This has to be one of the most underrated restaurants on Yelp due in part to what appears to be a number of reviews form diners who value their meals in terms of dollars per pound.
The problem with Comida is that it's situated in a neighborhood that while favoring progressive causes (for which persons other than them are required to pick up the tab) desperately resists anything that smacks of gentrification (I.e too expensive to hang out and drink for hours ). Or doesn't have six or seven TV's running sports programs all day. Thus the 2 star reviews imo.
Don't get me wrong. I moved to PM over 10 years ago because I love the hole in the wall places. Unfortunately really good innovative cuisine made on the spot with quality fresh ingredients can't be had for the same price as cheeseburger and fries or the other usual pub staples. It's great to have another option besides Soul for those nights when I'm willing to lay out a little more of my hard earned money for a great atmosphere and fantastic menu.
The cauliflower nachos, octopus tapas plate and Cornish game hen (principal plate) were fantastic as were the jalapeƱo margaritas. My wife and I sat at the bar and bartender was extremely helpful. We loved the atmosphere (music, lighting, cozy feel). Don't miss Penguin at all!
