Comer

Tucked away on Rue d’Hauteville near Gare du Nord, Comer offers a genuine taste of Mexico in an intimate Parisian setting. This isn’t your typical taqueria—the chef brings authentic flavors from Tabasco to the heart of the 10th arrondissement, creating dishes that feel both familiar and entirely new to the Paris dining scene. The candlelit space wraps you in warmth from the moment you step inside, with the irresistible aroma of toasting masa and chiles filling the air.

The food here tells a story of regional Mexican cooking done right. While you’ll find classic tacos on the menu, the real stars are dishes like the Horneado de Boeuf—beef that’s been lovingly stewed for hours in a sweet and sour adobo sauce until it practically melts. The scratch-made salsa macha adds layers of smoky heat to everything it touches, and each tortilla comes fresh from the comal. These aren’t shortcuts or adaptations; they’re the real deal.

The minimalist design channels contemporary Mexican aesthetics with white tile walls, terracotta accents, and shelves lined with organic wines and mezcal bottles. It creates a hideaway feel that makes you forget you’re just steps from one of Paris’s busiest train stations. The space is intimate, making it ideal for small groups who want to share plates and explore the entire menu together.

Visit Comer for dinner with a few friends and order generously—this is the kind of place where you’ll want to try everything. While they do serve lunch on Thursdays and Fridays, the evening atmosphere really lets the restaurant shine. It’s perfect for a relaxed night out when you want great food without pretense, or for a casual date that feels just a bit special.
