Really good menudo! It immediately reminded me of Sunday mornings at my grandmother's house. Funny how one bite of something can transport you 25 years back and bring those memories rushing in. That alone made the meal worth it. My only real complaint is that the menudo didn't have hominy, which was a little disappointing. Aside from that, it was really good and overall a great place to eat. The cashiers were okay--not the friendliest--but the butchers were absolute gold. They were super knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely down to earth. You can tell they know their stuff. Overall, definitely worth checking out, especially if you're looking for some good menudo and a solid butcher shop. read more

I walked in here around 6pm to buy some items. Opened the door, girl in the front didn't even knowledge me after i said hello. She just walked to the back. I walked out. read more

I've been going to Carniceria Los Compadres for years. I originally started going to the Lynwood location and continued going to the Downey location after I moved. I've always been happy with the quality and service, which is why today's experience was disappointing. I ordered tasajo today, but what I received looked more like thin-cut strips of ranchera, and to make matters worse, the pieces were very small. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never had an experience like this. Honestly, it felt like I was given whatever pieces of meat were left over rather than what I actually ordered. I hope this was just a one-time issue because I've always considered Los Compadres one of my go-to carnicerias. I'm hoping they can do better and maintain the quality that has kept me coming back for so many years. read more

Service was good but the meat was Less then average for it being "PRIME" very cheap quality prime maybe a decent choice grade but not worth 17$ a pound better off going to Carne y mariscos luis or Su carne that's real prime read more

This place was great. I loved they had an everything I needed for my carne asada. They had fresh veggies, lots of different types of meats. They had prepared salsas, chips, Chiles, cheese, sodas. They have everything but the beer I think lol. Cool spot. The service was good, everyone was friendly and attentive. The place is clean and well organized. read more

Love this place always recommend it. Ima give them 5 stars just cause I love the customer service the meats are high quality and tender. But today they did me kinda dirty I got 8 lbs of preparada and my first few top pieces of meat perfect then bam around 6-7 lbs of straight fat. Meat came out chewy not tender everyone at my get together thought the same. Hopefully next time it isn't like that . When I mean chunks of fat I mean big pieces like the photo it resulted on my meat being really charred from the fat burning. Idk if it was just to make weight but man kinda disappointed. Still gonna give them another chance tho! Again, great place great meat selection great customer service that's why the five stars. read more

So before I usually ordered a burrito from here for 12$ with a free drink, like beef beans and cheese. Later on, cheese started to cost extra. Till today, I ordered a burrito just beef and beans, costing 16$. Now here's the worst part, they dont include free drinks anymore except weekends. So im disappointed a paid 16$ for a burrito with no drink which is now ridiculous. Wouldn't recommend eating from there for their upcharge prices read more

Review #646 None Elite Squad I totally recommend this Carnicería! the meats are top quality, grade A.. its Fresh, it looks good .. clean i can't say how satisfied i am with what theyre selling. Everyone is Friendly..they show how grateful they are for your business.. having a get together BBQ? I say come here and you will be satisfied with the taste and what you got for what you paid. Highly Recommend 5 Stars! read more

Carnicería Los Compadres just keeps on proving to me that it's simply the BEST, time and time again! There's other good ones out there in the La area but no one does it like them. The perfection of their cuts and marinade doesn't compare, they do it best. The meat literally falls apart when your invitees try to get some from the pot. El Compa Freddie always shows me love and gives me that top quality service. He remembers our previous conversations and that's always appreciated. My kids don't let me buy meat from other places, and I don't care too either. Carniceria Los Compadres is the Best! read more

The cooked food is all exceptional. The chicharron is amazing!!!! As for the butcher... the meat cuts are, ok. read more

RUDE ASS carniceros! They don't have a ticketing system so it's hard to tell who's next. They'll send you to one side to start a line but even then, they'll skip you and when you tell them it's your turn, they're impatient. I won't be coming back. read more

Best meat! Clean storefront, fair pricing and friendly service!! We typically get the ranchera preparada, mango habanero pork belly & the chicharrones. There's also all of the sides conveniently available; flour tortillas Sonora style, salsas preparadas, guacamole, michelada cups. Everything is top tier quality & all conventionally found in one location. What more can you ask for from a carnicería? Stop by and try it out!! read more

I love this market! That wings I bought were preseasoned mango habanero and they were delicious. Just so you know they are not pre-cooked. I cooked them! I also bought chipotle chicken and preseasoned chicken fajitas. I can't wait to try the other chicken, but this was delicious! read more

Carniceria Los Compadres - I got prepared half chicken - Meat Shops Near Me - Downey, California

Literally stumbled into Carnicería Los Compadres while running errands and... best. decision. ever. First time we grabbed ranchera, marinated chicken, and costillitas for a family BBQ and omg it was elite. Like, everyone was eating and then immediately asking "wait where did you get this meat??" Went back again (because duh) and picked up some chorizo seco in habanero flavor plus more meat, and the carnicero was so nice he even threw in free salsa. The vibes, the service, the flavor 10/10. Los Compadres is officially that spot now. read more

Love coming here, they stay open late. Food is good quality. Everyone is nice and friendly, store is well kept. They also sell produce which is a plus. Would really recommend over other meat markets. read more

I found a video of this place on my reels. We were in the area yesterday and decided to bring home some meat to cook. (Btw we live 2 hrs away from this location). The two gentlemen working that greeted me and hubby, were friendly and provided great customer service. The lady at the register does not greet you but she was helpful when we asked for a restroom. I have to say the meats we got a few different choices were all so good! The flavor, the tenderness of each meat was perfect. Our favorite was the ranchera but it was different cut, the gentlemen helping us recommend it. Great meat! The chicken was also very tasty, juicy and had a great flavor. Overall I wish we had this meat market where I live, (Coachella Valley), :) will be back whenever in the area. read more

Local meat market today I've tried their taco special 4 tacos and a can soda $10.99. Had birria, asada and two chicken tacos. All tasted great good flavor I trying to eat healthy lol. The chicken has excellent flavor. I've have ordered the marinade chicken that they sell very tasty. The chef was very friendly. Good food great price ps the Green salsa has some kick. read more

I our 2 t bone ateaks ($47) and 1 cooked grilled fish taco to go. Check your receipts! Be ready to pay the salsa for EACH of your tacos. The girl at the register said they charge $1.50 for EACH LITTLE container (1 oz)!! When I mentioned to her that each taco should come with salsa, she replied, "well those are the little taco places out there, not here". read more

First time here and definitely wrong advertising! I ordered diesmillo preparado for $7.99 and got charged $8.59 per pound. I brought it up to their attention, and they said they forgot to change it, that their price just increased. I'm sure they raised it for the holidays! They were rude and definitely last time buying meat for parties here. read more

Just went to this carniceria. Nowhere are the prices for salsa listed. I checked out and I noticed that the price of salsa was more than the price of meat. I purchased 1.07lbs of diesmillio, and guacamole salsa. The guacamole salsa was more than the price of the meat. Outrageous. Had I known I would have gone to Vallarta or the carnicera on Florence. read more

Great food and great quality of meat. I'm lucky enough to work right next to this place and every time I don't have lunch I only come here. I usually get the burritos and they never miss.

Great place the food in the kitchen is amazing tacos are the best in town !!! Definitely come back

This review is for the two burritos I purchased. Ordered a asada burrito and Al pastor burrito. The al pastor meat was salty and dry. Each burrito was $10.99 plus tax. The asada was better but I must say that I would not come back for the burritos or the other food items on the menu. My friend referred me here and assumed it would be a good burrito but it was not. I also tried the tamal de elote. $1.99 plus tax came out $2.29. The tamal was good. My mom thought it was too sweet but I think that's just her preference. read more

the meat is very good, tasty and fresh. I also used to buy their guacamole and guacasalsa but they've changed their ingredients. What used to be tasty is now over seasoned. The guacasalsa has become super hot which overshadows the avocado flavor and the guacamole is sour from lemon or lime but it's too much. I tried stirring it up and ended up throwing them both away. This is the third time in a few months this has happened.so disappointed because I would buy these weekly. read more

I'm on the fence, I didn't enjoy the burrito i got, i had high expectations, but the one thing that bothered me was how they don't change gloves when handling money then working on my burrito. Ive only been here once so maybe it was just an innocent mistake (i'd like to think). Overall, i was disappointed. I'll definitely come back and try the meats that i can cook for myself, hopefully it'll sway my judgement. Forsure, I won't be going back for another burrito. read more
