    Tortilla soup
    Kelly T.

    Amazing tortilla soup- very fast service when ordered take out- very flavorful - enjoyed the music- friendly service

    Flauta Soup
    Frances T.

    This place is just ok. It's a small Mexican food restaurant. The food sounds delicious on the menu but when it comes out it was different flavor. We were given complimentary chips and salsa. We ordered the flauta soup. The broth has great flavor. Gordita plate needed salt. These tacos pastor needed salt as well. Flauta plate just needed something more. Not sure what but it wasn't our favorite. The limonadas were delicious.

    Really good service and the best shrimp cocktails and good burritos plenty of parking

    Alambra tacos
    Ben L.

    This is our second visit and the consensus after our first visit was "meh". Tried it again a year later and much better. The beef in the alambre tacos had very nice char flavor and the shredded beef flautas were right on point. The Salas had good flavor and plenty of kick. The beans were good but the rice was just the typical bland rice you typically find in Mexican restaurants. The service was good, portions very generous and the prices were more than fair.

    Parrillada for two

    Food was delicious for sure ! Sever was friendly but he did not check up on the refreshments often. Went on a busy Thursday afternoon but the food was taken out in a timely manner ! Price was reasonable as we got a Al pastor and alambre parrillada for two , a lemonade and a miller lite . Everything was about $40 not including tip ! Would recommend !

    This restaurant has a $2.99 breakfast, with 4 choices! The service was good and the food was tasty! Enjoy!

    Caldo de res here is excellent
    David T.

    I frequent this place as someone very special to me lives in the area! She turned me on to this restaurant as well caldo de res in general-and the caldo here is excellent. Service is always great and the chips and salsa here is usually excellent. Did I forget to mention also inexpensive?

    I've been a loyal customer of this establishment since 2008. While the food was never the primary…read morereason I returned, the excellent margaritas and outstanding service kept me coming back for nearly two decades. Unfortunately, that loyalty came to an end after a recent experience that was both disappointing and unacceptable. My family and I chose this restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Every guest paid separately, and there were no issues during the evening itself. However, as the event concluded, multiple attendees, including family members and in-laws, overheard servers making derogatory comments about our party. Among the remarks were that we were "ungrateful," "cheap," and "broke," along with other inappropriate comments that no customer should ever have to hear. I brought the matter to the attention of ownership, hoping for a meaningful resolution. While I was told the employees had been reprimanded, the proposed remedy was a $25 gift card. After nearly 18 years of patronage, the response felt dismissive and only added insult to injury. What disappoints me most is not simply the behavior of the staff, but the lack of accountability and concern shown afterward. This was a place I once considered a reliable and welcoming destination for family gatherings and celebrations. Sadly, that trust has been lost. As a result, I will no longer be returning or recommending this establishment to friends, family, or colleagues. Respect for customers should be a fundamental part of any hospitality business, and in this case, that standard was not met.

    One of the best ambiences I have experienced at a Mexican restaurant. The service was very friendly…read moreand fast. I would rate both the ambience and service highly. The food arrived within about 10 minutes for our group of six, which was impressive. The complimentary fried tortillas were very good, and the salsa was enjoyable as well. I ordered al pastor tacos. The flavor was good, but the meat was very dry. I liked the portion size, especially the amount of meat, but it would have been excellent if it were not so dry.

About 8 large chile toreados, grilled onions.and plenty of corn tortillas. The charro beans were mostly bean soup. I actually poured some of the bean soup into a bowl so we could serve ourselves to avoid some spilling. The baked potatoes were generously bathed in butter. They did not provide any other toppings for the potatoes. Personally I think some sour cream, or Mexican crema de la Mesa, some chives, some other toppings would have been nice. The queso fundido was good but also a disappointment. It was missing the chorizo that I had paid extra for. The meat was very good. Well done but not dry or hard to chew. I was pleased to see that the chicken was not cooked into dryness. We did come across a couple of meat grisel or what in Spanish is called "nervio". This place has a small sign that states that if you pay with a credit card a 3% service charge will be added to your bill. I am pretty good with math and I pointed out to the cashier that they actually charge 4%. He did make a correction on my bill. Be ware of your bill. Otherwise they do give you plenty of food. It reminds me of a Mexican parrillada/ grilled cook out. The food here was very good, good tasting, and in spite of the small glitches worth it. We will be returning again.

Looking back, El Cometa is what started my taco obsession. Their tacos al pastor con queso are so good. The marinated pork is perfectly seasoned, a little greasy in the best way, and topped with melted cheese. One thing I love is their salsa bar. I always grab the red salsa, green salsa, and guacamole. I pile all three on my tacos, and every bite is amazing. Their tacos remind me of my favorite tacos at the resort my family visited every summer in Cancún. Even though it has been years since I have been there, El Cometa brings those memories back with every bite. The staff is incredible. Last summer, the hostess recognized me right away and seated me immediately. She even remembered my order. I order the exact same thing every visit: tacos and two cans of Sprite. The fact that she has been there since I first started coming in 2019 makes every visit feel like coming home. From 2019 until I moved away in 2022, I went there almost every week. To eat here, everyone lines up at the cashier to place an order, but somehow I always felt like royalty. The staff knew me, and every visit felt welcoming. El Cometa never disappoints. The food is outstanding, the service is excellent, and every visit reminds me why I fell in love with tacos in the first place.
