My experience here was fantastic. I gorged myself so hard and so fast I was at risk of becoming a permanent resident. I wasn't even that hungry going in but it was meal time and I might as well stuff some food in. Well, the food was so good I couldn't stop eating. The ingredients were very fresh all around and the presentation of the food was above and beyond my expectation. The staff was nice and the service was quick, too. I was so packed by the end of the meal I nearly needed a cold shower to reorient myself for the rest of the day. Will be making this a regular thing.

I want to start off by stating that I by no means am high maintenance when it comes to dining or anything for that matter. I absolutely love food and I've eaten the finest of foods as well as foods at rinky dink hole in the wall establishments. I'm laid back and simple and it doesn't take much to please my belly.
I was in the mood for Mexican flair and had seen on Facebook that someone I knew had just visited Los Compadres and her food posts looked great therefore I decided to give them a try. Upon walking in, the smell of grease was very overwhelming. I will say, even when having dined in a restaurant where the kitchen area is meant to be displayed to its customers, I've never experienced such a strong smell of grease in a restaurant before. My clothing and hair smelled of grease for the rest of the day. The owners/management should work on the interior structure whether it be a wall or door which would allow for a divide between the restaurant and the kitchen.
We were served complimentary chips and salsa which were great. The arrangement of 3 salsas consisted of a red, a green and a fresh pico. Also provided were fresh lime wedges.
While we looked over the menu we started out with a Margarita, a simple house Margarita. Our drinks came in a decent amount of time with the rim coated in Tajin. The Margarita was made with an awful premix, not a fresh from scratch made Margarita, but a premix.
I ordered the Chile Rellenos dinner with a steak taco on the side. My fiancé ordered steak tacos along with one cheese enchilada and one beef enchilada both in red sauce, all a la carte.
Our food came in a reasonable amount of time. The tacos were great. They had a decent amount of flavored steak on them and the onion and cilantro was fresh and tasty. The other items were another story. My fiancés enchiladas were dry and barely had any sauce on them. Each of our dishes came with the typical charred whole jalapeno as well as charred long green onion. These items were drenched and coated in some sort of orange/yellow salt mixture. It was not Tajin (which is what came on our Maragarita rim). I have no clue what it was and I've never seen this before but it made eating these items impossible. You could take a fork and scrape off this substance and it was just caked on the fork. My Chile Relleno looked tasty. I cut into it and the cheese stretched and looked so good. I took one bite and was close to spitting it out. The egg batter mixture that these poblanos were dredged in prior to frying was just as salty as the jalapenos and green onion. It honestly tasted like someone accidentally spilled an entire container of salt into the batter. The red sauce was not your traditional sauce. It had a very strong chipotle taste. For those that do not like chipotles, they would not have enjoyed this dish. I myself love chipotles although the flavor was overwhelming and not traditional for a Chile Relleno sauce.
The amount of salt in these food items made them impossible to eat. This was not someone accidentally over salting by just a tad. This was an enormous amount of salt, an unbelievable amount, so much so that it could be scraped off of the vegetable items but obviously not out of the batter for the poblanos.
I love trying new places as well as supporting small business owners but, I will not be back. First impressions are everything and I am willing to give places a second try although there were too many things going on here that won't have me returning. -

I would had gave this a 5 star but the waitress never asked me for a refilled or if everything was good. It's was a good place to eat, they give you chips and salsa, and soup. I ordered a al pastor torta dinner, the rice and beans were good, the torta was good but half of it was soggy, the meat was good and food overall good just wished the waitress was a little more friendly.
