In this former Hardees is a completely transformed Mexican restaurant in Phoebus right across from the Hampton VA Hospital. My friends and I checked it out today. They had eaten there before and this was my first visit. I was impressed with the decor. Seating is generous and the vibe is comfortable. A/C was blasting in a few places. Full bar for those that imbibe. I saw Speedy Gonzalez on the lunch menu, which used to be a Mexican eatery menu staple. The menu is extensive! Service was attentive and quick. The loss of a star is the food, which was mediocre. Oh my! My expectations were not met. My friend's taco salad seemed to be missing the meat with an overabundance of lettuce. My Speedy was unappealing. Taco seemed good but the meat was watery, as were the beans, The cheese enchilada was the most edible with a red sauce on top. The chips and salsa was good as was the unsweet tea. My Speedy and unsweet tea was just over $15 so $20 with tip. I would eat here again, possibly choose something else to try but otherwise I would just consume mediocre fare unfortunately. read more

I wanted to give Tres Compadres in Phoebus a fair chance, but unfortunately my experience left a lot to be desired. When I walked in, the server immediately seemed bothered. I asked for menus to go, and I was ready to place my order. A customer (a Caucasian woman) was paying her bill, and I was asked to step aside so she could finish her transaction. I said "okay" and waited. When the server came back to take my order, her attitude continued to feel irritated. When I asked if I could make a simple substitution, she let out a noticeable sigh, and at that point I decided I would not be returning. I've been in the area for about a year and was hoping to have a better first experience, but customer service plays a big role in whether people come back. Unfortunately, based on this interaction, Tres Compadres will not be a restaurant I return to. read more

I really wanted to love this place but it just was just okay. You're paying way higher prices here than most Mexican restaurants. They forgot our cheese dip 3 times and it didn't come until after we were almost done with our meal. Drinks were filled only once. The restaurant was clean, and spacious. The workers were really nice. I just wish the experience was more to write about, very average but EXPENSIVE. read more

Great food I'm very particular about my Mexican food especially tacos. This place is great. Taste good and authentic customer service is 10 out of 10 also i'm very simple all i get is tacos and beans and rice and queso for the price is very reasonable. I would recommend anyone in the area. read more

Went here for lunch the other day. Service was amazing. They were very quick and attentive. Chips and salsa were good. They also brought over a white sauce that I've never had before that I liked. However, my meal was the taco salad, which didn't have the most flavor. I wasn't upset with it and it didn't taste bad; I just thought it would have a little bit more flavor or spice. read more

We were lucky enough to be here visiting from Phoenix when they opened on July 16, 2024, and had the privilege to write their first Yelp review. We happen to be visiting again and couldn't miss the chance to return on Cinco de Mayo. Again fantastic food and phenomenal atmosphere. Good food, great margaritas, and festive croud. I'm happy to see their success. Cheers! read more

Stopped in for their Taco Tuesday Specials and they did not disappoint! I tried their crunchy shredded chicken tacos that are a $1.50 each and they were freshly prepared on fresh fried tortillas. They also offer ground beef for $1.50 and the cool thing is for $2.50 you can get grilled chicken or grilled steak. Service was efficient and kind. Checked to make sure we had what we needed. Lots of seating inside with a combination of booths and tables. Good for big groups! Also has a nice outside patio area. read more

i ordered for tacos 2 chicken and 2 beef ... the tacos was cold ... i ask for pickles reddish and the waiter brought out the wrong thing ... instead of just saying they don't have it ... the chicken tastes spoiled the beef ones was ok .... the waiter spoke no english the ambience was the best part of my experience , but never again read more

03/01/25 I had to write another review on their Arroz con Pollo Lunch special. The only words that I uttered after almost every other bite was "WOW" just like my previous order. I wanted to try something different from the menu because I always order the Camarones al Mojo de ajo. Every bite had tons of flavor. It was so good I didn't leave a grain of rice! Service is always great and will continue to come! 03/02/25 I tried another dish on the menu! The fajita taco salad Lunch with grilled chicken. The crisp flour tortilla wasn't too crunchy. It was a soft yet crispy crunch .. think of it like an airy-type crunch. I added guacamole on top. Again, they are always on point. Love this restaurant! read more

Great food, good prices, and excellent service - what more could I want? They have menu options that I've never seen in any other Mexican restaurant. Try it. That's all I can really say. Just try it. read more

Stopped in again for early dinner. Not very busy. Super attentive staff. She had the chicken tacos. I had the Al pastor quesadilla. Both were amazing. Super plentiful and flavorful. The chicken had nice grilled bits. The Al pastor was sweet and savory. Pineapple chunks were a nice touch. I had the house habanero hot sauce. Bottle that stuff for the masses. My one small complaint was $2.29 up charge to add some cheese to the brides taco. I felt that was a little much. It won't keep me outta there but a little insulting to see at the end of the meal On the check. Great food. Will be back. read more

My new go to restaurant for delicious food and service. Meeting friends for lunch and loving Mexican cuisine, we decided to give Tres Compadres a visit. We were not disappointed!!!! The food is not just the typical Mexican dishes usually served, but the group decided way beyond average......absolutely delicious. Dylan, our server, was attentive and very knowledgeable answering all of our questions. Great dining experience!!! We will be returning for more great dining experiences!!! read more

We decided to try this out since it just opened. The decor is typical for Mexican Restaurant. They have booths and tables. Outdoor seating as well. There is a full bar with TVs. Extensive food and drink menus. The drink was delicious, I had the watermelon margarita. My boyfriend ordered the Birria tacos. The consume would make your mouth water but he said the meat was nothing special. I had the "Pick Three" taco, beef burrito and enchilada. It was tasty. The prices are extremely reasonable and the service was attentive. Moderate noise, it's not a big restaurant. read more

Dillion, our server was excellent!! For the food. I had the Burrito Cancun, excellent flavor. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Will see you again . read more

Does this look red to you? I ordered 2 red sauces delivered to my home and this is what I got. This is the THIRD, major issue that I've had with this place since they've been open (short time). A talk to the manager has brought about no changes. It all started with a nastiness from the little waitress with the long sickly looking ponytail. read more

***READ YOUR BILL**** I visited the restaurant this weekend on Saturday (1Feb25). I always want to and do support local businesses and fellow Latinos. I did not waist my time to confront the staff I just know I won't be back or recommend them due to wrong business practices. My final bill was $64 before Tax. The itemization didn't say how much the tax was but they charged just over 15.5% totaling after tax $74+. The local tax by law in Phobeus is considerably lower than that for packaged food and retail liquor. The business is tacking on extra packed prices through a blank tip charge. Tacking on this hidden fee is a method to build revenue and make money off what should be legitimate tax charges. Oh and they charged $2 for payment by card, so just on my transaction almost $12 was made extra. I'm sure that illegal & it's unethical practices like this that bring lack of support to small minority businesses. Ósea no se estén bajando la gente. read more

Our order was a kids taco with rice and beans( the taco meat was too salty and not edible), a kids chicken fingers with fries ( this was fine), a Fajitas Texanas (was salty also well), and a Burrito Mexicano (The cheese sauce was salty and the meat was too salty. I was was only able to take to bites.). Paid and never returning. read more

went for lunch with my best friend, my mom, and toddler. everything was great. the margaritas tasted delicious and got the best friend and I feeling ready to enjoy the sunshine outside! 2.50/steak tacos on Tuesdays and they were yummy and packed with meat and toppings. my mom had the seafood chimichanga and said it was so good and filled with shrimp and crab meat. Mexican street corn was good. Could use more something that I can't really point out... but I still ate the entire thing. Not very expensive. Definitely plan on going again. read more

The food was excellent. I got the three tacos asada. It came with everything plus grilled onions on the side. Definitely will come here again. read more

We stopped by tonight and really enjoyed the experience. Staff were very nice, funny, and service was fast. My girlfriend ordered got the birria tacos, I ordered the wet quesadilla. The wet quesadilla is really yummy, and a ton of food. Beef and chicken, cheese sauce... delicious. The birria tacos are a generous serving of brisket with lots of consome/hot sauce. We were both stuffed and took home a bunch of food. BTW - Order the "Skinny margarita". It's fresh squeezed juice with tequila and it is AMAZING! We'll be back! read more

I haven't been back to my other favorite Mexican spot in Phoebus since Tres Compadres opened! Amazing what they've done with what used to be a standard Hardee's fast food spot. The decor is outstanding - art work depicting Frida Kahlo and an ode to those who harvest from the earth. The place is light filled and comfortable. On my first visit, I had the rice bowl and the Mexican street corn and was immediately hooked. The service is outstanding, the portions huge, and the seasoning is perfect. In fact, rice bowl is a deceptively simple name for this dish. It's really ACP kicked up a notch, if you get it with chicken. I've also ordered carry out and delivery. The rice bowl with shrimp wasn't as good. For carry out, the steak el macho and pollo Monterey were delicious. The steak was tender and both portions were plentiful. On my next visit, we had margaritas with our rice bowls. They have an extensive selection of margarita flavors. I had tried the mangochamoy on a previous visit and learned something new, having never heard of it before. This time we had coconut and though I considered watermelon and raspberry, I'm pretty sure mine was mango. Good stuff. read more

Visited around 7:3-8pm on a Friday. No wait time. Attentive service. Food was great. We both got birria tacos. Flavor and tortillas were amazing. 2nd closest to SoCal taste. Fresh Guacamole was a 6/10. Very chunky and was missing flavor. Made table side and still very fresh tasting. Margarita was a 10/10. Menu doesn't show pricing of drinks but there were many choices. Server was very friendly and attentive. There was music playing, great for casual dining. Great portions for the cost. read more

Ordered their stuffed jalapeños, they come with 5. Instead I get 5 quarter sized pieces of a jalapeño chopped up to make 5 pieces with a sh*t ton of lettuce to fill up the bowl to make it look like there is food there. This was $7.49 btw. I feel so ripped off! There is nothing special about this place, if you've had non authentic mid VA mexican food, then you've had this place's food. read more

Solid Mexican restaurant. Glad to have them in the area. There's a few options in the immediate area for a burrito, but they are more "fusion" than traditional fare. Everyone was super friendly and attentive. The food was pretty good, could use a bit more spice. That being said, will be a place I'll frequent in the area. Would recommend. read more

Amazing little find. You won't be disappointed. Guacamole Fresca is on point. Enchiladas fajitas has amazing flavor. Salsa is mild so if you're from Texas you'll need to ask them to step it up a notch read more

Great service they will make the guacamole fresh at the table!!!!! Love the ambiance. The food is excellent good portions. I am so glad that we found an authentic Mexican restaurant. We will be coming back!!!!!! read more

Went in and ordered to-go. Hostess was friendly, and even double checked everything I asked for before putting in the order. Waited only maybe 10-15 minutes and it all came out piping hot. I haven't had this good of homemade tortillas since leaving San Diego. Will definitely be back!! read more

I'm from the west coast.... Where the REAL Mexican food is. This place is hands down the best I've had while living in Hampton roads. Service was good, sat at the bar and had zero complaints. read more

Service and Ambiance were the worst I've experienced in many years. As a matter of fact, I downloaded this app just so I could post this review. I have never complained about a restaurant in my life. The food was very pricey, but not bad. However, the ambience made me leave the restaurant and not finish my meal. I spoke to the waiter about it and he did nothing, and when I went to pay my check, I told who I thought was the manager and all she did was make excuses and agreed but there was nothing she could do. I find that unacceptable. so what was my problem? The young adults they sat us behind were extremely rude disrespectful, having conversations and cussing about things that are not appropriate in public that nobody wants to hear, especially with a family. As many great Mexican restaurants there are in the city of Hampton, I will not be returning to this one. No Bueno. read more

horrible service went in and got seated and served chips then didn't see a waiter for the next 20 minutes that i stayed ended up just walking out since nobody wanted to serve me read more

I have been waiting for this restaurant to open for a while now. It was worth the wait. Last night, I placed an order for pickup. I ordered the Chori Pollo, and it did not disappoint. The staff I dealt with were friendly, got my meal very quickly even though the place was packed full, and they were all very friendly. The ambiance inside seemed rather nice. Though the place was filled with customers, it didn't seem claustrophobic, which is surprising given this used to be a fast food restaurant. They designed the interior very well to maximize room without seeming to sacrifice customer comfort. Well done! You have a dedicated customer with me! read more
