Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

We have tried pretty much every Mexican restaurant within a 30 mile radius of this one, and this is, by far, the best. Service is great, the restaurant is clean and cozy, and the quality of the food is top-notch even the chips and salsa they bring out is worth paying good money for! If I could personally recommend a meal, it would have to be the Shrimp and Chorizo nachos. To die for!

we visited this restaurant because it had a pretty good approval rating on urban spoon, and i really wanted to find a go-to mexican restaurant in mt juliet (our experience at hacienda del sol was horrible). the manager was actually our server, and he was so friendly and helpful. i timidly asked if i could have a fried egg added to my enchiladas (timidly because at hacinda del sol i was shot down very quickly, because their egg dishes are only served until 4, and we were there at 5...). our server/the manager, cheerfully said that'd be no problem. the food was good, and the place was super clean. this'll probably be our go-to mexican restaurant in the mt juliet area.

Not bad. Service was exceptionally quick. Server almost seemed in a hurry to take our orders, bring our drinks, and return with the food. Not a complaint, just funny. Dude looked like Taz on a rampage. The chips were good. Salsa decent, and cheese dip a bit runny, but it settled after a few minutes and firmed up nicely. The rice was Excellent. Well seasoned and prepared. Food was flavored well also. The drinks (margs) leave something to be desired. Very very weak, and over used mix. We will come again for food, but pass on the drinks.

Normally this place is pretty good. However today not so much. The service was bad. No drink refils, one drink never brought to the table, had to ask for silverware twice. We ordered guacamole as an appetizer and it came after the entrees. The food tastes just ok. Maybe just a bad, isolated issue, but very disappointed from previous experiences here.

Some really good Guacamole. Better than average salsa and food. The grilled chicken was awesome,not dry,and had that good grill flavor.

As a transplanted Texan, I am always on the hunt for great, authentic Mexican food. We have eaten several different items from the menu and loved everything we ordered. There has also been enough food to need a to go box. Last Saturday the parking lot was FULL but we had no wait and were seated immediately.
(5)Jessy S.
Love this place. Great service and great food. I have one thing I like and the only place I've ever found it made the way I like is in Belevue, called CanCun, but this place makes it just the same!!

The last couple times I have been to El Comel the service has not been great. They also have changed there salsa and it taste like they put some type of Italian seasoning in it. Needless to say it is not good anymore.

I eat here at least once every two weeks because the mixed fajitas and cheese dip are so good. I have tried many other items on the menu and have yet to come across anything that I didn't like. The chips and salsa are tasty and to me, better than many of the other Mexican restaurants in town. The owner is nice and the staff are for the most part but are generally in a hurry in taking your order. They are very busy every weekend, yet it rarely ever affects getting seated in a timely manner. Overall, it's one of my favorite restaurants to frequent and would suggest it to anyone looking for some excellent Mexican food.

Stopped in for a second visit today and had the combination dinner #15 (enchilada, burrito, & tamale) and my wife got the lunch meal with cheese enchilada with rice and beans. On our previous visit we both ordered house specials and were very happy with both house specials. The house specials were served temperature hot with a lot of flavor. The combination dinner & lunch dinner was very bland, serve barely warm and the red sauce tastes just like canned spaghetti sauce from the grocery. The staff was fast, professional, and very attentive. The store was clean with ample parking. If you want the best meal there go with one of the house specials.

Wife and I have come a few times and we have had a good meal each time. I am still not a fan of most of the Mexican food in TN, as I am used to the Mexican I had from California, but when I am wanting it, this is the only place I have found that does justice to Mexican food, with a great taste, and good quality. I have had the rolled tacos, burritos, tamales, and enchiladas and I have liked them all. If I could have one thing, I would like it with carna asada instead of just ground beef. That's the one main difference I have seen that differentiates California style Mexican from TN style.
(4)Melanie R.
Great service (and quick!). Great food. Everything is seasoned and cooked really well. We enjoyed it and will definitely go back to eat, but we found the margaritas to be weak and mostly mix.

We have ordered from here before for lunch and today the food was cold and someone in the office ordered desert and they put the ice cream in the container with the hot food it was melted EVERWHERE... I called down to talk to them in hopes they would make it right and I was told "I don't know what to tell you" there was no, oh just come back down here and we will fix it... or I am sorry, just " I don't know what to tell you"

3.5 stars, if it were possible on Yelp. Dang, you'd think by all these five star reviews that this was the best Mexican food in Nashville and surrounding areas. Is it? No. No better than the Cinco de Mayo a little further into Mt. Juliet, but it's Mexican fare and they have good food and drink specials. The place was very clean, salsa better than most (I like mine with lots of cilantro), but the service was lacking when I went on a busy Saturday night. All in all, I would come again when I'm in Mt. Juliet, but don't go out of your way expecting the best Mexican food (sorry, previous reviewers).
(4)Michael G.
Below average. Food was ordinary and uninspiring. Tasted like everything came out of a can or was otherwise on par with institutional kitchens. Definitely did not seem fresh but at least it was clean. They charged us for the two deserts we ordered but only delivered one. Doesn't matter - we won't be going back.

...I'll preface this with the service was worth three stars; however, that is not enough for me to average this out any higher because, after all, many dining experiences with bad food just wipe away any of the good service parts of the meal. The salsa - it was like canned, crushed tomatoes without (thankfully) the tinny tasted. It was bland and uninspired. If you would have thrown in some onion, cilantro, garlic, lime and salt - or even just one of those, it would have been a vast improvement. Instead it was just this liquidy tomato stuff in a bowl. If I would have had basil and oregano, I could have made a nice sauce for pasta. Let's just say that set the tone. I mean really, if you cannot get salsa right what else is going to be tasty? I only had one chipful of the stuff and that was MORE than enough for me. With it being lunch time, husband and I both ordered off of the lunch menu. I decided on the fajita nachos because I was weary of more complex dishes after the failed salsa experiment. I got mine mixed with both chicken and beef. It looked good - lots of meat, plenty of sautéed peppers and onions but that was a mirage. In actuality, what I wound up with was a wet mess. Instead of a thicker queso or simply melted cheese, my nachos were swimming in some murky liquid that resembled cloudy chicken stock. Not an appealing sight, eh? Also, it was so blistering hot that I think it came straight from the microwave. If I wanted to nuke something for lunch, I would have bought a Lean Cuisine. I think I got through about three bites before I covered my plate with my napkin. To be fair, the husband got the California Burrito and declared it okay.... Nothing more than okay though. Sometimes I think Mexican places "dummy down" things and do not put much "punch" in it because the gringos will complain that it's too hot. Well I'd like to see options. I'm not a gringo. I was born and raised in San Antonio. I have a 92 year old Abuelita. I know the difference between Tex Mex and Mexican. But having bland food from any culture is uncalled for

Food was just ok. But the service was awful. Slow, never got refills on drinks, and took a good 15 minutes to even get things started when we sat down. Just avoid it.
(2)Jeff C.
Great specials. The food usually gets out to you pretty quickly. It's always consistent as well, which is nice. Love the waiter who always calls us "my friends," every time he asks if we need anything. This is probably my favorite Mexican restaurant in the whole world.

I have been looking for good, authentic Mexican food since leaving California over 20 years ago. I have finally found it at El Comal (The Griddle)! This easy to miss restaurant has fabulous food that starts with the chips and salsa. They make their own chips and the salsa has a nice little kick to it. I tried the chopped beef chimichanga and it was wonderful. I'm looking forward to trying the rest of their menu, especially the differebt nachos offerings. I've found my new "go to" restaurant for Mexican food!! Comida maravillosa!!
(5)Mindy L.
Drink specials on fri and sat! I have lived in this area for 3 yrs. My husband and I LOVE Mexican food, and were regular patrons of another Mexican restaurant in the area. We decided to yelp to find a better one, and we sure did with this one! Thanks to the other reviews on yelp, we found our new favorite Mexican restaurant! It is a small place, but overall, the quality of food, service and price are exceptional!
(5)Misty M.
Great lunch specials. We go often after church on Sundays when the special is $6.98 for fajitas and a drink. The portion is large and the food is high quality. Plus, the guacamole casero is excellent. Even my husband loves it, and he doesn't normally like guacamole.
(4)Marla M.
This is our favorite restaurant in Mt. Juliet. The food is great. The service is great. We enjoy going here with our friends to eat.
