I took a group of 9 people and enjoyed a great happy hour and a fabulous service. The drinks were nicely made and presented and the main dishes are tasty . I was pleased to find a nice restaurant in o small town . 👍👍”
“A huge thank you to Comida Cantina for generously donating a tres leches cake to my class! The cake was absolutely incredible—so rich and flavorful—and the students couldn’t get enough of it. The service was exceptional as well. We’re so grateful for your kindness and community spirit!”
“I highly recommend this restaurant! They have the best mexican food! Everything I ordered came very quickly! I had empanadas, shrimp tacos and ensalada primavera .Very delicious and full of flavour! For dessert I ordered their coffee flan cake ,and I loved it!”
“We hosted my friend’s large bridal shower here and I can’t say enough good things. Service was perfection, for the first time in forever I didn’t feel like I had to do/plan anything. We ordered the food/drinks, dropped off some party decor and Jamie and her team did the rest. It was so seemless and easy. The food was delicious, so were the drinks including mocktails. They set up everything, food was timed perfectly, decorated for us and even packed away the gifts. On top of everything else, the prices were fair and we had the whole restaurant to ourselves including the rooftop. I can’t recommend hosting an event here enough! Thank you so much for making this such an easy, enjoyable day!”
“Really cool and inviting atmosphere. We loved all of our appetizers (we got the empanadas and esquites) and the tres leches cake for dessert was fantastic. I got the tacos and enjoyed them, and the chile relleno was very good as well. Shout out to our kind and amazing server Jamie who was very quick to fix it when I was brought one of the wrong tacos!”
“We had an amazing server, Dana, which contributed to our great evening at Comida. Thank you Dana!”
“Fun place on Central Street to have drinks and tasty Mexican and Latin American food.”
“We had an awesome Easter 🐣 brunch at Comida. The food was great, the staff was awesome, very attentive and friendly. I would highly recommend going there for any occasion. I always have a great experience when dining there.The Easter brunch buffet was a treat. I can’t wait to sit on the rooftop when it’s open and sip. Margarita doesn’t have tacos. Thanks for the great experience.”
“Fabulous food, service and ambiance. Great happy hour as well!”
“Love the new location. Easier to find parking. Cheerful decor and plenty of seating. Food always delicious. Personal preference to have men and women's restroom rather than unisex. Had carryout this time. Order ready as indicated. Will definitely be back to dine in.”
