"The food at this restaurant is enjoyable, but my only issue is with the tortillas. At home, you would never find tortillas that are not properly sealed in the refrigerator, as they become hard and stale, which affects the taste. When I order a burrito here, I find that the edges and other parts of the tortilla taste stale and unpleasant. As I write this review, I am currently at another taco shop where the tortillas are much better - warm and soft. I am not affiliated with any taco shop, I am simply a fan of Mexican food. I believe that better care could be taken in cooking and keeping the tortillas fresh."

The Burritos are worth the price you pay. Big enough to share and still full and taste very good. I'm going 30 miles to eat here.
Bradley
This restaurant always brings back memories for me. The food is good and the burritos are delicious. The building used to be an old Wienerschnitzel.

I've lived out of state 15 years now and El Compadre is still my first stop every time I come back into town. The friendliness of the staff and the mouth-watering menu is unwavering. View menu

The food was delicious, but I was disappointed to find that the burritos were the smallest I have ever seen, especially given the high price of $20. It was not worth it after factoring in all the additional fees.
Charles
This is the best authentic taco shop in the country! The service is friendly and fast, it feels like family. The enchiladas are amazing, they are what dreams are made of. This is the best 24-hour late-night spot ever.
