- AAndreaGoldDallas - Fort Worth •4 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had a lovely experience at Comedor! The bone marrow tacos were unbelievable. My fiancée is a chef and the amalgamation of flavors in each dish was surprisingly wonderful! Our plates and utensils were refreshed each course (don’t see that often in Austin, even with higher end restaurants) which is a nice touch. Drinks were fresh and inviting. The manager came by with an extra scoop of plantain icecream (topped with caramel and espresso merengue “kisses YUM) to eat with our sweet potato masa desert cake because the cake was delayed. Service is visible and attentive. The decor is very minimalist, bordering brutalist which is strange given the vibrancy of the drinks and menu. My fiancée noted maybe this is the point, pay attention to the plate, the food, the drinks and nothing else. I highly recommend this gem of Austin to anyone especially those who avoid gluten.More infoComedor$$$$• Mexican• Downtown•4.6
