect for passing around. La Patrona ceviche tower is massive and worth the order. When it hits the table, you immediately feel good about the decision. El Pulpazo is technically an entrée, but we always order it as a shareable. The octopus is grilled perfectly and it comes with rice and beans, so everyone gets a little of everything. For entrées, my number one pick is the Lobster and Crab Enchiladas with green sauce.

    This review is for the totality of the experience…read more I made an advance reservation at Alma Scottsdale for a mid-sized group of 7 to celebrate a special occasion. Our party arrived right on time for our reservation, but we were not seated until 15 min later because our table was not ready. It took about an additional 15 min to get tap water for the table (there was not enough provided anyways), and to place our orders too another ~20 min. The food did not arrive until 30 min later. For context, we eventually learned that the restaurant was short staffed and the bartender was also operating as our waiter. When the food finally arrived, there was a mix-up on what was delivered. We had checked with the staff who delivered one of the dishes: we ordered the "wild mushroom" side, but what we received did not look quite like it. We asked clarifying questions x2, but were assured, "no, it is the wild mushroom." Turned out, it was the mushroom empanada that was delivered to our table, which we originally did not order. The management did rectify the situation upon the conclusion of the event when we were paying the bill, but to us, it felt a bit accusatory as if we intentionally wanted to cause a huge fuss about the final total, which was absolutely not the case. The food in general was delicious. If this was a more standard dining experience, it would have been 4-5 stars just for the food. The service was very subpar, and really colored the entire experience negatively, therefore the two star review. I understand that staffing shortages happen -- fine. My family has worked in food service as wait staff for 25+ YEARS, so I am empathetic. But for management to ring up our bill and then come confront us in an inflammatory manner, making us feel like we were wrong, on an occasion to celebrate something special, was extremely disappointing.
