Hello Rockwall! We were on this side of town for a soccer game so stopped by this gem for dinner. We were able to get seated in their covered patio right away. My husband appreciated being sat right in front of the tv playing the football game. Our server Destiny was amazing! She was friendly and even gave my daughter a star sticker to match hers. Destiny made sure we were well taken care of all night. She made sure we had refills and would come and check on us every so often. We ordered the Ceviche as our appetizer and it was Chefs kiss! I loved the nice kick the Jalapeño gave it and the shrimp and tomato were flavorful. For my meal I had the Carne asada which came with rice and charro beans. The steak was cooked to perfection, while still being flavorful and the charro beans and rice were on point. The ambiance can be for date night and family dinners. Good place for kids too. They have chicken nuggets on their kids menu, in case you have a picky eater. Overall we are so glad we came here for dinner! read more

Los Compadres your alcoholic beverages are good, however, your food is not good enough to ever have poor service. Not ever.... The food was mediocre at best. I ordered several items to try and I was not impressed. My normal order here is the spinach enchiladas, but today I made the mistake of ordering something different. My normal enchiladas aren't the best I've ever had, but atleast I can eat them without feeling like I wasted money. I haven't been in a while and decided to go during happy hour time frame. For happy hour they have 2 drinks: pre-made original margarita (frozen or on the rocks) and they have s margarita mixed with sangria. The margarita is better than the food by leaps and bounds. They do not have a food happy hour menu. Happy hour is 3-6p Our waiters name was Rudy and although we left a tip over 20%, it was not deserved. I was so underwhelmed with his whole demeanor. Maybe he was having an off day but we don't get discounts when waiters have off days so that means Rudy should be on his best behavior at work and he definitely wasn't. It was my daughters first time in and I had to work overtime to make sure her experience wasn't ruined. I actually wanted the girl delivering chips to be our waitress, she had a much better attitude and gave great service!! Now to the meal... please review the pics I've attached and know that there was NOTHING that we ordered that deserved a rating over mediocre. It was all just average at BEST. I travel all over DFW and I love Mexican food! I can skip paying $150 for subpar flavor. I would've done better at a food truck or Fresko Taco spot... los compadres I won't be seeing you for food again, too many other spots where I can spend my hard earned money and get great service. I might see you for a margarita if one of my friends wants to come. I can't in good faith recommend los compadres for food. Rudy, do better. read more

Holy Taco!! Had the taco salad today and for a minute thought about just eating it like a normal taco! Wouldn't have worked as the taco shell was deliciously soft and likely wouldn't have held together. Different take on taco salad but great flavors, much better than the 'average.' Fajitas and pozole are the go to, Serrano Caesar used to have an awesome spice to it but lately it's been closer to mild. Enchiladas and tacos are okay, not enough food for me to justify the price. Margaritas have always been solid, M-Fri 2-6pm happy hour with $8 margaritas read more

My family and I have been eating at this restaurant for the past 6 years. We've been loyal customers and really love the food. However, within the last 2-3 years the online ordering has been lacking. It's likely that more times than not our whole order isn't completed when arriving to our house. Tonight the order consisted of tacos, fajitas, and enchiladas. We ended up not getting the complimentary salsa, and the sides that came with the fajitas (sour cream, guac, and pico). I would love to say this has been the only time this has happened, but it's now become a game in our family to guess what will be missing or wrong. I'm also disappointed because I loved their cheese enchiladas with their chili con queso sauce but they decided to change the default sauce to queso. According to the restaurant they changed it because the general public prefers that. This would be fine since I have the option to change the sauce, but it never seems to fail that when I order them the queso Is still put on and not corrected. I mean, who on earth puts queso on a cheese enchilada in the first place. They're just looking for constipation, and my wrath. Anyways, the foods still good but the online service needs to be corrected and quick. read more

I can't believe i haven't eatin here sooner, i mean, i have been doing business with them for a while but never ate here til now. And OMG how could i have not eatin here before? Well it's Taco Tuesday and National Taco Day so i figured why not and thank God i did. I sat at the bar and before i could even look at the menu, they dropped chips an salsa down. They give you these even if your just there for a drink. OK, being Taco Tuesday i was lookin to get me some and boy did i. I ordered the Birria Tacos and a shot of Aguasol Tequila. Both of these were great choices. The spices were high and the tastes were great on everything on the plate. The tequila was really good and smooth. I enjoyed every sip. I really enjoyed the employees dedication and friendliness that i delt with. Really impressed and i'll be back to try some of my other favorites soon. read more

I stopped in around 4:15 PM on a Friday to check out their happy hour and grab a bite at the bar. The bartender mentioned $8 house margaritas, either frozen or on the rocks. I decided to keep it simple with one on the rocks and asked for easy ice. It arrived completely full of ice, strike one. After bringing the drink, she asked if I wanted another, so I told her I'd like to see a menu and order dinner. She dropped off the menu, then grabbed her phone and disappeared without returning to take my order, strike two. After sitting there for about 10 minutes, a grey-headed gentleman came by and asked how things were. I told him I was ready to order, and he kindly entered my chimichanga with ground beef into the system. Within 3-4 minutes, a nice lady came out from the kitchen with my plate, bonus star for the kitchen being so fast! During my meal, my margarita was long gone, so I found myself eating the ice just to have something to drink with dinner. By the time I finished both my meal and the ice, the bartender finally came back and asked if I wanted another drink, a little late for that one. I told her I was done and ready for the check. She just walked away, and I had to flag down a bald-headed gentleman to finally get my bill. Throughout my entire visit, the bartender was consistently on her phone and not providing customer service at all. The food is average at best, and kitchen staff were great, but the bar service completely missed the mark. Strike three for me on this place! read more

If you want service, absolutely do not sit at the bar. I'm not sure if this place is too big for its britches or not used to a high volume. The chicken street tacos were dry, but the fried shrimp tacos were good. Blackberry margarita was good it's spicy. Do not even eat the beans, but the rice was good. I was hoping this place was going to be above average, but it wasn't. It was just average. read more

Terrible bro like taking 10 mins to gimme my drinks and smells like cardboard food is good though so not terrible but in some aspects not the best waiters are very nice apologies for the wait and everything read more

Average food. Complimentary chips & salsa (a little spicy) served. Good queso. I got the original margarita that was being sold outside the restaurant during a festival and it tasted like pure lime juice and was very weak if it had any tequila in it. I was expecting more since they advertise having the best margarita. When we dined in, I got the Aztec Mule (tequila, lime juice, & ginger beer) which was very good. The tortilla soup and beef nachos were good. Others enjoyed taco salad and the kids split a kids quesadilla. We wish they would have had milk for the kids to drink. Good table service. They kept chips and waters filled and checked on us frequently. Food came out pretty quickly despite them being busy. The hostess could have been a little more friendly and assertive managing the people waiting as it was starting to get busy and was very loud and she'd just speak softly hoping that the "party of 8" could hear her [the crowd eventually helped find the people that were the party of 8]. read more

We ventured to Los Compadres as part of our Roanoke Christmas parade, and we were so glad we did! The service was friendly and attentive, and you could tell that they all work as a team. We noticed the hostess helping bus tables, and every single employee had a welcoming smile on their face. It's a beautiful restaurant in a great location, and it has lots of spacious seating. The food came out quickly, and it was so delicious! I think the shrimp tacos were the best I've ever eaten! And the basil margarita was a fun twist on a Mexican staple. My husband also enjoyed his chicken quesadilla. Highly recommend! Thank y'all for taking good care of us ! read more

Super Bowl Sunday I was craving Ceviche. They had two orders ready in less than 5 minutes. They serve the ceviche with fresh warm chips and a spicy salsa. I added the chips and salsa to my chili charcuterie board. The shrimp ceviche is so good and differed from many of the ceviche's that are overpowered by red onions. This one has cherry tomatoes sliced in half so they are plump and juicy. Green peppers add a satisfying crunch. The green onions are just enough but they don't over power the shrimp. Definitely worth the trip to Roanoke. read more

Lunch beef fajitas here were $14. I frequently go to other Mexican restaurants for lunch. Usually, the lunch portions are smaller but I didn't expect the beef portion to be as small as I received. The beef was 6 small strips that were nearly paper thin. Onions and peppers were sufficient and tasty, as were the rice and beans. Main disappointment was the beef, which reminded me of that old Wendy's commercial, "Where's the beef?" I will probably avoid this place if I'm wanting lunch beef fajitas. Photo attached but you can't really see just how thin these strips were. Service was great. Clean and comfortable setting. read more

Los Compadres Cantina - Lunch beef fajitas. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Roanoke, Texas

I have been here many times, surprised that I had not reviewed it before. Food here is always really good....fajitas, enchiladas, dinners, even brunch offerings--always made to order and very good. Service is friendly and people other than your waiter/waitress will say hello sand check on you. Might sound small, but stuff like that makes the experience even better. Prices are very fair and portions are pretty large...you won't get cheated. The restaurant has ample seating, but can get crowded on Sunday during lunch time. Parking can be tough, but that applies for everything in Roanoke. Seating is availabe at the bar and patios, so if its a nice day you have some outside options. read more

We ate at Los Compadres Cantina tonight in Roanoke . This was hands down the best Mexican food I have had since moving here. Everything was very fresh and super tasty. It was a hard choice choosing my dinner tonight everything sounded good. It smelled amazing in there and I watched other dishes come out that looked amazing. I got the Camarones Baja Tacos Three negra modelo beer battered jumbo shrimp tacos with pickled cabbage, avocado, and volcano sauce on flour tortillas. Served with rice and charro beans. The shrimp were huge! It reminded me of a little place in Cabo where I had beer battered shrimp tacos. It was so tasty! That sauce was bomb too! My husband got the Barbacoa Tacos Three braised lean beef cheek with corn tortillas. Served with cilantro, onions, avocado, rice and charro beans. I tried a bite and it was so tender! The charro beans were really good too. They had a little bit of spice! I never take those home but took some home this time. My kids had a kids chicken nuggets ( I love that they have this option because my son is not a fan of Mexican food and only eats chicken). My daughter had a cheese quesadilla, she loves Mexican food. 2 1/2 year old twins approved! Also I have to add that the salsa was really good. I have not had good salsa since moving here but that was awesome! They also give you free freshly pressed and made tortillas with butter. Which were awesome and very much appreciated! They come with the fajitas, we will have to try that next time. I totally recommend this place! They said 40 min wait time too and I think it was no more than 10 min. Awesome tasty food tonight! read more

This place is the bomb!! Where else can two people eat for less then $40 including a 25% tip? We always sit at the bar because the service is exceptional. This was our first time on a Monday and the bartender told us all the appetizers are half off! I got the Tango to drink which is basically a swirl and hubs got a Mt Gray which is a coconut old fashioned sort of. He loves it. I got the ceviche which is so beautifully plated and tasty and hubs got the sampler with quesadillas, flautas, nachos and a side of queso. We should have split it but I lost my mind when the bartender said ceviche. All very good and we were checked on frequently. A great go to for happy hour for sure read more

We have ordered food to go on a few occasions, but today was the first time we dined in. Our waitress was Madison. This may be her first job. There was something about her that made her endearing - I don't know what it was. They do not have sweet tea but she said the tea is warm so I could try to mix the sugar in then pour it over ice. It didn't work nearly as well as I had hoped, but props to her for being clever enough to suggest it! She did a say things like "like" and "you know" a lot, which was a bit too casual, in my opinion, but we aren't talking fine dining here, so maybe it is ok. I really enjoyed their queso. It was thick and coated the chip nicely. No watery queso here! I had the lunch cheese enchilada plate - 2 cheese enchiladas topped with chili con carne and served with rice and beans. I also ordered a side of guacamole. The chili con carne had beans in it, which I found odd. Not a good thing, not a bad thing...just an observation. The enchilada were ok. The guacamole was lacking in acid. I added a bit of salt and it was a little better, but it could have used a bit of lime juice. My fiancé had the burrito lunch. He chose beef burritos with queso. He said he would probably be willing to order it again, although he might try chicken next time. Their chocolate flan consists of a very moist chocolate cake that is topped with chocolate flan. It was quite tasty. I'd definitely get it again. Sorry for the lack of pictures (except for the flan), but I didn't even think to get pictures until most of the food was gone! read more

We had a wonderful family dinner this evening after attending the Roanoke Hometown Holiday event! When we first walked up the steps to enter Los Compadres, we were greeting very kindly. The hostess said that although our wait time was popping up at 55 minutes she knew it would be more like 10 minutes. And she was spot on! My family didn't have to wait long at all to be seated. I noticed the tables were spaced to accommodate social distancing protocol, there is hand sanitizer at the hostess stand, plenty of soap in the restrooms and employees are wearing masks and gloves. Everyone is doing their part even the customers. As for the food, YES! It was so good! My husband commented that he's so happy that he can give our child AMAZING food at her age. We're so blessed to live in Texas! Our waitress was attentive and friendly, making sure we had refills and that our food arrived hot! We even ordered sopas to end our lovely meal. We sure do love sopapillas, BUT they paired it with ice cream! Even better. Thank you Los Compadres for our dining experience this evening! It has been a while since we've actually sat down in a restaurant and you made it worthwhile. read more

Well worth the wait! My husband and I were so excited for this place to open! This was our first chance to go since then and it was everything we'd hoped. The chips and salsa are great! The salsa isn't overly spicy, but has a bit of a kick for those of you that like heat. Chips are crispy. We were very happy with both. For meals, we actually both tried the carne asada cooked medium and it did not disappoint! The steaks were flavorful and tender. It came on a bed of grilled onion and peppers as well as roasted tomato. It was so delicious! It also came with a side of rice and beans, which were decent as well. Portion sizes were generous and we walked away spending only $45 for two carne asada plates, lemonade, and a glass of wine. Definitely a lot of bang for your buck! As for COVID precautions, the wait staff all wore masks and everything was very clean. There was plenty of outdoor seating and social distancing indoors. We love this restaurant's location downtown. We will definitely be coming back! read more

I need to update my review, because although I have been back since my first visit I have not updated my review. We asked friends to meet us here last week and I was surprised when I saw the Yelp score was not that high, because every time we have been it has been a great experience. As a matter of fact, friends we have taken here continue to go back. I really have enjoyed their tequila drink selection. I love the Reposado Old Fashioned and the Jalapeño Basil Margarita. My husband is happy they also have Maker's Mark. The chips are endless and their salsa is so much better than most Mexican restaurants, since it is not at all runny, and it is almost creamy. This time we ordered the guacamole that they make at your table. It is nice that you can specify the spiciness and some of the ingredients. The Spinach Enchiladas are delicious. I have really enjoyed every thing I have had here. The service has always been excellent. read more

We wanted to give this a second try as the first was take out and we weren't impressed. Today we had a $12 strawberry margarita. Start by saving your $ for their top tier drink it was awful. My husband even tried and we left half. We asked for recommendations and went with the Mexican Mix and Floutas. I'll add photos. The red sauce was so salty we didn't like, the choke creams on the chicken was good and the cheese one tasted like something from a cheap kids menu. The floutas were unremarkable. read more

Been wanting to stop by and eat at Los Compadres. Ate there on celebrating Roanoke. I had the Burrito with shredded chicken ,rice and beans. It taste good only complain tortilla tasted like they took it out out a store pack, it was hard to cut..wish they would've steamed it first. Also had a taco on the side..disappointed..shell was hard, tasted like they also took it out of a store bought pack. My wife had the poblano chicken with a white sauce, onions and mushrooms. It was pretty good some of the chicken was dry, needed more white sauce. We both had a margarita, it tasted good, but as a little pricy at $10.00 ea for a well drink. The restaurant is a little pricy. In being fair for the restaurant: I would suggest eating there at least three times! read more
