    Friends and I decided to go out to eat since it worked out that we're all together at the same time. I wanted a breakfast. I was also curious because I know Compadres Diner has Mexican food. They're on Route 9 in Saratoga they're in a very bright adorable blue building you go inside and there's the main Diner and then in the back they have a patio where you can bring a dog to sit outside. I brought my Charlie. Everyone was played when we got in they told us where we could sit and everything was clean and cute and nice. My one friend left because I bought my dog. My other friend and I ordered breakfast. My friend got eggs eyeballs up with a hash that he really liked. I got one egg bacon hash browns and in English muffin. Breakfast was really awesome I also got tea and horchata. The hash browns were lovely I haven't had any in a while. Everything was great. My horchata was awesome. We decided to get lunch because there's a mouse and we didn't want to shop and leave food on the counter until we displaced the mouse. We ordered a Philly cheese steak and al pastor tostadas. When we got home we were tired so my roommate put everything in the fridge. Normally if I know I'm going to eat it later I leave it out so it doesn't get cold. I was worried when I went to reheat it wouldn't be good but it was awesome. We had the tostadas. Roommate had two before me and then there was one left over. It is made with pork and I don't know it's in an Al Pastor but it is my favorite Mexican food item now. [Tostadas Choice of Meat, Black Beans, Lettuce, Tomato, Queso Fresco, and Sour Cream] I'm not a huge Bean fan but everything about this item was amazing and I will be ordering it again. The next day was lunch time and we pulled out a Philly cheese steak. I'd ask for the onions and peppers on the side cuz my stomach doesn't always like onions and peppers but there were some peppers in this though. There was also a container of onion and peppers. I took the fries and the sandwich out and put it on a tower grate that goes in the air fryer and halfway through I flipped the sandwich over so it get crispy on both sides. It's this thing was amazing leftover I can't imagine what it tasted like have you ate it there. And now that I'm thinking about it I really want to get in the car and go and get myself another Philly cheesecake. The fries were awesome they reheated awesome also. Roommate and I were very happy with the entire meal and the service. I would totally recommend people go to Compadres diner for breakfast and for Mexican. I didn't take any pictures there but when I had my yummy Philly cheese steak I took a few pictures of it and it is award-winning worthy.

    Soon to be called Compadres Diner, this new Mexican-American spot has something for everyone. The menu is extensive and has choices for traditional Mexican, Americanized-Mexican and regular hearty breakfast/lunch diner choices. We chose "regular" tacos, traditional tacos (one shrimp and one fish), tamales (which I was most excited about!), chips, salsa and guacamole. Servings are generous-especially the regular tacos and tamales. Traditional tacos are just the right size; the tortillas were a little different but homemade. Guacamole was delicious and so was the salsa. Homemade hot sauces had perfect kicks. I spied some other meals and observed giant fluffy pancakes, awesome looking omelettes and a kid enjoying his burger with fries. Service was friendly and fast. Wishing them long lasting success!! Will definitely be back.

    Best omelette I've ever eaten.cute little spot they have a outside patio definitely coming back . Thank you.

    Best omelette I've ever eat.Nice little spot they have a patio to sitting outside. Definitely coming back. Thank you!

    Penny à la vodka, chicken tacos. EPIC taco! The melted mozzarella on top holds it to altogether.

    Diner food to the MAX! Had the Penny à la vodka, chicken tacos. They also come in Alfredo chicken tacos, or pesto pasta chicken tacos. This is just one of the many crazy creations at this incredible diner. The staff is friendly, fast and efficient. The ambience was like any typical diner experience. Everything was very clean and well maintenance.

    Fajitas not what you expect.

    We are regulars for having Chipotle and it's typically good with an exception here and there.

Completely wrecked the entire bowl. My daughter had many hard chunks of rice in her bowl. My wife had the chicken and that was fine, she doesn't add much rice. Just thought people should know. If you go there, eat there so you can at least have a chance to get a bad meal corrected.

Not sure if they're training this evening, but we have experienced this multiple times at this location unfortunately. My kiddo loves this place, so we continue to go back. I've stopped getting food for myself as that means an even slower line for everyone else. 50% of the employees are working while 50% are talking, laughing and standing around. Another occasion, they made my bowl unbelievably spicy to the point I couldn't eat it, so it was a throw away scenario. It's challenging to sit, because the dining room is constantly filled with people standing in line. The photo taken was after 20 minutes in line.... Still waiting... Ultimately, it was a 30 min wait. It dramatically sped up when a young tall thin man with black hair and a young thin woman with braided hair came to the line. They were superstars and serviced 10 customers in less than 5 minutes.... I thanked the two speedy employees and THEY are the only reason I'm giving a 3 instead of a 1.

    Been there 5 or 6 times. 3 of those have been "WTH" experiences…read more All of these instances were around peak dinner time, 6pm or so. One time I got three burritos that were so small I couldn't believe that I'd paid $45 for them. This is common and why I normally (and will always now) go in rather than order on the app. Another time they ran out of cheese. At 6pm on a Saturday. Not sure if you're familiar with Mexican-adjacent cuisine, but cheese is typically an important of it. When I mentioned to the counter person that there was a store right down the street (they could walk to Market 32 in one minute) I got a dismissive response. I've been a cook in a handful of restaurants in my teens & 20s and managed a kitchen and we would solve that problem by doing just that, send someone to the store. Maybe corporate policy tells them they can't, but it reeks of not caring to solve an issue. Not that lack of cheese is a life or death situation, but... This last time, I see a guy making guacamole, but when I ordered some I was told there was none. So they hadn't planned ahead. Again, didn't kill me, but when I'm paying $15 for a burrito it would be nice to get the stuff in it I want. In conclusion, poor management. The staff is spotty, some are fine (even nice), some are sloppy or rude, but ultimately it's the manager's job to make sure all that is working. So far it's not.

    Over the last 4-5 times I have ordered food, this chipotle has the worst mgt and the staff is…read moreSloppy, rude and disorganized.

From the moment we walked in, the ambiance made us feel like we had stepped into a cozy Adirondack retreat --warm, inviting, and the perfect setting for a relaxing evening.

My husband ordered the filet mignon and declared it one of the best--if not the best--he's ever had (definitely in his top three!).

My tummy was more than satisfied on this cold evening. Service here was wonderful and the staff were attentive without being overly intrusive. The Wishing Well, a local favorite is where you go for an enjoyable evening of fine dining.
