My brother (vegetarian) ordered the tacos patatas and I had the kids burrito (beans, rice, guac, salsa). We also ordered the chips, salsa & guac. Everything was jam packed with flavor, freshly made, and the service was awesome. The guy working the register was really knowldgeable on the menu and was eager to share all the veg options they had. I'm not used to that kind of attention for eating veg, especially at a Mexican restaurant so that was pleasantly appreciated! Looking around, I could see there was a good mix of veg and meat eaters. It's important to note they offer quite a bit of dishes with mole which isn't a super common thing. I love the outdoor seating with heaters. This is a great place for groups and if you have kids that want to run around.

I'm very disappointed with this place. It used to be one of my favorites, but the quality keeps…read moregetting worse, and this last visit was the final straw. I ordered the enfrijoladas, and to start with, the presentation was terrible, not appetizing at all. It literally looked like tortillas with a few spoonfuls of beans thrown on top. And as a Mexican, I can absolutely tell when refried beans come from a can... the flavor tasted artificial and completely lacked seasoning. On top of that, the dish was supposed to come with avocado, and it didn't even have that. My husband ordered a burrito, and it was also extremely bland, flavorless, and the portions were surprisingly small for the price. It's honestly sad to see a place that used to be worth visiting now serving food with so little care, flavor, or effort in presentation and quality. I really hope they pay attention and improve, because this place is definitely not what it used to be.

The staff is friendly and food is prepared promptly after ordering. I'm obsessed with their Baja fish burrito which you can get it grilled or fried, and upgraded to a super burrito. The garlic cream sauce is addicting and tasty, plus the fish is always fresh and succulent. I also love the avocado & cilantro salsa. I honestly think about this burrito at least once a day!

They seem to have plenty of staff, but it takes a really long time.

I called them and they asked me to come back for a replacement. It took about five minutes, and they were very kind about it. I don't like wasting food, so they told me I could keep the original bowl. I brought it home and my daughter was very happy to eat it. Both meals ended up being great. They also gave me an agua fresca to make up for the short wait, which I really appreciated. Mistakes can happen anywhere, and what matters is how they're handled here...they take care of you. Many thanks for the quick repair.

Our absolute, hands-down favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole bay!…read more My wife and I were raised on home-cooked Mexican food in Los Angeles, so when we moved to the bay area, we tried as many places as we could find (mostly all decent, it's still California after all) but this place tastes like home! They have menudo and pozole, rich and flavorful but not too greasy, high-quality without getting too fancy. Generous portions, fresh tortilla chips, lots of yummy salsas, and plenty of Mexican sodas. Great taco Tuesday prices too! The entire place is covered in tiles and bright colors, the service is great, and they can accommodate custom orders like no dairy or crispy tortillas (if you ask nicely). Can't recommend Talavera's enough and we'll be back soon!

The portions are ample and the value is very high - I frankly can't understand how their prices are so low given the location. The owner and his wife are lovely people as well, and I would really love to see them get their well-deserved success.

I still feel that way, but recently I reserved a table for 4 and two things really stuck in my mind negatively after spending the evening there that wanted to alert the restaurant to. I worked in restaurants for 15 years so I know not every day is your best, and that getting things right is the first priority, not schmoozing, so this isn't about friendliness. The server was fine in terms of checking up on us, but didn't engage our request for recommendations for dinner or wine; no biggie, but when the check came she a) didn't mention that the tip was included, and my generous boyfriend (who wanted to snag the card and pay quickly without letting others get a chance) would have tipped another $80 had I not gotten up from the table and asked whether tip was included. On large checks the server should tell the group immediately not to worry about calculating the tip, and still act like she is earning it by taking good care of the table, refilling wine glasses when we ordered a bottle, etc. what really got me though was when we requested -- she didn't offer-- the remaining food on the table to go, she came with two piles of boxes and put them on the edge of the table. Again, my no-fuss boyfriend said he didn't mind packing the food up, but I think if you spend $450 on a dinner they could at least offer to neatly pack the food to go. It's a chore that I want to leave at home, plus it can be messy. It annoyed me a lot that the money we spent didn't seem to be appreciated and we had to basically clean up our table at the end. Not a good service night. Can you make it a policy to at least offer to pack the food? Comal isn't that type of pandemic restaurant that drops customer service in favor of pretend hygiene, and I just wonder if the standards are slipping or it was just a one off
