Comala

Wonderful little spot in NW. Neighboring and connected to De Noche all the food and bites are incredibly high quality and hand made tortillas !! The selection of Mezcal and Mexican Spirits is wonderful ! All the cocktails I’ve had there have been very complex and unique. Dan is a great Mixologist. Open late on Friday and Saturday - Great little spot to check out.

I had a wonderful time here. I showed up too late for dinner next door so stopped here for a drink to figure out next steps. Our drinks were exquisite. Service was awesome. Bar was chill and had a good vibe. I will definitely return when in the city

We ordered two disappointing cocktails. The first, which I believe, was the El Virrey. Flavors were not unified. The second, blanking on the name but started with “pan de —“, similarly fell short. When egg whites are used, it’s usually for adding either a rich, silky texture or reducing an intense flavor. This cocktail did neither. The crushed ice filling up the tall glasses didn’t help in terms of 1) stirring to further mix the drink 2) leaving room to enjoy the egg white foam. Excellent service and food looked tasty. Might give it another shot if I’m back in town.

The drinks and bartenders are great. Often times they have older black and white movies playing in the background. Not to mention their bar food is made from the kitchen with some ingredients from Denoche next door. They occasionally have pop ups and mix it up with different events. Highly reccomend them for a date night or even with friends.

Fabulous drink selection. I was struggling because I wanted one of everything, and our server suggested letting the bartender create something based on the flavors I was looking for. The result was an incredibly delicious passion fruit mezcal drink that rocked my world. They infuse some of their spirits too. One was vodka sesame, another with cardamom - super cool. Impressive tequila and mezcal selection, and still had room at the bar for a great bourbon selection too! The music was also great!

We had an exceptional experience at Comala. The drinks menu came with a diagram of the flavor profile AND how each was served. Why doesn’t every bar do this? If you want wine it’s all Mexican. Then the food we ordered (skirt steak tacos, chilaquiles but very elevated, and padron peppers) arrived and every dish was wonderful. Highly recommended.

WOW! How lucky Portland is to have such an expert in beautiful mezcals located in a beautiful atmosphere. The cocktails are delicious. I loved the sweet vs. bitter vs. refreshing chart they had to guide your selections—I wish more places used something similar. Our party also had a curated mezcal flight, complete with introductions of each one. Truly wonderful service. Thank you Cómala!

Honestly some of the best tacos I've ever had. No Ive never been to the Tex-Mex area BUT I've had my fair share of tacos on the east and west coast. Got the four sampler with papas fritas and my favorite was the Al Pastor, the flavor and texture were absolutely perfect. The additions on top were classic cilantro onions so the meats could shine, and personally for my taste I don't think I can do too many greasy foods so the pork belly and cheek from the other tacos added up a bit but nonetheless were very tasty. The potato's were well made with a nice feta and herb topping. Would come again.

Flying in to Portland on a rainy day I went to Comala knowing it would be a chance to go to a bar with great food & I wasn't disappointed. Their Mole Negro was fantastic but it was the creative artisan cocktails that stole the show. Loved the concentration on mezcal ( they even source their own), tequila and Mexican rum. The spirit forward cocktails are up there with top bars like Pacific Cocktail Haven in SF while the skilled bartender who would make you anything you want based on your preference of ingredients reminded me of Attaboy in NY with that same cozy and friendly feel to the bar. If you enjoy quality cocktails at a top level you gotta get in there

Booked a table for 2 through Open Table. Certainly did not seem necessary for a Saturday which was surprising. Tons of zero proof options, and the boozey map was a hit for my husband. He enjoyed exploring the options. Beautiful drinks, certainly surprising quality recipes. Was a bit loud to hold a conversation. But it's a bar so curb your expectations. Corn nuts as a single bowl offering. We ordered the moladas which were tiny and ok. Not sure this is a must, but would return for a drink.

Love this vibe. We came for a birthday treat for a friend and had great service, upscale freshly made cocktails, and enjoyed the music and atmosphere. We came on a Saturday which was a bit quiet, so we were able to make our own party and visit and nothing too loud or abundant. The food menu is very small but both the tacos and the panna cotta dessert were gourmet and memorable - you should visit soon.

As soon as I saw the darker aesthetic in combination with tequila drinks, I knew we had to come here during our trip to Portland. We headed over the same night we arrived in the city and it is beautiful. Stationed right next to a park with a beautiful garage door as its entrance! The door has that glass that many churches do so a very cool touch! We got some really good drinks while there and the skirt steak tacos are amazing! The servers and bartenders are all super nice and recommended some amazing options for drinks! Towards the end of our meal, they had closed the garage door and put on a movie using the projector inside the place! If that's not a reason to come check this place out then I don't know what is! Hopefully we'll be back at some point to enjoy this place again!

An excellent find on the NW Park Blocks, where the great Park Kitchen used to be. This is the bar side of De Noche, from the people at Replublica, and it is super solid. We had the empanadas, tacos de birria, and the quesidilla, and all were authentic Mexican and delicious! Good cocktails and service too! Highly recommended!

Walked in late night (10pm) on a Sunday. Outstanding vibes, excellent cocktails, excellent food, excellent service, garage door that opens onto the park blocks. 10/10

Delicious and authentic Mexican food. The birria was perfectly seasoned and cooked. Drinks were tasty and inventive, and the service was stellar. The bar is a bit small but the ambience is cool. Will definitely be back!
