Reviews
"Great place overall. They offer a lot of drink options and margarita flavors on the rocks or frozen. They also have a ton of menu items. It was very packed for a Saturday night so it felt like a good sign that it was popular. Our servers were super nice and had great customer service. Our drinks were just okay, they did the job and were sweet but not the best. I also thought the food was a little bland and mediocre overall. I felt like seasoning was missing. It didn’t feel as authentic as I thought it was going to be so I was a little disappointed in the food. They play music and the atmosphere is great so I will probably try it again, maybe a different dish would be better. I had the two tamales plate and was not as much of a fan of the tamales but the rice and beans were good. We also got complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was great, but the chips tasted stale. May give it another chance on our next visit to see if other menu items are better."
"I've been coming here for years. The food and the service are still fantastic. My favorite combo is the Vagabundo. Flaming margaritas are a must!"
"Best service I've ever had. The atmosphere is very nostalgic. Service is super great. Fast, efficient, on time, and always tentive to my needs. Weather, it's small or big. Very good hospitality. If I could give more of the 5 stars, I would give it 10 out of 10 stars for good delicious food hospitality and great service. Very, very friendly."
"El compadre is a great place for authentic Mexican food. Everything we ordered was really good and they make a delicious margarita. The atmosphere was nice and also fit the authentic Mexican feel. The portion sizes were huge and we took home a lot of leftovers! Service was also very good, our server was very attentive and accommodating."
"An institution in Hollywood with kitsch hacienda décor, the food here is very good. We went on a Sunday evening and there was a live band playing right next to our table which was simply delightful. A good Mexican restaurant with an extensive menu and house specialties."
