Our story

One comal, a lot of masa

Comal Rojo started as a backyard pop-up and a borrowed griddle. Now it's a red trailer on the east side, but the rule hasn't changed: no tortilla sits around. Every one is pressed and cooked the moment you order.

The pastor marinates for a full day before it hits the trompo, and the salsas are blended fresh every afternoon. Pull up a stool under the string lights and stay a while.
