    Spicy cucumber margarita
    Sofia B.

    Highly recommend! Service was great. Jerry the bartender was our server. He was attentive and respectful. We ordered spicy cucumber margaritas. Sooo delicious. Definitely would order again. I got the pollo a la crema with corn tortillas. There was the perfect amount of crema sauce. Garlicky and yummy. Tortillas were fresh. My friend got the chicken enchiladas and also very good. Chicken was flavorful and wasn't dry at all. Music was authentic and not overly loud. The place was clean and looks taken care of. I wish I got a photo of the food but we were too excited to eat

    Drinks! Chellys favorite, Margarita flight Board, and Strawberry coconut margarita.

    Food, service, and ambience were great. The server checked in made sure we got everything we wanted. The food is flavorful and served quick! The beverages are mixed very well. Some of the most balanced drinks I've had.

    Love stopping in for a drink and salsa. I've had the food and it's pretty good too. One bartender is a little light with the alcohol so when we see him I'm not ordering a cocktail I'm getting a michelada with negra modelo. Staff are alright bathrooms clean, tvs to watch the game and it's close by so we like going there.

    Dropped in for a bite and left feeling like family. The vibes were relaxed, the service was spot on, and the food? Let's just say my taste buds are still dancing. I had a Pacifico with a lime-salted rim, simple, perfect, refreshing. Not everyone gets the rim right, but they nailed it. Danae had the enchiladas and gave them the quiet nod of approval that only comes when it's really good. Now let's talk shrimp...thankfully not prawns, but actual large shrimp, cooked just right. So many places mess this up. Not here. These were tender, flavorful, and downright delicious. You can taste the love in the kitchen. Everything from the chips to the check felt like home with a twist of fiesta. If you' are looking for a spot that serves soul food with a Mexican heartbeat, Dos Compadres is it. Bravo. We'll be back.

    Came to eat at a decent time, sat me down and took them 10 minutes to assist me. Then requested to talk to manager and told him how they helped 3 families before they helped me and acted like he didn't care. No communication between workers. Bad service. Chips were also stale and they couldn't even offer me a cup of water.

    The Best I Ever Had!

    The chimichanga that I had at Taqueria Dos Compadres is the best that I have ever had! It was well cooked and delicious. It comes with your choice of meat, rice, beans, lettuce and guacamole. The taste is rich and flavorful. I had flan for dessert. Again it was the best that I have ever had. The flan is thick enough to stand up and thin enough to put a fork through. It is fluffy and delicious. The caramel is just perfect. It is flavorful and just the right consistency. The wait staff are attentive and friendly. The ambiance is colorful and welcoming. My only regret is that I can't take a picture of the food. I ate it too quickly!

    This is my second time coming here and the first after recently moving. I really enjoyed the amazing service. Plenty of parking in the back and a great ambiance with music and sports on tv in the background. We ordered the shrimp as an appetizer and I really enjoyed it. I also loved the molcajete and the chips and salsa. I'll definitely be coming back again.

    Camarones/Shrimp with a creamy mushroom sauce. Rice/beans/flour tortillas. Hardly any beans, very sad. :(

    I have never been to Dos Compadres before. We were in the area (McHenry Avenue in Modesto) with a friend, and I hardly ever have Mexican food! I love Mexican food. However, when we dine out, we usually end up somewhere else. It was clean and visually appealing inside. Lots of colorful displays of papel picado, "punched" or "perforated" paper. The flowers are pretty, and the booth we sat in was roomy and comfortable. The waitress was sweet and on top of it! She was friendly and helped us navigate the menu, since it was our first time at this restaurant. I was appreciative for her suggestions. She also brought everything in a timely manner, even when they started to get a little busy. My food was delicious. I asked for my camarones/shrimp with creamy mushroom sauce to not have any cilantro or wine. They were accommodating. It came with rice and beans, a little salad (lettuce and tomato) and choice of flour or corn tortillas. I was a bit sad that the refried beans were not plentiful. There was much more rice than beans (I posted a photo). The bowl hides the fact that there were hardly any beans to speak of. My plate was about $20.00. My friend ordered the Taco Tuesday special. Just $2.00 each. They come standard with choice of meat: beef, chicken, carnitas, or pastor, onions, cilantro, salsa, and lemon wedges. I ordered some tacos to go for my son, he only wanted the meat and easy cilantro. He said he wished it had a little cheese on it, but they tasted good. Overall, a good experience. I would definitely eat here again. I would just hope the lack of beans was a fluke.

    Veggie burrito
    Kathy S.

    I prefer this vs chipotle. Got the veggie burrito and it was perfect (see photo). Service was friendly. Sat outside with my dog.

    There are so many choices for Mexican food in Modesto. We use to come here a lot but it had been a while so we came on a Friday afternoon. I had a combo with chile relleno and cheese enchilada with red sauce. Wife had a veggie burrito with red and green sauce. That red sauce was so good!!! Great service and we really enjoyed our entire meal. The second basket of chips.......yes we had two baskets... don't judge! That second basket was freshly made and still warm and just tasty crunchy fresh chips and the house sauce was better than I remember. We will start coming back here and have that red sauce again....

    Enchiladas, Asada con red sauce and one pork Tamal
    Thomas Q.

    Been here twice and both times have been a pleasant visit. Place was clean and I was seated fairly quickly. Ordered my food and with ten minutes or less it was in front of me. Flavor of the food was good and the Asada had just enough char to wear you can tell it was actually cooked on the grill rather than boiled. Wish the rice portion was bigger and could definitely go without the lettuce. The pork tamale was moist and flavorful. The edges were a bit over cooked which caused the perimeter of the tamale to be a bit dry but overall it was still delicious. Staff was nice and did not have to wait long for a beverage refill.

    This is the 209 best Mexican spot! Seriously we had the bontana de camarones and the plate of carne…read moreasada and tacos de birra. Everything was on point the meat was perfect not too chewy ,it wasn't too hard to chew. Let me tell you the shrimp was the best I ever had. The service was quick and very accommodating. Beyond friendly. Will be back again !

    First off, we found out about this restaurant through social media. We knew eventually we'd want to…read moretry it. Luckily, we were by the mall and made the VERY short 10-ish minute drive. Worth it! Walked into a very quiet, but colorful restaurant with only one other patron inside. The employees were so nice. We were told to pick anywhere, we were brought menus and instantly asked if we'd like anything to drink or if we wanted to look at the menu first... We asked for suggestions and the waitress offered the types of drinks they have. She brought us chips and salsa. The chips were homemade with a perfect crunch. The salsa was fresh, chunky and not spicy. The pepino cone limo aqua Fresca was the best aqua Fresca I've EVER had. Not too sweet at all and was SO REFRESHING. We also ordered an horchata and I was told that was just as good. The food... Where to start. We ordered an empanada and some quedabirria tacos. The empanada was HUGE, deliciously filling with fresh ingredients. It had great flavor. The quesabirria tacos were probably the best we've had. You order the amount you want. They are 5.99 each and oh so delicious. The meat tasted SO FRESH and flavorful. The creamy jalapeño salsa had a NICE kick to it. All meals come with radish and pickled onions as garnish, but eating them with the meal made it even more refreshing and delicious. They need more than one location, but until then we will be back! (Luckily, I heard they do catering.)

    I come here pretty often, and it's always a solid choice for Mexican food in town. The food is…read moreconsistently good, the drinks are solid, and they easily have the best chips and salsa around. Service is always friendly and reliable, which keeps me coming back. My only real recommendation is to avoid sitting in the bar area if you're in a hurry. Service there tends to move a lot slower, so it can take a while to get your order in and get your food. The restaurant itself is a little run down, and the bathrooms could definitely use some attention, but the bar and outside area is decorated nicely and has a good atmosphere overall. All in all, it's a great local spot and one I keep going back to.

    Unfortunately, this was a really disheartening experience…read more We waited over an hour for our food, and when it finally came out there was an issue with the size of the menudo bowl that had been offered to us. Instead of trying to resolve the situation or make it right, the manager, Noah, became argumentative and tried to debate what had been said rather than listen to the customer. After waiting that long, the last thing anyone expects is to feel like they have to argue just to be heard. What made it more disappointing was the lack of willingness to fix the issue or offer a solution. We came in hoping for a good meal and left feeling frustrated and unheard. It's sad because good service could have easily turned this into a positive experience. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case here. At the end of it he realized and came back and finally apologized.
