Comala is a stylish and modern Mexican restaurant located on NW 8th Avenue in downtown Portland. Just a short walk from some of the city's most popular music venues, it blends contemporary design with authentic flavors of Mexico. With its sleek interior, creative cocktails, and mezcal-forward bar, Comala delivers a laid-back yet energetic atmosphere that draws locals and visitors alike.
From inventive tacos to rich mole, Comala’s menu is rooted in traditional Mexican cuisine but layered with bold, modern twists. The space is clean and open, offering both indoor and patio seating, perfect for soaking in Portland’s artsy energy before a big night out.
Comala is just a stone’s throw from several major Portland concert venues, making it a go-to spot for pre-show drinks and bites. The service is known for being quick and friendly, ideal for squeezing in a meal before doors open. With its upbeat vibe and buzzing bar, it strikes the right balance between energetic and not-too-noisy, so you can still chat with friends or date night companions. Plus, the mezcal cocktails are a hit for starting your evening on a high note.
Diners rave about Comala’s innovative takes on Mexican classics, especially the tacos and house-made salsas. Reviewers on OpenTable and TripAdvisor highlight the craft cocktails, particularly the mezcal selections, and the inviting yet trendy decor. Many mention the attentive service and how the staff is accommodating, even when the place gets busy before events. The overall consensus? A fun, flavorful experience that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Some guests mention that the menu is on the smaller side, which may limit options for picky eaters. A few reviews note that on busy nights, wait times can creep up—so it’s worth making a reservation or arriving early if you're on a tight schedule. Also, the noise level can rise as crowds gather, but most find it adds to the festive feel.
If you're heading to a concert and want bold flavors, great drinks, and a cool space just steps from the action, Comala hits all the right notes.
