Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Los Compadres offers delicious typical Mexican cuisine in a casual, family atmosphere. It's a great place for both large and small groups, families, or even a business lunch. I have been there for both breakfast and most recently for a late dinner and enjoyed it both times.
The décor is old school Mexican colonial. They have both a downstairs and an upstairs dining room. Both times I went I wound up upstairs which was not air conditioned, but still pleasant. Bathrooms were clean.
The food is traditional Mexican. If you order coffee it will be "café de olla" which has cinnamon, pre-sweetened with piloncillo (raw sugar), and is prepared in a clay pot. So there is a distinct hint of clay pot in the flavor. Of course, they have soft drinks, and a couple of "aguas frescas" which are always refreshing.
For dinner we had the parrillada which had grilled beef, onions, cheese, and a cheese stuffed bell pepper. It came with beans, tortillas (flour or corn) and chips and salsa. I tried all the salsas. One was habanero and will wake you up both when you eat it ...and remind you how spicy it was the next day! They have all kinds of "antojitos mexicanos," I recommend the gorditas with your choice of filling.
Be prepared to put your conversation on hold for a few minutes and hear the "mañanitas" in full mariachi sound if anyone is celebrating a birthday.
I enjoyed both my visits to Los Compadres and think you will too! read more
