COMAL is a gathering place located in Berkeley’s bustling Arts District, just north of the Downtown Berkeley BART Station. The restaurant is housed in a single-story building (circa 1927) and features a lush, secluded rear patio with a full bar, covered dining area, and al fresco beer garden with fire pit.

Executive Chef Matt Gandin creates earthy, modern interpretations of dishes from throughout Mexico, with emphasis on Oaxaca and neighboring coastal regions. We offer an “all-Mexican” list of craft cocktails, house-made sangritas paired with our curated collection of agave spirits, and a diverse selection of local beer and wine on tap.

Also please note that Comal charges a 20% service charge in lieu of tips.

They've got a great formula. Great margaritas and other Mexican drinks, excellent service, and food that is very good to excellent. It gets noisy as one moves into the back rooms, but it's not bad in front.

The food was very good - the service was exceptionally good, very fast and we were a “difficult” table. Excellent drinks, very fast; we ate on the patio for the first time and really enjoyed the ambiance!
