A legendary late-night taquería in Guadalajara's Centro Histórico where the comal never cools. The arrachera (skirt steak), lengua (tongue), and pastor tacos are prepared at lightning speed and are wildly popular with the post-club crowd.
Taquería Los Comales is a late-night fixture in Guadalajara's Centro Histórico, operating from evening until the early hours of the morning and serving as the go-to stop for tacos after a night out. The comal runs continuously, turning out arrachera, lengua, and al pastor tacos at high speed, with the taco al pastor con piña and taco de arrachera being the most popular orders among the largely post-club crowd that fills the stand after midnight. The setting is entirely street-food casual, with counter and curbside seating, bright lighting, and a fast-paced, high-turnover atmosphere geared toward speed rather than comfort; there is no dress code and the environment can be loud and crowded in the small hours of the morning. As a late-night taco stand, there is no wine or cocktail list, and canned soda is the standard drink alongside the tacos. Visitors should expect long lines between midnight and 2AM on weekends, when the stand is busiest, with shorter waits available earlier in the evening around 7PM to 9PM.
