While visiting family in Weslaco I was determined to try as many Taquerias or Mexican spots as I could and this one El Compallito was right around the corner from me for munch so I gave it a whirl. Non descript restaraunt in a semi strip mall, wasn't immediately impressive but oh well. Went in and was seated quickly by an extremely nice server and the place was pretty busy. The decor was a bit loud and looked to be suited towards kids and families. It was kind of loud but who cares I was there to grub. I opted for the bistec Lonches and tacos. Not sure exactly what combo I ordered. They were quick and plenty of food. My server was excellent. Both the Lonches and tacos were delicious! I would definitely return. read more

No prices in the Drive-Thru menu. Extremely greasy tacos. I order them with everything however the onion was cooked and I prefer raw. I wish it specified on the menu or I had been asked about the onion. The green and red salsa was not good at all, tasteless. I had to asked for a receipt and it was not an itemized receipt, only the total. I don't know what anything cost me or if I was charged credit card fees on a debit card. Also the drive thru area is sketchy and you wait for your food close to the trash so its smells. read more

I went for the first time, ordering through the drive through. I will definitely be back! I am new to the area and try to explore as much as possible, especially locally owned restaurants. I got tacos made with corn tortillas and filled with fajitas. While a touch on the greasy side, I understood it happens with fajitas. Salsa verde, charro beans, limes , baked potato with queso, 4 tacos and my drink came to a total of $10.01. Absolutely delicious and friendly, fast service. Looking forward to my next visit already, read more

The food here is AMAZING! Great taste and great service as well, the environment is really nice and friendly as well.

Very excellent service overall. My wife ordered the 4 taco combo that came with 4 tacos, a baked potato, beans and a drink. I ordered the taco pirata de bistec. Everything was stuffed to the max. They weren't selfish with the meat or toppings. The tacos were doubled tortilla and they were semi crispy. Totally recommend this place to anyone. They recently changed there name to el compallito. read more

See all

Maria fue buena mesera cuando estábamos ahí y la comida estaba muy rica y parte de todo el servicio

Yum!!! Delicious little tacos autenticos, salsa was great! Prices were good and service was good too!

Always order tacos from this place but one bad time is enough for me to stop going there. When I opened the beans when I got home I found a piece of tortilla inside of them. Almost as if they gave me used beans from someone because they were not filled all the way either. No quality control whatsoever. read more

Their tacos are the best, everything tastes amazing and the service is good. You can see the waiters hustling.

Really good tacos. What was a little disappointing, was I love my cheese. All the pictures on the outside have tacos covered in cheese. But they don't actually come with cheese. You have to add it on and it's a little extra. That being said..food is delicious. Great little taqueria. read more

Pros: Taquitos are really good, they are generous with the quantity of meat they put in their tacos and service is great. Wait staff is attentive and friendly. Cons: There is a lack of seating. Beans and salsa could use some improvement.. read more

Food is amazing as always but service is terrible I have had multiple wrong orders, most recently as of 30 mins ago missing loaded potato and some tacos and the tacos were not the tacos I ordered. It makes me feel like they don't even look at the orders and just throw whatever together cause they just can't seem to get y orders right. read more

Favorite place to go. Everything is amazingly good! Taco combo, papas, the beans! Everything is great.

This is exactly what you look for when you're looking authentic Mexican tacos. This taqueria is what the tacos from the Calle del taco in reynosa taste like. People that complain about this being too greasy has never had tacos on the streets of mexico. Overall great tacos and lonches. Very generous with the meat too. Chingos of carne in there. Beans where fire too. read more

I came by with my sister, because she was taking a drivers-ed course next door and had a lunch break. It's good, authentic, cheap tacos--just like I like them. The food was out super quick and they also had aguas frescas. Highly recommend. read more

The first time I went, everything was delicious. Beans, tacos, potato. But slowly they have started to not care about customer service or food service. The food is a toss up, sometimes good, sometimes terrible. read more

You know how someone always over hyped places and when you finally get to try it for yourself and it doesn't disappoint? Well this WAS the place. Months back service was amazing, cooks also amazing. Every taco and lonche I got looked as if it was hand crafted by your own grandmother. So that was then. Now!!! You have to stop the waitresses to take your order. They never bring out your beans or food until you bug them for the fourth time, and food is like a meal I could've easily made myself. Nothing good ever lasts for forever. At least I'll have the memories. 3.6/10 read more

I only wish I could review the food! The waitress took our order immediately however, the food never arrived. People who arrived 20-25 minutes after us got their food first. When we finally asked, they said our ticket was placed in a spot where the cooks could not see it. The wait staff never bothered to check up on us, to let us know how our order was coming along and all the while table after table was getting their food first. They tried to make amends by saying our order was next, but by that time both indoor dining and drive thru lane were full. Suffice it to say that the employees are not attending the customers well. VERY POOR SERVICE. read more

This place is very good, service is just right. The food is filling, as well and the prices are good. I don't get why people would complain about having to go to the register to pay... it's just a couple of steps. read more

This used to be a spot where I would bring my family and friends. Now they just don't care, they will leave you waiting for easily 15 min before someone comes to take your order. The food is good, but that doesn't cover up the fact that after you get your food good luck seeing a waiter. read more

I came here because it was recommended by a close friend. The tacos are good compared to other places I've been to. They did not disappoint. I chose bistec combo. The meat was tender and tortillas weren't too dry or too greasy, just in between. However, the preparation of the baked potato was very sloppy and too over cooked. Pricing seems like a good deal. Huge CON: I ordered only through drive thru (never been inside) and they took a very long time to get 2 order of tacos (20+ min). Thankfully, I wasn't in a rush and that's because I'm impatient. I'll only recommend if it's the last place open on a Sunday besides Taco P. read more

Authentic taqueria. So delicious I have been craving it since the first time I ate inside. The tortillas were exactly how I liked them, crispy on the edges, but soft to the bite. Good meat and the papas do not disappoint. They have aguas frescas too!! Limonada is always good and they had agua de melón last time. So delicious. They do orders to go. As far as the one star reviewer goes, a little exercise after a meal is never bad. Because you have to pay at the cash register shouldn't give this restaurant a 1 star review. It's really good & is in the heart of Weslaco! read more

Very good tacos for a very cheap price. Their salsas are amazing, as well as their charro beans. They're pretty much open all week, too. And that's all you really want from a taco place, isn't it? read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! We waited at the drive through for 30 minutes. No one took our order. We decided to get down and order inside. Three people in front of me paying their dine in orders. When it got to me she decided to help the people at the drive through. I left. Hire more people and get some customer service training. read more

Didn't get a chance to try there food. Tried to order by phone but they put me on hold for more then 20 minutes.

Worst service ever. Server never ask us if we need anything else. We ask for our check and the answer was you have t go to the cash register to pay. What kind of restaurant is this? So disappointed read more
