I had dinner with a friend in Dayton the other night. He was craving Mexican and since there isn't a good sushi spot here, we decided to come to Los Compadres. I've been to the other Mexican restaurants in town. There aren't too many dining options here without having to head into Carson, but options are decent. (Iykyk). We walked in and it was fairly busy. There were only two tables open and one for two off to the side near a window where we were seated promptly. The same girl that seated us offered drinks, chips and salsa. We were starving and snacking on the chips and salsa while looking over their menu. We decided that we were both hungry enough to order their super sampler to share as an appetizer. I ordered their empanada and chile relleno and my friend and my friend ordered a dos plato. Our food was served hot. We enjoyed our dinner and left with plenty of leftovers. I'd come back. The service here is phenomenal! read more

The restaurant was clean and organized. There is music playing softly in the background. The staff is friendly and attentive. To start the meal I had the bean dip. The bean dip was flavorful and complex in flavors. To drink, I did the strawberry margaritas. These were well balanced and refreshing. To eat, I had 2 ground beef tacos and a fish taco. The ground beef tacos were good but slightly dry and could have used a bit more seasoning. The fish taco was good but slightly spicy with them using a different sauce on top. I look forward to my next meal at Compadres. read more

Charming casita transformed to family restaurant ambience. Inside and patio dining. Service is neighborhood friendly and efficient. The minute you step in you're hit with wafts of delicious foods. Home style pinto beans rice and various sauces filled the air. The sangria is delicious and refreshing. The guacamole and table salsa sabroso with chips. Generous portion lunch specials carne asada tacos fully dressed and chile verde chile relleno were exceptional beans and rice also tasted of years of experience. A delicious destination in the Wild West read more

We had our wedding reception at Compadres outside on the patio. The weather, view, and food were all amazing. It couldn't have been better.

We were there Saturday (3-21) with 23 of our Corvette club members. Compadres knew we were coming and did an excellent job taking care of us. Small place, good meals and very good service. read more

Food can improve! I ordered steak ole, big mistake, enchilada was not good! I can't even explain it. Also ordered fish tacos, very bland flavor. The Spanish rice was dry, I didn't finish my plate. This place ranked #2 in Dayton I have no clue why. read more

This cute little Mexican restaurant is tucked away on historic Pike Street in Dayton. The front entrance was so inviting with a small courtyard and flowers at the entrance. When we walked in it was such a cozy atmosphere and we were greeted with a friendly welcome from the hostess. The service was quick and the food was hearty. Chips and salsa were complimentary. We ordered fish tacos and the chile relleno and empanada plates both served alongside beans and rice. The food was delicious and satisfying. There's ample parking on Logan Alley and along Pike Street. There's even an outdoor patio with seating in the back. read more

This hidden gem is a place I will NOT forget! It's always the small, hole in the wall places that have THE BEST food. Service was awesome but the food! Omg we had a chilli rellano, Carne asada tacos and a tamale on the side. Get.the. Tamales! Or the rellanos. The house made green sauce on the delicious pork rellano was to die for, but then my friend made me try the tamale and I think I died and went to tamale heaven. I will drive all the way from reno for sure! read more

Mistress Ava King did serve us most diligently, with a swiftness and care most rare to behold. She did replenish our cups without delay whensoever they were emptied, as though she foresaw our need ere we spake it. Her service was of the highest order, ever courteous, and her countenance adorned with a gracious smile. Naught was wanting, for she attended each matter with haste and precision, leaving no guest in neglect. Verily, such devotion to her charge is seldom seen, and her labor deserveth the highest commendation. By my troth, her service meriteth ten of ten, yea, and more beyond measure. read more

Another hidden jewel off the beaten path in Dayton, Nevada. Quite simply, good, authentic mexican food served hot and ready!

0 Stars for Service 0 Stars for food 0 Stars total My family tried this restaurant for the first time tonight. We were hoping for some good Mexican food. First, online menu is not up to date compared to the in store menu. Prices are drastically different and very over priced. Food is average at best. "Authentic mexican"?? Carajo. mierda! Second, service is horrible. I ordered $91 worth of food and they messed up my order. I drove back from Stagecoach to Dayton and I asked for them to show me where the Chile Relleno (a stuffed pepper) was mashed into a enchilada. As the waitress tears apart the meal to show me the tiniest stuffed pepper, another waitress cracks a smile and sarcastically says "So we'll see you again?" So unnecessary considered I was overcharged on the sloppiest average food ever. read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Poor excuse for quesadilla. $15 for a chicken quesadilla. - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

I ordered two carne asada tacos with rice and beans and it was $18. The tacos were good. The rice and beans seriously lacked flavor. Overall it was good and I'll be back in a pinch but I think they are crazy over priced for what you get. read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Carne asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

Where to start? Poor customer service? Check. Crappy food? Check. Posted menu not even close to actual price? CHECK!! $18 for a wet burrito with some Carne in it. That's a "super burrito" . Menu price showed $14.50 charged $18 in store. No flavor. Asked for NO ONIONS, we have an allergy. On a cheese enchilada? Shouldn't be an issue. Oh, but we got a shredded beef enchilada. TWICE. After we went back and said this is wrong, 15 minute drive, they made the enchilada wrong again. It's for a kid who doesn't eat meat. Sorry we ordered cheese and you can't accommodate. We also ordered a Chile relleno....they shoved it under the enchilada and it's so small, you can't even tell. Ordered a la carte no beans no rice....twice they got that wrong. Cheese quesadilla? Online $8.25 what we were charged? $9.60 Chicken quesadilla? Online $11.25 what we were charged? $15 POST YOUR PRICES CORRECTLY!! You charged $6 for a to go order that we picked up AND came back again to get it fixed!!! It's so nice that in a small town where we don't have options, the one option we have is over priced, rude and tasteless. Next time, I'll go to Reno. You were rude on the phone and rude in person when we went back in. Never again. read more

I love restaurants that were once homes. This place was such a nice surprise! The decor is quaint and the food is fabulous. We ordered a half pitcher of the regular house margaritas that were perfect on a warm afternoon. The staff are welcoming, friendly, and efficient. We will definitely be back next time we are in town and will sit in the cute outdoor terrace! read more

My family and I came here during Dayton Valley Days and it was super crowded. We had made a reservation and our table was ready for us upon arrival. Service was a little slow; it was a full house with only two servers. Three of us ordered Cadillac margaritas and they were STRONG. Too strong in my opinion, which made it hard to enjoy. I ordered the chili Colorado and while it was absolutely delicious, it was not traditional chili Colorado (see photo). That was kind of disappointing and something to be aware of. Overall, would have again. read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Chili Colorado - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

Food was very good. Tasty steak, beans and rice. I had low expectations but as a Southern California who migrated to North NV, this might be some of the best Mexican food I've had up here thus far. Just one fatal flaw - no Mexican beverage staples: horchata, tamarindo or Jamaica. Please consider adding these to the menu and this place will be a no brainer recommendation! read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Steak, enchilada, rice, beans, sour cream and Jalapeño - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

Good food. One of few places in Dayton NV to eat without going into a Casino. Friendly wait staff.

They are the Best! Everytime I come to Dayton this is my 1st stop for dinner. The service is wonderful! And what can I say about the food. The beans homemade and the tacos are the best. Sangria I love. Not enough words. Thank you read more

Food was good , service was great , small but cozy small town feel inside and their house margarita is delicious !

Food is fantastic . Service is great. Ambiance is very nice. We go there as often as we can.

Update: We've returned twice since my initial review and I can say unequivocally that this has become my family's favorite Mexican restaurant! I added the 5th star from my initial 4 star review because it's that good and our waitress Laura, whom we've had the past two times is fantastic. She's very friendly and even past the mask she has a smile. She's on top of everything....drinks, food, chips, service, all in all she makes you feel like your at a friends house for dinner. I can't begin to tell you how amazing the Carne Asada is. This past two times we've gone Ive ordered the Tres Plato with Carne Asada Enchilada, Chili Rellano, Carne Asada Taco and this time, the third time, I ordered the Tamale and OMG are they all fantastic. Best tamale I've had. I typically don't get them because their saliva-sucking-dry but in "taking one for the yelp review" I ordered it and I was pleasantly surprised and would order again and again. The pork was fantastic, very flavorful. The Mesa wasn't dry in the least and the addition of red sauce on top was perfect. The Chili Rellano was perfecto. (To me, if you can't get two things right in a Mexican restaurant then you then ya might want to think of something else.....those two things are the Rellano and yep, the retried beans) the Rellano is perfectly breaded..not too much egg coating at all; the pepper is delicious and very satisfying to the tastebuds, the amount of cheese is perfect and the sauce was not to thick or thin. Again perfect! I regards to the Enchilada...I NEVER...I'll repeat it...I NEVER get Enchiladas because frankly they're bland and I can make them better. But having these and the fact that I've ordered the enchilada twice now says a lot. I crave these darn things now! Compadres has ruined me to the fact that I can't compete with theirs :) Now for the beans...they aren't out of a can as far as I can tell because they are slightly different each time we go and taste very homemade and excellent each time. I typically leave them in my plate...but not here I don't. Even the rice is great, another item that typically remains in my plate. All is gone, nothing wasted. My husband gets the Chili Colorado Burrito and loves it. Gobbles it down so fast I can't get a bite to give my own review..lol My boys are hooked on the Nachos. Thank you Compadres for the great food, fantastic service and welcoming atmosphere. You won't leave this place hungry...if anything you're rolling yourself out. read more

Great service and food! Sat on the front patio it was beautiful. Really the staff was super friendly and attentive!

Been excited about going here since we moved to the area a few months ago. The 4 of us arrived early (about 4:30 pm) without reservations, and were told there were no seats available. But the kicker was that there were only 2 patrons there. It's a very tiny space with about 8 tables. So as we turned around to go, the hostess/server came to us and said if we could eat quickly and be out of there by 5:45, we could stay. We stayed and ordered our meals. The plates arrived stacked with food, but not one of us really liked what we ordered. It wasn't bad but it wasn't yummy either. Just so-so. We kept to our bargain and left before 5:45, but on our way out we noted that there were only two other tables with customers there. Just didn't feel welcome there and the food was mediocre. We're going to try a different Mexican restaurant next time. read more

Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Outdoor sign - Mexican Near Me - Dayton, Nevada

The food was definitely good and quality but not spicy at all. No problem, just ask for hot sauce,(none on the table). The staff and the ambience was outstanding! This is a great gem just off the beaten path, in a cool little residential nook. My friend just moved here from the Bay Area and now will probably be a regular, at least when I visit. read more

Great food and excellent service! Got a Large order to go for a party without much lead time for them. All 16 of us were very happy and pleased with the food. Coming back up to Virginia City in September, will definitely be driving down for dinner! read more

service was absolutely terrible. the server was very rude, didn't give us the time of day, made faces about my husband asking for water when the salsa was so spicy he needed it. it was a whole different story when two men came in. she was friendly and upbeat to them. she couldn't give them good service fast enough. when my husband asked for water again she went off on him. I told her she could be a little nicer and that we were thinking of leaving. she told us to go ahead. since when do restaurants treat their customers this way. when Jo worked there we were always treated with respect and friendliness. in addition, their prices have gone way up including their lunch specials and they charge extra for more chips. since we were told to leave we didn't get to taste the food so we don't know if it's still good. we definitely won't be going back there. read more

Love this place! Great lunch specials, and very friendly staff. Great margaritas and chips/ salsa!
