There are plenty of places to go for tacos in Berwyn, but Dos Compadres has been getting my business since opening a few months ago. The place is small, with very limited seating, but most people get food to go. The menu is broader than a typical taco take-out place, including seafood selections and soups, but I've stuck to the tacos so far. Everything is made fresh to order, unlike some taco joints that will have piles of pre-cooked meat sitting on the back of the grill ready to fill tacos with. The tacos are made with the smaller tortillas, so adjust your order accordingly. The horchata is good, so are the licuados. I like prefer the red salsa to the green, the flavor is more nuanced.
I went in today and was informed by the very gracious Ivan that they were going to add fajitas to the menu, and that he was going to have a small portion prepared for me to try. After being handed the container of fajitas by the cook, he handed it to me with a fork because he wanted me to try them right away and let him know what I thought. The beef, chicken, and shrimp were fresh, with plenty of jalapenos in addition to the bell peppers, tomatoes and onions. Not bad at all for a take-out joint. read more
