    Toby and TK took care of us with great suggestions all around. I had the Pescado Tacos and that salsa verde was so delicious. Great time as always thank you Comedor.

    Overall, it was a nice experience but had a few flaws for such a experience place. The good: The Mezcal Selection was top tier. The Agave Specialists added a lot to the experience. Highly recommend trying a few flights of Mezcal (and let them choose!) The food was overall quite good. The Bone Marrow Tacos, while spendy, are quite delicious. And, the Hostesses are among the nicest I've come across in a fine dining experience. The Not Great: Service from our main server started off ok but really fell off after a few courses. It was a very weird, obvious change in his demeanor. We only ordered one cocktail, the Oaxacan Margarita. It was NOT good. I think we were still charged for them too (after dropping at least $130 on Mezcals.) The Lamb Barbacoa was way too salty and it was difficult to eat. Also, the timing of our dishes was really off. We sat for a good 45 minutes in between a few courses. And, it was my husband's birthday and no candle in the dessert? Idk, it would have been a nice touch of hospitality.

    Excellent drinks, crudo, and tacos. Didn’t love the bone marrow tacos and I love bone marrow dishes. It was too plain and the tortillas absorbent enough for the marrow.
