Quite disappointing. During covid times the place was extremely overcrowded - I would've considered it to be crowded even pre covid- and extremely loud. The chips were extremely stale. A simple cocktail with two ingredients was undrinkable- the snapper couldn't even be cut with a knife. The price was absurdly high for the quality of food. Wouldn't go back. 2 stars because the mole sauce was tasty read more

We love going to Los Compadres! Mondays are the best with half price nachos and margarita specials. We absolutely love Adolfo and specifically ask to be seated in his section. Perfect for date night or a great dinner. read more

They are not enforcing social distance rules. We were even asked to let somebody sit just next to us. Only two small digital menu that almost all customers have to share? The same pen to everybody to sign the bills. Is nonsense. We decided to leave and didn't eat. I am piss with this. It will cost the whole economy to shut down again. So sad. read more

So excited about this place! Food is great and margaritas are awesome. They have a large selection to choose from. I recommend the watermelon and blueberry margarita! I had the carne asada for dinner it was delicious. This is Mexican food done well. Today they are open to the public so go give them a try! read more

My husband and I had lunch at Los Compadres today. Very nice, clean restaurant with a great menu. The staff was amazing, super friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, but I have one complaint. My meal included a tamale, and I ordered pork. The little bit of pork that was in the tamale was delicious and very, very tender. The problem was that there was VERY little pork, and all masa. I would definitely go back, but probably would not order a tamale. read more

This is a single star review (until there is a reason for an update). There was not a single employee in this establishment that wore a face covering/mask. The bar area was packed . . . Social distancing was not observed. Does the ownership/management guarantee a COVID-free environment? Obviously, that isn't possible. It's shocking, considering our current environment, that this business is behaving in such a reckless manner. read more

Fantastic service and food. The guacamole is the best I've ever had! If you haven't been here yet, make time to go! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! read more

3rd experience here and still hasn't been a good one for me. My husband likes it, I haven't had a single good experience yet. First two times my food was not edible. 3rd time, they have a shrimp cocktail at 2 separate areas of their menu, so I think it must be pretty good. Went to order it and was told that it was available because it had not been prepped (sauce made) yet. It was 3:00 in the afternoon. If this dish is under your 'special' category, why wouldn't it be available for service? Strike 3 for me. UPDATE: guess my message was read and heard. A shrimp cocktail arrive out of the blue right after posting. Happy camper now. It is a good as I imagined!! read more

Pretty popular place in Roanoke on a Friday night. Had about a 40K in wait. But once sat down waiter was quick and attentive. Excellent service. This time only 3 of us were here to try it out and the burrito dinner that my daughter had was good. But the thing is absurdly large. Son had the kids chicken flautas. He's 2 so that was a bit of a waste, but he did love him some beans and rice. I tried his flauta and I wasn't so much a fan but they are made there and good quality just not my thing. I had the shrimp tacos. I didn't read the menu well enough I guess I was expecting grilled shrimp and they are fried. Actually it wasn't what I was thinking of getting and I asked waiter for recommendation and he said they were very popular and he liked them. And they were very delicious, huge shrimp hand battered in a very good batter, almost tempura style. Over all a good experience. And nothing I can really complain about. read more

The only thing keeping this place from getting 5 stars is the service. The food is amazing. As everyone in Texas knows, you can tell a good Mexican food restaurant by their salsa. And their salsa is amazing. The only problem is it takes forever to get it and when you run out, you sit there for a while waiting on the server to return. Our first meal was the shrimp tacos and the enchiladas verde. Again, fantastic taste, but it took a while for the food to arrive and the server quickly disappeared before we could ask for more salsa and drinks. I hope this is just growing pains. But the management really needs someone on the floor directing staff and stepping in to insure guest are not sitting around wondering when their server will return. I will go back and recommend to my friends, but if the service does not improve, no restaurant is worth the kind of wait we are getting. read more

Great margaritas! Amazing food! Every time my wife and I have dined here it been amazing from the food to the service. It's one of our favorite places to eat! read more

Great food. Guacamole was awesome and the brisket enchiladas and tacos had great flavor. Salsa was not overly spicy which was good for the kids. Overall will be coming back for sure! read more

Honestly very disappointed in our experience. The food was incredibly bland. Chips were stale and chicken tacos had zero flavor. Chicken was dry and hard. The service was super slow. Nice people but very slow. One star for strong margaritas and a cool patio but we don't feel like we ever want to go back. read more

We had great service and great food. Our entrees had a wonderful flavor. The salsa and chips were great as well, the chips are a perfect thickness and didn't shatter to pieces. We will be coming back. The manager was circulating and stopped to talk with us. The staff was friendly to us and to each other. Nice atmosphere. read more

Carolina was amazing!!! We had amazing service and the best food!! The margaritas were hand made, you can taste the tequila, not a bunch of fake juice. The el pastor tacos, housemade guacamole, and quest were all delicious. Those outdoor seating, food, and service were awesome. We will definitely be back. read more

This was our first time trying this place. We sat down and waited for 20 minutes with no service. The waiter walked by 3 times to say he would be right with us and attended to 2 other tables that were already served. As I left, I told the hostess why we were leaving. She stared at me blanked faces and responded, "Sorry". That is the word I would use to rate my experience here. read more

I'm a tough critic so I don't hand out 5 star reviews easily. This place has good food, good drinks, good service, it's very clean and the pricing is in line with other Tex Mex places in the area. $17 for fajitas etc. And it has a covered outdoor patio area with fans (and heaters). We tried the beef and chicken fajitas with fresh made flour tortillas. Delicious! We also got the chips and queso and that was excellent to. We also picked up an order to go this week and the food was still warm when we got home thanks to the style of Togo containers they use. This time we tried beef fajita enchiladas and it was delicious. I feel this place is easily the best Tex Mex option in the area. read more

To start on a positive note, Los Compadres has a very nice aesthetic! The service & food was below par. They just opened so I can see more organization & I imagine they will improve over time! The staff was very friendly but they were over staffed so our table got overlooked initially. We got our chips & salsa very quickly but took forever to get our drinks. The chips were solid but the salsa was very bland, no spice. The queso was terrible. I ordered the snapper & it was pretty solid but still lacking flavor & spice. They completely forgot my friends entree & only brought her salad. But like I said I can see this place really improving once they get established. Give it a shot when you are in downtown Roanoke. read more

4th time here. 1st time in 6 months. Decided to give it another try. Previous three were terrible. Mexican corn I could have done at my house. Enchiladas Mexicanas...the meat was like the bagged frozen steak fajita meat you buy at Wal Mart. Verdes was warm on outside cold on inside. Chips, salsa and drinks were the best thing here and that's not saying much. This is white people mexican food. Can't wait for Los molcajetes to open on Oak St. Learn the food before you sell it is all I can say. read more

This place is now my favorite restaurant!!! The food is amazing, here's a tip........sit at the bar. Juan and the rest of the bar staff are top shelf! Food is very good, the house margarita is really good. Been here about a dozen times since they have opened, never had a bad experience. read more

We came here today, Friday, April 23. We were seated on the outside row, facing main street. Service out here was extremely slow, and sometimes non-Existent. I'm trying to support this new business, but poor service does not make for a happy customer. We ordered a large bowl of queso and waited almost 15 minutes for chips, by then the queso was ice cold. Our dinner came out in a decent amount of time, but once my food came I never saw my server again. My wife had to go inside to pay the bill since nobody ever came back out to check on us. There are many other places in Roanoke, if this new business is going to survive, they need to pay more attention to their customers. Our first experience was much better, the second experience leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Had dinner, beef fajitis and the house margaritas. The corn tortillas were the street tortillas and were extremely small for a dinner meal, and only got three, got four last time. The beef was tough and chewy and grisly. Talked to the waiter and had to asked for the chicken instead (he really did not know what to do). Within minutes, he comes out with the chicken, sizzling on the cast iron plate. This tells me the chicken is pre-cooked with the greasy onions. The sound of sizzling hot food is really pre-cooked food being reheated on a super hot iron plate. For $19, this meal was way too chintzy and felt like I had left overs instead of fresh food. Even the sides were barely enough to enjoy a fajita. The margaritas were good but for $10 each (was $6), this place is reminding me of Grapevine. Apparently, no manager was present. This place seems like it is following the latest trend to serve less, lower quality food at higher prices. I maybe able to save a few dollars and go out now and then but for $40 + tip, this is way too much for a meal. I am no longer a fan of this place and probably will not come back. read more

Glad to have a tasty Mexican food option in downtown Roanoke! The queso is great and we shared the taco salad. The chicken is a tad spicy for my liking but my husband loved it! The margaritas are very fresh and not too sugary. Be sure to ask what flavored tequila they have! When we were in, we for the last of their peach tequila which was super tasty! Their menu is very large and we will be back to try other entrees! read more

Had a fantastic dinner experience tonight. It was busy, but the service was stellar. The chips and salsa were good. The plain queso was also good. My wife ordered cheese enchiladas. Their sauce was meaty, which was a nice compliment to the cheese. I had the al pastor and it was the best I've ever had. They asked corn or flour tortillas and I asked for both. The flour was definitely homemade and the corn was high quality. They also brought me three sauces (smokey salsa, Habanero, and a green jalapeño). All were good, but the habanero was delicious. I'm normally not a rice and bean guy, but both were great. The beans had a smokey flavor and had some sausage in it. We had the skillet pecan pie al a mode with bourbon sauce. Even though we were stuffed it was good enough that we finished it. Overall it was a great dining experience and living in Roanoke, this will be a spot we frequent. read more

I have Frequented this restaurant many times over all great experience, today however ordered chicken fajita lunch and it came out had 4 slices of chicken maybe 3 inches long , employee i was with had the beef fajitas had about 6 to 7 pieces of meat. I advised this to the waiter his response was its smaller portions for lunch , i get that for sure. But 4 small pieces of chicken that was a joke , he came back and stated we can get you more chicken for $5 more ,i said no thanks. Over all my Vegetable fajitas were good minus any checking. However the Customer service was terrible. read more

Wow is all I have to say!!!! This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to in Texas and that's saying something! The salsa is amazing spicy but the flavor is immaculate. I got the barbacoa tacos and wow they did not disappoint the flavors were perfect. My mom talked this place up I had high standards I was not disappointed. 10/10 would recommend everytime I visit Texas I'm coming back here. read more

Out...freaking...standing Thank you Dane Perfect Friday night You guys where packed and busy But we felt like VIP read more

We just moved to the area and this was our first Mexican place to try. Neither of us liked their beans but their brisket chimichanga was very good. The brisket was very tender. The salsa is a bit on the spicy side but I tamed mine down with some lemon juice. The table guacamole was excellent. I got it without jalapeños and had them add everything else, including the bacon. We both prefer white queso but this queso was still pretty good. Their peach tea is good too. read more

Wife and I have been visiting this great restaurant for the last several years. Always a great experience with great food and service. Today was an exception with my wife ordering a mango margarita which she always ordered. Today she received a frozen regular margarita. When politely ask the server to send back he responded with the bartender said it was a mango margarita. My wife approached the bartender and polite said there is no mango in this and normally this has a high yellow appearance to the drink. The female bartender rudely said her is a taste of mix I put into the drink. Of course the sample was high yellow mango while the actual drink was green slushy in context. The bartender refused to make a new drink and actually told my wife to accept the drink she made. My wife politely refused. Our dinner turned into a happy birthday experience to a nightmare. See the pictures of a mango compared to what was ordered. This is the first review I have ever spent time recording thank you for review and reading. read more

Sunday lunch on the patio. Ordered the beef and chicken fajitas. Beef was tough and chicken had virtually no seasoning. Margaritas were hand made and very good. Salsa was good. Expected more flavor and portion size for the $17.50 price point. read more

Great Mexico City inspired Mexican food... fresh and flavorful and not the same ol Tex Mex. The snapper salad was wonderful! Also loved their Mint Poloma and fresh homemade Margaritas. Really enjoyed this place...and the service was great! read more

Finally a solid Mexican option in downtown Roanoke! Solid food, a pretty standard menu...we had a carne asada and an enchilada plate. What makes this place extra cool is a very creative drink menu with top shelf and infused margaritas. Will definitely be back!! read more

Can I get a heck yeah!!! Excellent quality homemade good, very tasty. Comfortable atmosphere, very clean facility. Our waitress Michelle deserves a shout out. She was very attentive, professional and knowledgeable. WILL BE BACK! Very good job practicing the social distance and face masking. read more

This place has yet to fail us. We have been here three times in the past three weeks, ordering something different every time. The Barbados tacos are amazing...actual cheek meat, not tender brisket. The bacon-wrapped shrimp! I mean, how can you go wrong with bacon-wrapped anything!? The pescado tacos! There remolade is on point, and that slaw is perfect. My wife loved her enchiladas. The beer-battered shrimp tacos were crisp, and very tasty. But the filet y relleno combo?!?! Why isn't that a thing EVERYWHERE!?!? Hal to three quarter inch thick skirt steak, grilled to perfection... covered with a layer of cheese... then topped with a poblano pepper,a bit more cheese and a light sauce. Served with boracho beans and a charred- roasted jalapeño on top of a serving of rice. Paint that with a DosEquis (while sneaking sips of my wife's margarita) and you've arrived! Ask for Adolfo! He is the best! Funny, down-to-earth, "too real", and never misses a trick. Great place. Make the time to try this place while it's still new and fresh! read more

Neat spot, I wouldn't call it authentic but it's pretty good food. I'd come here for for the atmosphere than anything with a large group. Will definitely be back at least! read more
