We were seated promptly in a bright, airy room with Mexican tiles, wooden furniture and hand blown Mexican lights. The restaurant also has roof deck seating which we didn't see. A friendly waitress immediately greeted us and asked for our drink and appetizer orders. We had the taco chips and salsas, shrimp tostones and chicken enchiladas,, which we would describe as Mexican inspired but not traditional Mexican. All were excellent and carefully seasoned. During the course of our meal we were greeted by two managers, which i ... read more
We have been big fans for years, but our last experience was disappointing. The tacos I got were much smaller than in the past, although the price was the same. "Shrink-flation" has come to Comida. Service and margaritas are still great. But charging $4.50 for chips and salsa and $18 for 2 small tacos? No thanks.

Hi David - Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you were unhappy with the size of your tacos. I took a moment tonight to talk with our kitchen manager about this and I understand that we were given the smaller size tortillas one day last week on accident by our distributor. My apologies about this! We would love to have you dine with us again as you have enjoyed our space, food, and beverage experience. Please feel free to reach out to me at Jamie@comidaevanston.com before you visit next and I would be happy to provide... read more

The ambience is ecclectic and the food is very good. The only annoyance is the rushed service. You are not even settled and there pushing to place your food order before drinks arrive. Your last bite, and the dishes are wisked away. This works for someone who is in a rush.

This Comida restaurant surely will be my new favorite spot. The ribs and the butter shrimp thing were truly amazing. I would also recommend trying their sweet potato tacos and those are perfect with a little bit of heat. The best vegetarian tacos I had so far. The place was extremely busy for a Sunday night, so we sat at the bar and meet the bartender, he was very friendly and accommodating. We had such a great experience here! Highly recommend! Big thanks to all the staff!
