Restaurante Los Comales sits on Av. Miguel Hidalgo Pte. in central Celaya, a city famous throughout Mexico for cajeta, its traditional goat's-milk caramel, and the restaurant builds much of its identity around that local specialty. The kitchen works cajeta into both savory and sweet applications, most notably a cajeta-glazed pork dish, alongside enchiladas queretanas that reflect the state border region's shared cooking traditions, and a rotating selection of cajeta-based desserts.

Restaurante Los Comales sits on Av.

The kitchen works cajeta into both savory and sweet applications, most notably a cajeta-glazed pork dish, alongside enchiladas queretanas that reflect the state border region's shared cooking traditions, and a rotating selection of cajeta-based desserts. There is no chef pedigree attached, but the restaurant is a reliable choice for travelers wanting to sample Celaya's signature product in a proper sit-down setting rather than buying jarred cajeta as a souvenir. The dining room is traditional and comfortable, with a moderate noise level and casual dress code, functioning as a mid-range option for lunch or dinner in Celaya's Centro. The drinks list includes basic beer, soft drinks and a modest wine selection, without an extensive sommelier program. Reservations are not usually necessary given the restaurant's capacity, though it is worth calling ahead for larger groups.
