El Comal North Park

North Park, San Diego · Mexican · $$

A comal is the flat griddle every Mexican kitchen starts from, and this family restaurant on Illinois Street earns the name with thick handmade corn tortillas under every taco and mulita. The cochinita pibil, pork rubbed in achiote and sour orange and roasted until it collapses, is the Yucatan dish regulars drive across town for, and the pozole comes red or green. Watch the specials board for green mole enchiladas.
