Took my wife's family to Los Compadres because they came to visit us from Ensenada, and we wanted…read moreto take them to enjoy some good Mexican food. I've been here before, and they never disappoint. The ambiance is very nice, with good Mexican music and a family-friendly atmosphere. We ordered some Aguachiles, Guacamole, Ceviche de Camarón, Camarones de Cilantro, Carne, a la Mexicana, which comes with tortillas and consume. The food was delicious, and the beers were cold as always. My total bill was $265.99 with tip, and it was worth it. Although this place is always pricey, you're paying for quality, not quantity. I am thinking about returning to watch a couple of World Cup games because I know the vibe will be fantastic.

I love how welcoming from when you walk in, being greeted, to being seated, to our server to the manager, nothing but excellence. The Restaurant and restrooms are always clean. Happy hour drinks are never watered down. I absolutely love coming here during happy hour after a long week. Thank you to the manager Pedro! You're doing a fantastic job!!

Great burritos, their salsa tastes amazing, and huge portions…read more I got a wet veggie burrito, half and half sauce, and it was a treat. It came with 4 tostada shells and salsa verde. Food was good, the burrito sauces were tasty and flavored well. I could easily share this portion size with another person. The hostess handling patrons and customers was super sweet to work with and order from. She did an amazing job handling customers that came into the restaurant. The restaurant itself was quite packed, get there early to secure a seat or (see if you can) call ahead of time. The price for the burrito was more expensive than typical places which is why I'd rate it 4/5 stars, otherwise 5 star food!

The atmosphere was extremely dark -- almost too dark. The restaurant itself is small and narrow,…read morewhich gives it the feel of a dim alleyway, decorated with colorful Mexican festive banners hanging overhead. Some people may enjoy that style, but for me it felt overly dark and somewhat cramped. The service was okay. Nothing particularly good or bad stood out. As for the food, based on previous reviews, I expected something above average or even excellent. That really was not the case. If you regularly eat authentic Mexican food, the food here is simply okay. It is not bad, but it is also not especially good. I ordered the combination plate with two tacos, one enchilada, rice, and beans. The other person ordered one enchilada, one taco, rice, and beans. Since we eat Mexican food frequently, we have a solid idea of what good Mexican food should taste like. The food here was decent enough to eat, but nothing memorable. One thing I did not appreciate was the pricing structure. The menu combinations appear one way at first, but if you choose a meat other than ground beef, there is an additional charge of one or two dollars depending on the item. The restaurant does disclose this, but only in fine print, so make sure to read carefully before ordering. Overall, I probably would not return because I know what genuinely good Mexican food tastes like. However, if you did not grow up eating Mexican food regularly, you may enjoy this place much more than I did. It may appeal more to people who are less familiar with authentic Mexican cuisine. Also, to be fair, I did not try the burritos, so those could potentially be better.

I came here with my family to celebrate my fathers birthday and I can say with full honesty that…read morethis place was amazing. I typically worry about going to mexican restaurants because they tend to be too americanized but, this place instantly blew us away. Most of what we ordered did not need any sauce since it was already nicely seasoned with a good amount of spice. I ordered the Tetela oaxaqueña which was stuffed with beans, queso oaxaca, and hierba santa. It was also accompanied by a small salad topped with a spicy sauce, and a piece of meat on the side. It was honestly the most delicious meal I've had and super filling! The ambience was also great! The restaurant is decorated really nicely, the staff is really nice, and they have a small stage for a band to play live at the restaurant. Again this place was amazing! Me and my family will definitely come back soon.

I'm also a sucker for a place that has a salsa bar (they also have beans, carrots and etc on the salsa bar) They have up close private parking The inside is very spacious with really big comfortable chairs. You can also see an open kitchen where they are cooking / cutting up the meat Each time I've came here, Lucy has taken care of us. -you walk up to the counter and order -they give you a number -then they call your number and you pick up your food. -Everything is self served.
