During weekday lunches over the course of six years, Comal’s chefs have practiced to open their own hospitality businesses by preparing dishes and drinks from their native countries — Mexico, Venezuela, Syria and Ethiopia, to name a few.

alongside 49 other national eateries, Comal was still awaiting assistance from the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which it never received. Vernon says that Focus Points was able to use its own funds to keep Comal’s staff employed over the past two and a half years. Now he’s hoping that fundraising efforts and expanded offerings can bring in $250,000 by the end of 2022, and $750,000 by summer 2023.
A new liquor license will add beer, wine and cocktails to the menu options, and programming such as afternoon language classes could bring a renewed awareness and new customer base to the store positioned between Globeville and Elyria-Swansea in Five Points. “For us, staying open, serving our guests continuing to serve our participants is the heart and core of why we do this,” Vernon said.posted on Craigslist“It really takes a special person with a lot of lived experience, as an immigrant or refugee, or a close understanding of the populations we serve,” Vernon said. “That deep empathy, and also knowing that at the end of the day the job has to get done.”Comal is open at 3455 Ringsby Court, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
