Nice surprise. Really comfortable feeling when I saw the interior. Even better when our server was quickly at our table to inquire as to drinks, returning shortly to take my order. I was the last one in our group of seven to arrive, probably twenty minutes or more, and the others seemed well taken care of. Decided on the Chicken Big Fajita Burrito. Would order again. Good salsa and chips. Hope I have an opportunity to be up this way again. read more

Usually everything I get from this restaurant is awesome. I have no complaints recently though. I got one of the chicken tacos or actually three of them and I wouldn't recommend that to anybody. They tasted great. They just don't stay together and were as greasy as John Travolta's hair in Grease. read more

Ordered steak fajitas. Charged $2 for shredded cheese. Total $25. Food came out with grey, tough meat and veggies that had zero seasoning, and they were dry like it was cooked without any cooking oil nothing. Zero flavor. They just put old meat and veggies in an empty hot pan. Very bizarre. Between the complete absence of flavor and the tough meat, i sent it back. Then they tried to charge me! It was very odd...and very disappointing. I was really looking forward to fajitas. The guacamole was delicious. So there is that. read more

Service and food were both excellent. Started with half price Cerveza and margarita. Hubby had pollo ranchero and I had chicken fajita quesadilla. Would order both again. Leaving stuffed. Enjoy read more

This was the perfect stop for lunch after visiting the Keystone Safari! They weren't very busy at lunchtime and were so accommodating of our group of 6 (with 3 little ones). The kids and adults all loved our meals. The portion sizes were large and everything was served piping hot and fresh! I highly recommend the quesadilla... one of the best I ever had! They had a great margarita, too! read more

The service was great, the food was hot, and the waiter was so sweet! Chips were fresh, fajitas were amazing!

Went there for lunch for two people. Ordered the Fajita and chili relleno and beef enchilada combination plates, along with a sweet tea, coke, and their sampler margarita's (4 small samples). The food was good, but coming from California a little sub par. The ambiance staff and service was pretty friendly though, and they bring a nice basket of chips and salsa when urge first seated. The reasons for the 4 stars were, price (after tip over $50.00). The chili relleno wasn't breaded at all (just grilled, thrown on a plate with some cheese and red sauce. (When I asked the server about it they said they don't bread the chili relleno's here), Then I asked if they had Menudo (a Mexican soup with tripe and hominy), they said they didn't. This is the second time I've been here, so I'll probably be back, and do recommend giving it a try. read more

Perplexed by Butler's excessive saturation of lackluster dining establishments, I was encouraged by what Compadres Mexican Restaurant offers on its menu. Prior to its existence, Compadres was formally my favorite Chinese restaurant, the Dynasty Buffet. I am disappointed by the interior design as it remains nearly unchanged from its Chinese days, but I salute the management for thinking like extreme cheapskates. I was once told that General Tso was impeached from there years ago, so some blokes from across the border overtook the location and turned it into what it is today. Interesting story, and the food there was fresher than my paper cut from this morning's tax returns. The server was on point too, and you can't miss out on the guac. Go for the chicken chimichangas when you stop by. read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant Butler - The guy behind me kept laughing for no reason. - Mexican Near Me - Butler, Pennsylvania

Let me start off by saying that the food was delicious. I had the chimichangas and enjoyed them very much. The service was a bit slow at the start but it picked up after our drink order. The prices were a bit too high, in my personal opinion. We came in at 12:45 and were disappointed to see that there was no lunch menu so we had to pay dinner prices. We had two small children with us and saw that the child's plates were $8.99. One thing I must mention is that this restaurant is literally right next door to a trampoline park. If they would develop a lunch menu and get their kid's prices reasonable, they would make a killing from the trampoline park crowd. As I stated at the beginning, the food was excellent; but I can get excellent food at much better prices. read more

Me and my husband go here often and we LOVE their food! We've never had a bad experience! Great, authentic food and drinks!!

The food is the best Mexican food I have had to date. The portions are extremely generous. The service is outstanding. Our food was served in less than 15 minutes from ordering. Wait staff are wonderful. Beer is cold and there is a good variety to choose from. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. IMHO I give them a gold and up I'll never go back to Emilianos or Reyes Teka! read more

Can I say, that my shrimp were deveined so nicely. What more can you ask for? Thank you for letting me enjoy my meal!! Keep up the high standards! read more

This was my first and last visit to this restaurant. Let's start with the positives. The place is very clean. The service was pretty good. The serving sizes were generous. Now for the negatives. There were too many special additions to the already lengthy menu. If you need more than one special insert you are making too many things. But the worst negative is the food is sooooo bland. It's like the chef never heard of seasoning. I know Mexican food isn't all hot and spicy but there should be flavor. A bit of pepper, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano, chili powder, or adobo the possibilities are endless but there seems to be none of that. The red sauce on my burrito tasted closer to watered down ketchup than a Mexican sauce. We actually got to go boxes and took the food home, added spices and reheated it to make it palatable. read more

Awesome food and people. The flavor of the food is so good. The chips and salsa are great.

Its a hit and miss with this place. Staff is friendly, but food is inconsistent. Sometimes its good others not so much

This was probably the best Mexican food I've had around here. I enjoyed my burrito mojado and wife enjoyed her enchiladas. We've been hunting some good Mexican food for sometime now and this is the best we've found. We will definitely be back great service too. read more

We had a great lunch. I ask for hot salsa and they provided it. My wife had the beef enchiladas and I had carne asada. Both were delicious.

My visit today was perfect. I had a burrito lunch special. After taking my order, the waiter brought chips and salsa. Although the salsa was a bit spicy for my liking, I only had time to eat two chips before my lunch arrived. The plate was colorful and hot. (I kid you not, my lunch order took less than five minutes). My only complaint was that they had Mr. Pibb instead of Dr. Pepper. The waiter was friendly and attentive. read more

So.... I'm still feeling the pain from this food. My toilet has become my best friend over night. Besides my stomach issues from this restaurant.. the service was super long. Think they prepared my food in Mexico and brought it in on horseback. Food was pretty bland. Also waiter tried to card me for root beer? Rough meal.. read more

First restaurant we tried after this covid mess. We were a bit skeptical as it's attached to the dead mall and we've heard nothing about it. When we walked in it wasn't very busy. We were greeted and seated right away. Chips and salsa were brought over. ( they were delicious!) Everything we ordered came out fast, hot, and sooo yummy! The service was great as well. This is now one of my favorites. read more

Whenever I have a positive experience at a restaurant I always say "I'm gonna Yelp the heck out of this place". I honestly wish that were the case here. Save your money! Go to Chipotle! The chips were fresh and salsa had a decent flavor; everything else was "meh" at best. My husband had Pollo con Crema. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be more than chicken and hot sour cream. The refried beans were terrible. No flavor. They tasted like somebody boiled beans and then smooshed them onto the plate. The Barilla taco meat was OK but the tortillas tasted like they had been dipped yesterday and kept in a warmer until they were needed. Seriously. How could the plate for my daughter's OG Special be as hot as the Sun but the food still be mushy and old? Maybe it was kept on the Sun? Server was polite; just a little absent. read more

I stopped in for dinner last night. Appetizers were SUPPOSED to be half off until 6:00. I was there before 6 and was charged full price. I wouldn't have minded so much, but for $14, I expected more than one chimichangs cut up into 4 pieces, a bland cheese quesidilla, and four mozzarella sticks. I had the combo meal. The chile releno was delicious, as was the taco. The rice and beans... meh. Service was terrible. I'll stick with Rey Azetca for Mexican food. read more

We went during happy and I had a great strawberry margarita. Appetizers were half off so I got the chili rolls which were very good. The queso dip and salsa were also good. My daughter had the quesadilla and loved it. I would definitely go back read more

Recently ordered takeout. Walked in to pick up my food and was immediately hit in the face with what smelled like raw sewage. Did a quick 360 and left. Will never eat there again. read more

Great and delicious Mexican food and value for the price. I am surprised that folks don't eat here more often, it may be due to the decline of the Clearview Mall but don't let that deter you. They have a great venue and the bar would look like it could host some good after work drinks with coworkers. Taco Tuesdays is a great deal although I did not do the deal, my coworkers did. I ordered off the menu and it was great. read more

I've eaten here multiple times, and each time my food has been fantastic and has come out fast. Prices are decent. Their margaritas are amazing! Expensive- but worth it! Service is always on point. Anytime we need something, it always gets taken care of like we are the only table in the restaurant. read more

Lunch time fun with my BFF. If you haven't noticed I love love love Mexican food so when this chain opened up we had to stop in to try it. Our waiter was friendly and took our drink orders. I wanted the chimichanga but the menu only has it in beef. The waiter said it wouldn't be a problem to have them make it in chicken. They have a large menu with some good lunchtime deals. Our food came out pretty quick. My chimichanga was good spicy which may be a problem for some. Overall this place was average. read more

First off, the waiter we had seemed to hate his life as he took our order. I can't blame him as the establishment itself seemed like it was lifeless and stagnant as hell. He took our order and even though I ordered a margarita and specified on the rocks, it was brought to me frozen. I shrugged it off blaming a bad day for our waiter. Whatever. The chips and salsa were flavorless which should've told us to leave as the rest of our food was bland. My husband got the taco salad with a side of fries,and as much as he likes food, he struggled with a grimace to eat it. I can't comprehend how it was called a taco salad as there was no taco spice at all. It was flavorless ground beef surrounded with lettuce, shredded cheese, and some sour cream in a bowl that could've had potential in a former life to taste like a taco shell. The fries were basically used old cooking oil flavored deep fried mashed potato twigs being as they were hard and burned on the outside, and mushy and cold on the inside. My chicken quesadillas were anything but. The chicken was fatty and gritty with very little cheese inside. No flavor at all. The tortilla wraps were crusty and brittle. They did come with Spanish rice and refried beans which were as tasteless as eating glue. Our waiter returned asking if we wanted dessert to which we denied as we no longer felt the need to spend money on flavorless food. Next time we will go to Taco Bell, as sadly, even as commercial as they are, tastes a lot better and costs a lot less. read more

My fiance and I stopped in at 8:30 on a Sunday evening. Despite the fact that it was almost closing time, they made us feel very welcome and did not rush us. We felt bad so kept our order simple. Fajitas for 2 and 2 margaritas. We were given chips and salsa right away which were good, not too spicy. We were surprised how quickly the food arrived and how much. We each got our own plate with beans, rice abd fajita toppings. We barely put a dent in it. The margaritas were not great, just tasted like the pre-mixed stuff. I didn't see the guy make them so I'm not sure if there was even any booze in them. All in all, very friendly and fast service, good value for your money! We will definitely return! read more

Shorted me again on a takeout order. Second time. Shame on me. The Covid excuse no longer works guys. Do it right or close.

We had excellent meals, both chicken. Great spice and flavor. Excellent service. My margarita was made with a mix, I will read better next time. Will return for sure! read more

Holy portion size Batman. Very good food as well come hungry and leave very full. Would highly recommend. Im going into a food coma now adios. read more

We went on a Sunday night and were seated right away. Our server was sort of polite but they charge $2.99 for soft drinks and I was never asked if I'd like a refill. My husband and I got the quesadillas. They were pretty good and the refried beans were strangely delicious (I'm usually not a fan). We wanted to hang out for a bit and I was debating ordering a margarita but we were given our checks directly after she cleared our plates and proceeded to sit at the bar with her coworkers. So we left margarita-less. read more

Had to stop somewhere to eat on a trip. Pretty little waterfall in the entrance. The atmosphere inside is nice and the service was excellent. We were starving but the food fell short. The salsa was flavorful and we all really enjoyed that. Their guacamole was alright as well. We ordered the compadres sampler appetizer to share with everyone. The jalepeno poppers were slightly burnt which made them hard to enjoy. The flavor seemed to taste alright but I couldn't tell over the char. The one my friend bit into had nothing inside. I ordered the enchiladas de mar to share (it comes with 6) When the food arrived the dish had some sort of odd smell (and I'm not talking seafood) I honestly wasn't going to try it at all but curiosity got the best of me. It turned out to be whatever red sauce was on top. The dish has three different sauces. The green one was amazing and the enchilada covered with that tasted good. The other half in the red was gross. We ended up scraping it off. The sauce down the middle seems to be a cheese sauce. Ultimately I decided to just give up on eating the dish. The rice that came with the meal was bland. Seems like a good place to grab drinks. My friend loved his margarita but said his chimichanga was mediocre. Our waitress was amazing and provided great service. The three stars are for her, the pleasant atmosphere and the salsa. It could have been the day we went or items we ordered.. things happen. read more

Stopped here on a Monday night, the Butler restuarant was kinda quiet. Had their special for the night, free appetizer or dessert and had some pretty good guacamole. The food was fast, very tasty and service was great. If you like good Mexican, visit this place and bring your appetite. read more

Consistently get great service and great food at affordable prices. I always leave with a to go bag, because the portions are huge. Best Mexican restaurant in butler, in my opinion. Compadres also catered a party for me and were a joy to deal with and the food was delicious. Highly recommended. read more

The food is good and alcohol is served. They have done a nice job of converting the old Chinese buffet into a Mexican restaurant. The place is newly opened and the service was quick considering that the restaurant was full. Probably would have given 5 stars, but was overcharged a couple bucks on the bill and chose not to complain because of how busy they were. read more

I've eaten here around 5 times and kind of like it. I'm not a fan of the tacos, but I do like the steak quesadilla. The one waiter is extremely slow. It's as if he gets lost or goes on break during service. Some of the staff seem cranky or annoyed so I'm apprehensive about ordering or asking about items when I don't know what they are. So I've not tried more than the tacos and quesadillas. read more
