Mexicaans Restaurant El Comal in Wijk 05 Brunssum-Centrum

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!

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!

Super cozy interior Friendly staff Tasty food

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.

The food was really terrible and not edible... Really a shame. The shop itself is really beautiful (except for the poor little bird🥺) The staff and the boss were really nice and tried hard, but we're really sick right now 😵‍💫 What was nice was that I didn't have to eat or pay for the canned mushrooms and canned fish... What a shame...

I have been coming to El Comal for years, especially for the delicious steaks, and this evening my father and I were really looking forward to being pampered at El Comal again. After we got our drinks I asked about the chips with dip that you get as standard. "After you order" it said. Ok, we were chatting for a while with our drinks, so waiting for the chips is no problem. A little later the same waitress came by to take our order. We were still in full conversation, menu cards open, and said we hadn't made a choice yet. A little later another waitress came and again we were not ready to order. Soon afterwards we had made our decision and the menu cards were placed close to the corner of our table so that the staff could see that we were ready to order. Then it took and took before someone came along again. Eventually a waitress comes by with drinks for another table and walks past us with the empty glasses. I tell her that we are ready to order. "I'll be right with you" is the answer. Then the original waitress comes and takes the order at another table next to us, to which I say; Excuse me, we are also ready to order and the response was "I will be with you shortly". Then I was done with it and asked for the bill. The staff then suddenly asked what was wrong and claimed to have been to our table 4 times, but it was once this waitress and once another, after which they made us wait extra long and then first took another table even though I had already indicated. be ready to order. A HUGE bad service today, and a ruined evening. Waitress ladies, please learn how the catering industry works because this was crazy

Had dinner here on a Monday after a refreshing shower. Glad we made a reservation because it was busy. Delicious Mexican food and friendly service.

Atmospheric restaurant with a very large choice of Mexican dishes, all of which are delicious. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended!

Extraordinary! Very attractively decorated restaurant. Nice service and especially the owner himself. Very generous portions of very good quality. We had a wonderful meal for over 2 ½ hours and never had the idea that we had to "go away". Highly recommended if you are in the area, make sure to make a reservation.

Super delicious food with great service. The ambience is right. Great selection of food and drinks. We were completely satisfied. Definitely coming back

During the holidays we treated ourselves to dinner with friends again. And where better to do that than at El Comal. Tasty, cozy and always with excellent service. It was fun again.

Very cozy and lots of colors, just like a Mexican cantina

Sorry, but this was a big NoGo, went in without a reservation a few weeks ago and were sent away, not so bad, our own mistake FULL IS FULL, now I made a reservation 1 week in advance and reserved my wife's favorite table for her birthday. owner arranged it would be fine the round table at the bar unfortunately on arrival table forgiven said that this was for my birthday wife, owner due to his mistake didn't even wish me congratulations or offered a drink for the mistake nothing at all I say this really can't eat stays there good As for drinks, order a Mexican beer and get a Spanish beer put in front of me, even this was not straightened out, I just had to pay for it. As regular customers, we thank ourselves and they will not see us again for a while.

Great, been there 2nd time. Nice people, nice atmosphere. Top food.

Once again delicious and more than enough food. Very friendly service, cozy atmosphere and good value for money.

The food was delicious and the staff was very child-friendly

Delicious food! Highly recommended!

A very nice experience, super friendly service and delicious and lots of food 😍😍. We received good advice from Peter on what to order. The first time at the Mexican was definitely worth repeating 👌👌. We really ate too much 😀😀 because it was so tasty.

Food tasty but a bit greasy. We will be back!

Very good Mexican-oriented restaurant! Nicely decorated inside, just a bit too dark for my taste and the wooden chairs are not the most comfortable to sit on either. The food (the most important of course) is really good and fresh! From the homemade dips to the very extensive main courses, there was literally nothing that didn't taste good. You rarely find the size of the portions so generous in restaurants, a really big plus! The prices are also more than reasonable. Unfortunately, there is one point of criticism: the service could really be a bit more alert. We sat for half an hour before the drinks were taken.

The service is very long. The quantity of dishes is the same for 1 for 2. The prices are not justified at all.

Delicious food in generous portions, but the first 3 tables are not conveniently placed. At the entrance everyone walks past your table, sometimes even exuberantly, making it difficult to have a conversation with your table guests, and at the third table everyone who comes in announces that they have been assigned a table.

Well, what can I say about it. The interior is outdated, we sat on rather uncomfortable wooden chairs without cushion or backrest and it was cold; the cold rose from the floor. It took a long time for anyone to come for drinks and even longer - almost an hour - for the food to arrive. That's called: the meat. The side dishes arrived (rice, corn and fries) when the meat was almost gone, despite us asking for it before. By the way, it was virtually impossible to order a drink during that hour of waiting. The rice turned out to be cold, the fries were fried in old fat, so we left both alone. The staff we saw were only young girls. We won't be back there again.

What a wonderful evening out if you eat here. Good atmosphere. Friendly staff and the food is delicious and certainly not too little.

Great Mexican restaurant. With a fantastic owner couple.

Ate here with 5 people. The environment was nice, the food was good. The downside was the service, very young, inexperienced. Forgot to serve the side dishes (beans, rice and corn). After asking twice, we finally got some fries, which we also ordered separately. had to pay. We were accused of having complained earlier and then the waitress must have misunderstood. This is not possible for me and it is therefore not worth repeating.

Good service, tasty food and enough!

Good food, with very generous portions. There is still room for improvement in the service, waiting a long time for drinks and not coming to the table to ask questions.

Probably because we were seated near the door because we didn't have a reservation. Too bad that many better places remained empty. So mixed feelings about this

We had dinner here on a Sunday evening for the first time and we received a friendly welcome. I would advise to make a reservation given how busy it is! We were 4 adults! We had a nice meal but you get large portions. The staff is also up for a joke

Nice restaurant! My family had the opportunity to eat here together during my transition to first grade. That 350gr tenderloin steak was delicious! Good old good times.

Very cozy restaurant, had dinner here with family during a weekend away, the atmosphere in the restaurant was very cozy and pleasant with a clearly Mexican theme and music. We had chosen a number of dishes in advance to share, much tastier and certainly not too much to eat beforehand. There was a very wide choice of main courses from vegetarian to meat and dishes for 2 people to share. You will certainly get enough to eat here because there are some really large dishes. We were quite full so didn't get around to desserts, but they will undoubtedly be very tasty too. This was definitely recommended and recommended to everyone because of the good price-quality ratio!

Eaten well. Lots of meat and other dishes. It was quite cold in the restaurant. Not exactly a nice table in a passage. We had to wait a long time for the waitress

Good food, nice atmosphere, friendly service

Erg lekker gegeten, helaas niet alles op gekregen. Tip: bedenk goed of je wel een voorgerecht moet nemen, porties zijn erg groot. Was alleen jammer dat de temperatuur binnen erg laag was, is niet fijn als je tijdens het eten zit te koukleumen op ijskoude stoelen.

Het eten is hier echt fantastisch. Beter vind je niet hier in de buurt.

Heerlijk gegeten!! Waren er met het werk dus weet de kosten niet maar iedereen was tevreden!

Heerlijk gegeten in een gezellige ambiance en topppp advies omtrent de keuze welke lastig was👍

Eten is heerlijk. En zeer leuke sfeer in het restaurant.

Fijn mexicaans restaurant.gevarieerd aanbod.Prima verzorgd eten.Zeer vriendelijke bediening.Deskundig. Reserveren is nodig. Aan te bevelen voor een prettige voedzame avond.parkeerplaats op enige afstand aanwezig.

Sfeervol ingericht, lekker eten en vriendelijk personeel. Echter wel een minpunt te noemen dat anders aangepakt moet worden, anders verliezen jullie klanten. Op zaterdagavond gegeten, 19.45u aan tafel met 6 volwassenen. Aperitief, voorgerecht hoofdgerecht en drankjes. Na het hoofdgerecht kwam niemand vragen of we een dessert wilden er kwam ook niemand meer vragen of we nog iets wilden drinken. Toen we er zelf om vroegen (22.30u) was het niet meer mogelijk om nog een drankje te doen, de bar was gepoetst! Gevraagd of de eigenaar nog in de buurt was, maar nee die was boven en bezig. Dus m.a.w. we willen eigenlijk dat jullie nu oprotten. Tip, al gaan wij niet meer terugkomen. Kondig aan dat een laatste drankje te bestellen is omdat de zaak gaat sluiten, probleem opgelost en geen ontevreden klanten.

Heel gezellig en leuke service. Prachtig interieur en heel gezellig op tafel, zo onze stijl. Goed verzorgd.

Eten was ok, Service was zeer slecht , moesten lang wachten op drinken , totaal niet geïnteresseerd in de klant , was koud binnen en muziek stond veel te hard.

The food is decent. Kinda pricy but it's tasty. The cocktails are buzzing.

Goed eten, echt lekker, vriendelijke bediening. Inrichting is gedateerd.

Er waren wat zieken in de bediening

Super eten, vriendelijk en mooi personeel, lekkere coctails.

Heel lekker authentieke gerechten. In een Mexicaanse sfeer. Ruime porties je gaat niet met honger naar huis. Prijs kwaliteit zeer goed , zeker een aanrader en een terugkomer.

Heerlijk gegeten, voorgerecht en hoofdgerecht. Zo lekker. Knap als je alles op krijgt! Bediening en eigenaars zijn zeer vriendelijk.

Lekker (veel) eten, waren qua service niet echt goed scherp bediening sprak niet onze taal en begreep vragen niet goed. En ik vond het jammer dat er dronken mensen waren.....creerde een rare sfeer.......

Het eten was heerlijk, ruim voldoende en de cocktails waren goed gemaakt voor een zeer goede prijs🍷💃🏻🍹🌮

Grote hoeveelheden heerlijk eten. Vriendelijke bediening!

Spędziliśmy wspaniały wieczór w świetnej atmosferze. Jedzenie było doskonałe, a personel bardzo miły.

Heerlijk Mexicaans restaurant. Vooral de knoflook saus, zo lekker. Echt een aanrader. Wel op reserveren.

We hadden niet gereserveerd, maar gelukkig hebben wij toch nog een tafeltje gekregen. Wij hadden een groente en een kip fajita. Allebei heerlijk! De maaltijd was ruim voldoende, terwijl ik best een flinke eter ben.

Heerlijk en veel eten. Je krijgt zeker waar voor je geld. Ook een goede bediening

Altijd zeer smakelijk en overmatig (doggiebag) hier gegeten in Mexicaanse sfeer, muziek stond alleen iets te luid.

Lekker gegeten en gedronken in heel gezellige mexicaanse sfeer! Zeker waar voor je geld.

The atmosphere was good and the service ok. Was hoping to have somewhat authentic food understanding we’re in the NL, however in my opinion it was too expensive when comparing it to the authenticity level. I would be happy paying what we paid if it was truly authentic. Service was good, however when we ask for a dish, they brought us wrong dish . Not once but a second time .

Heerlijk eten in een leuke sfeer. Vriendelijk personeel, grote porties. 1 glas 0,5L bier flink duurder dan 2 glazen 0,3L

Eten was lekker, alleen de airco stond wel fris in binnen plaats

Geweldige bediening en heerlijk eten. En niet te vergeten een hele gezellige eigenaar.

Het is altijd een genot om hier weer te komen eten. De eigenaar is echt iemand die echt vol passie dit restaurant runt. Het eten is altijd voorteffelijk. Ons favoriete restaurant.

Heerlijk gegeten! Goede porties Heerlijke toetjes Hoofdgerecht en toetje gegeten, prima prijs

Eten was van goede kwaliteit, alleen jammer dat ze geen gewone frieten hebben, ook niet voor kinderen. Of eten ze in Mexico alleen van die gedraaide aardappelen? Verder raad ik je aan een zaklamp mee te nemen om de menukaart te kunnen lezen. Wat ook jammer is, en niet alleen voor de klant maar óók voor hun, is dat ze niet voor een tweede keer kwamen vragen voor iets te drinken. Alleen maar toen we net zaten, daarna niet meer. Ze konden veel meer geld verdienen door veel vaker te vragen of iemand nog iets wil drinken of gewoon “of alles nog naar wens is”. Zéker een keuken met veel spicy gerechten zou juist vaker om drank moeten vragen. Gemiste kans! Verder wel zeer leuke bediening 😍
