Los Compadres

We tried the steak tacos and the pork chili tacos. There was a lot of meat, which was great. The pork was dry and required a lot of flavoring. There were 3 tacos for $ 10 (seemed small). We were expecting a hard taco, vegetables, and some cheese. It is challenging to serve, because the meat soaked the tortilla.

I’ve never been to their food truck, but their standalone restaurant is DELICIOUS! I am a huge fan of chilaquiles, and theirs are as good as every place I’ve ever had them when I’ve traveled to Mexico. The staff are polite, and always offer me water when I wait for my take-​out orders. I recommend everyone go here. The tacos are a bit pricey for how much you get, but they’re absolutely delicious either way!

The last two times I have tried to purcahsed food at Los Compradres food truck their Debit Machine does not work. I never carry cash and I never pay with my credit card for food. Maybe it’s just not meant to be but I don’t know how they expect to do business when a good amount of people rely on their debit card as a form of transaction. Too bad for them.

Literally the worst Mexican food I’ve had and the drinks aren’t any better, unless you like a little gasoline in your margarita. The server paid no attention while we placed our order, or when we tried to voice our complaints. To be honest I’m surprised our orders even made it to the table. If you’re looking for authentic Mexican, try venturing a few blocks East.

This food truck-​cum-​restaurant is a nice addition to the local scene. The bright, multi-​colored space has about 10 tables, with what is best described as cheap but cheerful décor. The service was good, and the food was too. The menu includes mostly expected items such as tacos, burritos and the like… we opted for the enchilada and the chicken mole. A bowl of homemade tortilla chips arrived first, quite thick and substantial, with a good crunch but not much curvature to help scoop up the delicious salsas. Of the smooth red and green salsas provided, the green in particular stood out (in a good way) for its limey, herbed slight creaminess, almost like they mixed a tomatillo salsa and a runny guacamole. As it happens, we also ordered guacamole, and this was a generous chunky version with enough for us to apply to chicken mains after eating all the appy chips.
The enchilada were pretty much what you’d expect, it’s hard to go wrong with all cheese and refried beans. It is nice that they give you the choice of green or red (hotter) chili sauce, though half and half was not an option (we asked). The chicken mole was a sizeable roasted quarter chicken slathered with lots of homemade mole. The mole was delicious, thick and flavorful with a distinctive sesame bent. Way better than the bottled stuff we try to use at home. It is simply served with tortillas so you pull the meat off the bone and make your own wrap. You can also throw in some of the seasoned rice that’s on the plate, but it’s so tasty on its own that it’s almost a shame to mask it. This restaurant is licensed, and everything washed down nicely with a couple of Dos Equis lagers.
We finished with churros, and were presented with a confectionary quandary: chocolate or cajeta for dipping? Being fans of all things caprine, we took the road less travelled and got the cajeta, a goat’s milk caramel with a real punch. We enjoyed the (one large) churro itself a little less… it was a bit too hard and dry on the outside, and just a tad undercooked on the inside. Maybe the oil temp was too high that day. All told though, this was only a small mar on an otherwise great meal.
