This place is kind of a dive. I don't mean to say that you shouldn't eat here. On the contrary, the food was pretty good! But I went there today with some family and was hoping to find a Mexican restaurant that's comfortable for eating on the property. It's a really small space, I think there were 4 to 6 tables, and somehow I didn't get that from looking at the yelp reviews. For the food alone, the place is at least worth 4 stars. The Guacamole here is better than at many, many places... freshly made, has enough salt, cilantro... I'm a guac snob, and I liked this. The chips are a typical fried tortilla, and they were good. 3 of us had Quesadillas, one with mushrooms, one with beef, and the other with shrimp. We all liked them. One of us got a burrito, which was pretty hefty, and they liked what they got. Same person got a slice of Tres Leches and a slice of cheesecake and loved them. Service was fine. The place is on a corner with plenty of street parking around (on a Saturday afternoon). It's not much to look at but I would return with a smaller group. read more

This place food is alright but not even worth the price first of off. I am pretty sure I got ripped off with my mom bc they charged us 50 dollars for 2 order of taco, two drinks and chips with guacamole. But I look at the price online and it should of been around 28 or 30 BUT 50 IS INSANE. I used to come here all the time but after that never again. If you do come here I would HIGHLY SUGGEST THAT YOU CALCULATE WHAT YOU ARE GETTING FROM HERE!! read more

Delicious steak burrito! Fast delivery service, and spicy seafood soup. I called in and did not use Uber eats/ Door dash services. Enjoy!

Was in the mood for some nachos and some real deal authentic tacos..... Just a heads up that this taco joint is really a take out joint ... they have some seating for about 16 people or so ... they do have table service .......... We were three people so we ordered 9 tacos total; 3 grilled steak, 3 salted beef & 3 grilled chicken .... All were very delicious super fresh & tasty; must add their green sauce to everything & a Lil of their hot sauce ... ask for sour cream & they give you the bottle ... nice !!! Super fresh guacamole with nachos !!! Also had their loaded nachos also delicious .... Very clean & neat form the front to the back of the house ... prep area & kitchen wide open .... Definitely our new taco joint !!! Thanks, Greg D & Family read more

I have never had to write a negative review before, but this restaurant is ridiculous. I just moved to the neighborhood and live right above Compadres. My issue is their LOUD MUSIC playing early in the morning until late at night when they close. I'm disabled and unable to work, therefore I spend my time at home. I can't even enjoy myself, rest, relax or SLEEP. I don't understand why the music has to be so loud! I went in there a few times to ask them to lower the music and the guy was rude AF! I've called and the same thing, just rude employees altogether. I've read some of the reviews on Google and many of them were bad/negative. I honestly don't care about their food, as I do not eat Mexican food. I just want to be able to rest and sleep at night like everyone else without having to hear loud music underneath me. I hope they just leave and relocate somewhere else Not in a residential area. read more

I asked them to add peppers onions and tomatoes to my 13.50$ shrimp quesadilla and they charged me 23? With the cost of two beverages . Feeling completely ripped off and will never come here again. I will add the flavors are good but that's only because I added the extras otherwise you'd just be paying 13$ for shrimp and cheese and a tortilla. read more

I got their veggie burrito without cheese/sour cream. It was simple but delicious. This place has been here for a long time. Quality hasn't changed read more

I'm not usually a fan of Mexican food so I came in with low expectations. A very small private little place, they took my order rather quickly and prepared it quickly as well. I ordered a steak taco and a shrimp taco as well as pastor Torta. The steak taco left much to be desired. I was a bit disappointed with the portions and the steak was quite bland and unseasoned, but with the lime and red/green sauces it came with, it helped merry the flavors more. The vegetables were chopped unevenly so presentation wise couldve done better in that regard, but as I took a bite, although the steak was tender it left me wanting more spice and salt overall. The shrimp was slightly better, had a nice touch of seasoning on it that was accentuated by the acidity of the lime. The radishes on the tacos also left a nice fresh crunch that helped each bite go down smoothly. My favorite part was the pastor torta, I threw it in my air fryer to add crunch to the outside of what was typical sub bread, but the meat itself was tender, and a good ratio of meat/cheese/vegetables which was helped by avocado that added creaminess to the sandwhich. It was a decent size as well and there seemed to be some sort of a thousand island dressing I thought was solid as well. Was definitely not lacking in flavor comparably to the tacos. All in all, a decent little spot but a bit pricey. $19 for 2 tacos, a torta, and a snapple, perhaps I will try something else on the menu and have a better experience. read more

We used to come here only for the Horchatas and Limonada which are delicious and finally tried the food last week. It's so good we ordered 3x's this week! We've tried the cheese quesadilla, steak and chicken tacos (traditional and American style) and the fresh guacamole with the chips and everything is fresh with no artificial ingredients. I love that the tacos are loaded up with lots of meat and everything is seasoned well. That green hot sauce is just right on everything. The guacamole is really fresh and delicious. The delivery was fast and on time and when we did pick up everything was ready within the time frame. We don't have too many food options in this area and no Mexican ones, so this is a nice addition to the neighborhood. read more

Hands down my fav restaurant when I looking for authenticity! Super home vibes, everything is always perfect

If you ask for chicken enchiladas they give you steak So You must check your order before leaving . And if they don't want to change it call the cops read more

My tacos were ok. Just ok The reviews did not match what I had. The best taco was the salted beef! I wish I would have gotten all three as salted beef. read more

Compadres Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

I love this Mexican restaurant. It's nothing big or fancy, but the food is delicious hands down. Their delivery is also always on par! Quick, fresh, and yummy. So far I've tried their tacos, fajitas, burritos, quesadillas, and natural juices. I haven't had anything that I didn't like! My go to order is a jugo de jamaica, steak tacos, rice and beans, and a chicken quesadilla. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area! read more

This is by far the worst restaurant in queens. They're super expensive, they don't get your order right and their customer service is absolutely horrid. I was charged 25$ for two guacamole dips and a chicken quesadilla WITH NO CHIPS INCLUDED! They advertise the chips on their menu but you have to pay for each thing separately. I waited a half hour for just guacamole. They weren't even willing to fix it to make the customer happy. Disgusting. If you want to waste money and be completely frustrated then order from this place. read more

Ok.. from the outside I was like "oh, god" but inside I was very surprised. I thought it was going to be a deli but it's not. The workers are very very nice, patient and friendly. The atmosphere is very plain with the exception of a few sombreros hanging on the walls. The restaurant is small but clean. Our order consisted of steak tacos, chicken tacos, a shared nacho platter, cheese quesadilla, and the Mexican sodas. The tacos come one of two ways : Mexican (just cilantro) or American (lettuce sour cream). I got the American way because I hate cilantro. The chicken was good but I'd pass next time because I don't like dark meat chicken.. the steak though..... dio mio..... HEAVENLY! The nachos were very good too - cheesy goodness! The quesadilla was very big and filled with lots of flavor. I would deff come here again! read more

Compadres Restaurant - tacos(2 Al Pastor, Carne Enchilada and 1 Chicken) - Mexican Near Me - Jamaica, New York

Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. Ordered a CHICKEN quesadilla and got a tortilla with 5 lbs of cheese, no chicken. The sour cream I'm pretty sure was out of date... diarrhea! We also got the chicken enchiladas with red sauce. It looked like a dog had the runs. The rice was okay, and the beans tasted old. Green sauce was meh. read more

Dined in for lunch with a colleague. I ordered enchiladas con mole pollo. There were four rolled tortillas in an order for $14 which I'd consider a good deal. They came with rice and brown beans. The service was quick. I also had some horchata which was pretty good too. read more

I was craving tacos on a Friday night and decided to order them for pick up, came across Compadres. Order was ready in 7-10 minutes. When seeing it from the outside it looks like a cute Mexican deli on the corner. Walking in they have their seating for dining in, fresh homemade sweets and drinks in the coolers. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant, everybody was very friendly. I ordered 3 bistec tacos and it comes with lemons, radishes& hot sauces. The tacos come in 2 flour tortillas with meat of your choice, onions, & cilantro. I drenched my tacos in the sauces and it was soooo good! Definitely satisfied my taco craving for the week. Great authentic Mexican food in the neighborhood, check them out, they have a nice variety on their menu! Looking forward to eating here again! read more

Best Mexican spot in ozone park Howard beach ... food is soo fresh !!!! And delicious

If you're in the mood for cheap and fast Mexican food, there are better options in the area. The burrito bowls are kind of just a lump of too-sticky rice with the rest of the low-quality ingredients just thrown haphazardly in there. Their steak with salsa verde filled me up, but wasn't satisfying - the tortillas that came with it were soggy and broke apart instantly. And while the flautas were good, they barely had any meat in them. read more

Ever had food make you happy dance?? Well this food will! I have been a customer for a little while now and have yet to have a serious bad experience ( Grubhub issues with restaurant in the past). Their food definitely falls into the category of home cooked meals, the shrimp enchiladas are not sloppy or smidgen in any way, the chicken burrito is jam packed with chicken, rice and beans I just wish the sour cream was inside. Their nachos okay their nachos are astonishing, the chips are thick enough to never be stale or soggy. The nachos have enough condiments for each chip and are crunchy with every bite my only recommendation is to add guacamole b.c they do not include it automatically. read more

Veggie burrito with guacamole was very good! Fillings included rice, cheese, sauteed peppers and mushrooms. Green salsa it came with was also nice. read more

I am impressed, Compadres Restaurant was actually phenomenal. This place is a vibe. We had Pastor Torta that was certainly flavorful and delicious. Service was great and every one working here was really nice and helpful. Why would you want to go anywhere else besides Compadres Restaurant? read more

I made an order for delivery and the delivery came within about 40 minutes. The food was very yummy. I ordered a chicken quesadilla, a shrimp quesadilla and a pork burrito. They all had very good flavor. The only reason I didn't give it a five star was that when I received my food it was on the colder side. Other than that, the food was great! I would definitely recommend read more

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant in ozone park and the delivery guy that always wear the supreme helmet is lighting fast. Love this place , keep this gem alive everyone. read more

Hands down the best authentic Mexican food that this area has to offer. I order from here consistently and it's always great! Personally recommend the chicken burrito with extra green sauce, but everything else I've tried has been amazing as well. Thank you compadres! read more

The food was AMAZING. As a Mexican I can appreciate real authentic food and this was deff it!! The place itself is a small little restaurant but the food is 5-stars. Took me back to a little Fonda en Mexico. Recommend it 100%. So happy I found this place, will deff be going back ***Update: had to come back and RAVE about the tortas de milanesa!!!! OH MY GOD I am drooling as I'm writing this. I had an order of torta de milanesa (carne de res, not chicken.) and a jarrito de tamarindo for 4 nights in a row!! The workers are extremely nice and patient. Again I can not say enough good things about this place. Even my mom who is EXTREMELY picky liked this place! Delivery is always quick and they've never messed up any of my orders. So happy I've found this place. read more

Tuna Salad Sandwich, Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana, Bacon Cheeseburger? Visually treading up and down the menu and reading these non Mexican food options is slightly unsettling. I'm sure the three eye sore items are prepared well enough, but alas, it cheapens the mood. Three tacos consisting of Lengua De Red (steamed tongue) which was simply delicious, every bite was savored as I did with equal ambition and delay for the second taco, the Carnitas (fried pork) taco. The Carne Asade (grilled steak) bombed as it was seemingly sitting a while, dry and unable to resurrect with limes and hot sauce. Two dollar and fifty cent tacos are still alive and well at Compadre's in Ozone Park, NY. read more

People at work have been ordering from here quite often so I thought I would meet a friend there for a bite to eat. A rare find in the community....authentic Mexican food in a casual setting... staff are very pleasant and eager to help. They seem to do a lot of takeout business. The nachos were spicey and very tasty. We ordered our chicken and steak tacos american style with shredded lettuce, tomato and cheese. The meat was tender and seasoned well. We both enjoyed our visit and left not only with a burrito bowl, steak tacos, and nacho chips with guac for those we left at home, but take-out menus in hand as well! read more

Ordered take out , very splendid place. Family run and amazing food. Ordered the tostadas and Cuban Sandwich . Both was bussin no cap.

The food was so good, by the time I thought about writing his review my plate was clean! I never thought to stop here, it's tiny and from the exterior you might not realize it has a dining in option. But I am so glad I came here, and so glad I checked yelp to find this place, because the reviews def enticed a well deserved visit. The food was great! I loved it all, from the fresh homemade nachos, with real chicken, sweet jalapeños, crema, and a melted cheese you'd want to drink! But my mission to try enchiladas was a success, I've never had enchiladas like this, saucey, spicy, and crispy. It managed to fulfill all the wishes of a well rounded dish. The sauce was amazing, I wanted to dip french fries in it! The employees were so nice, the family vibe created a warm ambience which made the entire experience fun. But beware of the flan!!!!! It will make you come back, because it was so amazing. I hope you read this, and give them a try. I love these mom and pop restaurants where the food makes you feel like you're eating something authentic in a friends home. read more

Lovely food, I ordered in because my son and I are snowed in here in this part of NY and the refreshing customer service and prompt delivery of the food made for a great experience, I will definitely be ordering food here again! read more

Great, fresh food. Highly recommend their burrito bowls. Their chipotle chicken is also delicious. However one star off because of inconsistency-- sometimes they give one piece of chicken instead of two. Delicious none the less. read more

Been craving Mexican food during this quarantine, so I decided to order from compadres. I've ordered from them before and remembered that their quesadillas were bomb, so I ordered flautas, a steak quesadilla and tacos al pastor.
