We will not be back here. There were different prices just because it was to go. Then come to find out that they raised prices by $6. I understand that price is go up from time to time. The same plates we ordered before we're now six dollars more per plate. Relleno plate, taco burger plate. NOT WORTH IT. rather go to Little Anita's read more

I'm always on the hunt for good menudo, and this place absolutely nailed it. They won best in the city--and honestly, that's no lie. The menudo tasted homemade: fresh, clean, and full of flavor. The tripe was perfectly cooked--not overly fatty--and they even included patas, for an extra charge. The rest of our group had enchiladas and everyone was impressed. The food all around was delicious. We were seated within five minutes, and the service was friendly and fun from start to finish. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food done right! read more

Hands down my favorite spot for menudo! We arrived right when they opened, and as usual, the line was already wrapping around the building. Luckily, we were seated immediately and got our order in before the bigger groups... love that early-bird advantage! Coffee and water came out right away, along with complimentary chips and their spicy salsa (always a win). I ordered a small menudo to start the morning since it was a chilly one, and as always, it didn't disappoint. So flavorful, comforting, and absolutely delightful. This place never misses. If you love menudo, this is the spot. read more

Los Compadres - Small Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My cousin brought me here to try out some good NM food. I'm from California and was looking forward to sampling a taste of Albuquerque. I ordered the stuffed sopes with red sauce and carne asada. Paired that with an horchata. I could forget to add my desert which was a box of biscochitos Pecan..everything was delicious! The salsa with chips was spicy! Not too hot not too bland for my taste buds. Our waitress had a good personality and humor. Great service in my opinion. The place was very busy and ambiance was very family oriented. Thank you again for the amazing food and hospitality! read more

We are midwesterners and for the first time in Albuquerque and New Mexico. Based on a recommendation we had dinner at Los Compadres. The atmosphere was relaxed, other diners were local and from the area. The food we had was excellent and just as important, all the staff we came in contact with were friendly and attentive. Glad we went and would dine here again. read more

A great down home New Mexican spot in the heart on ABQ! We love their salsa (spicy enough but not TOO spicy), fantastic green and red sauce on whatever you like and just about any classic New Mexican dish there is! Great and friendly service as always. read more

Bad service. Rude wait staff. They forced out a couple who simply asked why they hadn't been served after almost 30 minutes. They treat people like garbage so obviously don't care about having customers or making money. The food may be okay but the way they treat people is not. read more

Visiting from NM, I drooled over the idea of returning for my big bowl of menudo! Filled with massive amount of wonderfully fresh, well cooked tripe. I'll never get anything close to it home in MD :( also got a side chili relleno & a chicken stuffed sopapilla for my daughter- both were as amazingly flavored as the menudo, well stuffed, crispy meat, smothered chili, perfectly melted cheese they also have the best table chips & salsa- another delicious visit read more

Great food at a great price! I'm a huevos rancheros girl and my guys love the steak fingers.

We've been coming to Los Compadres since they first opened on Isleta SW and we still go regularly. Located on Central NW only a few blocks west of Old Town next to the ABQ Aquarium. Both their red & green chile are always tasty, I prefer the red since the green is usually too spicy for me. We love all their dishes, but Carne Asada is always a favorite. If you want American they have a good cheeseburger too and hand cut fries. The service is always excellent and all staff are friendly. It gets very busy on weekends (so expect a little wait) and also around lunchtime on weekdays. They do NOT take reservations just an FYI. The noise level can get high during peak times, but I don't think it's extreme. OOPS, almost the salsa & chips are complimentary and I love their salsa it's not too chunky just right and I've never had a stale chip. Sorry no picture we ate as soon as the food arrived at our table. read more

This place is always busy on weekends. The wait for a smaller party isn't too bad since the service is quick. We like the homemade complimentary chips and salsa, which is a staple for a local new mexican restaurant. Staff is very friendly and always on top of any requests. My bf has been on the search for the best posole, and he may have found it. He said the small posole was very filling and had plenty of meat, which most places skimp on. It had good flavor, and the small was actually a big serving. We also shared the chicharrones, which were also good, but hoped it had bigger pieces to snack on. I mixed them on my plate, which also gave it more flavor. I had the asada plate, which is chopped steak covered chile and cheese served with beans and rice, but I opted for extra beans no rice. I could not finish my plate but took the leftovers home for a wonderful burrito later. It's definitely worth the price given the size, and I would recommend anyone who wants authentic new mexican to come here. read more

10/10!! My husband and I went here for lunch to celebrate my birthday and I was so excited to try it. Got the recommendation from a local Tik Tok couple that tries and reviews local spots so I knew going into it I HAD to try the pozole and it was the best restaurant pozole I've ever had, and second best I've EVER HAD PERIOD (Nana's will always be #1 ). I loved how they do a lot of their stuff a la cart because I'm super indecisive and I wanted a little bit of everything! I ended up getting the small pozole, 2 carne asada tacos, and a tamale. The pozole comes with a piece of toasted bread but I subbed sopapillas (small up-charge, but 100% worth it). My husband got the stuffed sopapilla plate with ground beef and beans and it came with 2 sides and a tortilla. We also couldn't resist the chips and guac, but I'm pretty sure every meal comes with chips and salsa before hand which is a win in my book! Will definitely be going back here frequently! Our server was great and the atmosphere was super authentic. Didn't have to wait long for 2 at 1pm for lunch on a Friday. Definitely my new favorite NM restaurant in town, no joke! read more

Looking for a meal your grandma would've made? Look no further than Los Compadres. The red chile is absolutely delicious -- rich, bold, and with just the right amount of heat to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. The chicharrones? Cooked to perfection -- crispy, tender, and full of flavor. And the posole... I'd swear my Granny B whipped it up herself. It's that good. Comfort food at its finest, made with love and authenticity. read more

Amazing food! We were in town and someone referred us to Los Compadres. Omg, so good to the point where I ordered a party platter to take home and freeze for later. Prices are extremely reasonable.

Crappiest service ever. We had tried to call ahead for a party of 10 for lunch/graduation party. We arrived at 1:50. Half the restraunt closed down at 2:00 and they wouldn't seat us. Waited until 2:35 then left. No offer of water or anything else. Manager is an Idiot! Very rude. read more

Hadn't been here in about 5 years. We were seated promptly and drink orders taken. Wife and I both ordered enchiladas. They were good, just not what I remembered. All in all an ok visit. read more

Feels like a local spot, not touristy which is great. Portions are on the bigger side and food is great! Being New Mexico, they like there chiles so keep that in mind if you are not used to it. Staff is very friendly and they have plenty of seating. Additionally the cost is to good to pass up, at least in compare to other states! Worth it if you are in the area! read more

The service is so good. The food is delicious! The place feels comfortable and the ambience is good.

Los Compadres - Carne Adovada Stuffed Sopaipilla a la Carte, Chile Relleno a la Carte - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am so disappointed with them! I had heard from other people they forget stuff on take out orders but I tried them anyway. I use to go here a lot and loved it, but today I ordered door dash and I was very detailed with my easy order. I ordered a tostado and they gave me NO garnish at all. Just slapped on some guacamole and left it. I also ordered a relleno plate with red and green Chile. There is NO Chile on it or on the side. So I received bland food and paid 20$ for this. They owe me a whole meal. Very disappointed and I won't be ordering again unfortunately. I really use to like this place too! read more

Tonight's #abqrestaurantreview popup dinner was at @compadresabq and eaten later than our usual time (think near closing...). We had a snack earlier in the day, so it was a "peckish but must be dinner" and "Mexican." The service and attentiveness from everyone, and the food were both excellent. The music put us in a Mexican mood. The ingredients were fresh and the dining room and bathrooms were clean. The buttered quesadilla was so satisfying and crispy, and I found myself full after eating half of it, so guess who's eating leftovers mañana? Definite 5/5. #gourmetrecovery #saturdayrestaurantreview #albuquerquerestaurants read more

Los Compadres - Compadre special (eggs, fried potatos, beans, bacon.) I asked for flooded with chile - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We've only ever offered them from DoorDash, but we plan to visit the physical restaurant soon! We've ordered the queso every single time, and it is seriously the best queso I've ever eaten, and queso is my favorite so I've tried my fair share! The food always has amazing portions, the prices are fair, and the flavor is always there. Considering we've only ordered through DoorDash, I can't speak to the service, but our orders have always been exactly what we've ask for! read more

This place is so great that I ate here two nights in a row. I loved it all. I loved both the red and green chile sauce. Next time all order more green chile. Loved the adovada. Will order a burrito with adovada and Christmas Chile next time. Chips and salsa is great. The horchata is delicious. read more

One of my favorite places to eat. Best menudo, huge portions and friendly staff. I have never had a bad experience

Reasonably priced authenticity. We stopped in after a morning at the adjacent BioPark Botanical Gardens. We found the place to be just busy enough to suggest it is well known, but not so busy that it detracted from the experience - this is often a fine line. The staff was helpful, speedy, and very pleasant. We tried a variety of local foods (we are from New Jersey) and were 100% happy with the meals. I might even suggest avoiding a mid-visit meal at the Botanical Gardens and doing the three minute walk to what is likely to be a far more interesting experience. I look forward to returning. read more

The food here is always so great!! We keep the menu in our car and when we do our annual cross country road trip we order food from here and eat it at the hotel. After about 19 hours of driving it's a welcome and delicious treat! Service is always top notch and I would have posted a picture but we always forget to take one we eat it so fast! The Beef and Papas Taco is so good as well the flautas. Of course - you can't be in Albuquerque without having chili rellenos- Christmas style of course (red and green). Definitely eat here! You'll be able to tell by all the locals and waits to get in at all hours of the day. Tip the servers please! read more
