“Awesome chicken milanesa torta with the best rice and beans. We also had a bunch of tacos (unpictured) that we loved. Can’t wait to go back and grub some more!”
“Chips & salsa served upon arrival, along with 3 hot sauces already there. The barbacoa Ramen was served with onion, limes, cilantro, & tortillas to make little ramen tacos. Absolutely incredible, so tasty, highly recommend. Very comfort food in these winter months”
“Whoa… this al pastor is sooo necessary! Flavor, crispy, and the right amount of spice (add some of their homemade red sauce for extra quick) in a flour tortilla but their corn tortilla is PERFECT, no need to double up, one is enough!”
“😁 My new go to Mexican place! 😆 wow fast fresh amazing flavors a lot of selections! See Menu Tacos 🌮 Tortas Burritos 🌯 Quesadillas must try the 3 compadres tacos there specialty dish. Crispy rolled tacos with a house special green sauce so delicious Will not disappoint, I always sit and dine in, my personal preference I don’t like good food to travel. Also complementary chips and salsa that is great!”
“The restaurant is beautiful and clean. The service was fast, kind and very friendly. But the tacos were just not that special. We had all pastor, steak, barbacoa, with barbacoa being the best. Their sauces were excellent. If you're in the neighborhood then stop in and get some tacos but I would not go out of my way.”
“They were out of al pastor so I paid extra for steak. 6 small pieces of meat and all rice and lettuce. Sad”
“Los 3 Compadres de Guerrero LLC I visited Los 3 Compadres de Guerrero LLC today for my mom’s 72nd birthday and was unfortunately a bit disappointed with our experience. Service and Order Confusion I initially tried to order a chorizo dinner with rice and beans. The waitress informed me that chorizo only came in tacos, which surprised me because I had ordered it as a dinner platter here in the past. To keep things moving, I ordered the chorizo taco dinner for my mom. However, when the food arrived, I quickly realized my mom actually wanted a chorizo and eggs dinner with rice and beans. Because of the mix-up, she didn't touch her food. I would have thought the waitress might have connected the dots when I previously mentioned having a chorizo platter here in the past, but she didn’t. We ended up reordering the correct chorizo and eggs dinner. The waitress asked if we wanted to wrap up the untouched taco dinner to go, and I said no. Frankly, I expected them to remove it from the bill since it was completely untouched and the confusion stemmed from the initial miscommunication, but we were charged for it anyway. Food Quality and Authenticity I also ran into an issue with my own order of cheese enchiladas. They tasted a bit strange, so I asked what kind of cheese they used. I am used to authentic, Mexican-style enchiladas made with Queso Chihuahua. The waitress explained that they use mozzarella instead—a cheese primarily used in Italian food and pizza, not authentic Mexican cuisine. Unfortunately, no accommodations or alternatives were offered, even though I barely ate any of my meal. Final Verdict This restaurant feels much more like Tex-Mex than authentic Mexican food. While most people in the area might not notice the difference, I certainly do, having eaten authentic Mexican food for 48 years. It was not the birthday experience I had hoped for”
“Best lengua around! Everything is so tasty. I come back as often as I can to get lengua taco dinner. The horchata is delicious. And I just tried the elote today. So good! Also, the people who work there are very kind. Don’t wait, grab some tacos today! You won’t regret it.”
“Great restaurant. I accidently reviews the wrong place. Sorry guys. You guys are amazing.🙃”
“So so so worth it. The real deal, genuine flavor and taste.”
“I’m really happy we decided to stop by this place on a whim 🌮✨ It turned out to be such a great find! The food was absolutely incredible-full of rich, authentic flavors that you can taste in every bite 😍🔥 I especially recommend the Compadres Tacos (the crispy tacos) because they were seriously delicious 👌 The texture was perfect, and the seasoning made them stand out even more. Everything felt fresh and well-prepared, which made the experience even better 🙌 If you’re looking for truly authentic and flavorful food, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I’d gladly come back again and try more from the menu! 💯”
