My first and last time coming to this restaurant…read more I decided to try Los compadres since the usual spot I go to is closed on Monday. I ordered a bunch of food, pollo con crema, shrimp dip which was really good, kids ACP and a regular ACP. ACP is just chicken and rice. I was chewing on a piece of chicken and notice that it was really squishy and tasted weird. Then I notice it was raw inside and lost my appetite. I called the store and they did not believe me at all saying that they watch the cook make it. The store was closing so I did not want to make the drive and just take my loss. I understand stuff happens but at least an apology about the inconvenience instead of making it seem like I was lying.

Came in with a group of friends when we were in town for a work trip and this place did NOT…read moredisappoint!! The restaurant is very intimate and we were offered a very private feeling booth. It was really nice for our group. We were given chips and salsa right away and then proceeded to browse our menus. This menu had a LOT of options. I ended up ordering the enchiladas with green sauce and was pleasantly surprised by the giant portion. Our server was efficient and friendly and I would definitely come back here again!

I guess I'll start from the beginning. Pros, we were seated quickly. The grilled tiger shrimp was…read moreamazing. Our queso was brought out almost immediately. Now to the cons which are unfortunately many more. As nice as our waitress was, she was either not listening or not attentive. I got a berry margarita which came with sugar (I was not aware) so I asked for it to be poured into another glass with salt. When she came back all she had done was put it in another glass with more sugar. My husband ended up having to go with a sweet tea and when he had to flag someone down to get a refill (who never came back) the waitress asked if he needed another. I explained that he had already asked someone for another sweet tea and I wasn't sure if he was getting it or not she went to get it. She then came back and asked was that sweet tea or unsweetened. We said again sweet. She came back and it was unsweetened. Then came my dinner. It came with onion and tomatos with the shrimp. The mushroom was good, but I have never before seen tomatoes and onions with the core. (See attached photos) It was truly an awful experience that we had to pay almost 60.00 for. Ambient TVs were on showing soccer.

We came in after 12pm and it was pretty much dead, only a few people were seated around us. The…read morewaiter was kind and checked on us pretty often. We ordered an appetizer then ordered our main meals, for some reason all of the food came out at once and it was a little overwhelming especially when you're supposed to receive your appetizer first. I got the crispy fries with meat and guacamole, they absolutely drenched the fries in guacamole and it didn't taste fresh at all. There was just too much of everything on it. The appetizer was huge and if I would have known that I personally wouldn't have ordered it especially if I knew it was going to be served all at once. I got the chorizo quesadilla and there wasn't any cheese in it for some reason, I couldn't even pick it up without it falling apart, had to pick at it with a fork, on top of that it wasn't hot at all. Only the plate was hot which didn't make any sense, the chipotle sauce they added on top tasted absolutely like nothing unfortunately. The "ambiance" of the place felt off since it was almost completely empty and we had several different people come up to us and ask if the food was okay. Which is normal but it just got irritating since it seemed like everybody who worked there just kept on asking us. Check was about $60 including tip, to me personally it wasn't worth it. But overall it made great dogfood.

Would've have love another mix drink or water refill but waiter was too busy for 30 minutes standing at a table with a group of ladies to take care of his other tables. Will come back again but will not have this waiter ever again.

We purchased the fajitas (myself, shrimp fajitas; my wife, vegetarian fajitas). The shrimp fajitas were loaded with shrimp, and the vegetarian fajitas has every kind of vegetable on it, from squash to brocolli to onions, tomatos, peppers, etc. It was quite the melody. Flavor was great, especially considering their homemade spice sauce. Their menu is large and has something for everyone. I would definitely recommend, and definitely come again. 5/5.

Also, the waiter did not get us chips and I was not offered a refill until someone in management came over to see how the meal was. I used to have a good experience. If the tables were full I could understand it but not even a 1/3 full. When I said something to the one I paid the bill to he got derogatory toward me with a snarky "I'm sorry" and there is nothing wrong with that. It will be a while before I will eat there, if ever.

The servers were nice and did well managing the big group I was with. They brought plenty of chips and salsa for everyone. The food came out relatively quickly which was nice.
