I visited this place for the first time and I was impressed. I ordered the molcajete which is grilled steak, grilled chicken, shrimp, cactus, chives, topped with slices of queso fresco served with a side of rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and tortillas. To drink I ordered the strawberry margarita made with Casamigos. The margarita and the molcajete were really good. The chips and red salsa were good as well. One of the best salsas I've had.

We rarely venture to the far west side to dine but our friends from Middleton asked us to join them at Compadres. It was a Monday night so it was not too busy and the weather was great so we sat outside. We got a table in the shade of the overhang which was comfortably cool. We started with some Mexican beers and chips and salsa (the hot salsa was indeed hot). I had a combo of cheese, chorizo and pastor enchiladas with a green sauce and my wife got cheese and chicken enchiladas - all were very good. Our friend got different fajitas and enjoyed them a lot. The service was OK as were the prices. If you live on the west side you might want to check out this place.

Came on very busy Cinco de Mayo. There was live music and dancing - very fun. We stood by the bar and had a few drinks. Good service and good food. My only complaint is a few of our orders were incorrect but would return.

We came here on a Taco Tuesday as we heard these were some of the best tacos in town. We were greeted politely by staff, not super busy to plenty of tables to choose from. Although we were here for tacos, I couldn't help but get a tostada -- those are really more my jam to get that crunchiness. Al pastor tacos - seasoning on the meat was great, nice salsas and fresh cilantro and white onions - fresh, memorable, and delicious. Tostada ceviche - more muted in flavor, but nothing some hot sauce couldn't fix. Ceviche in itself it really wet with the fish and lemon juice, but it broke apart pretty quickly. I will try another tostada in the future - perhaps the chorizo!
