Our Story

Comal Doce started with a simple idea: cook the food we grew up eating, with the best ingredients we can find. Chef **Lucía Domínguez** opened the doors in 2018 after years cooking across Oaxaca City, Mexico City, and Austin. The masa is nixtamalized and pressed fresh every morning. The mole simmers for two days from chiles we grind by hand. The mezcal list leans Oaxacan, with a few surprises from small palenques we visit every year. We don't take shortcuts, and we don't rush. Dinner here is meant to feel like dinner at a friend's house — if your friend happened to be a very good cook.

What Our Guests Say

  • “The best mole negro outside of Oaxaca. We've been coming every week for three years and it never disappoints.”

    Sarah M. · Google

  • “This is what a neighborhood taqueria should be. Warm, honest, unfussy. The cochinita pibil is life-changing.”

    David K. · Yelp

  • “We had our anniversary dinner here and everything was perfect — the food, the mezcal flight, the service.”
