    Chips and salsa
    Mike V.

    Tucked into a back area off of Oakdale and Sylvan, this is not the easiest place to get to. But once there, you experience the standard that is a Mis Compadres. Walk in and go to your right to order, they are considered a bar, so you can get a couple libations with your meal. The menu is expansive and of a reasonable price. The portions are always large, and your money is well spent. I ordered the combination taco and enchilada. First I had to hit up the salsa bar. House avocado salsa is rich in flavor, Spicy tomato, and a mild couzin, A roasted tomato salsa that is my favorite . Pickled jalapeños and carrots, lemons and extras. Everything is brought out to your table when your order is ready. My meal was almost perfect, the carne asada was plentiful and tender. My chicken enchilada w red sauce was perfectly shredded. Rice and beans had good texture and great taste. I love the food, but sadly my order is wrong every time I go. Ordered the same order three times and three times got something else. Receipt was correct, kitchen had problem :( Even though it is not easy to get here, it is worth the time! Stop in today.

    Been wanting to stop here, finally had a chance for lunch. When you walk in you order and then take a seat. They give you a number and the food is brought out to you. Soda machine and salsa bar to the far left. Different salsa, avocado one was awesome not spicy at all. I order a Taco Combination Meal, came with 2 tacos (soft or fried) I chose fried. Homemade fried and good crunch and did not split underneath. Came with meat (I ordered carne asada) lettuce, cheese, green salsa (mild) and sour cream. A lot of meat and tasted really good. Also came with Spanish rice and refried beans, both good. I also order a chicken tortilla soup (mainly because I was cold, definitely too much food. The soup was hot and hit the spot. Big chunks of chicken, carrots, potatoes on the side they give you fried tortilla strips, half of an avocado diced, cheese and hotter salsa to add if you wanted. I chose not to add. Still very flavorful. Will definitely be back.

    My family and I always come here when we're craving Mexican food. We usually order their carnitas tacos, super burrito or enchiladas. They also have a self serve salsa bar. Service is always friendly and attentive

    I don't like leaving negative reviews, specially a place we have supported and visited often. Service is great, decor and vibe are great, and we can walk to this place so, so. Sooo convenient. That's the main reason we have frequented so much over the years. We have a gathering with friends where we go to each others homes for lunch once a month or so and we usually take chicken nachos from here and they are always great. You know how they say never say never or always???? Sometimes the food is great and other times same dish is an epic fail. Last few times I got the torta milanesa with fries and that had been pretty good, the last time fries where soggy and milanesa not cooked and hard, kind of gross. Wife usually has a bean and rice burrito so that is hard to mess up, until today, no flavor, needed salt rice was hard and maybe old, just bad. I figured good old nachos should be safe since my last torta was not good......what a mistake that was, rancid and old chips, how does a Mexican restaurant serve rancid chips??! That's the last draw for me won't come back again. I really like the people that run and own it but the inconsistency of the food is just too much of a gamble. As convenient as this is , I'll rather drive or go to the always busy and usually packed Mexican restaurant across the street and wait. Not worth the picture either....my dog loved the nachos however so she came up!

    During the height of the pandemic, my wife and I went here twice, both times I saw people who I was told there the owners, with NO masks on (the servers to their credit did). I will never forget their lack of concern for their customers and failure to model this important COVID countermeasure. Food and service was, meh, had to flag down the servers both times for the basics (knife, fork, spoon, napkins). I am GLAD that Padilla's opened across the street and will NEVER go to TMC again. Done.

    Torta

    Their torta is HUGE! Such a deal, and super delicious. Always pleased with this restaurant. I'm sure I'll be back again!

    Super Wet Burrito (Red Sauce)
    Carlos A.

    Food was okay, my burrito was very bland with a lot of fatty meat. The atmosphere was good though, very alive and clean with everyone having good attitude. After ordering you seat yourself anywhere you like, which is nice because the restaurant is pretty big. Location and parking are also nice. Would give this place another chance and order something differently.

    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.)

    Cool ambiance and good service…read more Ordered a couple of wet burritos to go; chicken and chile verde. Wife liked her burrito but felt that chicken was a little dry. My burrito was pretty good so we will need to come back to dine in and try some other items. Overall 4 stars.

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.

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.

The complimentary chips along with their salsa and beans paired amazingly well. I proceeded to get the choose three build your own combo with a beef taquito(pictured), green chicken enchilada, and a chicken burrito. The beef taquito was first of all huge, the biggest one that I have ever seen. It came with plenty of toppings including guacamole, sour cream, cheese, cabbage, and tomatoes. The burrito was decent, definetely could have used at least some more salsa, ended up being a filler on my plate. I saved the best for last, the classic enchilada was smothered in a delicious salsa that I dipped my other two items into.

I asked for grilled chicken and got stewed chicken with absolutely zero flavor. They said it came with guacamole and sour cream--neither were anywhere to be found. The "salad" was basically lettuce, pico, and whole beans with a super tiny portion overall. I added bell peppers and onions, maybe five pieces total, and they hit me with a $6 upcharge. Would've been nice to know that before so I could've said no thanks. Final price for this subpar salad? $25. I actually had to go back just to show them. The bar manager, Hamad (spelling), tried to help by adding more chicken and then told me the sour cream and guac were "under the shell." Really? Who hides condiments under the shell? Total waste of time and money. I'm done. No more chances.
