Terrific! Just terrific! The service was fantastic, the food was fantastic, and the ambiance was fantastic!! The entire place made me very happy and full! read more

When I lived in the Clinton area I often ate at Los Compadres and considered it the best Mexican fare in town. My wife and were going through Clinton on our way to The Lake and stopped in for dinner. It was disappointing from past experience. I'll compliment the servers who were prompt and friendly, but that's where the satisfaction ends. I was left wondering if Los Compadres had changed ownership and/or management since I was last there. They used to have a Camarones a la Diabla entree on the menu, which was one of the best I'd ever had. The shrimp were numerous and plump; the sauce was thick and rich; and the taste was muy delicioso. Not so this time. The portion barely covered the plate; the shrimp were few and small; and the taste was akin to that Mexican fast food place across the street, which isn't really Mexican. Sorry, Los Compadres. Adios! read more

I've been to Los Compadres several times and tried several different dishes. I can honestly say I have not found one thing on there menu that is even close to authentic "fresh" mexican food. I think everything comes out of a can and everything definitely tastes, looks and feels microwaved. On several occasions we have also had issues with not having enough plates or silverware. When asking why they always responded that they don't have enough even when there were only a few people in the restaurant. The most troubling however was how the employees were treated. I often heard the owner yelling at them and bad mouthing them. The rudeness was terrible to listen too and I felt so bad for the poor people being yelled at and demeaned. I will not return to this establishment. Poor food, poor service and poor treatment of humans. read more

Really sweet service is the highlight of this place. The ladies working the front of the house are as sweet as clover honey. The food is pretty good too. The salsa has fresh ingredients and a little chunkiness to it. And chips are brought to the table hot. I had pork carnitas. While a little greasy, they were also pretty tasty! I ordered a side of chorizo, which is not on the menu here. I put the sausage in the beans and rice and really kicked up my plate's flavor. All in all a solid place and just a tic short of four stars. read more

Delicious! Nice chunky salsa . Thin hot chips. Excellent service! Authentic Mexican food. Chile rellenõ was yummy! And we even had fried ice cream. Anything with shredded beef or shredded chicken is excellent. Server was very attentive! read more

I hate to say it but the food is yuck. Tried three different times and never liked it. The owner is a very nice man who cares about his customers. I would love to be supportive but the food just isn't good. read more

The food was good, I had a chicken chimichanga and chili rellano. My boyfriend order dirty queso (queso with taco meat mixed it), they didn't know what it was, but made it for him once he explained it. It was ok, we've definitely had better. Our server didn't know what chorizo is, which is kinda scary in a Mexican place. But she was new, so I guess I should cut her some slack. The salsa was on the watery side. We stopped in here during a road-trip, so we probably won't be back. But if I lived there, I'm sure we'd go again from time to time. Certainly nothing to write home about, but no real complaints. read more

My wife liked her meal but it was beef based. Mine was chicken based and it was tuff and dry with no sauce to help it out. If every other resturant is closed I might try it again. Or maybe not. read more

The salsa is made from scratch and it's wonderful. Tacos were perfect and the Margareta's delightful

Simply horrible and over priced. Ordered a Asada Burrito and is was a cold tortilla with cheese shreds and Taco Bell quality steak. Came with refried beans and tasteless rice. Utterly horrible. Kids didn't finish their food - looked like something from the frozen section of the across the street at Walmart. read more

LOS COMAPDRES: i can't say enough good things abou the place (i signed up on yelp.com just to right a revies) i live and work in clinton and I/WE (my work crew) eats at LOS COMPADRES at least 3 times per week. the staff is verry friendly and the food is GREAT and verry reasonably priced. they serve beer and margarita's the best part is the Fajita's and every thing else on the extensive(not to be confused with expensive) menu!!!! read more

horrible. don't do it! On the way back from the lake stop by the Subway across the street instead!

I would have to agree that this is a nice and inexpensive restaurant in clinton. Passing through my wife and I stopped here and had a nice meal. Salsa is a little spicy which was great for us. Explain your order more than once..... read more

Stopped here for lunch on our way from Branson to Kansas City. The restaurant is extremely clean and the service was impeccable and fast. The food is very good. Some people complain in reviews that it's "not authentic" and thank god for that because I hate authentic Mexican food. I had an "Express Lunch" one tamale and rice and beans and it was swell. Sure, it might have been frozen or out of a can. So? It was $4.99! The service was crazy fast, too. My daughter asked for some special stuff and they did everything right. We will definitely go back. They treated us like honored guests! read more

Not very good. Ordered carne Asada tacos and cheese did. Cheese dip served just over room temp. Tacos were just so so. Froze my ass of in there as they have all the fans at full speed. I would recommend avoiding this place read more

Food was the usual. Had chicken tacos. The girl that was our sever was overly bubbly and pushed us to get just one margarita each, opposed to a pitcher (which we can drink together). When asked how the margaritas were we were nice and said good, she said "I told you, perfect amount". Before asking if we wanted anything else she offered our bill. We felt pushed so we just got our bill and left. And not to mention she practically paced by our table, literally staring at us to the point of awkwardness. Not the restaurant I'm giving 2 stars to, just the awkward, overly nice, fake waitress. While finishing our food we found another Mexican restaurant to enjoy a pitcher of margaritas.. read more

We have eaten here twice Dolly thinks the chicken taco salad is exceptional. I had tacos that were good also. The chips were light and fresh,although salsas are very much personal taste I did enjoy! read more

Great service but the food was terrible. The taco meat was chewy and flavorless. Paid without eating even three bites. The waiter was very friendly... I hope he has moved on to a better place that deserves his quality of work. read more

Prior to being hired as a busgirl at Los Compadres, I had always enjoyed eating there because I am a huge fan of Mexican food. The food is great, and the owner and his staff are all super friendly. Now that I work there, I eat their food even more frequently and have never stopped loving it. Los Compadres is definitely worth visiting if you ever find yourself in the small town of Clinton, MO. read more

Authentic, consistent good quality, clean, friendly and the place to eat mexican. A bonus is they have a good selection of top shelf tequila and cold draft beer. I have lived in the Tuson area and am no stranger to good mexican food and Los Compadres will compete with any of then north or south of the border. It is now our home away from home for meals. Irving makes the best Flan ever. read more

I loved this place!!! And it is very reasonable price wise! I visited 2 times the week I was in Clinton, wish I had just went here everyday rather than visit the other restaurants. Both meals were served hot and quick and tasted great! read more

Went for lunch. Ordered a chicken tostada. No beans on it (they forgot????) and chicken not even seasoned. Three of us were not impressed. I did like the beans (swiped some from husbands plate.) read more

This food is not authentic whatsoever. I got chicken tacos with rice and beans and pretty much everything on the plate was just okay. The reason I gave it 2 stars is because the wait staff was friendly and he refilled our drinks quickly. If you're looking for Mexican food in Clinton, you have got to try El Camino Real. It is truly authentic, great waiters, and the food is DELICIOUS!! read more
