komali

after reading the review by the observer i didn't know what to expect because they painted such a bad picture. however, i liked it, and i'll bebackagain! we started out with queso fundido which was outstanding, only complaint is we needed a few more tortillas to go with this deliciousness. for the main course i had the enchiladas de pollo en salsa verde which were great! all the flavors worked so well together. my dinner partner had the pollo en mole negro de oaxaca . if you love mole you have to try it here. it's so rich and dark, almost overpowering the rest of the dish. of course we had a few drinks to go with our meal. try their house special margarita, i think it's called the komail, you won't be disappointed!

definitely not the choice for a chips and salsa lover. i wasn't really wasn't impressed with the food, but i'd gobackfor drinks. the mexican martini was excellent. i think it'd be a good happy hour date spot. i definitely wouldn't recommend the shrimp enchiladas. the shrimp seemed to be old or frozen. the atmosphere and service were great.

komali- contemporary-ish mexican cantina served in mediocre location, with mediocre food but attentive service. will bebackfor the drinks but will skip the food next time.

sight: ubiquitous upscale mexican restaurant with granite bar tops and modern décor. tinder dates, power couples, dallas meetup groups, girls night out….this place is appropriate for almost any gathering. 
 
sound: quiet enough to have a conversation but (can be) bustling enough to still remain upbeat.

touch: dallas sleek with touches modern

smell: n/a. a bit disappointing.

taste:
caliente clementine margarita- award winning margarita with citrus zestiness with a hit of jalapeno heat. made skinny (all margaritas can be made skinny here—just ask!)
chips and salsa- complimentary chips corn chips and homemade salsa. tostitoes rold gold like variety—heavy, thick, to the point of over fried. salsa was fresh.

ceviche- mahi mahi citrus marinated ceviche was flavorful but seemed to be pre-made and sitting in a refrigerator for a while. there was nothing really “delicate” about the seafood…

chicharones- a basket of fresh, hot pork rinds well seasoned and crispy. the perfect bar snack to pair with my margarita.
