First and foremost, let me say that I have been to MANY a Mexican restaurant in my day. I've had tacos that were bland and unseasoned and I've had gourmet tacos that would knock your socks off. As someone who really loves birria in general, I was thrilled to find this place less than 2 miles from my new home! I had ordered from here a couple times using delivery apps, always having a great experience, but I wanted to wait until I made an in-person visit to do a review. This place was nice and clean and we were seated almost immediately. It wasn't overly crowded, but they were busy. Our server greeted us with chips and salsa and took our drink orders within minutes of sitting down. My mother and I both got the mango margaritas and my father got a beer, all of which came out fast and were delicious! My mother and I were twins once again and both ordered the birria tacos and my father got the steak fajitas. I'd already told both of them that I vouch for the birria, but my father is a creature of habit, although he did say after seeing them, he wishes he would have ordered what we got. His steak fajitas were delicious, but I think we made him jealous with all of our oohs and aahs over these tacos. The shells were good and crispy and they were stuffed with a ton of the most tender shredded beef you can imagine. The consommé and the salsa verde were just the cherries on top of a very delicious meal. I'm so glad we stopped in, and with this experience, I can confirm this will be a new regular stop for all of us! read more

Great service, great food portions were plenty, & priced right. Have been here several times. No complaints.

If you ever find yourself in small town Ashtabula; you must visit its own lil hidden gem. Came here for 9+ yrs with my fam bam... more importantly, started my mom/son(s) dates at this lil spot and they help make my lil 5yr old (at the time) at ease #LunchSpecialsAreOnPoint This place has always had the family style feel; as soon as you're greeted....Always a smile on our servers face no matter who helped us. It's been about 3yrs since we came through and it was good seeing familiar faces (and the fact that they remembered by kiddos). We brought my nlaws and were seated in space I thought was intimate/private for the occasion. We had chimi rolls for an appetizer, the margarita special, and my old time fav pollo ranchero. We also ordered enchiladas supremas, enchiladas mexicanas, veggie plate, and the meat fajitas. The meat fajitas must've sat there a bit because they weren't delivered sizzling (which was fine) Appreciated that the team helped serve our food, but one helper just dropped my sons plate and failed to get the empty plate he was attempting to pass to him. The next server saw what happened and got it when she delivered another platter; I thank you for the initiative!! #GirlsRule our server was on point with the service he provided. Made sure we had what we needed. Overall, always a good experience. Although prices have gone up, it's expected with the way allll prices have gone up. read more

I come here very frequently for lunch. Staff is always very nice, the food is always quick and delicious. I like the water fall in the front and they have TV's for you to watch also. So over all a good atmosphere, pretty much what you would expect from a Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend if you're looking for some Mexican and are in the area. read more

I ate there for the first time about a week ago and I have NOT stopped thinking about this place. My family and I recently moved here from Los Angeles and I was afraid I wouldnt have great mexican food nearby. I WAS WRONG. The food here is fantastic and the service was perfect. I forgot exactly what I ordered but it was a wet burrito with shrimp, steak, and chorizo. Honestly, I'll probably end up trying everything on the menu :) read more

Haven't been able to get here for a while, but the food and service are still the best. YOU GOT TO GET HERE, LOVE THIS PLACE

Hidden Jewel of Ashtabula, we went for early dinner on a Saturday night at 4:00 PM, and this place stayed packed. There was little to no wait, because they were well staffed and turned tables quickly. We ordered Margaritas, Negro Modelo by the pitcher (great deals), and cheese & chorizo dip (delicious). Our food was served promptly, and it was excellent - flavorful but not overly salted (we were actually trying to figure out the unique spices). Staff was friendly and worked as a team to make our meal enjoyable. Definitely gold standard restaurant, we will make a return visit when in town. read more

I've eaten here several times. Great food, service and environment. I'd highly recommend it.

Delicious salsa, great food, amazing service. The chips were brought so instantly with a wonderful fresh tasting salsa. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas. They are served in a great verde sauce and a like cheese sauce. Super yummy, i thought my friend would have to roll me out. My friend ordered the chimichangas. They looked huge!!! She devoured them and normally eats like a bird so i was impressed. Our food came our very quickly, our server checked in regularly. It was a very pleasant experience. My 2019 goal as a yelper was to take more pictures and im already slacking, so just take my word for it, the food is as good as it looks. read more

Excellent food. Portions tend to be on the large size. But food this good tasted great the next day. Enjoyed my lime margarita, also on the large size. My dinner guest heartily enjoyed his frozen Pomegranate Margarita. Waitress was attentive. We could have just ate the chips and salsa and have been happy. Actually went back a couple of days later for another meal. read more

I do a lot of traveling to Ashtabula. There aren't many spots to hit but I've been to Los Compadres twice. And I've been satisfied both times. Can't recall what I ordered but I know I had a pretty good $4 LARGE Margarita during happy hour. Service was good. Food came quick, barely had time to enjoy the chips . No issues with that since I finished them after. read more

Actually went to Compadres Express in Bula by Steak n Shake ... what a joke and this owner is getting GREEDY!! I ordered street tacos and was told I would be charged an extra .50 for salsa?!?!? Never in my life have I ever been charged for salsa!!! I will never set foot into another Compadres again!!!! read more

Amazing food love, love, this place. We stopped here on the way home from Niagara Falls and it is so good. Live the lime margarita as well read more

Los Compadres - The food is amazing! One of the best Mexican restaurants I have been to in a long time - Mexican Near Me - Ashtabula, Ohio

Los Compadres Ashtabula Ohio If your hungerin for some decent tacos or tamales in NE Ohio, Los Compadres in Ashtabula can usually fit the bill. It may not be Pepe's Tacos in Puerto Vallarta, but its pretty doggone good food. We have been regulars here for about a year now and have never had a bad experience. In fact their Tamales are probably some of the best I've had outside of Mexico, and for me that's quite a statement. The one thing they do to the Tamale is cover it in meat sauce, which I really don't care for. I like my Tamales plain with a touch of pico de gallo! Our last visit, my wife and I shared the "Special Dinner for 2". As you can see from the pic's, it's the perfect arrangement for two people, and at $16.99 it's a pretty good deal. The platter includes, 1 Chalupa, 1 Tamale, 1 Burrito, 1 Chili Relleno, 1 Enchilada, and 2 Tacos. You can choose any meat "or not", if you don't ask they'll put taco meat on everything. Which is not a bad deal if your like taco meat. I prefer an assortment of Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Pollo. Delicious! Our waitress Jasmine, was courteous, and pleasant, she truly made our visit enjoyable. Although we have never been their and had a bad experience, she just has one of those personalities that you remember. It seems to be that in the NE US, Mexican food is always topped with a sauce or cheese. This I could kinda do without. I like traditional and simple! When we go again, I would definitely get the platter without the sauce or have it placed on the side. The fried ice cream was tasty and fresh, can ya ever have too much whipped cream? With a honey base and crispy fine ground crumble, its served in a bowl shaped tortilla and topped with a cherry, just the thing after a nice rich Mexican meal. We have not been to any other Los Campadres, and can only speak for the Ashtabula location. We enjoy the staff, we've never had a bad meal, and the establishment is always clean and organized. Warning, the drinks are strong and the margaritas will catch up to you right about desert time.... Oh YEAH! Have fun, and tell Jasmine don't be shy with the Tequila. read more

Delicious! Hot! Fast! Friendly! So many great things to say about this place. However parking lot is small and I wonder how busy they get on weekend afternoons for dinner? We showed up early during the week and were the only people here. I loved that they had the auto trader books to read. I know it's the little things ha! read more

If you want reasonably authentic Mexican food in Ashtabula, this is the place to go. The menu has the quintessential Mexican items, including descriptions for non-Spanish speakers. I love their salsa, rice, and chimichangas. There's a drink special just about every day. On Mondays and Wednesdays, $.99 drafts. Tequila sunrise and margaritas are $1.99 some other days. If you speak Spanish, bust it out. The staff seem to enjoy it! read more

I had never been to Los Compadres, but I drove by it many times wanting to go in. Well a few weeks ago, I joined some friends there for dinner. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. I found my friends and my drink and food order was taken in a timely way. I ordered a chicken enchilada and it was tasty!!! My friend got a taco salad and said it was delicious. Great food at a good price. I will definitely be back. read more

This is a chain restaraunt, and as far as chains go, this one is good. It is NOT authentic Mexican, but in Ashtabula, authentic is hard to find. It is consistent and tasty. The chips and salsa are unlimited. (Some places charge after the first bowl, but not this one!) We have been here more than 2 dozen times and the service has always been good and they can accomodate larger groups of people without skipping a beat. (We've been there with groups as big as 15.) Plus, they offer adult beverages... read more

I love this restaraunt!! Chips and salsa are unlimited and always taste fresh. Chicken quesodilla is delicious! Magarita night is a great value. read more

Only gave it a star because I had to in order to post. I imagine that everyone who is giving this place great reviews and claiming that it's "authentic" Mexican has never actually had authentic Mexican (or been outside of Ashtabula). This is Americanized Mexican, and not even a good example of it. The margaritas are cloyingly sweet, toxic, and made from margarita mix. The "chilie rellenos" are simply not chilie rellenos, and the cheese used in the food was greasy and low quality. It's not surprising that I left 1/2 way through my meal and was sick for the next 24-hours. Seriously, stay away. Any place that willingly gives customers bowls of ranch dressing (yes I saw this at tables next to me) to dip chips in is not authentic. read more

Best Mexican food around. My fiance and I don't always like going to the same restaurant twice but we've found ourselves coming here 3 times in the past couple months. Every meal we've ordered has been delicious and so large that it could make 2 meals. The online coupons they offer are also a plus because you end up getting a good discount. Even though the food comes out fast it's always fresh. The atmosphere is also a nice touch. We will definitely be coming here regularly. read more
