Comalito

Had a great time at Comalito! The pupusas were delicious and everything was flavored well and was crisp and fresh.The interior was nicely decorated and clean, very nice for a date night dinner. The service was warm and friendly.We got complimentary tortilla fries, and ordered Yucca fries, Pastelitos, the salad, and 3 pupusas (Revuelta, Ajo y queso, and Jalapeno y queso). The ajo y queso was particularly delicious, and everything overall was great. The only minor piece of criticism I had was that overall, there could've been just a bit more cheese in the pupusas.For ~30 dollars, we had a full meal for 2 + leftovers, very reasonable!We wanted to get dessert but were so full by the end that we decided we would come back another time and order less to have room for it. Definitely looking forward to it!

This place is just great . Came here for the first time on a whim and was REALLY impressed with everything . Is it a Michelin star restaurant, of course not but what you get in terms of food, service and ambiance at a great price is pretty unmatched.We just wanted a place to have an afternoon snack and a colleague mentioned this place to me so we went on a rainy Sunday afternoon . We started with the Yucca fries which were really nice , crisp but a bit soft in the middle and served with a really nice little dipping sauce. They also gave us these complimentary tortilla fries which I had never even heard of but they were spectacular. It was just perfectly fried sticks of masa with a small dish of refried beans and cojita cheese to dip into and it was REALLY good. Other than that they had a nice selection of pupusas served with the traditional sides that were really nicely done . Had an order of churros to finish it off and it was a great little meal and we got out of there for under $40, how is this possible especially in the peninsula ?The place was clean , a bit modern and had lively music playing (which they probably could've turned down a notch ) but whatever. Will definitely be going back !

So good!We had the empanadas, yuca fries, pupusas and horchata. The food tasted fresh and had lots of flavor.The service was excellent and very warm.The restaurant is clean and well decorated. They even had a cute tree up for Christmas.For three pupusas, an order of empanadas, and the yuca fries + an horchata and coke, it was only $35 so very affordable!

Comalito is a hidden gem in Redwood City, offering an authentic Salvadoran dining experience. Their pupusas--especially the revueltas, chicken and cheese, and jalapeño and cheese--are packed with rich flavors and perfectly cooked. The crudités are fresh and on point, while the yucca fries are crispy and addictively good. The lively music adds to the vibe, making the atmosphere feel warm and inviting. To top it all off, Monica, our hostess, was absolutely spectacular, ensuring top-notch service. With reasonable prices and incredible food, Comalito is a must-visit for pupusa lovers!

Unfortunately, no longer open at lunch time on many days. Otherwise would visit more often.

came across this hole in the wall in Redwood City & this is definitely a go-to spot if you're in the mood for pupusas.right off the bat, you'll notice that everything on the menu is priced fairly. each pupusa is only $4.50, despite which flavor you order (you can select from 9 different ones). my personal favorite was the Ajo, which was the most flavorful out of the ones we ordered! 2-3 pupusas was the perfect portion, which they recommend as well. the yuca fries & empanadas de leche dessert were also great, although the custard was a bit thick.the ambiance inside is nice & cozy; there is also no lot, only street parking.

When we first saw the menu it was such a green flag! The menu stuck to authentic Salvadoran dishes something you don't see often. The service was very nice and quick to seat us and serve drinks. The restaurant was VERY clean and they had it decorated for holiday which felt random but cute. The food came out relatively quickly which was nice and we got a complementary side which was so sweet! The pupsas were good, not overly greasy and had a good distribution of topping on the inside. I would have like them to be a little more cooked around the edges but I should have asked for that beforehand. Also the bean are very different to the other pupsas where the beans are a little more watery/runny. I think we'd prefer a more thicker bean but these we good as well! Lastly for the pastelitos. The dough a good as well as the meat but there was not an even distribution meat and a veggies. It was mostly meat. Still tasted very good but would have appreciated more flavor from the veggies. The curtido and salsa were perfect! We will definitely be going again

Came for dinner and were super happy we did! Party of 3. We had revueltas and calabazas pupusas, yucca fries, and 1 ensalada. The ensalada was packed with fruit and was amazing. The pupusas were loaded up and delicious, and the yucca fries were great. The server was super kind and attentive. Can't wait to come back and try more.

Really really good. So glad to find this place. We were looking for authentico and we found it!

I was in Redwood City and saw this place pop up as 'hot and new' so I decided to give it a try! Comalito specializes in all things pupusas! I ordered 3 different kinds, the queso, chicharron , revuelta (which is cheese, ground pork, and beans). All of these were made fresh to order, and you can tell by how piping hot they came out. The queso and revuelta were my favorites and with their curtido (fermented cabbage salad) to top it with, it was a solid meal. The best part, I ordered 3 pupusas and a can of coke, and my total was under $14 before tip. I was shocked because I didn't expect the meal to that inexpensive especially since the quality was so good. I think it's $3.25 per pupusa, so if you are looking for a quality, affordable meal, you might want to check out Comalito. Street parking was easy to find, but I saw a sign they have free parking around the corner from their restaurant.
