The food is really good and it's fresh. The service was excellent. You can't go wrong with the prices. I would recommend eating here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Breakfast across from El Vado Motel. Service was a little slow but friendly enough. I had the stuffed sopapillas with carne adovado- very tasty. Kids had French Toast- the kids meal didn't fill them up though and I had to order a third one to split between the 2 of them. read more

If you know me I like my daily deals and mis Compadres over here had a great killer deal on their Carne Adovada plate! Served with some rice and beans, and damn them beans were pretty good, was left wanting more but it's probably a good thing as my good appreciates a clean air environment at home. People working there were on it, topping me off with water as the red chile got to me at times! read more

Middle of the road. Table of fifteen and all of us said the same thing. Not bad. But it doesn't stand out as great either. The carne adovada is probably the best thing on the menu read more

All the employees were very friendly and smiling at each other and hugging the one's showing up for their shift. They have the best salsa and chips. Beans and rice were good and so were the tacos. I need to ask them to fry the tortillas a little bit crispier next time. Otherwise I had a very pleasant time there with memories of The Village Inn that I had not been there since the late 70's. I will return back to enjoy the yummy food. read more

I am very disappointed having to give 2 stars to a restaurant that I used to love but let me explain... I saw this place open in a different location. It was a little neighborhood restaurant in the south valley and the service and food was always amazing. I was a regular here. They have since moved to the old village inn building on central and New York and the food quality has gone way way way down. Everything seemed way over cooked and dry. To be honest, I think they went to a lot of frozen types of foods. The prices are still decent but I am sad to say I more than likely will not be returning here any time soon. read more

You can never go wrong with anything you order at this place. Great customer service! The food here is so good. I went with menudo and wow! Highly recommend this place. One of my favs. read more

I was really looking forward to this restaurant and ordered the Menudo I guess I had high expectations but it did not meet my standards at all. Not much flavor and the meat was really chewy. My friend tried stuffed sopapillla and she did not like it at all... maybe we just got a bad batch. The service was very well though but I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

This place good Mexican restaurant known by most locals as favorite. My family usually stops her when visiting family in town. Everything is quality made. There service given by waitresses is mediocre at best though, sorry to say. Never friendly, usually have look like I don't care about you type look.. Maybe they just don't like people?? read more

Not the best menudo. Way too much posole, not enough broth or tripe. Flavor was bland...no funky tripe taste since rumen tripe was used instead of honeycomb. Very disappointing. Will not order again. $10 gone,,,I just can't eat it. Oh...and it comes with bread that tastes fine but does not pair well with the menudo. Had the same experience with another restaurant recently. Their menudo was better but again they used rumen tripe. Once I've had my back surgery I'll be back in the kitchen. My secret is to add pork belly while making menudo. It adds a level of fat and flavor. Oh, to be traditional , honeycomb tripe should be used. read more

Just like grandmas cooking! I cannot brag enough about how good the food is here, my wife and are frequent visitors and honestly Los Compadres is part of our diet! Haha Even when trying to eat healthier options. Los Compadres will be our cheat meals!!! Hands down one of the best New Mexican restaurants in our state. Great service and exceptionally good everything!!!! read more

Love the food my fiancé and I love coming here to eat. The service is amazing. The food is really great.

Love this place. I just found it by accident a couple months ago. The food is fantastic. We each ordered their #1 Combo Plate. A taco, pork tamale, cheese enchilada, a chile releno with fantastic Spanish rice and beans, smothered in green chile. Plus 2 sopapillas for each meal. Sixteen bucks and we had to eat them over the course of two days. They give you plenty for your money and everything is fresh and very tasty. read more

Wow, stopped into Los Compadres for breakfast and it was fantastic. Large portions for the price, enjoyed some OJ and perfect breakfast tacos! Finely grilled egg, chorizo and cheese dropped into grilled tortillas were the perfect start to the day (or recovery from a night out). Service was excellent once I got seated and the place was quite busy at 9am. Overall it seems as of Los Compadres is a down-home place for an honest meal of Mexican eats. Great for larger groups and everyone else. read more

The service was great. Food arrived quickly. Chips and salsa are served with the meal. I had 2 cheese enchiladas a la cart, which was a good deal as I wanted something light. Turned out it was a very good size portion. The only problem I had is with the Red Chile. It had cumin. I only like salt and garlic in my Red Chile. I will go again but I will order something different. The dining area is large and was very clean on my visit. read more

Wanted to try New Mexican cuisine since we were in the area. This was highly rated so we decided to give it a go. We were warmly greeted and all Covid regulations were in place. We were served chips and salsa immediately. The chips were very thick (not bad, just different to me) and the salsa had a kick which was great! I split the enchiladas with the little ones. Each was packed with chicken and the red sauce (got on the side) was flavorful, rich and very mild in spice. Dad got the fajitas and enjoyed them greatly. read more

Their posole is life saving after a night of going out. It is the best hangover cure.

Great place to come on a chilly, rainy day! We arrived with a group of 9 people on a Saturday around 9:20 Fair warning it gets packed Durning balloon fiesta week. It took over an hour for us to be seated. The Host was very kind, apologetic, and continuously kept updating us as to what the situation was given that other smaller groups were being seated before us. The menu is huge! Various options to pick from however I didn't see many vegetarian or gluten free options. I got the stuffed breakfast sopipilla with red chile. It was delicious, however I got to taste the green Chile and it was even better the green chili really does taste like it came out of a home kitchen. I also recommend the menudo and getting several baskets of the Sopipillas with honey! They are delicious and it will definitely make your morning. I will definitely be going back (probably with a smaller group) and trying out another item of their delicious menu. read more

Ordered takeout & it did not disappoint. I was on the hunt for menudo (most places only do Saturday & Sunday) & lucked out. I was happy to see they packaged up my soup perfectly with all the fixings, lime, chopped onions, spices & chili flakes. Didn't have to wait long at all, someone came out as soon as I parked. Will definitely be ordering again. read more

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

Not sure what happened to my favorite place to eat! 1. Lousy service-took 20 minutes to get my order in and 30 minutes to my table. 2. Food came out with cold rice, red chili that tasted canned, and a sopapilla that was tiny ($1 ea) 3. Red chili was not what they use to make and it makes me think there are new owners? The worst part prices were higher with poor service, lousy food and the worst part is we got sick 4 hours after eating there!!! Please reconsider going there. read more

We loved it! Great food!! My Quesadilla plate was delicious! EVERYONE was super nice and they attended us awesomely. The prices were also very good! Totally recommended!!! read more

Had breakfast here on the weekday. Restaurant was clean, quiet; traditional breakfast was reasonably priced and service was great. 4 Stars!

Bussers are great and very service oriented. The waiters was extremely slow in taking our order even though the restaurant was not busy. We had the Tuesday taco special. The tacos had more potatoes than ground beef. The salsa was tasteless and the tacos, rice, and beans were served luke warm. read more

Amazing Menudo, good service! My kids and I always love having the food here. Just sat from where we live

I love the chimichanga and the tacos from here. The beans are really good. Chips are fresh and the salsa has a kick. A must try if your in the area read more

Great food and service especially their breakfast and queso with cheese definitely recommend!!!!!!!!

Love this place. They are open during the Coronapocalypse. We walked in and ordered to go from a menu at the host stand. They were extremely friendly and helpful. I got huevos ranchitos which is a smaller version of huevos rancheros for five bucks. I got both red and green chile sauces and it was delicious! Great food, great service, highly recommend! read more

True New Mexican food! Very good service! Refried beans FTW. Packed menu with so many choices to chose from.

As a family of native New Mexicans we have eaten our way through this great state and Los Compadres is our #1 huevos rancheros place Hands Down without a single solitary doubt. I can't get enough of their red Chile. It's TO DIE FOR!!! Favorite place in the land of enchantment. read more

Finally got to visit this place for lunch on a Sunday.. And it was packed.. And now I understand why. The food was great, stuffed sopa w red chile, chicken salad, was great my friend who is a huge fan of flan was not too impressed by the dessert but everything else was amazing. The staff were friendly, affordable prices and great food.. Oh and.. Be prepared to get interrupted by people who want to sell you jewelry every 10min read more

Los Compadres - Stuffed sopa with chicken... And red chile - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I visited for the first time on a Sunday around 11am and it was BUSY. We waited for about 20 minutes for a table and upon being seated were promptly served water and chips & salsa. Our waitress didn't come around for another 15 minutes though, and even then it was only when I got the attention of a bus boy. Granted, they were slammed, but I wasn't super impressed with the service. Our food was delicious however, especially the red chile. I ordered the breakfast sopapilla but would probably try something else next time - the sopapilla was a bit too doughy for me. But very tasty nonetheless. Between two entrees and endless chips & salsa (dine-in only), it was a lot of food for $20. The location is super close to the Botanic Gardens & Aquarium, as well as Old Town, so I'd go back the next time I'm in that neck of the woods craving some good New Mexican food. Just maybe not during prime Sunday brunch time! read more

Place seemed clean, nice atmosphere with Spanish music. Greeted quickly at the table and were served chips and salsa immediately. Chips lacked salt, however, the salsa had excellent flavor. Not to hot but notes of fresh cilantro, onion and more make it stand out and made me want more. The waitress took our order for two Chile Relleno plates. She was a bit quick and didn't ask what Chile we would like. Red... green... or Christmas (red and green.) Attempts to get her attention was a failure. Must be her lunch time so I decided not to interfere. Hope I get red. Our food came a short time later. It was hot and well presented. The re-fried beans was seasoned well and the Chile Rellenos were well battered, cheesy yet delicate. Just wish the rice was cooked with the same effort. It was over-cooked and had no flavor. While enjoying our meals we noticed a buss girl cleaning after a customer. All seemed well until we realized that the window sill was wiped first, seats second and tables last. All with ONE wet rag!!! We're done eating!!! If it's like that in the lobby where customers can see it....how is it in the kitchen where there are no customers? Now I'm wondering if she or anyone else took the food safety course required by the New Mexico Department of Health. 4 stars until I saw the cleaning methods! Oh... by the way, I did get the red. read more

I have been dining at Los Compadres since I was a young girl at their old location on Isleta. I've always loved their food and their food at their new location on Central is amazing too. The problem I have is service. I've been to their location on Central 4 times and all 4 times I felt rushed to order and then never saw our waitress again until our food came and then never saw the waitress again. Food excellent. Service terrible! They need to change this. People will keep coming for good food but not forever. read more

I was staying in a hotel within walking distance of this restaurant, and ate here four times in eight days. First, the staff feels more like family than employees. It's not fake nice, and they'll set you straight if they feel the need, lol, but what a comfortable place to dine. Second, the daily specials prices are great, the food is a ginormous portion, and you will have difficulty finishing it. I never got to try a dessert because I was always too full after finishing half my meal. I found the amounts of heat in the salsa and the chili sauces perfect--but if you have a low tolerance, ask your server about the temperature of the heat on that day--I found it changed daily. I had renellos, burritos, asada, and adovado, and all were top-shelf. I discovered sopaipilla on this NM trip and paid the extra for two of them each visit--probably why I could never finish a meal. I found them a bit more greasy/deep fried than another local restaurant, but still delicious. A note to the staff if you're reading: You guys/gals are fabulous. Don't change a thing about how you serve or do business. read more

This place is not open, just drove 15 miles to find that out. Doesn't look like its been open for a while....

Trash. I used to recommend this place to all of my clients now I will never do that again. If I'm asked about this place I will share my story of them of how they charged me for another persons order on top of my order and how they acted it was our fault and how they treated my mom after she just asked when our CORRECT order would be ready since she'd been waiting 30 additional minutes after THEIR OWN MISTAKE and how lovely the owner acted and how good of an example she is to her own employees. I was promised a credit which I never got and now dealing with that dispute because the owner is a liar ha. Stay away . There are better New Mexican restaurants with better service than this place trust me! read more

Los Compadres is a family style Mexican restaurant very familiar with the locals. Its staff is well functioning and polite. The food is tasty and came out as ordered. Not really very warm but that is a minor concern. My family of six really enjoyed themselves. It was a first for me to have a traditional Mexican breakfast. Lots of parking but the crowd started lining up at 9:15 am. Prices are reasonable read more
