While waiting for the 3 tacos I ordered, I looked around, finding this restaurant to be friendly, with beautiful paintings and pictures on the walls. There are several tables to eat at, and you can reserve ahead of time. The tacos were delicious at $15.99. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant. Parking is limited in the front, but the back has plenty of space for many vehicles. Enjoy!

The plates were filling, but don't expect to take home leftovers. I ordered a cheese enchilada with red sauce. The red sauce tasted like a mole and it was delicious! The beans and rice were good too. My husband ordered a chile relleno that tasted fresh. The batter wasn't too thick and it had the same red sauce. The complimentary chips and salsa came with both spicy and mild. The spicy was better and not too hot! It wasn't the best Mexican food I'd ever had but it was perfect for lunch and I'd go back. The staff was very friendly and our food came out quickly. To top it off they had cheap chilled beefed served with a chilled glass cup.

The runner was also not very friendly. The waitress was normal. Just normal. No one seemed very friendly unfortunately. The chips and salsa came out immediately. Therefore I gave them 2 stars instead one just one. The food was bland. The rice tasted like paprika. The beans tasted like lard. The tamales tasted like cinnamon-just wrong!!! The flautas were soggy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. The margarita was from a premix which was sour and gross. Not impressed at all. Unfortunately this place was suggested by my airbnb. But I won't be back, don't waste your time. I'd rather eat at the SeaQuake Brewhouse everyday than eat this.

Great lunch spot right across from the harbor!…read more We had a nice, cozy lunch break here. The restaurant serves solid, traditional American fare with good portion sizes--everything our family ordered was tasty and filling. 1. What we ate: My husband had the California Benedict, I got the Santa Fe Scramble, and the kids ordered from the kids' menu (pancake with hard-boiled eggs, and a classic egg scramble with bacon, hash browns, and toast). Kid pancake came with scramble eggs but they acomódate my youngest request and he got hard boiled egg instead. 2. Drinks: Peach smoothie, white mocha, and regular drip coffee. They also have a full coffee bar on-site. Vibe & Tip: The decor is rustic and charmingly local, featuring indigenous artwork, antler light fixtures, and comfortable wooden chairs. The interior is a bit dated and the restrooms could use a little attention, but the atmosphere is cozy overall. Pro tip: Ask to sit upstairs for a great view of the marina! We'd definitely eat here again if we're back in the area.

The restaurant lists itself as a 'healthy alternative' to other available restaurant food. IMHO,…read moretheir 'healthy alternatives' are not really very healthy. To be fair, most of the guests did not seem at all interested in healthy eating, so there's that. The menu includes apps, salads, hand held, pasta and entrees. We both chose the 'turkey pastrami' reuben. The turkey pastrami appears to be turkey spam. The ingredient ratio in the sandwich is fine. Plenty of meat in there. The fries accompanying the sandwich are frozen and just OK. The side salad was nice with dressing on the side. Full bar. Upstairs diningroom overlooks the marina. Service was minimal but acceptable. Nothing egregious. Private parking lot.

Sizzling Steak Fajitas Delight at Los Compadres During my recent visit to Crescent City, I had the pleasure of dining at Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant. Opting for the steak fajitas for two, I was thoroughly impressed. The steak was expertly seasoned and cooked to perfection, arriving on a sizzling platter accompanied by vibrant bell peppers and onions. The aroma alone was enough to whet the appetite. The accompanying sides--fresh guacamole, sour cream, and warm tortillas--complemented the dish beautifully. The portions were generous, making it a satisfying meal for two. The staff was attentive and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. If you're in Crescent City and craving authentic Mexican cuisine, I highly recommend Los Compadres. Their steak fajitas are a standout, and the overall dining experience is one to remember. read more

Worst service in the restaurant industry I've ever witnessed. Served my meals to other customers while half my order was here and the other to go. So I watched them eat their whole meal then still haven't received mine when they clearly showed up ten mins after I even ordered. This Buisness will never make it through winter here. sincerely, Ryan freeman read more

Fantastic spot! So glad we came here. The food was amazingly fresh and authentically Mexican. The co-owner, Tony (?) was very engaging and warm and helped us figure out how to put a delicious array of foods together.
