Comalito

Authentic Salvadoran pupuseria serving fresh, handmade pupusas with exciting flavors and attentive service.

Comalito makes Salvadoran pupusas a compelling reason to visit Middlefield Road in Redwood City. The fillings offer plenty of variety, from the traditional revuelta combination of pork, beans, and cheese to cheese with roasted garlic, jalapeño, or loroco. We like that a few different pupusas can turn a simple order into a small exploration of Salvadoran flavors. There is more to discover around them. Pastelitos wrap ground beef, carrots, and potatoes in achiote-colored masa, while yuca fries, casamiento, and fried plantains bring different textures to the table. The menu also includes Salvadoran breakfast dishes and a substantial dinner platter. Horchata, tamarindo, and ensalada offer drink pairings, and custard-filled fried plantain empanadas provide a distinctive sweet finish. Comalito's appeal lies in this combination of a clear pupusa specialty and a wider selection of Salvadoran comfort food.
