Their Chicken Enchiladas de Mole were absolutely incredible; my partner said that they were the best enchiladas he's ever had, and he is usually not the biggest fan of mole sauce. I agree; the chicken and cheese enchiladas simmered in the mole sauce really hit the spot and satisfied my appetite. I cannot wait to be back for more!The restaurant itself was large and spacious, with great service and beautiful decor. I look forward to returning.

I can see why this restaurant has been getting such high marks. It would have been a 5-stars from me- we ate here on a Wednesday night around 5:30pm. We were seated super fast, and the servers were quick to tend to our water, welcome us, and were ready to take our order whenever we were. Since we were the only ones in there, it was expected but that doesn't always mean you get attentive service, so we checked that box.The food was mixed. My wife and I both ordered their mole dishes, one green and one red. The green mole was delicious. The sauce was creamy, tasty, delivered good amount of freshness, salt and acidity and was really nice to eat along with the rice and beans. The rice and beans were typical. The pork in my mole that was tender was amazing but half the pork was as hard and dry as a rock. It kind of made me wonder if the pork was fresh. The cut was likely chunked pork butt, so it could have been that it was undercooked and didn't have enough time to tenderize yet? Not sure.Anyways, the red mole, this is supposed to be their pride and joy! Well, it was kind of weird. It didn't have the earthy, nutty and warm flavors I was expected. It's difficult to place what flavors I did have since nothing particularly stood out other than the fact that I felt it was more fruity than I'd expect. I liked it, the chicken was really good, tender, well cooked, but the mole was just okay. Not a traditional red mole at all and it didn't blow me away by any means.I did get to try the chile Relleno as well since it was another order at our table, it was super tasty. Don't have much else to say other than I enjoyed the flavor - it's not something I'd order since it doesn't have a protein.Overall, I enjoyed this meal and it's definitely some of the better Mexican I've had (in general, not just in SF) but it's not something I'd drop everything for. I'd wager some of the other dishes are likely very good judging from what I tasted, but their mole dishes are their flagship ones from what I understand and rating them purely on those, I'd give a 4/5.

Situated in the Mission District of SF, El Buen Comer offers delicious and authentic Mexican food. We went on a weekend night and did not have to wait to get seated. The ambiance of the whole place is so lively!We got the mole verde con pollo, rice and tortilla. Pretty sure the tortilla are house-made and they taste very good. The chicken is super juicy and tender and the mole is delicious.

Great place with colorful decor, fun ambiance, really amazing service, and delicious food and drinks. We appreciated all the size options for each dish. And we loved the pozole, puerco en mole verde, chicken tacos dorados, guacamole and chips, guava agua fresca, and coconut flan - which they surprised us with on the house as a birthday treat for our 17-yr-old!

Stopped by for Sunday brunch around 1pm. The restaurant was a bit busy but we were able to get seated immediately. They have a nice selection of cocktails and coffee drinks. The service was good as well. We ordered chips and guacamole + salsa to start. The guac was fresh and I enjoyed the trio of salsas. We also got the tacos dorados and mole con pollo (comes with 2 tortillas). Both of these dishes were delicious. My boyfriend loved the rich flavor of the mole. I ended up putting some guacamole on the tacos to take it up a notch. Plus, the portion size was good and we had leftovers to take home. The restaurant itself was lively and is definitely a nice place to have a boozy brunch with friends.

We happen to see that this restaurant was Michelin recommended so decided to give it a try. Service is good but the food itself is not quite prepared in a manner compared to food I've have in SoCal and Mexico. We got the Mole con Pollo and the Costillas de Puerco en Salsa Verde con Nopales. The red mole was much too sweet. The pork of the Costillas was a bit tough.Drinks-wise, we got the michelada which was quite bland compared to most places. The food isn't bad by any means, but I'm not sure I would be raring to come back.

Excellent chilaquiles verdes! Will definitely be coming back. The food is authentic, flavorful, fresh, and even feels fairly healthy. Looking forward to trying more dishes. Hansel was friendly and helpful and made me an absolutely phenomenal oat milk latte. It was so good I'd come here just for the coffee! But the food was really excellent. Super excited to try the Mole. Ambiance, like the food, is 100% authentic. Felt like we'd been transported back to Mexico.
