Time and time again, the food here is consistent and delicious. Our go-to is either the steak, grilled chicken or El pastor tacos if we'll feeling meaty. I go with their fish and shrimp tacos when I'm feeling like seafood. There are tortas and their burritos are great choices as well. I usually top my meal with an horchata. The service is quick and the workers are attentive. read more

The food was absolutely disgusting. After taking one bite my 9 year old son noticed something was off about the steak. After every bite I took of the steak it was worse and worse. You could tell the beans were canned and the rice was bland and flavorless. The best part was the chips and salsa and that was decent and VERY spicy. Save your time, money and taste buds and just cook at home. read more

The meat had NO flavor and was very dry and bland. The best part was probably the chips and salsa. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. Would definitely not recommend. read more

Great spot! I drive by it like 4-5 days a week and finally had a craving for authentic Mexican food! This is the spot - great flavor great staff. I ate alone but can't wait to bring the family read more

The food at this Taqueria Los Comales always hits the spot for me! The complimentary chips and pickled veggies are great. They even give salsa and lime for your food as well. I always get the carne asada tacos/burrito, and they always come out so tasty. You have to pair it with a nice cup of horchata as well! The service is always amazing when I go - they always check on us and take our order super quick. The ambiance is very nice and clean inside; I prefer this location because there's parking and a lot of seating inside the restaurant. read more

Unfortunately, the experience wasn't what it used to be. The food was disappointing, for starters. While it came out piping hot and impressively quickly, it was extremely bland! My grilled chicken burrito was the blandest burrito I've ever eaten. The protein needed more grilled flavor, and the quality of the sour cream and cheese shreds was poor. Both tasted noticeably sour, so either the quality started poor, and/or it was exacerbated by the containers being open and exposed too long. The tamales my husband ordered were dry and lacked flavor. For the quesadillas, you can get corn or flour tortillas. The one food highlight was the breaded chicken within my daughter's torta. That had a nice crunch to it. Service was fine. There's a lot of disposable materials used when dining in here: styrofoam plates and forks for the complementary chips and salsa, paper cups and straws for the drinks, and styrofoam to go containers. Would like to see them (go back to?) reusable utensils and cups, especially for diners eating in. Last note: the menu says to ask server for the full bar menu, but this is outdated. Just beer (bottles/cans) available. Overall, just not a quality meal for the $80 spent. read more

Taqueria Los Comales has been one of our favorite spots for over a decade, and we'll continue to be loyal customers. If you can, pay in cash to save on the credit card fees. I always order for pick-up, and they have never once gotten an order wrong. They always include plenty of salsa, pickled jalapeños, and limes. They never skimp on the sides, which I truly appreciate because that's getting harder to find these days. Service is always quick and friendly. We love their tortas, tacos, burritos, cebollitas, and their horchata. If you're dining in, I definitely recommend enjoying your meal with a cold Corona, plus you get chips and salsa at the table. There's nothing better than genuine Mexican tacos and an ice-cold beer. We drive all the way from the north suburbs just for the tacos here. Totally worth it every time. read more

La verdad me decepcionó esta visita a Los Cómalés. Hace años que no iba al restaurante, pero esta vez quise regresar y la experiencia no fue buena. El menudo estaba totalmente desabrido, sin sabor, y las salsas también necesitan mucha mejora. A veces parece que los dueños o los gerentes pierden la noción de dar seguimiento a la comida. Yo sé que hay meseras con más de veinte años trabajando ahí, deberían pedirles a ellas que prueben el producto todos los días, no de vez en cuando. Especialmente si no hay recetas claras, o si las hay, deberían asegurarse de que los cocineros las sigan al pie de la letra, porque con el tiempo se hacen flojos y la calidad baja mucho. Ojalá pongan atención a estos detalles, porque Los Cómalés tiene historia y tradición, pero sin constancia en los sabores, la experiencia se pierde. read more

My man and I decided to grab dinner here Friday night. The location was nice and had its own parking lot which made things easier, not to mention it was nice and spacious inside. We picked a table and our waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink so we ordered two large Jamaicas because I noticed they don't serve water when you first sit down so that was a negative for me. I ordered the lengua taco dinner and my man got 6 Al pastor tacos. The portion was nice and came with rice, beans and a side salad. I didn't really enjoy the lengua because it was really bland and boring. We were both full nonetheless but I think the tacos are tiny. I'd still come back on a late night. read more

Taqueria Los Comales - Taco Dinner Lengua Taco - Mexican Near Me - Niles, Illinois

My husband and I have been here several times and have generally been pretty satisfied with the food and service. Unfortunately, our most recent visit didn't live up to our past experiences. We ordered six tacos--carne asada, chorizo, and lengua--but none of them were up to par this time. The chorizo was overly oily, the carne asada was a bit dry, and the lengua just wasn't appetizing. Also worth mentioning--the menus were noticeably dirty, which took away from the overall dining experience. We're hoping this was just an off day, as we've had much better visits in the past. read more

LC is just one of those go-to places for tacos for me. I really enjoy their steak and especially their Al Pastor tacos. Their Al Pastor doesn't come with chopped bits of pineapple and it's still delicious without. My only gripe is how tiny their tacos are. Probably 3 bites and you're done. But, they use quality and fresh tortillas which makes every bite feel like a fluffy pillow in between your teeth. The flavors are on 10 and I just keep coming back for more overpriced tiny tacos. Still-Very delicious! P.S...I still hate their parking lot. read more

We usually go to the Los comales in the city, and we like it. Just so happened we're in Niles, so we decided to come here for dinner. We go the Al pastor tortas dinner, and 3 tacos (cecina, el pastor, birria) The food just didn't taste the same , the meat was really greasy, the Al pastor was really dry like you're eating crumbs, burnt ends. The only one that's good is Prbly the Cecina taco. The tortas was okay. Service wasn't bad, but the food just wasn't on par to other Los comales. read more

there isn't any enchiladas in this restaurant the service was quick. the bathrooms were clean. the toilet was clogged.

Nightmare I think there serving spoiled meat The smell and taste was like no other steak I have eaten read more

I ate at the restaurant for the first time and it's a very chill location with lots of space. This time, I ordered the tripas (crispy), cecina taco, and camaron taco. I didn't realize how small they are, so they're a bit pricey for $2.50. But it's ok to me. Taste-wise, I did like the tripas tacos. They were a bit too fried and completely crispy, but they tasted fine. The cecina taco was ok too, not great, not bad, but just average. It didn't really have much flavor, so I added the hot sauces and the complimentary salsa to give it a kick. The shrimp taco surprised me! It was pretty filled and pieces of shrimp were falling out as I bit into it. The shrimp was seasoned and was covered with shredded cabbage and an aioli sauce. I thought it was the most worth it out of all the tacos I ordered. As for the atmosphere and staff. All staff were wearing masks and were very friendly. I liked that they came around just enough times to check on me and my friend, but also gave a lot of space where we could sit and talk. The environment gave me more like a whole-in-the-wall vibe, so it was nothing fancy. The tables and seating were decently clean. I would go back with friends to eat here because it's so close. It's not the best or my favorite taco joint, but for the suburbs, it's alright. read more

I usually order carry out from here and eat at home with my family but this time, I went here for lunch and it is unbeatable. Such great flavors every time. The birria was amazing I think it's a new menu item because I've never had it from here before and I loved it, came out with the consomé too. I love the green salsa. Service is always kind and quick which I love. Was not super busy but we went on a week day during the lunch time so as expected. Have been coming for my whole childhood, will continue to come back. read more

Food was amazing and the service was friendly. Got a steak taco dinner and Al pastor tacos they hit the spot .

My parents live very close by. Decided to stop here after a very brief visit after not eating here in many many years. I started of with the the chips and salsa as always when you visit a Mexican restaurant. What i enjoy about this place is the spicy picked vegetables they have at each table. These are great additions to chips and your meal. I ordered the chicken burrito. Let me tell you, they do not skimp on the chicken. They load it up! The taste was great. Not like other burritos where they add rice. This one includes chicken, beans, cheese, lettuce tomatoes, sour cream and avocados. The size was decent as I was only able to finish half of it. Dining in was not too busy. But the kitchen was working non stop with carry out orders. I mean customers were coming in to pick up what appeared to be every other minute. They were attentive to my requests even though they were prepping carry out orders. Try this place if you happen to be in Niles. read more

I was craving Mexican and ordered Los Comales for lunch delivery not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I ordered a steak burrito with rice and beans, marinated chicken quesadilla, chips & salsa, and an horchata. First, everything was packaged with care and consideration. They included ample napkins, utensils, and hot sauces. Bonus points, they even included Mexican giardiniera! Next, the food was fresh, tasted great and was perfectly seasoned. Might be a new favorite Mexican joint. Looking forward to visiting in person sometime and trying more items on the menu! read more

Hands down my favorite place to come to to get Mexican food. The food is absolutely delicious and tastes as authentic as can be (according to my knowledge as a nonMexican). The service is always spot on. They get the order right Every time and accommodate any last minute changes. I have never sat in to eat; as always take it to go but every time I walk in the restaurant seems to be clean, spacious, and comfortable. read more

This is a chain, nothing special about it. The wait staff didn't care to give opinions on menu items. The steak in the burrito was of a very poor quality. There are plenty of other family run places to go for tacos and burritos. read more

Ever since they relocated, the service has gone down hill. The menu has gotten smaller. The inside servers are usually pretty kind. The drive through staff is awful. They rush you and have no customer service. The girl with the glasses is beyond rude. If she hates her job so much, she should just quit. This has happened multiple times so obviously it's not a one time thing. read more

Catering was amazing!!! We order chicken fajitas and it was the best fajitas. They were friendly and helpful. Thank you comales! Everyone loved the food! read more

Food flavor/taste 3.5/5.0 Food portion size 4.5/5.0 Size/ Value for money 4.0/5.0 Service 4.75/5.0 Ambience 4.0/5.0 Ordered chicken and steak fajitas. Plenty of veggies cooked well. Better if meat and veggies served on cast iron skillet. Flour tortillas were excellent and plentiful. Free chips and salsa and pickled vegetables. Overall, we were all satisfied but not likely to go back anytime soon. I'd recommend less dry chicken and steak. read more

First time coming here and my group ordered the tacos plate with 20 tacos and a pitcher of horchata for $37. Had the lengua and carne asada tacos. Plenty of parking in a private lot. Would definitely recommend! read more

4 stars because tacos took a long time to come out (25+min) with no updates from the waitress. Really great tacos (shrimp/camarones, steak/carne asada or vecina, pork/Al pastor), reasonable prices (about $3.25/taco) and friendly service, but you can wait for a while on busy days such as Sunday afternoons. read more

I used to live by the Pilsen location and was a frequent customer. This one may be even better! You have to try the tacos de cecina...unbelievable! read more

If I had written a review prior to Covid I probably would've been inclined to rate Los Comales 3 stars but we have been getting some really good food and service consistently during the pandemic. I have tried other places but I think Los Comales tastes the best all around and the prices are reasonable. Our usual order is the taco dinner entree with steak and pork, steak burrito, guac, salsa and chips and a large horchata. No one else makes horchata like they do! It's milky and just the right amount of cinnamon. I also like how they add the pickled veggies that go so well with the tacos and burritos. Also I'm not sure if the recipe changed for their rice but it has been so flavorful! Whatever they are doing they need to keep it up because I don't want mexican food from anywhere else! Tip: Order ahead online. I would give it about 30 minutes before orders are ready. Also, you have to get their chips and salsa. The salsa has a good kick and flavorful! read more

Always a hit with the food. Quick and good service , food is tasty and reasonably priced!

Spend $1500 on taco plate, tacos are 3 miniature tacos, half the size of a normal taco. Not a good value. Restaurant should disclose this. Sticking it to the customer. Go somewhere else read more

Trash service via Uber eats, that is all I can comment on. DO NOT ORDER HERE VIA UBER EATS. My order preparation time kept getting delayed 10 mins over the course of an hour and then I finally cancelled it, yet they tried to charge me for the full order as "they were preparing my order" (even though it was over an hour of delays) . This is a scam restaurant via Uber eats- please don't waste your time or money as the food will never come and they will still try to charge you, thankfully Uber eats refunded me. read more

Not authentic, flavorless steak. Best part was chips and salsa. Not even worth a star.

Pretty solid food. I'm a vegetarian so I usually get the vegetarian burrito with salsa and chips of course! Reasonable prices as well. Something to note: wait times are usually unpredictable because i've had times where the order has been ready for awhile and sometimes i've had to wait an extra 15-20 mins after arriving there to pick up an online order. read more

I love this place for tacos or traditional Mexican dishes. Leave room for the churros!!!

It's the only Comales on the northwest side. The food is solid although they do not offer everything that the other, farther south, Comales restaurants offer. I'm sure it has to do with the clientele. But what they do offer is very tasty. The service at this location can be very slow sometimes. Today when we went it was over 15 min before they even acknowledged us at our table. Overall, for good tacos, Comales hits the spot. read more

The meat is flavorless and too greasy. I tried steak, pastor and Tripa. the tripa was so hard to chew and it barely had meat. I've had tripa at other restaurants and it's not like this. I had to stop eating my tacos because it instantly started making my stomach hurt of how greasy they were. read more

It's sad I loved this place but went on a Saturday when it's busy. My chicken was cold and hard, the fish tacos gave my fiancé food poisoning because it wasn't cooked enough.. salty and sanitation should always be first... no excuse 165^ read more

I love Los Comales for late night eats! The waitresses here are always nice and speedy. They also give you chips and salsa before your food arrives and you can always ask for refills! Pickled veggies are also provided for those who want to add an extra kick of flavor to their food. I would highly recommend their lengua, al pastor, and carne asada tacos. Also, horchata is delicious, can't help but get a large every time I come! read more

I've came here once before maybe 4-5 years ago. Remember this place being the hyped placed to go to for Mexican cuisine. Remember only getting the burritos here. I came here today and ordered 1 order of Carne Asada plate to share with my girlfriend. I'm very happy with the server splitting the meal into two plates when I told her we were just sharing 1 meal. The meal was terrible. Carne Asada was thinner than paper. The marinade was definitely not good, or none the less only marinated for a short amount of time. The rice definitely changed the last time I was here. I don't think it was worth $21 for this meal. Very disappointed when comparing this to Uncle Julio's $30 Carne Asada plate. Not sure about other menu items, I'll stick with Burrito House next door. read more

Authentic, fresh, and delicious Mexican food. Everything is great. The horchata is a little too sweet, but still good. They have plain churros that my kids love. read more
