Wow. today Comida proved to me there is more to eating out than just getting food and drinks. We've been to Comida plenty of times prior but today was one of the final nights before my daughter went off to school. We had a familiar server Jack; who we've had and loved before and he just kept being a superhero. There was a younger child unattended and he was able to help her back to her seat and walk her across the rooftop (Jack is a young college kid). There was also an older couple who had trouble hearing and Jack calmly li... read more

We enjoyed dinner at Comida with another couple last night. The food and service were good, and the main floor dining room was attractive and comfortable. Appetizers included a good, chunky style guacamole & roasted cauliflower queso. I had tacos, and everyone else had BYOB ensaladas. The menu offers a lot of options and its own interpretation of mexican inspired dishes. In our neighborhood so we'll be back for more tastings and cocktails on the rooftop too. Nice tequila offerings too.

Service - 4.5 stars Food - 3 stars Price - 3 stars for group, 4 stars for individual a la carte Ambiance - 4 stars While the service and ambiance were great, I must say the food was not impressive. You're probably better off ordering drinks, a bunch of appetizers, and some tacos. If you're from the west coast, I would say skip. There are better Mexican restaurants in Chicago proper.

We met friends at Comida tonight (in Evanston), rooftop seating. It was my first time there. I was skeptical at first, after reading not so great reviews about this restaurant. -- For the record I give this place 5 stars. The staff was so amazing, kind, accommodating, friendly, and prompt. It was a bit chilly tonight so we asked them to light the table top burner, and they did it right away, happily! It started drizzling and we asked for an umbrella and they gave us one, happily! We wanted a photo and asked if they can take ... read more
