Tacos beef and chicken !!
Michael P.

I did not have the greatest experience. Ordering was confusing if you want any changes. Salsa was watered down. Beans came from a can. I think I will take the drive to Bedford and get something else. Def taking a break from this place. When you move I'll try again. Since we live in Indiana, we're known as a farm fresh community. I expect that in a local restaurant and unfortunately El compadre doesn't do it for us.

Beef chimichanga meal

Great food and the service wasn't as bad as I'd read about. We went on a Saturday night around 6:30 PM. Because Paoli isn't that big of a town, I didn't think it was that crowded. All the food was excellent: chips/salsa, beef burritos, tamales, taco, and chimichanga. I did try the guacamole and it was fine - nothing spectacular but it was fresh. I would visit here again.

Pretty darn good Mexican food in the middle of southern Indiana. I was pleasantly surprised. Give this joint a try.

Excellent food at a remote location like this. Try veggie quesadilla and jalepino poppers.

Taqueria El Llano

First time here. Super friendly service. She told me it was free beef taco day with my order ! It…read morewas delicious. So was the marinated pork sandwich. Torta Al pastor I also had some horchata to go with it. She brought me three salsas to try in bottles. A creamy red, creamy green and a more traditional red salsa. All three were delicious ! I can't wait to go back and try more food !

A rally great spot for Mexican street tacos and various other delicious food items. Was passing…read morethrough town in between rounds of golf and stopped in for a quick Sunday dinner. Meal service requires you to order at the counter, then your food is brought out to you at a nearby table of your choice. This is a no-frills dining experience, but do not let that fool you...the food is top notch! I ordered a small variety of items to sample...a marinated pork taco, loaded steak fries and for dessert a flan. After a bit of a wait (they make everything to order), it all showed up at our table. The pork taco was dripping with charred pork flavor and came with grilled onions on the side. The double corn tortilla kept everything together as I dug in bite after bite. When the loaded steak fries showed up, my jaw dropped to the ground! This thing was big enough for 3-4 people to share...whoopsy! The crispy fries came layered with strips of grilled steak, a white cheese sauce, guacamole and a sour cream drizzle. Damn these things were good! And if that wasn't enough, I also ordered dessert because I am a sucker for flan (I grew up in Miami and have eaten probably one million flans). Honestly, was not a fan of their version's texture (too grainy, not creamy) and their sauce was not as sweet as many others I've had...but glad to have tried it. For being a small-town Indiana spot, I'd go back here no questions asked. There is an extensive menu for trying new stuff and I'd love to get that chance someday!
