Wondering where you might get a tasty margarita and delicious, gourmet Mexican food (without the gourmet pricing)? Try Komali! Komali was recently named one of 10 “Toast of the Town” hot spots in Big D by Dallas Morning News columnist Mr. Dallas. He says, “Mixologist Leann Berry does all sorts of interesting things with tequila, otherwise known as ‘the next vodka.”
Komali Named “Toast of the Town” by Dallas Morning News
Leann’s signature Komali made with prickly pear puree is a favorite!
