Great service, food was prepared fast. My husband and I will return because it is just around the corner from our home.

Compadre Burrito

Portion, prices and location is great, but food authenticity is disappointing. I ordered the Comprade Burrito which was massive (I ended up eating half of it for lunch the next day) and we were able to walk to the taqueria from a different event we were at downtown. We got there right before closing so it was pretty quiet so I'm not sure how crowded it gets during normal dinner hours. You order at the register and then seat yourself, so that was all easy and we obviously got seats easily. The waitress was super friendly too! The disappointing piece was the actual food experience. It was exciting to see how big the burrito was, but the taste was very Americanized. I feel like a lot of taquerias in SLO county don't have enough flavor with their food. It makes me not want to eat Mexican food when I'm here and I wait to eat it when I'm in the Bay Area or SoCal.

We walked in and the ambience was very nice. The inside was very clean. Everything was in order as…read morefar as chairs and tables. I didn't get our waiter's name, but he was very friendly, welcomed us and told us we could sit wherever we would like and he took our order. He was Very friendly, very playful, which we enjoyed very much talking to him during our order. I Had lunch with my coworker. I ordered the Chile Verde plate. The meat was very tender and the chili sauce that was in it was not spicy but had a good flavor. The beans and rice gave it a great touch cause they both had a really good flavor as well. It came with either corn or flour tortillas which I ordered the corn tortillas which were very soft and tasted homemade. I will definitely eat there again when I'm in town. But you will have to go there and eat to form your own opinion.

Mmm! This restaurant has the best tacos and most friendly service ever. This is our 2nd time here…read moreand it's going to be our regular stop when we drive up and down from the bay are to SoCal. I love getting the 2 taco plate with Chile verde and carnitas and my husband gets shrimp or fish dishes. We also enjoy the freshly made complimentary chips and salsa. We had a friendly female server our first time and this time we met Nacho who was so nice and welcoming. We could tell that the place really prioritizes their customer service along with their food. We will be back!
