Not the best steak fajita and house wet burrito. Stale corn chips with a side of crunchy rice and bland beans.
Kenny H.

The service during this experience was much better. But I cannot say the same for the food it's just average.

Carne mas

The dinner was good! I came in for the first time on a slow evening. There wasn't many customers eating and there were two waitresses working. I question whether the restaurant owner has expressed to the waitress's that they would like them to stay "busy" while at work. Meaning they are cleaning and doing something at all times even when business is slow. I have worked in restaurants like this. The downside to that is when the restaurant is slow there should not be any cleaning while people are eating. The smell of cleaning products is very unpleasant. There should not be Windex at the bar, cleaning liquor bottles. And there should not be floor cleaner and mopping taking place.

Tonight's special was quesobirreria with rice and beans.

Service was great. Food was tasty and came out quickly. Nice clean restaurant. Stayed near there for the night and decided to try it out. Had a great dinner and prices were reasonable.

This is a combination plate of a chimichanga and chalupa.

Our server was great, but the hostess was not super friendly. She basically rushed us to a table, pointed at which one was ours, dropped the menus off as she walked by saying something we couldn't understand. The food was pretty good! The chicken was very good, but, to this day, I have never had good ground beef at a Mexican restaurant - this was no different - the ground beef was not good. Otherwise my chicken chimichanga and rice and beans were awesome! The atmosphere was also very colorful and authentic.

Enchilada a la crema

We always order ahead and pick up here. They make it quick and there is always so much food!! The inside is nice and has a vibe to it. The staff are very kind here as well. For peninsula mexican food, it's pretty good, lol! Come here and try it out.

Chicken burrito
Mini H.

Great friendly efficient service. Chicken burrito was really good, hot, fresh and tasty. Their salsa has nice flavor. Prices reasonable for the quality and quantity of food.

Tasty food and good service. Cold beer and hot plates, never disappointed. Will be back weekly.

Enchilada and two tacos. Very good, with excellent refried beans!
Michael H.

Update: 8/31/22 This is probably my fourth time at El Compadre. It might be my last. The chips were better tonight than on previous occasions, but the food was marginal. But what really caused the reduction in stars for El Compadre was the service tonight. Our server was aloof, lacking personality. But when my wife asked to have her water refilled, he said, 'I guess so.' WTH?!? You guess so?!? Maybe if you were paying attention and refilling people's water, we wouldn't have to ask. Will we stop going to El Compadre? I guess so.

The food is always great and served fast. This time we ordered to go and she offered to bring it out to the car. How nice is that.

Decent across the board. Not a bad place to grab a bite. But do not expect this place to live up to some other Mexican food in the PNW.

I've been to this Mexican restaurant once. The food was ok and the staff was a little slow. I'd come again but it wasn't the best 7/10

Taco Wok - Burrito

Taco Wok

(7 reviews)

Small little walk in spot with a pretty small menu. Not many choices, and kind of lacking full…read moremeal choices. The day we visited they were out of stuff to make dragon bowls. While looking over the menu of items that we could order (tacos, burrito) it was noted that prices are pretty high. Some of the tacos seemed interested and we wanted to try, but didnt want to pay $8 for one taco. We opted for a few of the chicken and pork tacos ($4/ea) and a burrito ($18). We were handed a buzzer to take with us for the wait. Once the food was ready, we were buzzed. We were thanked for our patience. The wait was approximately 35 minutes. The burrito was more long than it was wide. It was served cut in half--so approximately the size of two of the small frozen burritos you would buy at the grocery store. It was kind of like something that someone with cooking skills could make at home. So pretty homestyle, IMO. I did like the cheese crust to seal the burrito, that was creative and gave it something you wouldn't normally find and a little extra flavor and personality. The tacos were good. The food wasn't bad, just think it was expensive for what it was. Would also be better if you could have a taco plate with rice and beans for a more well rounded meal. Two chicken tacos are $8, so I think some rice and beans with it would be reasonable. I hope to see an expansion of the menu in the future--or at least all of the menu available. Overall rating 3.5

Taco Wok is the name. Think about that. And here comes your Korean BBQ Taco! This is no fast food…read moretaco shop. It is a small, made-to-order restaurant and has seating for 4 people. The owner and chef, Indus, carefully crafts and prepares every single tasty item. Made to order. Tip: call your order in. You'll know about how long it will take and you give the chef time to custom make your order.
