    Chicken Quesadilla with fries
    Brandon G.

    This is such a great addition to Batavia ever since they opened a few years ago. This was my first time back there in at least a year and it was just as good as I remember! When you want really great Mexican style food, this is the spot to go. Everything inside is extremely authentic and so awesome. They have a free toppings and salsa bar for your chips and tacos too. I went with just the quesadilla and it came with fries. We also got some chips and queso with some rice & beans to split. Overall, the quesadilla was cooked perfectly with the chicken and tasted delightful. The rice and beans are always a great side and the queso was delicious! I honestly would've just taken more chips than fries but the fries were good too. Just felt a little off with the rest of the meal but I dunked them in the queso too. This was a delicious quick lunch with excellent and friendly service. If you're in Batavia, here's a great place to go!

    I'm in town overnight and was craving Mexican. I'm glad I chose Los Compadres. I ordered 3 carnitas, 2 Lengua and 2 grilled shrimp tacos. All we're excellent! The salsa bar has several choices from mild to very hot. The hotter blends were very good. I was the only one in here on a Sunday afternoon..... $40 including a side or guacamole which was also fresh and tasty!

    Veggie Fajita, with some of the first dish already eaten.

    The food was very good, came quickly, and considering the rather generous portion sizes, it was also cost effective as well. The restaurant itself was pretty small, and, at the time at least, sparsely populated as well. Most of the service is done by the customer, with delivering the food and taking the plates away when the customers leave being handled by staff.

    Fish taco, al pastor taco, carne asada taco.

    Great authentic Mexican restaurant. The food was delicious. We accidentally got the wrong item and the workers were quick to correct it. Ambiance is casual. Great place to go for a quick eat!

    THEY HAVE TORTAS!!! That's a literally what I said when I saw it on the menu. This is the first place that I have found in Western New York that serves authentic Mexican tortas (granted I have not searched high and low). Torta means several things in Spanish including cakes, pies, flatbreads, or sandwiches. But in Mexico a torta is a specific kind of sandwich on a soft baguette. Stopped over here while I was out and about with a friend and came back the very next day for more. On day one I had a torta with Carnitas. The next day I went back and got a torta Al Pastor to-go. Both days I got chicken soup. The tortas are great! Soft bread, lots of meat, and crema and guacamole and onions and lettuce-- my mouth just watered. The chicken soup is very good too. The broth itself is very tasty and it has big pieces of chicken and lots of vegetables. Service was good and friendly too. I loved it and I will be back for many more tortas!! Y mas sopa de pollo!! Hasta luego!

    Chips, guac, salsas!

    My fiance and I found this little restaurant by happen stance. We were in Batavia for a wake and wanted to grab lunch before heading back to Rochester. Los Compadres was the only place open on a Sunday. We are so so soooo glad we stopped in. So there's literally 5 parking spots on a tiny lot. You go in and order at the counter, grab a seat and they bring the food to you. Before you settle in too much, go check out the little salsa bar. I recommend just trying all of the salsa. They have mild and spicy ones. The pico is also fresh and seasoned very well. I believe you have to order the chips and salsa to get the salsa bar but I'm not sure since we always get it. So we've been here twice now in the past month. Once during the initial random visit, and another time we drove 45 minutes here to just eat dinner and go back home. That's how much we love this place. Both times we both got the same thing! My fiance got the garlic shrimp and rice dish. The shrimp is soooo flavorful and seasoned to perfection. The beans are rich and seasoned well. The rice was cooked correctly and the whole dish is just soooo yummies. I got the beef tongue taco and the al pastor. The beef tongue was soooo tender and savory. It's my favorite. The al pastor has such great pineapple taste to it, it's so good!! This last time we went we got the michelada. This drink packs a punch and you'll pucker right up!!! I wish this restaurant was closer because it beats every other mexican places we've tried in Rochester. I cannot wait to go back!

    Two shredded beef and el pastor tacos with some delicious sauce that came with them. Don't miss out!
    Angelena R.

    I'm IN LOVE with this place. Had the shredded beef and el pastor tacos and they were super tasty. There's a salsa bar for toppings and everything was fresh. This place is the real deal and if I lived nearby, I'd be here at least twice per week. From the outside, you could pass by and not really notice it. But don't do that--get in there and get some good stuff in you! You won't regret it.

    Was looking for a place nearby to visit for lunch with a vegetarian friend and after searching yelp ended up at Los Compadres. I love the concept, go up and order at the counter, stop by a salsa bar for fresh chips and different sauces, and sit and wait until your main dish is brought over to you. I ordered 3 different tacos, 2 would have been enough, I got the chicken, carnitas, and pork with pineapple. There was a choice of corn or flour tortillas. There was a good amount of mean in the taco shell. The good: -fast service -help yourself chips (which were fresh) and toppings the not as good: -the meat was pretty bland, and very fatty, especially the carnitas and pork with pineapple -the guacamole and salsas were all very runny, and pretty bland -no cups of water, must purchase a fountain soda or a bottle of water -the tacos come just with meat, cheese is extra, as is sour cream The price seemed rather typical of a taqueria thought I have only been to a couple. The inside of the building was cute. Overall it was a fine experience, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, but would also choose other places to try or that stood out to me more before coming back.

    $55.89 toral for 1 order of molcajete and parrillada and 1 side order of rice
    Len F.

    Everything was made to order and tasty. Went with hubby and father in law. I was surprised by the price for 2 entrees and a side order of rice ($55.89 incl. 8% tip). I expected a casual sit-down restaurant like Rancho Viejo nearby, but was disappointed. Here, there was no server and no free water to drink. You pay for your food upfront, and it gets put on your table.We bussed our own table. We were there at around 6:30 pm on a Monday and it was empty. Left around 7ish pm and still empty. The sauce bar was a nice touch. There were plenty of leftovers. Overall, the food was the highlight, but with the lack of service, I would expect lower prices.

    Carne asada
    Tracie L.

    Not the best street tacos I've had but definitely the bet I've had in upstate NY! The place is fairly basic inside. There is ample seating. You order at the counter and then sit and they bring your food out, once done. There is a taco bar with chips, salsas (5-6), pico, tomato, onion, fried jalapeños. So you can snack on chips and salsa until you're food is done. My husband had the Carne Asada. I think he felt it was pretty good but not awesome. It came with 2 tortillas, rice, beans and a small avocado side salad. My son and I had tacos. Tried the Al Pastor, barbacoa and carnitas. We did not care for the carnitas at all- dry, but wicked greasy. Barbacoa was really good. Al Pastor was good as well. If I lived closer or were coming through the area again, I'd return.

    Pauline D.

    When you walk in, you order your food and drinks right there at the counter. Then, you either sit at a table or wait for take out. This restaurant is clean and staff is friendly. They have a HUGE tv which we were able to watch the football game on while eating our meal. They have a salsa station kind of like at Moes but it's already in containers. They don't have silverware, they have plastic forks and knives. When you order your drinks you either pick one from the cooler or you can take your cup to the fountain machine. The food was good but the meat was a little dry. The chips were also tasty but the salsa that I chose wasn't the best.

    Carnitas!

    Love it here! Fast service and the food is soo good. Different options than other Mexican…read morerestraints. Good margarita flights!

    What an Ordeal! We arrived at Mariacho de Oro at 8 pm…read moreon a Saturday night in Medina. We've been here 2 other times and the food was good. I was told it was under new owners now. 6 of us arrived via 2 vehicles . They would not seat anyone until we all arrived. Even though the inside restaurant was empty. Many people , full parking lot were seated on the patio. We were told immediately before being seated that for a party of 6 that we needed to pay a gratuity of 18% and NO separate bills. NO PROBLEM, this is not unusual. The inside is nice and colorful. The waitress informed us that we needed to order fast since the kitchen would not accept orders after 8:20 pm and they were closing at 9 pm. I ordered a small bowl of Sopa de pollo and Sopes with pork. It was good but pork tasted a little off for me. Hubby ordered Rib eye dinner. He didn't like the rice. 2 people had Pollo Don Gollo and really liked it. ( chicken with pineapple) Another had Tia Lola's chicken & shrimp. She liked it. Everyone was satisfied with their dinners. Plates had ample food. Then, while we were eating, they came out of the kitchen with a bucket and mop and proceeded to mop the tile floor. The odor of pine sol was so strong, you could taste it while eating. We asked them to stop. The waitress kept apologizing for rushing us. When the bill came, I was charged $1.50 more for the soup than was stated on the menu. The waitress disappeared, never to be seen to correct it. The cashier was gone so we left the money on the table. The staff at this place was very serious about getting out of here by 9 pm.

    Not to be confused with "Mexican Pradas", knock off handbags. Hidden in Albion, NY, this secret…read morespot has some of the very best tacos & sopes in the USA. Named after race-car driver Lorenzo Llamas. Luckily he doesn't use any of his infamous namesake "Llamas" as meat here. Gives new meaning to the query "como te llamas?" And to "alpaca lunch for you." Lorenzo's ex-wife is Shauna Sand, but she didn't teach him to make food this good. She looks like she's never had a taco in her life. Yet she does have a taco. It's well-publicized, everyone's seen it. But the point is, Lorenzo Llamas does not use Llamas to make his tacos. What to get: best authentic sopes & tacos this side of Steve Guttenberg's basement And: tortas are really good too Plus: real mexican sodas and coke with real sugar, plus free menudo on fridays Tips?: 5 types of salsa or more. Dark smoky red one is not always available but is the best. Yellow oily watery alcoholic one with big chunks of pepper in it is delicious. And: Amazing customer service. The teenage boy and young girl are absolutely adorable. The owners are great too. The female chefs are lovely, if very busy. They've served me at 8.57pm even though their food takes 15 min to make, and they close at 9! Fantastic. Warning: only open 3 days a week. Fri, Sat, Sun - late morning, until 9pm. Don't here too close to 9. If you do, then get it to go. If this were a high fashion taco outlet, it'd be Ralph Laurenzo's. Whereas if Mariska Hargitay owned it, it'd be Lorenzo & Order: Sope Victims Unit. But then we'd have problems, and I don't think we could solve 'um. The amazing smoky salsa does look like "bad blood" come to mention it. Not that I know much about blood. Unless I'm drinking it in the middle of the night while avoiding crosses. I can't believe this exists in WNY. Not only is it authentic, it's one of the most delicious taquerias in the country. It caters almost entirely to Mexicans. Several employees don't even speak English. It's part of a Latin grocery store filled with delights. But the true gems are the hot prepared foods coming out of the kitchen. They only make 3 things here, if you don't count the delicious, greasy Menudo they hand out free on Fridays. (1) Amazing tacos. (2) Even better Sopes. (3) Very good Tortas. While the tortas are fantastic and the bread is heavenly, I'd recommend skipping them, since (a) they cost $8, and (b) the $5 versions down the road in Medina (Monte Alban Truck) are even better and covered in Mexican white cheese. But if you do get a torta here, smother it in the smoky dark red salsa, and always ask for avocado on it. The food is from Chihuahua in NE Mexico, by the Texas border. The tacos are heaven. The sopes are better. They're similarly sized and priced (around $2 each or 5 for $7), but they're quite different. Tacos are floppy soft corn tortillas, 2-ply, loaded with bits of your meat of choice, plus onions and cilantro, then salsa, radish & lime on the side. Sopes are harder, thicker, greasier squidgy doughy chewy fried corn bases, like a mini pizza bases, topped with meat of choice as well as cream, cheese, onions, cilantro and whatever else. Similar to "picaditas". The sopes win, although both are perfect. Meat choices: Cabeza and Tripa - brain and intestines, nah. Lengua - tongue, nah, but my brother had it, loved it. Asada - bits of steak, delicious. Pollo - I usually skip chicken but the spiced, marinaded, smoky flavour here is amazing. Carnitas - really good stewed pork, give this one a try. Barbacoa - juicy, similar to Carnitas with beef. Worth a try. Pastor - star of the show. Dark, smoky, delicious marinaded pork. Asada, Pollo and Pastor are my faves. There's a reason Lorenzo's only makes 3 things, and why it's always packed. It's absolutely freaking delicious. Salsas: Green - hot, tastes a little of guac. Light Red - very hot, tastes of fire. Dark Red - hot, deep, dark, smoky and rich, by far the best one. Yellow - super hot, do not try it. Yellow with bits of peppers visible in it - hot, delicious, made with alcohol, the 2nd best. Try all 5 but be careful. They are so hot, they will burn your mouth out. Also you can get Jarritos soda (try Mandarina and Tamarindo) here. And Mexican Coke regular (1.85) and medio litro (2.50). All soda made with real cane sugar and you can really taste it. One of the best taquerias in the USA. You absolutely must get out here and try it. It makes no sense that Lorenzo's exists so close to Rochester and Buffalo - two cities with no authentic Mexican (except the home cooking of Buffalo's Valle - tacos and tortas are not the best items). Need affordable lease housing? Look for "low-rent-homes." Packet of mints just fell onto the floor? They're "low-mentos." Have an intimate knowledge of the former Fu-Gees singer? Then you know "Laurynsholes." And you know you'd better watch out. Some girls are only about that thing. But this is not that thing, nor any of those things. This is Lorenzo's.

    If you like loud, obnoxious, party-bar atmosphere- then this is the place for you. If you don't,…read moreyou will probably NOT have a good time. I came here with some family who were visiting from out of town. We wanted somewhere that everyone could eat at since we have omnis, GFs, and vegans. Love that there were options for everyone. However, my partner and I ordered the guacamole azteca which came out with cheese clearly on it and mixed in. I asked the server immediately if it was cheese and he said no, they would never put cheese in it. I had my doubts but thought perhaps it could be finely minced garlic. So we started eating. About halfway through we hit a pocket of unmixed cheese and I stopped eating. Asked the server a second time who denied it was cheese. He claims he also asked in the kitchen and they assured him it wasn't cheese. Well, it was- I got sick that night. My vegan dinner was small- no rice or beans. Just two sad little enchiladas with very little filling. There was a pile of iceburg lettuce next to them with a small scoop of pico. But all in all, the meal is NOT worth the price. The vegan options were the same price or more than the meat options, but came out with half the food on the plate. I felt this meal deserved only 1 star, but the fact that there were vegan options on the menu bumped it up to 2 stars. I will not be going back, I would much rather eat elsewhere in a more quiet atmosphere where the servers and kitchen staff KNOW what they put dairy in.
