Was staying at the hotel next door during a business trip. Every time I looked out the window from my room, I saw this Mexican food truck. It was always busy and packed! So, on day three, I decided to see what all the fuss was about. It literally took me 3 minutes to get there. As I approached the ordering window, I noticed a "People Love Us on Yelp" certificate, which definitely sparked my curiosity. I was greeted by a super polite and friendly gentleman. I told him it was my first time there, and he explained the truck's best-selling items. Everyone working there was incredibly friendly, and I even got to use my native language, Spanish. This is a food truck with a shaded area for waiting / enjoying your meal,which adds to the experience. It's a bit loud due to the proximity to water avenue. Totally expected and not a deal breaker. I ordered five tacos: two steak, one al pastor, one shrimp, and one campechano. I also ordered tortilla chips, which came with a bean and cheese dip. When I got back to my room and opened the container... wow. It looked glorious. Everything was absolutely delicious -- from the warm tortillas to the juicy steak, flavorful al pastor, savory campechano, and especially the shrimp tacos, which were the icing on the cake. The chips were perfectly seasoned, and that bean and cheese dip? Amazing. I was seriously impressed with this dinner. Simple, humble, fresh, and delicious. These guys clearly know what they're doing. I'll definitely be back in two weeks! read more

Los Comparres - 3 chicken and 3 chicken/beef mix American style soft flour shells. - Food Trucks Near Me - Tampa, Florida

If you're on the hunt for the BEST tacos in Tampa Bay, stop scrolling and go straight to Los Compadres. I'm super picky about tacos, and after 2 years of trying spot after spot, THIS is the holy grail. The flavor? Unreal. The tortillas? Perfectly soft but still have that slight chew. The meat? Seasoned like they whispered secrets to it before cooking. Every bite tastes like it was made with love (and possibly magic). Bring your taste buds, because they're about to dance. This isn't just food - it's a spiritual experience in taco form. Trust me, your new favorite taco truck is right here Pro tip: Go hungry, because you're going to want to order everything! read more

I don't ever leave reviews but this place truly deserves it. The service was above and beyond, they made sure everything was good, gave us all different kinds of sauces to try and my friend has an allergy and they made sure everything came out perfect. The food was DELICIOUS and the prices are very good. I will definitely be returning! If your in the area i would definitely stop and try it out read more

We have been coming here for years!! Food truck owner and his family are so kind and extremely welcoming. You cannot beat their taco prices on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, back in the day they were only $1 but as the economy changes so must everything else, the tacos are now currently $2.20 which is still a heck of a deal!! The quality has always been extremely consistent! And the natural juices have always been a staple for me. While there are many good taco trucks, this will always be my go to! read more

Local Mexican food truck with a pleasant outdoor seating area. After hearing great reviews and being in the area, I stopped by for dinner shortly before they closed. The ordering experience and service was great! They have a large menu and offer Birria Tacos only on Fridays and Saturdays. Overall, the taco meat lacked flavor and was dry. Not sure if this was because it was later in the day and freshness wasn't there. The burrito was also quite small. Food: Ordered 2 chicken, 2 Al pastor, and 1 steak Mexican taco and a steak burrito. The chicken tacos were pretty dry and I didn't love the flavor of the carne asada. The Al pastor was definitely a favorite and the juiciest. The cilantro and onion topping also just wasn't the most fragrant or flavorful. My boyfriend was disappointed with the size, lack of flavor and overall burrito. It all just didn't really hit the spot. I did enjoy the salsa verde and avocado sauce. The tortillas were good too and I enjoyed how the tacos were double wrapped. Drink: I ordered the Horchata agua fresca and when it was first served it was a bit room temp, but once it chilled more from the ice I enjoyed the flavor more. Overall I think there are better and more flavorful street tacos in Tampa. read more

It's been at least a year and decided to Ubereats some tacos and quesadillas. I was concerned the quality would be lacking, since the last time I had comparres. The food was better than the last I remember with minimal fat pieces on the beef. Love their quesadillas and actually think they're one of the cheesiest/best flavor ones compared to other places in all of Tampa. read more

One sure fire way to catch my attention is for a place to always be busy when I drive by. This Mexican food truck always seems to have a crowd at lunch time so when the wifey and I were deciding on our next meal Los Comparres came to mind. A quick drive from the house put us on site just as they opened at 11am. Our order was large since we planned for two meals each. The wife chose a taco trio for lunch. Chicken, Al Pastor and Shrimp with all the fixins' they include. She liked all 3 equally, her highlight was the fresh cilantro on each. For dinner she chose the Chicken Quesadilla which was also to her liking. I ordered her the XL size and it was massive, enough for 3 meals. For myself, I ordered 2 Burritos, Al Pastor and the Campechano and a large cup of Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche. Al Pastor is their marinated pork and that was my favorite. I got it with everything and it was loaded! I like a burrito that includes guac and sour cream with everything else. It was a tad smaller than what I expect but filled me nonetheless. I did have to pick tiny chunks of bone from my mouth however. The Campechano was a 3 meat blend and again I got all the fixin's. I did not like this one as much as the first not something I will reorder. I am looking forward to trying a couple others. My ceviche, which is available in 4 sizes, was tomato based and while it had a many of the traditional flavors it was not to my liking, the prevelant flavor to me was ketchup. The octopus was non-existant but the shrimp were very plump and juicy. It was the overbearing ketchup flavor that spoiled it for me. I tried their red and green hot sauces, they were not to hot, very manageable. My favorite was the red that was chipotle based. All in all a positive experience. I will be returning to try other things, I see this place becoming a monthly trend for me. Cost is reasonable and it's a quick easy option. The folks were friendly, the food was good and the service was fast. read more

Great food, at great price! We have been coming here for years and will continue to support.

La comida súper riquísima y fresca. El servicio aún mejor. El ambiente increíble. Totalmente recomendado.

I have never tried Los Comparres, since I usually hit a nearby competitor. Decided to make up for that tonight. Easy to find, plenty parking. Very friendly and helpful staff.... and communication is not an issue as they speak both Spanish and English. Ordered three Birria tacos with consomme and one Chorizo taco... and a Tamarindo Jarrito. Order was ready quickly, and I head home. Chorizo taco - I saw a previous review from Boon, that said some of the tacos he had were dry... and I agree, this chorizo was dry, flavor was ok, not great. Probably would not order again. I am used to chorizo that is greasy and full of flavor. Birria tacos - these were pretty good... not as flavorful as some others I had, and were definitely not "wet". Probably easier on the tortillas that way for to-go orders, expecially since you have consomme for dipping when you get home. Consomme was ok... not heavily spiced, but good to dip into. Salsas were good... and they give me three, Avocado, red and green. Jarritos are always good... love them. I am going to say three stars for the food... and an extra star for the service. read more

I was bummed when my beloved Los Comparres food truck on Armenia Ave. closed. But I was glad to hear that the Los Comparres II food truck was actually a convenient stop on my way home from work. I finally made it there and I have mixed reviews. The birria tacos were $3 each, and I thought they were very tasty, and the consume they were served with had good flavor. This location did not offer the vuelve a la vida ceviche, which was my all time favorite at the original food truck, so I went with their regular ceviche instead, described as shrimp and fish with cilantro, onion, tomato, and avocado. While the fish was fresh, it was definitely a disappointment compared to the ceviche I loved, as it did not have much flavor, and seemed very watery. I would definitely go back for the birria tacos, and I'd like to see how their shrimp burrito compares to the original truck's burritos. If you go, slow down when you get near the truck - it's easy to miss the entrance of the open gate. Also - the same in is out, so watch for leaving vehicles. Plenty of parking is available in the lot next to the food truck, and there are 3 picnic tables out front to eat at. read more

Many years ago I discovered the original location to this gem off Armenia and was hooked. I have since moved so was very happy to see this location open closer to my parents house for when I am in Tampa. Same great owners, food, etc. They do have items that aren't listed on the menu so if you know the other location/menu be sure to ask. Like their delicious ceviche. They do Taco Tuesday AND Wednesday!!! $1.25 per taco! Yes please! They are only open those days until they run out of food, which happens often. read more

I pulled up for an easy dinner after a long work day, and it's been on my list to try for some time. Lucky for me, it was Taco Wednesday (also on Tuesdays) and tacos were $1.25 each! I'm not sure if that's all tacos or certain ones. But either way, I spent only $6 and some change for 4 tacos al pastor with salsa verde. That is quite the deal for today's standards, and it was very good too. I'm not sure I can say they're the *best*, but they're definitely not mediocre either. Definitely check this place out for an easy meal that tastes great but is also easy on your budget. read more

This food truck self-proclaims to make the best taco in Tampa. We went on a Tuesday to take advantage of the $1.10 "Taco Tuesday" deal (also offered on Wednesdays) & were satisfied with the authenticity. Tacos are rather small (maybe because of discount??), so expect to eat several (the 2 of us ate 13). Pastor and chorizo were my favorites and for an extra .10 bulk up your taco with the gringo fixins: lettuce, cheese and sour cream. Menu small but offers tamales, sopes, flautas & other Mexican musts. read more

Los Comparres - Well if they weren't so good I'd had a picture. But I ate them... birria... - Food Trucks Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I told myself for 2023 I will do a better job of posting pictures with my review and that did not happen because the tacos were so good. This place is a food truck and a group of 5 of us went. This is as authentic as it gets when it comes to street tacos. I got 3 of the Asadas, it comes with onion and cilantro. They gave us two different hot sauces and the one that is a yellow color is very flavorful but very spicy. They have a few benches to sit on outside, the service was excellent, everyone was very friendly. As I am writing this review, I may go back again today for more. read more

This good truck is about 3.5 stars. We were here after dinner and decided to try their food truck. Their taco has 4 selection- ground beef, chicken, pastor, and chorizo. The regular taco is $2.50. Is kind of above the average price. I got the chorizo and the pastor. I feel their meat is chop to fine. It feel like very powdery. However, I do like their toppings. They will ask you want a Mexican way or US way. I got the Mexican way. It top with cheese and sour cream. Tuesday, they have taco Tuesday for a dollar a piece. By then, it may be worth the price. Others than taco, they have quesadillas and burritos. May be that is better. read more

I've been going to this place ever since I saw them first on Hillsborough near the Skating Rink. The Food is always fresh and tasty. And I am always greeted with a friendly smile by the Owners.

I suggest going on taco Tuesday and taking advantage of the $1.29 taco special. The food is delicious and made fresh. You can get great quality food for less than a burger McDonald's. I suggest the El pastor tacos made the Mexican way with a little salsa Verde and a squirt of lime juice. You will not be disappointed by the quality or the price. The location isn't the easiest to find or access. Don't pass it or you have to do multiple u-turns. Their house made salsas are spectacular. I'd suggest asking for a few extra for good measure. read more
