Comal

Puebla


Comal is your old dependable in Puebla. Come for flavorful, good-value poblano dishes like mole (spiced chocolatey sauce on chicken), cemitas (overloaded burgers), nopal (cactus) soup, and tacos with cheese-stuffed chilies or arrachera (steak). Groups and families can breathe in the roomy, clean and cafe-like space. Trusty Comal opens early for breakfasts, and late for mezcal, wine, margaritas and snacks.
