Neighborhood Mexican spot with standout moles, handmade tortillas, and friendly vibes; some inconsistencies on fried items and brunch.
El Buen Comer earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly its celebrated mole rojo and verde—paired with reliable friendly service and prompt execution. Consistency shows some variation in fried items and brunch, and the neighborhood charm lacks destination-level appeal, preventing a higher grade. This is a well-executed neighborhood favorite with serious traditional cooking that rewards repeat visits.
One caveat: Fried fish/shrimp tacos can be over-fried per several diners
