Los Compadres 3412 North 23rd Street, McAllen, TX 78501

"They have a great selection of dishes to choose from for the lunch, if you have never had Mexican food or have little experience with it, this place will give you a taste of Mexico, from their pork in green salsa (my personal favorite from here), asada de puerco, ceviche etc. The food is hard to judge, as some of the items cooked are delicious like their refried beans, pork in green salsa and rejas, but others are mediocre or terrible tasting like their chiles rellenos. The flour tortillas are store bought, but their corn tortillas are made fresh, try asking for gorditas/tortillas with cheese in it, they will make them for you. The servers are a hit or miss, sometimes they are attentive, other times they are not."

"The food and atmosphere are top-notch. However, the last two times I've been to this location, our waitresses would ignore our table. We got sat down at the exact same table the two times I've been to this location, and we would get ignored after being sat down. I completely understand waitresses needing to take breaks and/or lunch. But to not even let any other waitress know so they could help our table or something is just very poor judgment, in my opinion. We would be at our table with no refills, napkins, utensils, tortillas, etc, for well over 15 minutes. That kind of service is something I could look past the 1st time.. but a 2nd time and being sat at the exact same table as the prior visit? Either it's a big coincidence, or that's the table they use to put people on ignore. I'll give this place one more chance, and maybe I'll change my rating in service, but for now, it'll be a 1/5. The food and atmosphere are awesome, though. If my 3rd trip here is the same, I won't be going back to this location and will just stick to going to the one near Jackson."

"I was surprised to see this place. I hadn’t noticed it before. The price was was excellent as it included the drink with the price. There was an abundance of food from eggs of every variety, menudo three ways, pancakes made to order, fresh fruit, and pork steaks and much much more. Everything tasted fresh and the service was awesome. Quick and responsive. The only downside was how the tables and seats were mismatched. The table was wobbly but that’s an easy fix and shouldn’t be a deferment from going. I recommend."
