Our local fav! Best skinning margaritas in town ! We go a few times a month and always order a large pico and skinny margaritas.

I miss the Vista Grille being here especially when they seat me in the bar area. That being said this location is a home run compared to the old 4th and Sage location. The service is the same (attentive and appreciative). The atmosphere is different but familiar enough. The food quality and quantity remains the same. Is it authentic Mexican food that would be served in Mexico? Not really. It is Americanized and flavored down to suit the clientele. That is not a to say it is bad, just don't expect the perfect spicy authentic meal. read more

My wife and I decided to go out for Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo despite the fact that we could cook it at home. One reason was that she wanted something she doesn't usually make. She found it in a decent bowl of menudo. What I found was a whole lot of nothing. I explained that I have an allergy to peppers. As always, I explained that includes bell peppers, jalapeños, and all chilis. I was told that the arroz con pollo would be fine. When it arrived, it had a large green chili. O asked more questions of the waitress before ordering again. This time I got a carne asada burrito. It came out with red sauce on it. She explained that the sauce only has chiles de arbol. The third try resulted in a plain burrito with refried beans and asada inside. No cheese melted on it. No sour cream or guacamole (which may have jalapeños). No rice (which I was told had bell peppers in it but the photos of other guests don't show that). I was also given a side of refried beans (no cheese) for the $4 dinner plate up charge (but never asked). I paid $18 plus an 18% tip for a joke of a meal. And btw, they charge almost $2 for extra limes. The menudo came with three small wedges. I'm not going back. Find a place that cares about customers needs and isn't a rip off. read more

Best Mother's Day treat! We arrived at 11 and there were many families waiting to get in- iykyk. The service was prompt and they got all folks waiting outside seated expeditiously. Everyone was so friendly and service was prompt. The food here is reliably delicious, which is why it's my spot for bdays and moms day and and and..! I usually opt for chili relleno, but gave the grilled fish tacos a try today. I would do it again! Mix their salsa they provide with the chips for an added bonus in any dish you order. Highly recommend the jalapeño margarita, also. It had heat! I was asked by 3 different team members if I need another margarita when I was done! Working hard to make the mamas happy on this beautiful day. read more

This is the first time I have had a negative experience here. Upon arrival we were seated almost immediately from a friendly hostess. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and unfortunately it was not clean. We ordered an appetizer, the beef flautas. They were delicious!! Bursting with flavor, & so juicy! My husband ordered a wet burrito and I the carne asada plate. His food was wonderful and he had no complaints. Mine, however, was not good. The asada was cooked well-done (I asked for medium) & I don't think there was one seasoning on it. It had absolutely no flavor and was tough. read more

This is my favorite Mexican food restaurant. Their fajitas have quality meat and nicely seasoned vegetables. The guacamole is fresh. Their machaca is delicious. Service is very fast and courteous, checking in at the right pace. read more

First time trying this restaurant and it was very disappointing. Ordered Quesofundido and instead of real cheese they use what tastes like a canned Nacho cheese and sprinkled about a spoonful of chorizo on top of it. Doesn't come with chips or tortillas to dip into it either, so was a massive disappointment to try and eat. Ordered a quesadilla and the chorizo inside tasted nice however it was severely lacking in cheese and the actual size of the quesadilla was small. Service was good staff seemed friendly and attentive however the food being so mediocre and borderline bad you're better off trying other Mexican restaurants in the area since this place is expensive as well read more

We both really wanted some Mexican food today, this place was close and open for lunch. There is ample parking, upon entering we were quickly seated and they brought chips and two kinds of salsa, mild and mild. They said one was spicy but not really, they are a tomato base salsa and honestly tasted more like ketchup. The service was very good and after asking if they had a spicier salsa, she finally brought a Habanero salsa, now that was good, full of flavor and good heat. The meals were very much just average, unfortunately to many of the bigger restaurants have gone more to the American Mexican flavor rather than staying true to their roots and amazing flavors. The price was reasonable and our food was served quickly. read more

I love Los Compadres Sparks Location. I NEVER have to wait to be seated. The service from bus boys to the waiters is ABOVE AND BEYOND. My favorite food at Los compadres has to be the green enchiladas (Suizas) and their ceviche plate. read more

The food here is pretty good but it's the service that gives this place 5 stars. The servers are constantly refilling the table's tortilla chips and everyone is friendly and nice. I recommend any dish with carnitas, my favorite being the carnitas Mexican bowl. It's light enough for lunch and healthy-ish. read more

Dropped in for dinner recently with a friend on the spur of the moment. We were greeted by 2 friendly hostesses that seated us immediately. Not a lot of people in the restaurant. At the time, capacity was limited to only 25%. All employees were wearing masks and they were following all the mandated safety protocols. Our waitress came by right away and I ordered one of my favorite Mexican beers, Bohemia. Fresh made chips arrived a few moments later and after asking, the busboy said that they had a spicy habanero salsa which he brought right out to us. Great heat level and balance of flavor. Service was friendly, on point and not overbearing. My buddy ordered Pork Chile Verde: (chunks of pork smothered in green tomatillo sauce, served with rice and refried or whole pinto beans or house salad and corn or flour tortillas. $13.99). He got whole pinto beans and corn tortillas. He said it tasted great! I ordered a staple of every Tex-Mex restaurant I've ever been to...Fajitas! I got Steak Fajitas: (grilled bell peppers, onions and tomatoes in our special seasoned sauce, served with sour cream and guacamole and corn or flour tortillas. Make it a meal with rice and refried or whole pinto beans for 2.99). I got whole pinto beans and flour tortillas to round out my meal. Cooked to perfection...great seasoning and flavors. The meat was tender and the sides were delicious. My only complaint? They weren't served on a sizzling platter! This was baffling. Why not serve fajitas on a sizzling platter? It's always a showpiece of any Tex-Mex restaurant. When another customer sees a sizzling platter of fajitas being served, it usually stimulates an order for themselves! Like I said, they were delicious, but a sizzling platter would have elevated it to outstanding... I'll be back...it's nice to have a quality Tex-Mex place in my neck of the woods. I'm hoping they change to a sizzling platter... read more

I'm going to give five stars to my last meal. As simple as it was, I had a very hot cheese enchilada with red sauce. It was not a chintzy little plate. It was a huge enchilada packed with hot melted cheese, and an abundant amount of red sauce. I've been to other places nearby where I had to ask for more sauce on a very dry enchilada, elsewhere. Or the cheese was still unmelted. What what? Not ok!! This place is delicious and the chips and salsa are amazing. The service was great as well. Clean atmosphere. read more

Hadn't been here in 6 months or so but I ordered my go to Carnitas Taco salad and ordered the carnitas extra crispy........ the carnitas had much more flavor than it ever has previously and was crispy and delicious. I don't know if you guys have a new chef but that was spot on and exactly how Carnitas should taste so keep up the good work. Crispy delicious Carnitas = happy customers. I'll be coming back much more often moving forward, Cheers!! read more

I'm not sure why this is labeled as fine Mexican dining as it is just an average Mexican restaurant with a few extra dollars for the meals. I've been twice now and each time they were crowded and the service could not keep up. I have tried a few dishes with the table and each were okay. Tortillas are extra for Chile Colorado and Verde which is odd. Tostada shell was immediately soggy. Sour cream is already warm. read more

My wife and I have stoped by and had lunch or dinner approximately 6 times in the past 6 months. It's close to one of our Doctors office and so it's kind of been the monthly thing to do for lunch or dinner. In my opinion this is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to. The service is excellent and the food is affordable and taste great. On our most recent trip my wife and I shared Nachos. A regular order is about 15.00 and plenty for two people. My wife does not like Pico or Jalapeño and I don't like sour cream so we get all the toppings on the side. The staff are very nice and when we asked for another plate they brought one to us. The ambiance gives you the feel like your eating out a dinner in Mexico. I am sure there other other very good Mexican restaurants but this is my favorite. read more

Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant - Great food. Great service staff - Mexican Near Me - Sparks, Nevada

My family and I had a lunch for my daughter's birthday yesterday at los compadres Mexican restaurant. The waitress, Betty was lovely and everyone was very very nice. The Mexican food was wonderful and I enjoyed my meal so much but my son-in-law's mom does not eat that food and she ordered the chicken salad. it was disgraceful I've never seen worst chicken in my life. My son-in-law's mom would not speak up but I'm different and I am speaking up and I just came to speak to the manager about it because they should know if they don't know how to cook chicken they shouldn't serve anything like that. He could care less about reimbursing her or making it right. There were 10 of us eating, so it wasn't a small bill that we paid for. It's just upsetting to me because someone who really cares about their food and their reputation would want to make that right. So do not order The chicken salad, no matter what it is disgraceful. I don't really like having to post something like this because I think they do so much right but it's a shame that they didn't want to make this right. Stick with the Mexican cuisine and you'll be fine. read more

Great bar. The bartenders are always nice. Food is good too. Good spot for happy hour.

It's been a long time since I reviewd this place. Persoanally, I have not eaten here in a few years, but my kid has been door dashing them, and I have been eating her leftovers. What is she getting? Either the ground beef or carnitas burrito, with rice and beans. Reasons for 5 stars. 1) Comes in a metal container! Easy to give dad leftovers, he pops it in the oven while watching football. Awesome 2) This has become my comfort food. Either one is that homestyle experience. The burrito itself is big, and add the rice and beans, this is totally for two people. 3) Price is good, burrito combo and horchata (order light ice) were $22. 4) Drum roll please. They throw in a bag of yummy chips and their proprietary salsa, both hot and mild, and both are addicting. Last night, i went and got my own. No more leftovers! read more

This was our go to for years but since Covid the prices have steadily gone up and the quality down. Today we stopped to pick up ONE bag of chips, one container of salsa and a small guac. $25. And to top it off, the chips are stale. We are done. read more

Always a great place to sit and gab with friends over margaritas! Every meal I have had here has been tasty and this ceviche in particular was light and refreshing. A perfect complement to the addicting tortilla chips and salsa! The staff comes by often to check on you and definitely is very helpful throughout the meal. Highly recommend! read more

Los Compadres serves good Mexican fare. To my delight, I discovered menudo on their menu, which has been a rare offering at most conventional Mexican restaurants. If I could find menudo, it was only on weekends and usually gone by noon. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable. Our server was very friendly, and she took the time to explain how the food is prepared when asked. This was important as some in our party require a gluten free diet. Overall, the service we received was very good. I've visited Los Compadres several times, and I have found the food and drinks to be good quality. I find Los Compadres to be one of the better Mexican food establishments in our area. read more

I want to love it here, we have family and friends who frequent the S.Reno location and the one off Disc Dr. I guess it's me? I think the wait staff is great, super friendly and accommodating, but the food is just okay. I have gotten fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, it's all good, but not blow my socks off. The salsa is like spicy tomato sauce, no chunks of veggies or cilantro (first world probs, right?) I'm always up for Mexican so if invited, I'll still go. read more

I've taken the family here a few times. The food is consistently decent. The staff is consistently pleasant and helpful. The prices are reasonable. The restaurant is big enough that even when it seems really busy, they can get you seated quickly. read more

Be aware of the side of tortillas (2 for $2.50). I ordered steak fajitas which came with two small tortillas. I ordered more tortillas for the steak fajitas and two more small tortillas came out. The extra tortillas cost $2.50 for two. Four tortillas still not enough for the fajitas. The overall food was ok. A lot kids in the restaurant during my visit making it loud. The waitress was good. read more

I paid $10 for 3 small meat balls. They were smaller then the spoon . I thought I was getting Albóndiga soup which normally comes with 1-2 tortillas and rice at most places. Not at this place. I guess it's my fault for thinking they would add more to their $10 plate. I left hungry... very disappointed. read more

Our favorite Mexican restaurant. Great food, friendly service. We love their guacamole. The fish tacos are to die for. I am not a huge refried beans person, but I actually crave theirs. This place just hits every time. Now I'm craving their food-gonna have to go this weekend! read more

I think they get their food from Taco Bell... sauce it up, re heat it... and serve it for triple the price. Service is so so, staff was friendly but not super attentive even when have the booths and tables were empty. 3 meals , 3 drinks and total was $90.... A little more than one would expect for what you get. With that said, they do fill your plate, but neither of us were able to finish it because the food was so bland and mushy and swimming in sauce. Two of us had fajitas and one had a chicken taco salad. We had to leave the uneaten food there for them to toss because it's so un edible. Too bad, they used to be fair priced and offer decent meals . I never rarely reviews but I felt impelled to since we keep going back hoping something would change, but it hasn't- so maybe some more feedback might help them make positive changes.. idk. But we're not going back. read more

Sorry no PIC .. was so hungry...Food was good had 2 shredded beef tacos, meat had great flavor , husband had a shredded beef burrito and rice and beans, the rice was nice and fluffy and tasty the beans were good... the customer service excellent...very friendly and efficient close to home I will be coming back... read more

I ordered a carne asada and the meat was impossible to cut and it was super chewy! The service was also not that great.

This Mexican food is authentic and fantastic! The portions are huge. I unfortunately didn't take a picture... but I had the Chimichanga with Rice and beans. There was so much that I took 1/2 home for leftovers. The service is also great. Our waitress was nice and attentive. I definitely recommend this place. read more

This is absolutely the best Mexican Restaurant! The food is superb and the Staff treat you like you are long lost friends. I particularly enjoy Beef Chimichangas, served covered in yummy cheese with sides of sour cream and homemade guacamole. Their combo comes with rice and refried beans. Don't think their rice and beans are just there. Both of them are divine. Pair with a strawberry or peach margarita, on the rocks, no salt and you will think you are in Heaven. read more

I've been driving by all winter and thought it was closed. The entrance and outside are so dark. They need more outdoor lights, maybe something festive? read more

Always great food and great service !! My favorite part is getting salsa and bean dip with your chips

I use yelp when out of town and looking for real advice on good local restaurants. So I took a chance on this spot because my go to (Fiesta Mexicana) was closed. The two stars are for the quick seating and very inviting and friendly staff. Ambiance was basic...much of the dining room was next to the kitchen and bathroom. First and foremost, the most important part of any Mexican restaurant- salsa. The flavor was a good start but it was very thin/runny and tasted like hot sauce/red sauce vs salsa. It had no sign of garlic, onion, or cilantro which is what I prefer in salsa. The chips came out room temp/cool. I realize some may like this style salsa but it wasn't for me. The food- we had a variety of items involving steak (nachos, street tacos, fajitas) and the meat was lacking seasoning on all three. The fajitas were the only dish that had slight flavor, which I think came from the grilled onion and peppers. The steak in the other two dishes was dry and extremely bland, like not even salted. I truly wonder if the owners and kitchen staff have tasted the steak, and I don't mean that in a rude way. But I can't imagine they'd take a piece of it and say "mmmm. Authentic and flavorful." This place strikes me as the kind you would go if you sort of like Mexican food but will only order a cheese enchilada. I feel like that will make sense to some people. read more

i thought by look of building it would be a great mexican food place .. but wrong was over priced BS and they give you 2 tasteless red sauce with chips both sauce were the same so i asked for some green sauce so they brought me some decent tiny portion which i find they charged me 2.50 extra for ... found food to be nice portion size but basic taste have had much better .. just more of what i find a lot of in Reno/ Sparks blah blah blah ... never going back read more
