Comalito

The Hit List: New Houston Restaurants To Try Right Now - Houston - The Infatuation

"Taking cues from Mexico City-style taquerias, Comalito—opened by the folks behind Underbelly Hospitality—serves up a long list of fantastic tacos, suaderos, quesadillas, crispy cheese-slathered tostadas, and so much more. Housed in a drab and sparse space behind The Heights Houston Farmers Market with yellow-gray interiors, concrete floors, and metal chairs, the menu does enough heavy lifting that it's worth being a little uncomfortable to taste this food. We loaded up on tender pastor tacos with thinly sliced juicy pineapple, and an alambra plate of slightly smoky adobo-marinated pork mixed with onions, bell pepper, and even more bacon. And the rice pudding with mango and coconut makes a perfect sweet pick-me-up before a couple of hours of browsing the adjacent produce. " - Gianni Greene, Chelsea Thomas
