Taco Tuesday did not disappoint! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was inviting, the music was great[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and Luis S. and the rest of the team provided terrific service. The tacos were really good, especially the pork belly, followed by the asada and fish tacos. My husband enjoyed the birria tacos as well. We also tried the watermelon and mango margaritas, the watermelon was the better one to me and the guacamole and chips were a great appetizer. At $2.50 per taco and $5 margaritas, the value is hard to beat. The vibes were great, the food and drinks were solid, and this will definitely be my new go to spot.

TACO FLIGHT
Maridy M.

I reallyyyyyyy was looking forward to this place because of all of the great reviews. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We made reservations and realized it was going to be crowded because of Cinco de Mayo and Happy Hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is smaller than I thought but it was fun and festive almost like a club, with a dj and everything.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our experience started off good, our waiter was nice and we requested to wait for happy hour and he was kind about it. But after a lot more people got seated around us, we were completely ignored. The bigger parties got serviced faster, received their drinks and foods A LOT FASTER. My bf and I ordered nachos and two taco flights yet our server heard one taco flight. So we shared one taco flight while waiting for the other to be delivered. Never arrived. We ordered another round of drinks...again never received them. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in the middle and I felt like the outer tables were seen and the inside tables were totally invisible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Another pair next to us experienced the same thing because they looked just as irritated as us. We could've saved time and just went to another Mexican restaurant with better service and better food. The taco flight was basic. Needless to say, wont be visiting again nor recommending.

Guac and chips appetizer

I did a quick searchi on Yelp for food in the area while on a trip and this place looked intriguing. Decided to give it a try and it was not a disappointment! Cool vibes with music playing and welcoming staff. They have a bar, high top tables, and larger tables for groups; there is a patio out front as well. The food was SO good. Guacamole and chips for the table, which came with two salsas. The green sauce was so good! The red sauce was good as well but definitely didn't gravitate towards it as much. Tacos are a la carte, which was convenient so I could try different options. Battered fish, cryspy shrimp, and "camaron enchilado" were my choices. Of the three, the enchilado was my favorite. I got a mango michelada for my beverage and was pleasantly surprised at the size of it for the price. I was expecting a pint glass but this was quite large.

Absolutely delicious! Everything was exquisite, customer service was great as well, waited a little bit to be seated but the food made up for it, prices are great, definitely a hidden gem! It's so worthy of trying! Just thinking about it makes my mouth watery!

Excellent service from start to finish! Manager Ricardo was incredibly kind and made a point to check in on us throughout our visit. Our bartender, Oldin, was just as impressive--attentive, quick, and truly skilled at his craft. Even though I usually prefer Añejo tequilas, he introduced me to a couple of Blanco options that were surprisingly smooth and enjoyable. We ordered the bone marrow tacos, and they were absolutely delicious. The food came out incredibly fast, and the overall speed and quality of service really stood out. The ambiance was also great--not too busy for Easter Sunday, which made the experience even more enjoyable, and the music was on point. I was genuinely impressed and will definitely be returning to Compadres Cantina.

chicken enchiladas were good but would not come back because of the bad experience.. i can get enchiladas elsewhere
Clare R.

One star for the chicken enchiladas I had... other than that, the experience here was revolting. I will say, I came here about 2 years ago expecting the same vibe because it was amazing that last time. You would think this place would keep up the good ambiance they had, but that was not the case. It was enough for me, and everyone else in my party to know that we would not want to come back here. Considering that we came here for my best friend's birthday, and we had a big party, you would think they would be welcoming and accommodating. We made reservations, which we didn't have to, because for a Saturday night, it was empty. The girl at the front was not welcoming at all, and our server was so rude and disrespectful. She did not come in to check up on us when we were missing a couple items (mind you, the restaurant was not even filled, so we did not understand why she was not stopping by) and she even brought an extra drink to our table then realized it was for another party (but charged it on our bill). While we were here for a celebration, the server honestly ruined the mood. When we received the bill, we asked her to remove the extra margarita that she charged on our bill. She did not come by to clear our table at all, so we had proof of all of the drinks we had on our table and counted each of them that reflected on the bill. She was making a big deal out of it and seemed to not want to remove it. We asked if there was a manager to speak to, and she said no. We had to talk to three other servers who worked there, so they could understand where we were coming from. She was making it seem like we did not want to tip, which we definitely would because we're a big party and that's just common courtesy, but she was pressing on that issue when it was clearly us wanting to remove the margarita from the bill. Finally, the last guy who came to speak to us stated that, "Well, we have to redo the entire bill again just to remove it." Like? So they made a huge deal out of removing a margarita because they were too lazy to do it again... We literally explained to him that they were all giving us a hard time because they decided that they did not want to redo the bill? That's insane. Eventually, he said he will do it, but it was ridiculous that they went through lengths for us to just get one margarita off the bill... Clearly, I will not be returning along with everyone else who attended the dinner. The chicken enchiladas were good but not enough for me to return to an overly priced restaurant with horrible service where you feel neglected, the servers are rude, and drinks are not the best. There are better Mexican restaurants out here, avoid this place. Seriously.

Chicken Taquitos
Marshay D.

Been wanting to try this place forever and I finally tried it this past Monday on Labor Day with my friend and we had a very good time and everything was five stars all around. It's nice inside I love the decor. It's so vibrant and colorful and definitely a good vibe to have fun and a good happy hour joint for sure on Mondays. They have good margaritas specials for six dollars and they have a happy hour from 3 to 6 PM Monday through Thursday I believe. The service is very exceptional and they check on you the whole entire time and ask if you need anything and if you're OK. We started off with the guacamole and chips which was a five out of five and very delicious. Front the happy hour menu I got the four tacos chicken that was very good and moist, and the chicken taquitos which was bomb. For my drink order, I got the lemon drop, sangria, and I tried a mango margarita that I didn't finish only because it was a little bit too sweet but overall, it was very good. All drinks were five out of five. I wanted to try a few drinks so I can just know since it was my first time. I will come back here and I will come to enjoy happy hour again and the regular menu because it has so much to choose from, and I like because they also have rolls, which they look very good that I would try next time.

Old fashioned
Stevin F.

This is a hidden gem, I've only come during lunch and it hasn't been that busy. The server says it gets busy on the weekends and later in the day. So far I've tried the chilaquiles burrito and a carne asada burrito wet. My wife has gotten the taco trio. Both my burrito's were bursting with flavor and their hot sauces and amazing. Super nice seating and great music playing. Servers have been super helpful and attentive. Can't wait till my next visit.

Rib eye chilaquiles

$2.50 Taco Tuesday & churro ice cream with some friends. Our second time here and this visit was no exception. Laura our waiter was attentive and friendly. She frequently stop by to refill our water and clear our dirty dishes.. Recommend their pork belly taco and wings sauce Thai appetizer as starters ..

Food and drinks are very good, party atmosphere ALL THE TIME. Super loud, good place for drinks and birthday, but not for casual dining.

Came once, drinks are good but food isn't worth the money. Honestly, Taco Bell's tacos are more appetizing. Come to drink, NOT to eat.

While in the area, I was interested to try the pupusas here as I saw great reviews. I ordered 6…read morebean and cheese pupusas to go and they came with salsa rojo and curtido. Firstly, compared to the pupusas I usually get from a different restaurant closer to my home, the service was not the best. They took a long time to make our order. We waited for about 35 minutes and it was hot in there with no AC. Their music was blasting too and there was flies buzzing around. Immediately regretted ordering here during those moments. Secondly, my husband and I ate the pupusas at home and wanted to spit it out. I'm not sure what kind of cheese they use if it's maybe more authentic than what I am used to but it was pungent and so strong. It made it completely inedible for us and my husband who is Hispanic said it's not a cheese he's familiar with. The curtido and salsa could not redeem the pupusas for us so had to throw them out.

I visited this restaurant last week and the service is not very good especially over the phone…read more They are overpriced and check your food because they will short you off you don't. That happened to me and they don't offer a refund to your original payment. They tell you to come pick it up with no compensation. Although I was missing food. The pupusas i got were decent and not greasy. I do not recommend pastelitos there, very greasy and filling is lacking... they were not good.

I recently visited Kalaveras on Thursday, June 18th, to catch the Mexico vs. Korea game. The…read moreatmosphere was electric from the start, with all the TVs tuned in to the game. Our hostess was kind and checked in on my reservation. The food was a mixed bag - the house sauce was a bit bland, but the habanero sauce was delicious, with just the right balance of tanginess and heat. My friend ordered a plate of nachos for the table, which came with chicken that, oddly, didn't taste like chicken. It was almost as if it had been cooked in the same area as the fish, but it was still edible. Our server, Priscilla, was very attentive, checking in frequently and keeping the good beers flowing, even on a busy game night. The carnitas were good, but we'll try something else next time. The atmosphere was great, and Mexico's win was a bonus - we might be back to catch another game.

The way it was going to be prepared was with spring mix, which I don't prefer. I asked for a spicy skinny margarita, and they were able to accommodate me for that as well! Yummy! The reason for the four stars is because the parking lot is extremely dark and sketchy looking. Unfortunately, I don't feel safe outside there. I feel like it could easily be fixed with an investment in better lighting outdoors.
