La Comarca Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in San Antonio

WIKIPEDIA: Mexican cuisine began 9,000 years ago, 7,000 BCE, when agricultural communities such as the Maya formed, domesticating maize, creating the standard process of corn nixtamalization, and establishing their foodways. Successive waves of other Mesoamerican groups, including the Olmec, Teotihuacanos, Toltec, Huastec, Zapotec, Mixtec, Otomi, and Purépecha, brought with them their own cooking methods.

The Mexica establishment of the Aztec Empire created a multi-ethnic society where many different foodways became infused. The staples are native foods, such as corn, beans, squash, amaranth, chia, avocados, tomatoes, tomatillos, chocolate, vanilla, beetroot, agave, turkey, sweet potato, cactus, and chili pepper.

After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire in the 16th century, Europeans introduced a number of other foods, the most important of which were meats from domesticated animals (beef, pork, chicken, goat, and sheep), dairy products (especially cheese), and rice. While the Spanish initially tried to impose their own diet on the country, this was not possible.

This will be last time I come to eat at LA Comarca Mexican Restaurant. After I finished eating my Mexican Plate I took a phone call and while on the phone I see a big roach scamper on the floor near my table. This is San Antonio, and cockroaches are all over the place... not that big of a deal. A couple of minutes later I see another one drop from the ceiling tile. This one landed right near me. I told the waitress (Chacon) and she told the other waitress to get it. Between the both of them they killed and disposed of the roach. As I went to pay at register, Chacon had the gall to ask me "was everything OK (in Spanish)"? I said it was okay except for the 2 roaches that passed my table. She shrugged her shoulders and proceeded to charge me. Good luck if you choose to eat here.

I came in around 3pm, just in time to take advantage of daily lunch special (soft Taco plate with rice, beans, and tortillas - drink NOT included). Wow! I was pleasantly surprised by the portions and quality of food. The soft Taco plate are more like enchiladas, but without the gravy. So delicious and for $3.99 you...

Im giving 2 stars but just because the food was delicious! Hate to do this but the service is a big disaster! My waitress wasn't in the mood, she didn't care about us at all, coffee cups empty , dirty plates on table etc. Have to chase her I would understand if the place where pack but it was empty just a couple of tables here and there. I even have to stand up and tell the cashier that I need more coffee and have to order something else, even that she send another waitress to the table I can notice that she was kind of mad (the cashier) have to admit the other waitress was keeping an eye on us even it wasn't her table, bad experience for our first time here , I woul come back cuz my daughter loves the food , hopefully next time we get a better...
