About Us

After working in the industry for nearly two decades, even from my early years as a dishwasher, I have dreamt of owning my own restaurant – not until my later years did I realize the passion I developed for Mexican cuisine. During the early stages of concept, development, and research, I came across a clay griddle used to make tortillas and toasting nuts used for Mole. This equipment has since become antiquated with the advancements in culinary technology; however, it was a quintessential part of a traditional Mexican kitchen and I felt there was no better way to pay homage to the origins of Mexican cuisine than to adopt its name – Comalli.

We have grown tremendously over the last three years, which has given us full creative freedom on the expansion of our menu. Our devotion to setting the new standard of consistency, creativity, and freshness is what sets us apart. Comalli and Oakbrook are the product of my traditional Mexican upbringing as well as my passions for art, punk rock, skateboarding, and culinary ingenuity.
