    TACO FLIGHT
    Maridy M.

    I reallyyyyyyy was looking forward to this place because of all of the great reviews. We made reservations and realized it was going to be crowded because of Cinco de Mayo and Happy Hour. The place is smaller than I thought but it was fun and festive almost like a club, with a dj and everything. 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. We were seated in the middle and I felt like the outer tables were seen and the inside tables were totally invisible. 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.

    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.

    Guac and chips appetizer
    Kristina H.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great food

    Great food ordered the poke nachos, compadres roll and crunch roll ! Must try if in Ontario area!

    $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 ..

    Enchiladas de pollo
    Jacqueline C.

    Enchiladas de pollo son un clásico que nunca decepciona. En esta ocasión, me encontré con un plato que resalta tanto en sabor como en presentación. Las enchiladas están rellenas de pollo desmenuzado, jugoso y sazonado a la perfección, lo que aporta un sabor profundo y reconfortante. La salsa, un punto clave en cualquier enchilada, era una mezcla equilibrada de chiles rojos que aportaban un leve picante y una dulzura sutil. Al servirlas, la salsa cubría generosamente cada enchilada, añadiendo una riqueza que se complementaba maravillosamente con el queso derretido que gratinaba por encima. La guarnición de crema agria y cebolla morada en rodajas finas le daba un contraste fresco y cremoso, mientras que el arroz y los frijoles que acompañaban el plato completaban la experiencia, ofreciendo una textura adicional y un sabor que balanceaba la intensidad de las enchiladas. Sin duda, estas enchiladas de pollo son una opción imperdible para los amantes de la cocina mexicana, perfectas tanto para una comida familiar como para compartir con amigos. ¡Altamente recomendadas!

The only negative thing I can say about their new place is the service. The service was great but they interrupted our meal several times and I felt like we couldn't take a breath to enjoy the food. The server kept asking if we were ok but we barely got our food and we were asked several times while trying to enjoy it. Also the photographer just coming up to use while we ate. We literally took pics with food in our mouths. Everything seemed so rushed. With all the times we were asked if we were okay or needed anything no server came with a pitcher of water to refill our cups. None of them asked about our drinks either. I will be back but maybe in the day time and not the evening time. ( to see if it will be different) the owner or manager needs to tell staff to kind of chill on asking people if they are ok especially when we barely got our food and interrupted several times during the meal. Let people eat and enjoy it for a little bit before being asked like every 5 mins lol

The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat.
