Well, since I was almost the only customer there at the time, the service was fast and attentive, the food has good flavor and the places were comfortable and clean. The bad thing is that there is no parking and your car must be left where you can fit it on the street...

The best Comiteco Taco... Super recommended... If you travel to Comitan, do not hesitate to visit the King of Cochito, it is a delight and if you are from here you should try this taco, which is a 100% Comiteco recipe.

The food and service were excellent. One area where they could improve is the background music. Every time I've been there, they only played banda and norteno music. They could vary it a bit to include more genres.

Delicious. High quality. Could be Top 5 carnitas in all of Mexico.

The best carnitas de comitan. Good service, worth the price. Family atmosphere.

The best carnitas restaurant in Mexico!!! Unique and authentic style, oven-cooked makes it delicious! Totally unique recipe! The salsas, gorditas... if you pass through Comitan and don't try them, you'll have missed out on something super delicious!!! The prices are fantastic!!! Very, very low. It's really worth it...

We had a charola to share. Three different types of meat (chicken, beef and pork). All three were amazing. Staff were helpful and attentive.

I love it, the dough for the gorditas is delicious and the tacos with cheese are delicious.
