Price point is a little higher but the tacos were delicious. Especially the pineapple pork shoulder one. There is a nice selection of different sides you can get to complete your taco platter as well which is really nice. Their chips and salaa are pretty good too. Waitress was super friendly and attentive and swiftly corrected the issue when a problem arose with one of our orders. Only negative aspect from the experi... View all feedback.
What Cindy Lund doesn't like about Comida Cantina:
Like a fancy chipotle with drinks. The waitress staff took like 30 minutes to bring utensils. The waitress didn?t even know where the restaurant kept napkins. Also the staff were doing shots while our table was missing things. Food was cold, tortillas were cold, portions were small, food overpriced. Save yourself some money and go anywhere else.

Another great rooftop restaurant in Evanston! Loved their food! The only problem I had was when sitting upstairs on the rooftop, there were lots of bees and flys everywhere. It really was annoying and definitely got in the way of enjoying our meal, but that can?t be helped by the staff! Will definitely sit inside next time. Indoor has a cute vibe too.
My friend and I walked in around 6:40 on a Friday evening to a very crowded and bustling restaurant. We did not have reservations and were offered a seat at the bar by the hostess when a server came up and said there was a 2 top available. We opted for the 2 top and waited only a couple minutes while they set the table for us. They did require masks to enter and proof of vaccination prior to being seated. Our server informed us of the nightly special which was chicken cheese empanadas and also offered a prex fixe menu for Valentine's Day weekend. She also let us know that they were out of the Cuban sandwich and the caramelized baby carrots. My friend ordered the chicken cheese empanadas to share which was served with a dipping sauce and spring mix. We were also served chips with 3 different salsas. The chips were hot, fresh, and crispy! For drinks, my friend opted for a strawberry daiquiri while I ordered a mango margarita both of which were tasty and hit the spot after each of us having a very long week! For our main entrees, my friend ordered the chicken enchiladas topped with mole sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, and sour cream. It was a very generous portion so she had leftovers to take home. I ordered 3 tacos (pictured L to R): crispy shrimp, pineapple anchiote braised pork shoulder, and short rib. I was only able to eat 2 tacos the pork followed by the beef with me bringing the shrimp taco home. Our entire meal was absolutely delicious! We would both highly recommend it and will be returning!

Service was a blend of really friendly and nice but also sub-par in the sense that the drinks that our party ordered were forgotten about and there were no silverware or napkins when our plates were served. The food itself was just okay. I got the byo bowl and I would have preferred a chipotle bowl same for my friend who ordered a boy bowl. The other people in our party ordered tacos and they said they were really good but that the tortillas were cold. Personally would not go again and would not recommend.
I will start with the good part, that was our server Emma. She was great! The rest of our experience not so much. I called to make a reservation for the rooftop and was told we could be accommodated at 7:30. At 7:00 I received a text stating ?your are expected at Comida in 30 minutes?. We arrived a few minutes early and was told I did not have a reservation. I was surprised because I had spoken with the hostess just a few hours before and was texted by the restaurant. We received numerous ?I?m sorry?s and were told to wait at the bar. My 22 year old daughter did not bring a purse and therefore did not have her ID. She was not planning to order anything. When I began to ask the bartender for a margarita, before I could finish my sentence she told me we couldn?t sit at the bar. We were told numerous times that our table would be ready in a few minutes. As we waited and waited and waited, still more sorrys from the hostess. We were finally seated at 8:00, which if we were a walk in and were told it would be a 30 minute wait to sit on the rooftop we would have known that was the case. It took 30 more minutes to receive a our food. Should it really take that long to make a few tacos? Isn?t everything prepped in advance? The menu descriptions sounded delicious but the food itself was uninspiring, dry and lacked flavor. Actually it was pretty on par with Ten Mile House. This was our first and last time visiting Comida. What a disappointment!
