She ordered the Texas-Style Quesadilla and I got the Taco Salad. The food was cooked to perfection and the portions were massive. We both had our fill and had to get boxes for leftovers. Between the great service, the excellent food, and the value for the portions, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Big combo, El Compadre in Mitchell is excellent! I ate there twice in this past week as I'm visiting from Central California. I grew up in Columbus and on my occasional trips here, I search far and wide for authentic Mexican food. El Compadre has a small section on the menu for actual Mexican food, not whitewashed, bland food like most of the other restaurants. Hands down, it's worth the trip. I ordered adobo chicken taco and a carne asada taco with a side of rice. The food was deliciously spiced, served piping hot and just the right amount of salt and flavor in the rice. The corn tortillas were fresh and perfectly warmed. The music playing at the visit during lunch was a reggaeton. The decor is lovely and lively and overall a clean appearance. Bedford, Paoli and a few others have an El Compadre. I highly recommend for REAL tasting Mexican food.

All tables receive free chips and salsa, with all of the salsas spicy but very flavorful. I got the enchiladas with chicken, which were amazing. The meat was tender and seasoned well. The rice was arguably the best part of the meal, as their Spanish yellow rice was amazing, especially when eaten with the beans. Service is good, with food generally coming out in 10-15 minutes. The ambiance inside is fun and makes it a great place for a large dinner, such as a birthday or any other celebration. 5/5

Obviously prepared in advance, they were bland. No flair. For $15 you get beans and rice and tortillas-- except they forgot the tortillas. No real presentation values. Slow service despite being almost the only ones in the restaurant. The stuffed chilies were.... greasy, their (red) sauce bland. Blah. We understand food costs are rising, but here, the quality is going down. I shrug. Lots of competition around town. The upsides are that it's clean, nice restrooms, and very polite. Downsides are slower service, and no flair. We don't drink alcohol, and didn't sample their drinks. Maybe those are good. We'll never know or care.

It's new to Bloomington, new to me, and has moved into first place in a town with many many options. Tacos El Pastor is so new I had to have Yelp add the restaurant. They have a food truck as well I believe, but this is the restaurant located where Juanita's used to be. The menu is typical of most places with all the options you'd expect, the interior is decorated like the others. The service was great - but it was empty so let's hope it continues when they get known in town. The food. Well, the food was simply better. I had the Fajitas Little Mexico, which is their version of combo steak-chicken-shrimp. There was an abundance of meats, plus perfectly cut onions and peppers. I ordered without tomato so don't know how those would be. It was flavorful, hot and delish. The side plate was the usual, with perfect refried beans, the lettuce and cheese, and rice. I opted for both flour and corn tortillas (I would guess that was an add-on but forgot to look at my receipt) - both were piping hot. All in all, best in town. I had debated between fajitas and the chimichanga and luckily my wife ordered the fajita chimi and I was able to rescue 1/4 of it from touching the sour cream 'just in case' she didn't finish it. I know her well, and it was a HUGE chimi. There was no way she was finishing so I planned ahead. She loved it. I did too. It was stuffed, big, and fried perfectly. The beans and rice were on the side, and the chimi had the steak, green peppers and onions. All in all, again, best in town. SO the only problem? When I return do I order fajitas or chimichanga? I'd like to branch out but I know that won't happen. I need my fix again. El Ranchero Southside, let it be known there is a new sheriff in town. We'll still visit because you're close, but I'll be heading downtown for at least half my Mexican dining from this point forward.
