    I've been going to Carniceria Los Compadres for years. I originally started going to the Lynwood location and continued going to the Downey location after I moved. I've always been happy with the quality and service, which is why today's experience was disappointing. I ordered tasajo today, but what I received looked more like thin-cut strips of ranchera, and to make matters worse, the pieces were very small. In all the years I've been coming here, I've never had an experience like this. Honestly, it felt like I was given whatever pieces of meat were left over rather than what I actually ordered. I hope this was just a one-time issue because I've always considered Los Compadres one of my go-to carnicerias. I'm hoping they can do better and maintain the quality that has kept me coming back for so many years.

    Love this place always recommend it. Ima give them 5 stars just cause I love the customer service the meats are high quality and tender. But today they did me kinda dirty I got 8 lbs of preparada and my first few top pieces of meat perfect then bam around 6-7 lbs of straight fat. Meat came out chewy not tender everyone at my get together thought the same. Hopefully next time it isn't like that . When I mean chunks of fat I mean big pieces like the photo it resulted on my meat being really charred from the fat burning. Idk if it was just to make weight but man kinda disappointed. Still gonna give them another chance tho! Again, great place great meat selection great customer service that's why the five stars.

    Carnicería Los Compadres just keeps on proving to me that it's simply the BEST, time and time again! There's other good ones out there in the La area but no one does it like them. The perfection of their cuts and marinade doesn't compare, they do it best. The meat literally falls apart when your invitees try to get some from the pot. El Compa Freddie always shows me love and gives me that top quality service. He remembers our previous conversations and that's always appreciated. My kids don't let me buy meat from other places, and I don't care too either. Carniceria Los Compadres is the Best!

    Best meat! Clean storefront, fair pricing and friendly service!! We typically get the ranchera preparada, mango habanero pork belly & the chicharrones. There's also all of the sides conveniently available; flour tortillas Sonora style, salsas preparadas, guacamole, michelada cups. Everything is top tier quality & all conventionally found in one location. What more can you ask for from a carnicería? Stop by and try it out!!

    I love this market! That wings I bought were preseasoned mango habanero and they were delicious. Just so you know they are not pre-cooked. I cooked them! I also bought chipotle chicken and preseasoned chicken fajitas. I can't wait to try the other chicken, but this was delicious!

    Local meat market today I've tried their taco special 4 tacos and a can soda $10.99. Had birria, asada and two chicken tacos. All tasted great good flavor I trying to eat healthy lol. The chicken has excellent flavor. I've have ordered the marinade chicken that they sell very tasty. The chef was very friendly. Good food great price ps the Green salsa has some kick.

My own parents lived around the corner for 30 years before recently moving. My dad and I always used to race here to get our weekend dinner supplies. All in all, this is a great shop. Personable people (family owned for sure), affordable prices, GREAT quality food, clean and full of history. I've even heard from other people who grew up in the area all the way at my work in LA county who rave about that store. My folks may have moved to another state and my father in law is no longer with us, but I for one will keep getting my best meats at this butcher's shop!

    I've been going to Brees' on and off for over a decade. I'm honestly surprised I hadn't 5 stars…read morethem sooner. All sandwiches are $12-15 depending on what you order. I got the $15 Italian with everything and it was loaded with fresh veggies, Boar's Head meats and cheese, mayo, mustard, etc. Previously I've gotten sliced meat by the pound as well. Staff is helpful and if you aren't sure what cut you want to buy on the raw meats...just ask! The customer behind me said his Dad wanted pork chops to smoke on the Traeger. They helped him pick the right cut & optional if you want it seasoned or as is. There's a few potatoes, onions, and seasoning in the shelves. A great one stop shop option! (The Char crust brand is great.)
