Mexicaans Restaurant El Comal in Wijk 05 Brunssum-Centrum

Went here for dinner yesterday on our sister's recommendation; very cozy with a nice interior and atmosphere, and the food is very good. The meat is top-notch and plentiful, and the salads and fruit are fresh. For us, this is a keeper and we will be making a reservation again soon.

Eating here for the first time, but certainly not the last what a cozy restaurant, wonderfully friendly and knowledgeable staff, the dishes we chose were more than tasty. The portion size is a bit more expensive than McDonald's but you won't leave here hungry, we got a doggie bag to take home, and I checked the bill twice assuming they had forgotten to put half on the receipt. We will be coming back here. I highly recommend this place.

Super cozy inside, friendly service and delicious food, what more could a man want?

Very tasty food and a nice atmosphere.

The food is really delicious, and there is a lot of choice too. The portions are large, and if you can't finish it, you can simply take it home. Reheated the next day, it is still very tasty. You also always get plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables on the side, and it is a feast for the eyes because it is served so beautifully. The staff is always very friendly. The restaurant itself is cozy and looks very inviting with all those colors.

Good food, nice portions, cozy decor, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Highly recommended if you are just looking for something different...

Very cozy restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. What more could you ask for! We ate here several times during our vacation, so I think that says enough.

Everything was delicious! I'll be back! I recommend it to everyone!!! Excellent service!! The portions are large, and you have to take your food with you 😍😍👍 Always wonderful 😀

Great, I really enjoyed my meal.

Charming restaurant with a huge selection of Mexican dishes, each one delicious. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

What delicious food is served here. And the portions are so large that a starter isn't necessary. Favorite place to eat. However, there are sometimes large, noisy groups, which makes it a bit less cozy.

Delicious food, though combined with a starter, it was a bit too much.

Cozy Mexican atmosphere. Delicious food, and whatever you don't finish, you can simply take home in a doggy bag. The staff is incredibly friendly, just like the host Peter.

Super nicely decorated, but more importantly... the food is delicious and the service is top-notch.

Update: Everything's been great for 24 years!!! Best Mexican restaurant!

Delicious food. Be sure to reserve in advance.

Congratulations, I highly recommend them! 10/10 is my rating 👏👌🎯

What a surprise. Very cozy and atmospheric Mexican restaurant. Service very friendly and helpful. Food truly amazing. The fajita is highly recommended. Large portions with exquisite flavor. Highly recommended!

First time here for our wedding day. Super friendly staff and super delicious food.

The food was delicious! The restaurant is nicely decorated and the staff are very friendly!

Had a delicious meal, cozy restaurant, excellent service

Super food, very tasty. Very friendly, nice, positively crazy boss. Very friendly. Good and very friendly service. Nothing is too much trouble. Super food. Best cocktails in all of Limburg. Special ice for a friend's birthday. Best restaurant in all of Limburg! Absolutely amazing! Super beautiful, atmospheric decor. Many beautiful spots. Completely in Latino style. We sat on a beautiful Ibiza-style terrace. Come one, come all to Best Restaurant. This is an honest, straightforward review from me, Kathy. Super honest customer!

Everything was truly perfect! Delicious food, incredibly friendly service. The owner is always ready for a nice chat. The waitresses are all very skilled, friendly, and nice... everything perfect!!!

What a super nice restaurant!!!! The food was good, and especially plentiful. We were very satisfied with everything!!! We will definitely come back here again.

Very cozy and atmospheric restaurant with a real Mexican theme. Wide selection and the food is fantastic.

We reserved a table in advance and then had to wait 30 minutes to be told that our table is still not ready, while other people without reservation got served! No apologies etc! Never again!

Despite a reservation for 6 people, after waiting for half an hour there was still no table available and we left dejectedly. Thanks for ruining our weekend.

Had a delicious meal and very friendly staff. You don't have to worry about going home hungry. And if there is any food left over, they pack it up nicely for you so you can enjoy it again the next day.

It's not what it used to be!!! I always loved the redfish with some kind of coconut/tomato sauce. I ordered it a few times. First, they didn't have it. The next time I ordered, I got something else without asking (it happens, NOT). The last time I was there, I ordered the redfish again and got a different fish!!! That fish was full of bones; I literally had one in every bite (and that's not an exaggeration). If you can't serve something anymore, take it off the menu. That's no way to treat customers. The service has also deteriorated; you hardly see them all evening. And another thing: the spare ribs are not recommended. They're very dry, as if they've been microwaved. Too bad, I've enjoyed going there for over 25 years.

Great food, thank you very much

Delicious Mexican restaurant with a wide selection. The atmosphere and ambiance are great. Very popular in Brunssum.

Delicious food. Our experience compared to 12 years ago has definitely improved.

Always a good welcome and pleasantly busy and ideal for a group or just for two and quality food

Really good! LOTS! We're big eaters, but this is really great! We were perhaps a bit out of the way, and sometimes it took a while to order drinks...but we were super satisfied.

Super cozy and delicious food. Friendly staff. Exactly what you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant. We'll definitely be back!

Food too much for me personally but delicious, recommended for everyone.

The food was delicious. But the portions were huge. Highly recommended, especially for big eaters.

Delicious food and definitely worth a visit. Reservations recommended.

A cozy, somewhat dark restaurant with a Mexican feel and a warm atmosphere. We ordered a platter and finished with dessert. The food was delicious and, above all, plentiful. Absolutely not overpriced for what was served by the extremely friendly staff.

Wonderful, relaxed Mexican atmosphere. Delicious, but especially a lot of food. You can take leftovers home. Super friendly staff. And affordable...

Great experience, delicious food (vegan and gluten-free was no problem :)), good surroundings and a very hospitable owner and team!

Well, a highly recommended revisit. I hadn't been there in several years. It certainly wasn't disappointing. Generous portions, good quality, varied with plenty of toppings where needed (fries, sauces). It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. Top-notch.

We had a fantastic meal at this restaurant. Following the recommendations of the friendly staff, we ordered a generous appetizer and two main courses instead of three. Everything was delicious and more than enough. Highly recommended, and... we'll definitely be back.

We had a wonderful evening. The food was excellent and delicious. The staff was friendly.

Very good, had a wonderful evening. With Very good and delicious food. Staff friendly.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere. Unique restaurant in the area. Reservations are recommended. Many other flavors have discovered this lovely spot! 😉

Super nice restaurant, with a real Mexican atmosphere. The portions are huge and delicious. The two of us struggled to finish a third of the platter for two because there was so much food on it. You get to take everything home. Excellent value for money, and if you love Mexican food, it's a must!

We enjoyed a delicious and generous portion of the sanchez platter. It was so delicious. Excellent value for money, great service.

Had spare ribs. They were good, not exceptional, but good.

Great place, amazing cozy design, extreme amount of portions. I totally recommend it! The waitresses are also kind.

From service to food, absolutely top-notch. Highly recommended.

We've been here twice now. Delicious food, nice atmosphere, very friendly staff, you can really taste the Mexican dishes. By the way, a little tip: if you plan to eat here, go on a diet two days beforehand, because if you leave hungry, something's not right. Enjoy your meal!

As always, delicious food and excellent Margarita's with great service

The food here is truly delicious. The enchiladas are a favorite. I've never had such delicious ones. The homemade garlic sauce is also superb. And all for a good price. The only downside is that the wooden chairs aren't very comfortable. A cushion would do wonders.

What a beautiful interior design. You'll feel like you're in Mexico, with the music to match. The platter for two with meat, beans, fries, and fruit was far too much, but incredibly delicious, and the corn soup as an appetizer was also wonderful. The service was very friendly, and the owner even chatted with his customers.

Everything was perfect. Food was amazing and portions were really big. For sure I will come back.

The best steak I've ever eaten. Interesting atmosphere. The prices are high, but so is the quality of the steaks. I definitely recommend a real steak.

Various Mexican meat dishes, as well as enchiladas, tortillas, etc. Large portions, friendly staff, and a cozy atmosphere—definitely worth a visit for a family dinner or group outing in Parkstad.

It’s the best Mexican restaurant I’ve ever been. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. The crew are awesome, the chef and the owner. Polite people. Definitely recommend it.

A super cozy restaurant with delicious Mexican food. It was my birthday, and at the end, they came to our table with delicious ice cream with a fountain on top and started singing for me. I'd never experienced anything like this before. I thought it was super special, and it really enhanced the specialness of my birthday. I think it's amazing!! Thank you all for this special experience, which made my day even more special than it already was...👏👏👏👏👋🥳❤️

Today we went to El Comal for the first time because we'd heard from several people that it was supposed to be a good restaurant. Well, that wasn't a lie. On the recommendation of friends, we tried a platter for two, choosing the "Cancun." Suddenly, a platter appeared that made me wonder if it wasn't for more people... Lots of delicious meat, Mexican fries, rice, beans in a delicious sauce, corn, a tortilla wrap with vegetables, fruit—the large plate was completely filled with delicious treats. When we finished, we felt more than full; the food was delicious and definitely worth going back. I only found the meat on the skewer a little dry, but it was delicious. Next time, we'll try a different platter for two 😉

Always a pleasant experience and delicious food, usually even taking a box home for the next day!

What delicious food and friendly staff. The owner is always up for a chat.

Fantastic and cozy restaurant with great staff and fantastic food. Best Mexican restaurant in all of Limburg!! I'm going back next Saturday, for about the fifth time. I love watching Gordon Ramsay, and he always says it's bad to have too many dishes on your menu, but that's not true at El Comal: the selection is enormous, and you always get delicious food for a very reasonable price!

Delicious and cozy restaurant! However, we ordered shared platters, and the menu said: "served with Mexican fries." Once home, however, we discovered that these portions of fries were simply billed separately, and we paid extra for them. It's a shame, and not entirely fair.

Simply a wonderful evening of delicious food at a great price! And something for everyone! From quesadillas to enchiladas, quesadas, fajitas, steak, and vegetarian options. Seriously, if you can't decide, it's not the menu! The portions are more than generous; we even took two doggy bags home! But there's always room for dessert, too. Here too, there's a wide selection of ice cream sundaes, baked tortillas with fruit, chocolate mousse, or a delicious coffee or tea.

Very cozy interior, you feel like you are in another country as soon as you walk in. Food is also good. The portions are huge. Friendly service too.

Nice place, atmospheric interior and the service is great! And let's not forget the food, super tasty

Food was good and portions are really big! Service is also friendly.

Very good food and loved the Mexican decor. Very welcoming staff.

Delicious Mexican food in a beautiful, atmospheric restaurant.

Was looking forward to having Mexican but disappointed with the food itself. It’s not Mexican but more so what a European thinks Mexican might be. If you wanna save money, just google “Authentic Mexican” and then make that at home instead.

Fantastic! Always a party (and delicious food) ❤️

A really nice place with amazing ambiance. Cozy and dimly lit, friendly staff and plenty of food. No one left hungry ;). The food was amazing. The staff was a bit swamped. Several of our requests were forgotten by the staff, like a drinking glass, cutlery etc. For this reason a star off of the service category.

Super tasty, very large portions.

Had a great meal, as a starter I had the nachos, and calamaris both delicious. as a main course I had the ribeye 350gr. Served with corn, beans, and rice. It was very tasty. It only took a bit too long and I missed some Mexican music, instead of the radio. But it was worth it. We will definitely come back.

Super cozy/special environment, nice staff and the food was great, there were 3 of us and all 3 dishes were delicious, we will definitely go back

Delicious food. Deliciously spiced Mexican dishes. Generous portions.

Top service, the nicest restaurant I've been to. Friendly staff and owners. The toilet is downstairs, so it is difficult for the disabled. Everything was good and tasty. Highly recommended

Nice meal. Personally, I found the meat a bit on the dry side. But beautifully presented, rich dish. Everything tasted great. Cozy atmosphere, nice surroundings

Everything great!!! only the bird is too sad in the cage (has plucked himself bald) and is not needed for anything! Belongs in a large aviary with other conspecifics. Hopefully they do something with this because other than that I am very satisfied with the restaurant!!! Please save the bird!

Nice restaurant Typical Mexican Delicious food

Highly recommended. Delicious food. Cozy atmosphere. Nice staff. And a nice price. So worth repeating. Until next time .😃🤌👍

NOT MEXICAN. My husband and I recently moved to Brunssum and had been wanting to try this place. However, we were quite disappointed from start to finish. We had to find someone to tell us where to sit. We finally talked to one of the servers who told us to sit in one of the tables near the front door. As soon as I was about to sit, another server came out of nowhere, placed his hand on the chair as I was about to sit and said the table was reserved and that we had to sit closest to the door. That server made a point tell us that it was because we didn’t have reservations that we had to take that table. It took approximately 20min to get someone to come to the table to hand us the food menu and immediately asked what we wanted to drink without having seen a drink menu. From the moment we sat down to the moment we received and finished our starter and had only had 1 drink, 1hr had already lapsed. We waited and waited for the server to bring our mains or at least ask if we wanted more drinks. Finally, when the food came, I was expecting Mexican food. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t Mexican. Everything came at different times.The guacamole is not made in house, it’s what you’d get from the grocery store. Fajitas? I got a stir fry with 80% vegetables that did not have any of the staple ingredients from a Mexican dish. My husband who got the “American Tacos” which did not even resemble half of what a texmex taco would look or taste like. May I point out, this is the only taco selection on their mains. They don’t do substitutions for their sides (rice and beans) and the beans were terribly undercooked. There were too many unnecessary ingredients given in a tower for the fajitas. Pineapple? Cucumbers? Olives? Nowhere on the menu did they have Al Pastor Tacos so why the pineapple? Mexican food does not need to be complicated. We paid €85 and left about 60% of the meal. Being Latinx, I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt, but it disappointed. My suggestion is that if you require reservations, please make that more overt and staff appropriately if you know you have a high influx of customers which would solve some of the complaints regarding time. A restaurant needs more than just servers, how about a hostess? Ah! And please, it’s “Bienvenidos” not “Bien Venidos”, you may need to proofread your menu.

Like old times! Delicious food again.

It was a nice evening. Food was good and tasty.

Delicious meal with family and friends. Recommended.

Super tasty food and very friendly staff. The portions are generous, so you certainly won't go home hungry! Highly recommended!

Super cozy interior Friendly staff Tasty food

Really enjoyed the food here. The portions were generous and everything was tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant. Music contributed to a nice ambiance. Staff were friendly!

I went here last night with my family of 16 people. Because we were with a large group it also took a little longer, which I understand. We also received large portions and ate well. Definitely recommended.

Cozy authentic Mexican atmosphere. Extensive menu and generous portions. Very good food and very high price quality. Highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal with the four of us.

Food delicious and service friendly.

I had skewered El Comal. Large but all dry meat. Not juicy unfortunately, it tasted good to me The garnish took up half the plate. Really unnecessary. Will I come back? No

Yesterday we had another delicious meal at El Comal. The owner and staff are friendly and really pay attention to their guests. The portions are certainly in proportion to what you pay. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy. We will eat here more often. Oh yes, not to forget, thanks to the owner about the bird: he is not pathetic or unhealthy. He is now 24 years old and has plenty of room, beauty comes from within. We can confirm that he still flies around happily and chatters a lot hihi.

Delicious food, large portions, nice and friendly staff and a friendly welcome. Al. Very good for years, recommended!

Beautiful restaurant with friendly and pleasant service. The owners are also very friendly. And especially the food is delicious. Spare ribs are great.

Large portions for a small price.

Always delicious food, prepared with care in a cozy atmosphere.
