This place is solid! We are newer to the area and so glad to have discovered Los Dos Compadres. Food is always fresh and served hot. We often do the fajitas (we split it) and they're lovely. Chips and salsa is one of my favorite in the area... price is on-point and very fair for the large portions. The staff is friendly and responsive. They are usually quick to take your order and the food comes fast. LDCC is a great local option that we highly recommend. If you haven't tried it, do so! They're worth the pop-in. read more

This is a favorite stop, especially for lunches. Honestly, it's never a bad day to go here. The staff are incredibly friendly. It has a warm home atmosphere with lots of great colors and comfortable booths. The food is always in large amounts lots of leftovers and they have a fun way of serving champagne on Sundays if you ask, a great atmosphere it's always a good day to stop and eat here. The salsa has a wonderful warm texture and the chips are always fresh. We've tried several of the dishes nothing disappointed check it out for yourself. It's a great place to go. read more

Driven by it a zillion times, finally decided to give it a try. Got chili Verde plate and it was good. The margaritas were good but pricey. My wife got the fish tacos and liked them. The food pricing is on the higher side but not outrageous. What really makes this place is the friendly service and cheerful decor. read more

Los Dos Compadres Cantina - Washougal: Mediocre Mexican With a Side of Hype Slightly better than my first (and last) visit shortly after moving to Washougal in 2017, but that's not saying much. I came for lunch and sat at the bar--because the dining room was inexplicably packed. After this visit, I'm still scratching my head as to why. Let's start with the drinks: $9 for a Happy Hour margarita? Really? It was weak, flavorless, and honestly one of the worst I've ever had. If there was tequila in there, it must have taken a wrong turn. The complimentary chips and salsa were decent, and the $5 side of guacamole wasn't bad, but the portion was laughably small for the price. More like a garnish than a side. I went with the Taco and (2) Enchilada Combo ($15). Price was fair, but the execution? Not so much. The taco came in a prefab shell thinner than a paper napkin--completely incapable of holding its shredded beef filling. I had to inhale it before it disintegrated. The cheese and onion enchiladas were average at best, drowning in a watery sauce that clearly missed its thickening agent. What baffles me most are the glowing 5-star reviews. Some folks are calling this the "best Mexican food" they've ever had. Really? If this is the best you've had, I don't want to imagine the worst. Is Taco Bell must be Michelin-starred in their book?

Well over an hour wait for 3 to go orders. Corn tortillas sat in so much moisture in Togo container that they turned to mush. Food was stone cold. Who knows how long it had been sitting. I've been there MANY times before, but I will have to decide wether I will go back after this. read more

I have been eating here for many years and since they sold out to a corp. the quality has gone downhill. I ate there this weekend and ordered the three enchiladas. The corn tortillas were stale, the ground beef tasted old and that was the only flavor the beef offered; no garlic, no onions, no salt, no pepper, just old stale dried out beef. The sauce was an odd flavor and the consistency was slimy. The beans were watered down. The only thing good on that plate was the rice. The prices are ridiculous for what you get, especially due to the poor quality. I hope they do better and go back to cooking fresh food. I doubt they will. I won't be back. read more

Service was very good, food had lots of flavor, good Margaritas. We had six in our party and had plenty of attention. Nice atmosphere, reminded me of the restaurants in Cabo. read more

Came here for lunch and was seated immediately. Host sat us down and brought waters, 2 types of salsa (she said 1 was hot, but I didn't think so, it was more flavorful than the other. But no heat) and chips. The menu has a lot of options. Portion size was big and filling. Food was plated beautifully. It was a quiet place with light music playing. Food comes with either corn or flour tortillas. Meat was very tender and flavorful. read more

Food is okay. Portions are small. Pick up orders take a while to have them ready. I would drive elsewhere for better food.

Ordered the compadres dinner for takeout. Got no chicken or carne asada as advertised, only received subpar shrimp and onions / mushrooms. Will not be coming back. read more

Los Dos Compadres Cantina - No steak or chicken with compadres dinner. Rip off. - Mexican Near Me - Washougal, Washington

We nearly passed up Dos Compadres because they have outdoor remodeling in progress, and we thought they were closed. They are open! And inside the restaurant is nicely decorated with good dining ambiance -- clean and not too noisy. We were quickly seated and given tortilla chips and 2 salsas, a mild and a medium. We ordered margaritas that were large, delicious, and generous with ingredients! I had 2 chicken enchiladas that came with rice and beans. My partner had a fajita quesadilla with guac and sour cream. We also got a small side of guacamole. All the food was fresh and delicious. Various wait staff stopped by the table to see if we needed anything. And we very much enjoyed the whole experience, as we were celebrating Cinco de Mayo over the weekend. We highly recommend La Cantina Dos Compadres and we will be back. read more

What a place where authentic delicious just how I grew up eating type Mexican food. Just got some quick tacos to go eat them on a plate got on with our day, but absolutely amazing. It's everything. I remember everything I miss and love about my time in the borderlands Mexico, a lot of the places we eat at didn't have menus didn't have a lot of options and what they did do they did absolutely right and delicious and that's exactly what they have here. Look at the photo it's before it sells. Absolutely amazing you know what it is come and get it. read more

Los Dos Compadres Cantina - Mexican Near Me - Washougal, Washington

Food/Drinks: 4/5 Good street tacos, they were not actively cutting and serving at the time so its possible that we did not get the freshest batch available. They did have an incredible hibiscus drink. Great food, good selection of toppings, and definitely delicious for the area. They had a plentiful variety of options too. Service/Atmosphere/Prices: 5/5 Great service, everyone had a good attitude, and it was a good team of people working together. Effective delivery method for their stall. Reasonable prices and good value. Overall Comments: 4/5 Of note, we had their food cart/truck variant at the Portland Night Market. Above expectations but did not exceed them. Will refer friends and will return for a quick bite. read more

The service and the food are top shelf. The arroz con camarón was plenty for a lunch appetite. Looking forward to my next visit already.

What can I say? I love this place! I've been coming here for years. I have never been disappointed. The ambience is pure Mexico bright and cheerful. The service is always top-notch. Water chips and salsa come to your table pretty much immediately. They give you a spicy salsa and a mild. Today I had the Carne Asada plate. This is my go to often. I just love the tender grilled meat and all the yummy fixings. Their rice and beans are just right. You get guacamole and a couple of charred scallions as well as a jalapeño. There's a piece of fresh tomato and shaved iceberg. My favorite to eat on the delicious tacos that you make with the hot tortillas . Not kidding heavenly. Today I was with my son. He enjoyed the beef enchiladas. Tender shredded beef with plenty of cheese. His came with sour cream, which she shared. Did I mention that they make some killer cocktails? There is a bar area if you want some thing for adults only. The full menu is served there as well. Plus some happy hour specials. Go on over, you know you want Gracias read more

Ordered the trio fajitas to share with my husband. They were so good!! I appreciate that they cut the steak and chicken into thin slices. Sounds weird, but I hate when you order fajitas and get giant chunks of meat. The flavor was amazing and the portion was enough to feed the two of us and our 10 year old. Beyond the amazing food, I have to give the staff five stars! They were very busy with it being a Saturday night and the National Motocross event going on, but service was top notch and food came out quickly and hot! The wait staff was attentive and friendly and the young men (bus boys maybe?) who assisted the waitresses were so extremely kind, helpful, and just all around pleasant. There was a table full of rowdy early twenty something young people who were quite rude and loud, but these young men working made it bearable by how sweet and helpful they were to guests and the waitresses. From a local, thank you and we will definitely be back soon!!! read more

Food was excellent authentic Mexican food. Michelada was huge and tasty. Service was just okay. The lady bartender seemed a little upset or having a bad day, but she was still accommodating when asked for items. Some of the bar customers were creepy. read more

That hostess and our server were both friendly and attentive. The restaurant is undergoing an update for outside seating. We had eaten there a few years ago and were not impressed and hoped it would be better. It was ok but not much better. My meal was chicken fajitas and it was generous and had all the fixings - just very little seasoning. My wife had chicken tacos and again, all the right fixings but very little seasoning. It was disappointing. It will likely be a while before we would go again. read more

Food is always good every time with great service and prices. The restaurant is nice and they serve delicious margs

service was mediocre at best. we went in with a large group (12) and instead of pushing some tables together they made us all sit separately. The lady staff were very friendly, and took our drink orders right away. then nobody came back to our table for over ten minutes. Another lady came and took our food orders, and then the food came out before our drinks. When receiving our food, the guy that brought it out was trying to pass the plates to everyone so fast that he spilled food down the front of my dress and didn't even apologize or even offer extra napkins to clean it up... The food was sub par for the price, $17 for a small taco salad and I had to ask 3 times for some salsa to put on it (I ordered salsa with it when they took my food order). The drinks were tasty but very small and VERY expensive ($27 for two drinks). I love Mexican food, and I love chips and salsa. The salsa here is plain, no flavor, and not spicy at all (I like spicy salsa). They do not offer complimentary beans with the chips and salsa (most other places do). Just overall, a bad experience. Long wait for just a drink, rude men serving food, worst chips and salsa for a Mexican restaurant by far, food sub par at best, and it seems like they are more concerned with how fast they can get you in and out rather than any real customer service. Very disappointed. I expected more based on the reviews I read. Will not go again. read more

Great food, lots of seating. Good for larger groups and families. Room for dining and separate area for dining and sports bar. Good is very consistent and tasty. Really enjoy the Chile relleno, chile verde, cheese enchiladas! Good chips and two great salsas. read more

Everyone enjoyed their meals!! My husband and I ordered the steak fajitas. They were so nicely grilled with the onions and peppers! My son and his girlfriend ordered the three combo fajitas that included steak, chicken and shrimp! Besides the sizzling pan we had Pico de Gallo, guacamole, rice and beans. The restaurant was nicely decorated with colorful God's eyes. The server was attentive and made sure we had plenty of chips and two different types of salsa. Great food,service and ambiance. We highly recommend it! read more

This is a nice little Mexican restaurant, just off SR14 so very handy if you are just passing through. Predictable Mexican fare. Nothing especially noteworthy but no complaints at all. They have a family area and a bar/seating area if you want to get away from the kiddos. Very reasonable prices, decent portions, attentive service. Decent sized parking lot although I can see having to park on the side street(s) if the place is crowded. If you're looking for the world's best Mexican, this isn't it. But if you want a tasty, filling, reasonably priced meal, you'll be happy here. read more

3 Stars for the chips and salsa. 1 star for the incredibly bland enchilada sauces Asked for Christmas style and had to tell the waiter red and green sauces. The wife enjoyed her 6 shrimp fajitas for $23 though... read more

They are very friendly and the food is ready very fast. Their strawberry margaritas are so good

Fantastic price points great quality fresh food absolutely taste. Service was great. Wide selection.

Never disappointed. The staff is so friendly, fast, & attentive. The wait to be seated if it's at peak busy times is still usually less than 5 minutes. They never "forget" about you or give you an annoyed feeling if you ask for extra napkins or more chips, etc. The food is delicious & portion sizes are definitely fair! I've only ever ordered the Pollo Asado because I love it & it's filling, healthy(-ish), & yummy! The atmosphere is lively & staff are running around getting orders to tables. It's clean & has a little bit of that old-school-authentic-Mexican-food-mom 'n pop restaurant charm that is found fewer & farther between nowadays. Love that we have this little gem in Washougal! read more

Amazing service we loved the food I got a cheese enchiladas and it was amazing and had fun with family read more

Food was decent and they serve pretty big portions. The young lady that took my order to go seemed nice. I was excited that they offered margaritas to go and ordered a patron rita which was about $20 and they serve it in a sealed bottle to go. BUT when I got home and we started digging in I immediately noticed that there was no way that margarita was made with Patron! I know my tequilas and I could tell right away it was def not Patron and was either Cuervo or some cheaper well brand. I called back to let them know and talked to my server who said she made it and she claimed it was. This tequila had serious bite and was not smooth at all, it had that bad aftertaste and it was apparent even with margarita mix. I had some bad run ins with cheap tequila when I was in college and anybody that has will never forget the taste of the cheaper stuff! Nothing was done about it either. So shady and totally disappointed. Ruined the meal and the night. Food wasn't anything special and not good enough to overcome that and def won't be going back now. read more

We're from a smalltown, so it's hard to technically judge other Mexican restaurants because the one we are used to is really hard to beat... but I will say that the jungle drinking alcoholic bowl drink is fantastic and 1 of the best I've had, and they have the best dessert so far. the pico DE gallo is a home recipe which is also the best I've ever had. read more

We had the pleasure of eating here for lunch while in Washougal and it was the BEST Mexican food I've had in a very long time. I always get shredder chicken in my chimichangas, enchiladas etc, and this was the most flavorful and moist chicken I've ever had. The refried beans were excellent, the rice was flavorful as well. We will definitely go back when we are in town!! What a hidden gem this is! The staff was so friendly and the fresh/warm chips were amazing too!! read more

The food is the best! Had the arroz con Camerones and the meal was scrumptious! The ambience is awesome as the wait staff were all happy to work here and were so gracious. You could tell other diners were having an enjoyable experience read more

I had a picnic at my house for 60 people. I worked with with Gerardo to come up with a menu for that many people. He was fabulous. I can't tell you how fabulous the food was. All my guest raved about it. He made the experience easy. I would recommend Los Dos Compadres for any large event. We do eat there often and the food and staff are wonderful. I would give them a 10 if I could. read more
