First night here and sitting at the bar. The spicy marg is sub-par, salsa is liquified yet has some flavor, the Al Pastor was not spicy in the least bit and had chunks of fat. Service was good, bartender Michael all over taking care of his patrons! Benefit of the doubt on the 3 stars since it's my first visit. I may not be back soon, as I'll continue exploring! read more

11/23 Today came for some lunch . Unfortunately today was an off day. Today the chips a little stale and didn't know this but they charge an extra $3 for their habanero salsa. Seems a bit much. I had the 1/2 order of nachos w/al pastor. It was ok. Some of the chips were burnt and the meat was ok not a lot and seemed to be lacking flavor today. Or server was Helen she was ok seemed kind of rushed and annoyed. We were taking our time to decide and asking questions. The restaurant is always clean and nice. Just was an off day . Enjoy !!!! read more

Saturday, I ordered a dozen tamales. Somehow the order got mixed up. I got 2 dozen with an hour wait. It was worth the wait!!!

A pretty good mexican restaurant with wonderful service, Very consistent food. I ordered the chile relleno, pork tamale and chile colorado. I really liked their chile relleno, they use a different chile than what I'm familiar with, I like that it does not have a lot of seeds that is encountered by other restaurants. The chile colorado is different but quite good, I'm used to a spicier chile colorado sauce. Overall a very consistent food restaurant for mexican food. read more

Very disappointing! We have been here before and it was ok. Decided to give another try. I wanted something off kids menu as I wasn't that hungry and with chips and all it would have been the right amount, but Helen our waitress would let me order what I really wanted. So I opted for a #9 (taco with rice and beans. Asked what the charge for fish in taco would be and she said 1.50. I said ok. There was a nice amount of fish in taco but she'll want super crispy (half crispy half soggy. ) definitely have had way better fish tacos before from other places. When we got the bill, the up charge was actually three dollars. Normally, that is not a big deal to me, but I think it was like her attitude and lack of friendliness as a waitress. Overall, I definitely like the place we go to down the street better so I think I will stick with our regular Mexican restaurant on Longley Lane. read more

Los Compadres - Fish ONE - Seafood Taco - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Came here on a Friday evening and had the best time at a restaurant In a long time. Sat outside and it was completely gorgeous. Our server was so nice and made our evening spectacular. I enjoyed my carne asada and chili relleno combo plate. The margaritas were spot on. I tried a family members carnitas and that is what I am ordering next time. Really yummy with the fresh tortillas. Highly recommend coming to dine outside during the fall evening. read more

Busy day...Mother's Day around lunch. Staff were "all hands on deck" trying their best. 20 minutes to get my drink, 40-45 minutes to get my food. The worst part was the Bloody Mary cocktail and the food (Cheese enchiladas & chile relleno with beans & rice). The food didn't have any flavor and neither did the cocktail. Possibly the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. Will not be going back here again. The staff however are all very nice. read more

This place has very good food and drinks. They even have outdoor seating if you want. Spent our birthdays there. The fried ice cream is to die for. Love their chips, salsa and guacamole. read more

This place is always busy pretty much saying people come here again and again for the delicious, authentic Mexican food. The combination plate is a great way to try three different main dishes accompanied by beans and rice. I had the chile relleno, which was a large chile covered with a fluffy egg and cheese batter, prepared perfectly. Also, I had the chicken enchilada which was plentiful, tasty and fresh. The chile Colorado was served in its own bowl alongside the huge main plate. That tells you how much food was included in the combo plate!! The service was professional, proficient and friendly. The drinks were quite impressive with our table having margaritas of different natures, beers and wines. The ambiance is family friendly, comfortable and colorful. I will become a regular here, for sure! read more

My favorite spot to get margaritas in Northern NV! From the food, staff, and drinks everything is great at this location. I've come to this spot year after year and I always leave very happy and extremely full. The staff is very welcoming from the moment you walk in the door. They always keep this place very clean and they make sure they have cumbia or some great Mexican music playing to set the vibe. I usually order the chimichanga or in this picture I just got their street tacos with steak. Absolutely delicious. Funny enough this restaurant has some of the best french fries in Reno IMO. They are a must try!!! If you're in near South Reno and want a great place for drinks and dinner this is a must. read more

Los Compadres - 12. Two Tacos Combo - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Los Compadres is the perfect place to enjoy a great Mexican meal. The ambience is lively and festive. The service is the best. Carlos our server was perfect as was our buser also named Carlos. They both checked on us throughout our evening. I love their Frijoles de la olla, whole pinto beans, and the broth that comes with the beans in a bowl. The tacos, enchiladas, seafood and drinks are the best. If you are looking for authentic and delicious Mexican food, then Los Compadres is your place. Thanks, Conrado and Cindy read more

Why oh why has it taken me so many years to go back to Los Compadres? When my wife asked where I wanted to go for dinner, I mentioned this place and she looked at me like an alien took over my body as she knew I wasn't a big fan of Mexican food. Aside from the friendly service, the food was ever so delicious. I had the fish tacos and they delivered a taste bomb. Everything was so good, I can't wait to come back in the near future. I also liked the lighting as the tables were well lit, but the rest of the restaurant had a more subdued lighting. read more

I had lunch here today with my friend. Los Compradres is located in the SouthCreek shopping center. My friend and I were immediately seated in a comfy booth. We were served chips and a blended salsa that wasn't too spicy but just had a little kick. I ordered from the lunch menu. I chose a shredded beef enchilada with rice and beans. I was served a generous portion of food for the price. The beef in the enchilada was tender and juicy with just the right amount of enchilada sauce. The rice and beans complemented the enchilada. Our service was fantastic! Thank you! read more

Ever have a day that seems like it's going great and then BAM it's sideways? That was me today. And what did I need to make it better??? Margaritas and tacos. Headed on over to Los Compadres to see if this elixir would do the trick. Quickly was seated (happy to find it is Happy hour 3-6 M-Th) and ordered my Marg $8 HH special. Decided on a chicken taco salad and Hubs had the carnitas plate. Both were fantastic and while food and bevs can't fix everything-it is always worth a try. Los Compadres is located in a strip mall and has the typical Mexican restaurant decor-flags/hats/fiesta atmosphere. How can you not smile? read more

Service is consistently great at this place. Multiple people ask if we need another refill, more chips, etc., but not to the point of being annoying. I love the chips and salsa here. The salsa is puréed and has a tad bit of spice to it. Margaritas are good, not too sweet and come out quick! We love to sit on the patio when it is nice out! read more

Los Compadres - Shrimp with veggies - Mexican Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This is the first time we've been back to Los Compadres after a pretty bad meal, so we were eager to see if the food improved. Having dinner with friends on a Friday night, the place was predictably hopping but we were still seated pretty quickly. Our waitress was nice and polite and took care of us in spite of the quickly filling restaurant. The chips at Los Compadres are legit. Crispy and flavorful, it was disappointing that the accompanying salsa were so bland and completely lacking of flavor. I ordered the Menudo, surprised they served it on a weekday. The waitress asked if I wanted the "Pata" and I said sure. What a huge mistake. While the Menudo was actually quite good, but there was little actual Tripe and Hominy. What I had was a pile of Pata bones and not much else. What a waste of a potentially good dish. My dish was served with corn tortillas, which would typically be warmed in a steamer, leaving them warm, soft and hot. Not sure what happened to these but they were dry, hard and basically inedible. My wife ordered the Carne Asada. Her dish looked amazing but upon closer inspection, it was clearly under the heating lamps too long as the beans were a solid chunk of something and the rice was dry and formed into blocks of inedible decorations. Her steak was over cooked and her serving was 1/3 fat. If I thought the corn tortillas were bad, that was nothing compared to my wife's flour tortillas. They were dry and heat formed into a rolled block of concrete. These WERE completely inedible. If it were not for our friends, that recommended Los Compadres, we would have sent the food back, but instead we enjoyed our company and warmed up some left overs we had at the house. So disappointing. No bueno Los Compadres no bueno. read more

Got food to go tonight chicken enchiladas beans and rice, this had to be pretty made, got it like literally 3 minutes after I ordered it, it was awful enchilada no taste, just chicken, sauce on top, very little cheese, beans and rice, rice was old, stale, never again, and the place was empty at 6 pm on a Saturday night hmmmm read more

Service was very prompt from seating through paying our tab. We enjoyed the Carnitas plate. It was presented very nicely. The flavors were wonderful. We will positively be enjoying this restaurant again! read more

Always good Mexican food in Sparks, NV on Disc. Warm greeting and seated immediately. We sat in the bar area and our waiter arrived with chips and salsa and took our drink order. We ordered a skinny margarita and a regular margarita. For lunch we enjoyed the chicken enchiladas and chicken taquitos appetizer which was served with guacamole and sour cream. The enchiladas is served with rice and beans. The food is wonderful. We added a second margarita to complete the meal. We had no room for dessert. Great service, great ambiance, friendly staff, spotlessly clean facility. read more

I'm 74 yrs old and my wife is ... beautiful. We occasionally come to Reno (it's an hour's drive). I don't like Mexican normally, but this place is special in our hearts. We love Los Compadres! The food is way above average. And the service is unbelievable! And where did you find Marco? He is so UNBELIEVEABLE. He is so attentive and we always ask for his section. We are old and he lets us modify our orders to fit our diets. Thank you so much for being so nice to us. This is our go to place to eat in Reno. read more

We have door dashed this restaurant in the past, but decided to go in this time. It was a good experience. We were seated right away. The place was busy and continued to pick up while we were there. They had lots of indoor seating plus an outdoor patio area too. The bar area was nice with high tops and bar seating. Their chips and salsa were super tasty. They provide a mild and hot salsa (in black ramekin). The food was all very good and did not disappoint. We were also hungry so I forgot to take pics of our main dishes, but we will be back. We tried the chicharrones which were delicious...they were hit and still crackling when they came out. Our server was pretty busy so didn't pay much attention to our table and almost seemed bothered with us. By the end of our meal another staff grabbed our check because our server was chatting away with some friends in the bar area which is fine, but she kept doing that throughout our meal and didn't check much on us. All good because overall it was a nice experience. read more

It was a very classic Mexican version of an NYC red sauce joint. We were out and about and the fiance wanted some chilaquiles and saw the sign and demanded we stop. So we did. The hostess wasn't sure they had chilaquiles, but they did, thank goodness. The chilaquiles were light on sauce and the chips were a little bland. The margarita came out quick and was fine. The service here is speedy! So if you're starving like we were this will be a nice spot for you. read more

What could improve? Let's start with everything! The wait person must have had a fight with their partner. They were rude and inattentive and did not check back to see if anything was needed. The food was of poor quality, the lettuce was dried out, the rice was so dry that it made a crunching sound, the fajita steak was tough and full of grizzle, and the pork in the enchiladas was dry as well! You would imagine that at lunch time food would have been fresher. Ambiance was....... There have to be better Mexican restaurants in Reno! read more

Last night we were invited to watch the band outside and have dinner. I hadn't been to this location before, since we usually go to the one in Sparks. I personally believe the best Cadillac Margarita is here!!! My order got mixed up so the waiter was so kind and said how about I get you another Cadillac Margarita and of course I said " YES, Please". I really loved the Reno location and the people were fantastic. The only thing is I asked for separate check's several times, but that was not an option which is too bad since our life's are computer generated and it would have been a nice touch for extra customer service. Maybe something to think about in the future. read more

Ordered to go on a Saturday and was very busy when I went to pick up. It smelled really good so I had high hopes. When I dug into my food, I was SO disappointed. The rice wasn't Spanish rice, it was rice cooked in chicken broth. My taco salad was meat (I got ground beef) lettuce, cheese, guacamole, sour cream and beans. I thought I was gonna get rice in it, but I guess not. This "salad" needs some vegetables, really odd for this to be how they do a taco salad. My partner got the wet burrito with shredded beef and the beef was nicely seasoned, but other than that wasn't great. Lastly and worst of all, the chips tasted burnt. So did my taco shell on my salad. Took me a minute to realize this is due to the restaurant using dirty oil. Yuck. I have no idea why so many people like this place, I am honestly angry at the quality of food that I was given for $35. Never again. read more

My new favorite Reno Mexican food! I guess there was a reason for the Friday n8ght wait! Overall a 5 for what it is. I debated a four but decided I was so happy with my meal and service it would be a five. The entire staff was fantastic and moved really fast, but not pushy. The only recommended improvements would be fresh tortillas and better margaritas, but everything else was great. Fresh home made chips and guacamole. Great and huge steak, much better, less fatty and perfectly cooked, better than most Mexican places. The carnitas were awsome ! Portions were huge. Atmosphere was family friendly. I'll be back! read more

I'm a fan of Los compadres! Not only is their food/drink good, their service is great and they are not far from my house! The queso fundido with chorizo is a must. A little bit of it goes a long way and it's packed with flavor. The jalapeños can be pretty spicy but also add so much flavor. I got the street taco trio and did a carne asada, carnitas and al pastor. All of them were really delicious and flavorful. My favorite was probably the Al pastor. I ordered an extra spicy margarita and omg it was SO good! They added a perfect amount of spice in it and didnt shy away with the tequila either. This is my new go to for Mexican food close to home. read more

Excellent food and service! Be sure to save room for the sopapillas! We will be back!

I've been to both locations of Los compadres and they both haven't been a disappointment! Great margaritas, for three people it was recommended to get a pitcher for $4 more then singles and it was the perfect amount about 1 1/2 each. Lunch specials are during the week only but we ordered off the ala carte menu and were all able to get what we wanted. They included two salsas with the complimentary chips, one a little spicy, they were blended not chunky. I thought a little too salty but with margaritas to wash down that didn't stop me from eating it lol! The Tacos were filling and very good, I didn't miss beans and rice at all. The green salsa with the meal was very tasty and the right amount of spice! Our waiter was friendly and took our picture, we had a great time here and also enjoyed the music playing! read more
