We have dined at Comida several times and each time have enjoyed the ambiance ( we have sat on the roof, at fire pit on street and in the restaurant), the service and the food/drinks. The portions are generous and full of flavor. I highly recommend their spicy margarita, it's made with just the right amount of heat . We had the pleasure of having Lydia serve us our last visit and she was great . She was pleasant,professional and was attentive without being overbearing . She had great knowledgeable about the menu and made so... read more
This restaurant is an excellent addition to the North Shore. Friendly, accommodating staff makes you feel welcome and has spot-on menu and drink suggestions. Our server, Lydia, was terrific! Our daughter's burrito was generous and tasty, and my husband's tacos were outstanding. My BYO bowl salad hit the spot, and it's great to be able to select options for it. Our margaritas were very good--not too sweet and tasted incredibly fresh. We loved the way a simple order of guac and chips was elevated by the addition of red ... read more

My wife and I had a lovely visit to Comida this past weekend. I informed the waitress that I was Celiac and she knew all the protocols right away. She went into detail about how the chef really tries to make the majority of the menu gluten-free, that they have protocols around changing gloves, knives, etc. She also went into detail about how some dishes were gluten-free, but we make in a combined fryer, so they wouldn't be suitable for me. I have 3 tacos, the jerk cauliflower, the skirt steak, and the brisket taco. All ver... read more

Started off great with the cauliflower queso then it went downhill after that. Sweet potato pancake fell apart and turned to mush trying to get it from the platter to my plate. Ordered the mole Brussel sprouts after that and they were VERY under cooked and some of the almonds tasted funky. Finished our martinis (which were great) and left. Had high hopes, but disappointed.

Fun interior and rooftop. Great menu. Drinks good. Food inconsistent. Last time I was there both our table and the table next to us received soggy, greasy and chewy chips. When we complained the waiter blamed the humidity and it was not a humid day. Also orders were mixed up on a few occasions. Mole a bit heavy tasting.
