Los Compadres Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
We eat here regularly. Chips and salsa already waiting on the table. The food never disappoints. Portions are generous. We share our order and they are always willing to bring out an extra plate. Staff is welcoming and friendly especially Esmeralda her service is outstanding THANK YOU! ...
If I could give 10 stars I would. We went in with a little uncertainty as I don’t like any level of spice, but remembering a Mexican restaurant we went to in England where I found a non-spicy dinner I enjoyed, I had my fingers crossed. It turns out I had nothing to worry about. Our server was SO helpful - he explained so much of the menu to us and answered all of our questions. While we were waiting for our food he brought us some samples of pork dishes from the menu to try. My husband, always says doesn’t like pork, said it was absolutely delicious - and it really was SO tasty. Our food arrived and honestly, it really was absolutely delicious. Every single thing we ordered tasted AMAZING. When we got the bill we couldn’t believe how cheap it was. It was definitely worth double. The only negative thing I can think of is that we are leaving the area tomorrow so won’t be able to eat there again. Lovely staff Delicious food Not at all expensive Perfect. Just perfect
This place was popping. I'm a big fan of pozole and this was the nearest one to where I'm staying in Albuquerque. Walking around 11:15 in the morning and it was still a 15 minute wait, given the popularity of breakfast and I'm assuming the popularity of lunch. I will say the pozole was good but not great. I had a weird flavor that I couldn't identify. Not enough spice. It would probably be top five to top 10 for what I've had in Colorado. It was a massive serving though. It's like one and a half of the average large pozole in Colorado. Staff was nice. The place was packed. Tons of parking. Would recommend and go back.
Ate at Los Compadres Restaurant today. We had the cheese enchiladas ala carte and pazole. It was all amazing. We loved the red chile. I got a small bowl but it was actually very large. The toasted torta on the side was buttery, warm and fresh. The pork and hominy were plentiful in the soup. Everything was well priced and well seasoned. The place was packed but our food came out fast. Also, this is one the few places with fresh free salsa and chips which we devoured!
Very good, authentic Mexican food, hearty portions and quick service! This place is nice and crowded - very popular. We ordered the burrito carne asada combo plate with fresh tortillas; the three, cheese enchiladas plate, and a a la carte order of a pork tamale with green chile sauce. Yummy and filling.
Chips and salsa the bomb. Food is the bomb. Girl greeter needs to work on customer skills. Waitress was good. The son at checkout- cool dude. Get the 3 carne asada tacos w/ whole beans/rice. Also the chicken tostadas.
They never disappoint. We always order the #1 Enchilada plate & the #3 burrito plate. 10/10 absolutely love!
Yes! My favorite Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque!! The menudo is delicious the chicken chimichangas are amazing the salsa is sooo goood. They have bottled sodas and the music and atmosphere is perfect! I love eating here alone or with my family. We all love it. It gets very busy tho I do gotta say sometimes the wait is 20-30 min but it’s worth the wait.
