Been eating here for years and have always had a good experience until today. My boys love chips so we go through a few baskets. Unfortunately, our last basket had an old receipt with stale chips in them.... To add insult to injury the manager Mario didn't apologize and instead acted as if we were lying. Really? In my opinion his actions led me to believe that this has happened before.
The food here is good. Great atmosphere with music through the whorls place. The chips and also are made fresh. The service however was not good. The waiters were more interested in talking to the their friends instead of beig a waiter.
Flaming margarita is a neat drink here, and I've also tried a handful of dishes that have been really tasty. The crowd is lively on evenings and weekends.
Be careful if you're a large party – My family has been dining here for the past three years. We've always enjoyed the retro environment, the service, the live band and the food. Tonight we were a party of 14. My father and I decided to split the bill. After providing the waiter with our two credit cards, he came back with two bills, but not the original bill. When we asked if he had added anything to the tip, his response was "sometimes the restaurant adds 10%, sometimes we don't." This didn't sound quite right, so we asked... read more
Amazing Mexican Food! – There are a lot of Mexican food spots in Los Angeles, not all of them are very good. El Compadre is one of the best. Great service, fantastic traditional dishes, chips and salsa done right (one of the best parts of eating at a Mexican food restaurants - they do it well!), also great drinks/bar! Cant go wrong with their flaming margarita. If you're thinking Mexican food in the Hollywood area, this is your spot.
love, love, love, love, love The food is so good that I can't wait to go back time & time again. I go there at least twice a week they're always packed... the double margarita the best ever in LA. They are so nice and the waiters are always very attentive in everything. Love it!
Fresh, Delicious Mexican Food – I was with a party of eight. The service was great, and I really loved the food. The margaritas (on the rocks) the best I have ever had, stronger than I usually like, but so flavorful I could still drink them. I had a chicken tostada salad. The chicken was lean, the lettuce was fresh and crips, the guacamole was fresh, and the sour cream was very fresh. I think they have the best salsa I've ever had. I wasn't crazy about the tortilla chips, a little greasy, but overall, this was a very good re... read more
Citysearch Editorial Review – Maybe it's the kitschy-gothic Mexican hacienda decor (think moody red light and wrought iron lanterns and chandeliers) or maybe it's the flaming margaritas. Whatever it is, this Eastside favorite packs an eclectic crowd, from neighborhood families on weekdays to Echo Park hipsters partying down on the weekends. A live Mexican music trio keeps the festive vibe going for birthdays and celebrations, but you might want to watch out for a little mayhem after Dodgers games. The shiny long wood bar is ... read more
BAD BAD – My friends asked me to join them for Mexican food and we ended up at the EL COMPADRE. When we arrived I was not comfortable with the atmosphere. The bar is to close to the. The dining area the people at the bar drinking were to loud Swearing and getting crazy, these suppose to be a family restaurant but the atmosphere is geared more towards adults.this restaurant attracts the bad elements of the surrounding area This place is no El Torito, the food is of second rate, the food is too dried, and in fact we all got a ... read more
