"My Mexican friend showed me a social media post about the best tortas found in San Jose. Since none of us has ever gone to Tacos El Compa, we decided to come out here and try it.When we arrived around noon, there was already a long line people sitting in the small, limited spaces available. When we got to the front, the person let us know that it was gonna be an hour wait. Well... we were already here, very hungry but also wanted to try this place, so we will wait.Luckily they gave us our drinks. I went with the strawberry fresca which was delicious and had a good amount of strawberry flavor! My friend ordered the horchata, which he said was probably the second best horchata he has ever had (the best was down in San Diego, so for something close in proximity, I will gladly come here . But by all means, very good!Finally, around 45 minutes later, our orders arrived!My friend saw on the menu that the carnitas were deep fried , so he immediately got giddy and excited. He said that all other carnitas in other restaurants usually aren 't fried (not traditional so they usually fall flat.So we both ordered carnitas tacos, and boy that was delicious! Soft and juicy, with some fried bits you can taste and feel on the sides. ONE AWESOME THING TO NOTE: my friend says the tortillas are most likely HOMEMADE since they didn 't come in perfect circles or shaped perfectly. There is evidence of imperfect cuts and shaping. Regardless, the tortilla was soo good!Next up were the tortas. I had carne asada with mine and man! First bite tasted like a hamburger to me, which I love and do not mind at all! Not to mention that this is a huge chonker (not as big as Mexico Bakery down at Story Rd, but still a darn good size! . I think Mexico Bakery is larger, but I prefer the ingredients and seasonings used here!They also provided a red sauce and green sauce, which the red sauce was spicy and good, while the green sauce was savory. I personally like it without the sauce since the meat marinade and ingredients used are delicious on its own, that any sauce added would overpower the flavor they put in. But if I had to choose, I actually like the green sauce more.Overall, 5/5. I love this place. This is going to be a tough place to beat for tortas. I would definitely try the other menu items next time! Pro-tip: just come when they open to beat the lines.Parking: In a plaza"

This is a place that is so good. I don't even want to tell you about it. This place has great food but the stand out item is the Torta Cubana.. be warned, you will probably need a to go box. It's pretty big and filling with multiple meats and so much more.Food: 5/5

Hand made tortillas, plenty of meat in the tacos and all the spices in flavors hit the spot. Friendly staff. Had to try the hot Cheeto taco just to say we did but the originals are the best! Oh and the agua frescas are good too, horchata was def authentic and not watered down. Voir le carte

I'm not an expert on Mexican cuisine, but I chose this place due to its high ratings. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed. The food was rather salty. The restaurant itself was small, which didn't bother me, but it seemed like they didn't have enough time to keep it clean. Overall, I would rate the food a 3 out of 5.

If you're looking for authentic and delicious Mexican cuisine, look no further than Tacos El Compa Taqueria. From their mouth-watering tacos to their flavorful guacamole, every dish is a treat for your taste buds. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is top-notch. Don't miss out on their homemade margaritas, they're some of the best in town!

This is my new favorite Mexican food place in the world…it’s the absolute best. I hope my Mexican mom isn’t reading this because it’s even better than hers! It’s a small and unassuming place. I ordered chili verde and a Torta. Both were amazing and just thinking about them now makes me hungry for them again. Unfortunately I live over an hour away. I will be back without a doubt.

I was taking fencing classes in the same plaza as Tacos El Compa and decided to check it out. They offer a wide variety on their menu, but they are especially known for their tortas. Priced at $16, one torta is enough to feed two people or can last for two meals. It's incredibly filling, packed with plenty of meat and ingredients. The flavors were outstanding, and I definitely enjoyed it more than their tacos. I highly recommend trying their tortas!

We loved this place!Went to this taqueria on a whim. They had really good reviews, so we took a detour before heading back up to Santa Clara.I got the Nacho fries with carne asada and 2 tacos with al pastor and carnitas. My spouse got 2 of the hot cheetos taco with al pastor and chorizo). He also got the chicken taquitos.Their asada was great flavorful and not dry! The fries they use (skinny fries) work well with the toppings in the nachos. We LOVED the al pastor! It wasn't pineapple forward like most al pastor out there, so we enjoyed it. The carnitas weren't the best that we've had, but at least it wasn't dry. We also enjoyed the hot cheetos tortilla surprisingly.My spouse liked the taquit...
