Yum! Excellent food. We ordered the lengua tacos, chimichangas and a kids burrito for the first time tonight. The lady who took our phone order was polite and our order was ready and complete in ten minutes! Everything was very tasty, but woof, that chimichanga is NO joke. You better be really, really hungry. We will definitely be making this a regular place for food! read more

I wouldn't go for a date, but it's a fabulous spot for a family dinner, quick bite, carryout or meetup with a friend. No margaritas and, I believe, no alcohol in general. You won't miss it. The food is excellent and legitimately Mexican. Great seasonings, portions and service. Prices are excellent. I tried the shrimp cocktail and salad with chicken. My friend had the Chiles Rellenos. All were top-notch. Recommended for sure. read more

The food itself is good. but the service is not that great especially when you order for pick up. You have to double-check your order before you pick up. The person who take your order makes mistakes a lot. Also, there is no room to wait for your order and it take an extra 20 min even when you go there 30 min after you place an order. They always make me wait for the food. You have to be smart and safe. read more

Jesus and his team always do a great job! The food options are endless and each thing is better then the last.

This is the best Mexican restaurant you will find in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Real Mexican food. Great affordable prices and generous portions and great taste, steak tacos here are excellent and they don't charge you extra for cheese on them unlike some other cheap places. Staff is always friendly and quick service, they should do a taco tuesday deal! Hot sauces here are great too read more

Do you love tacos? Yes? Go here. Everything else on their menu I'm sure is lovely, but i always get steak tacos & chips n guac and I'm 100% satisfied. What more is there to say? read more

UPDATE - went here for supper last night...the food was still good, but bathroom was NASTY! Urine on floor etc. very gross. Solid meal at this place Not my favorite joint, but good quality food and the prices are right. I got the steak tacos and they were very good. Meat was seasoned well and tender. The cheese, cilantro and onions were fresh and the rice/beans were very good. They start you out with some chips and salsa which I enjoyed. Just the perfect amount of heat. If you're in the Elk Grove/ Mount Prospect area give them a try. read more

Excellent authentic Mexican... service was friendly and quick. Would definitely go off course to visit again!

Hands down, this is not only my favorite Mexican restaurant, this is my favorite restaurant, PERIOD!!! I work right across the street and I have to say, these folks make Mexican food as authentic as you can get it. It used to be an old Pizza Hut and it is diagonal from the 7-Eleven gas station in conjunction with the mini mall. My favorite from here is pretty simple, steak tacos with cilantro, onion, and their red hot sauce. Best damn sauce you'll ever eat. The chips and salsa are my next favorite. In fact, everything on their menu looks good and I've tried almost all of it. This place beats any Mexican restaurant in the city of Chicago. I have given these guys so much money and I will continue to. The owner is very nice and the staff is fantastic. They work hard and enjoy doing what they do. I feel like I've cheated when I go to another Mexican restaurant but unfortunately I don't live close and now I work Midnights so it's hard to catch them when they are open. The prices are very affordable and portions are huge. You're sure to get full on any of the dinners you order. This place is far from the fanciest but it's clean and well maintained. They serve free chips and salsa when you dine in which is a steal once you see how good it is. I've never had steak so marinated and flavored in all my life. They also are one of the few Mexican restaurants that cut their steak very fine so that helps to avoid eating a big piece of fat and such. I want to make this review longer because I want people to take this seriously but I'll stop here... EAT AT LOS COMPADRES! read more

Food is delicious but the pickup service is not good. Double check your orders. Service dining in has always been good in my experiences. Can't wait to return after COVID. Highly recommend the tacos de tripa! read more

Amazing food and amazing staff! It's always home warming going in and coming out. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the place. I highly recommend! read more

We had a to go order when we opened our containers I noticed in my meal there was a PUBIC hair melted on the cheese to my fish tacos look at the last taco to see and then another piece of hair in my rice not pictured. I'm so disgusted with this if you're going to eat from there please look at your food first. Then we got chips and salsa inside the chip bag was a piece of lettuce with HAIR wrapped around it. read more

Solid food and value appealing to both Anglos and Latinos alike. We ordered a burrito and combination plate and they were both generous portions, served hot (temperature) and relatively quickly, all for reasonable prices and friendly service. The food was spicy but not particularly flavorful. There's no cilantro in the salsa and my burrito had meat filling that was pretty much meat and a red sauce. Overall it seems convenient and affordable though not particularly memorable. read more

This is my favorite place on the planet for Mexican food, bar none. I strongly prefer lowbrow Mexican to highbrow Mexican, and I've tried places all over the Chicago & San Francisco areas. Know this... this is a converted Pizza Hut. Most of the clientèle is non-English-speaking. It smells of bleach when they mop the floors (which is often). There are no margaritas. If any of that contradicts what's important to you in a Mexican dive, then don't go here. If, on the other hand, you like fresh and well prepared asada, challenging hot sauce, chips and salsa with your meal, and the occasional sound of "Gooooooaaaaaallllllll" from the TV in the corner, this is your place. Stop by some night; odds are 1 in 7 or better you'll find me here. read more

How did I forget about this place? I used to come here a lot for lunch, when my office was nearby. Plus there's just a bunch of good food in the area, like the spicy Korean tofu soup joint next door. So I usually get a Mexican breakfast, actually most times, but the other day I tried some Al Pastor and Tripa Taco. Both were delicious, but the tripe was the bomb. Still not better than my favorite taco joint, but it's right up there. My lunch crew and I decided that we'd come back here more often. Anyways, the food here is legit, they have friendly service, and the prices are great! The prices have gone up a bit in the last few years, but it's still a whole lot of food for not a lot of money. Also, get a Pina Colada smoothie. I ended up getting one last time when I went up to pay and was really glad I did. Dayam good! read more

I continue to be a regular at Los Compadres and I have learned a little... I finally figured out that the reason I get such bizarre service regarding the payment of the bill is that they do not actually want to bring the check to your table. They expect you to walk up to the counter and tell them your table number. This is after they have come to your table to take your order and they deliver the food to your table. In any normal restaurant that operates like this, they would at least bring you the bill, even if they expect you to pay at the counter. So my colleagues and I finish our meal and then stand in line at the counter. Since we are bothering to get up, we decided we might as well pay separately. Each of us in turn states our table number and what food we ordered. Then we complete several individual transactions. I understand the process, but I don't like it. In fact, I must admit that it discourages me from going to Los Compadres for lunch. It is that irritation that resulted in my updated review and the loss of a star in my opinion. To be honest, I would like to give a 3.5 rating, because the food is still very good, but service is so important to a restaurant. I will still be back for my enchiladas de mole, but maybe a little less enthusiastically than in the past. read more

I was craving a torta and decided to search Yelp for a Mexican place near my house. I hadn't had much luck with Mexican out here in the burbs, but this place is a real winner. We started with a couple of lime Jarritos and basket of chips which were fresh and came with a cup of pleasantly hot salsa while we looked over the menu. There were a ton of appetizing choices and one of the walls was covered with photos of most of them. I got a vegetarian torta (avocado, cheese, onion, tomato, refried beans) and a side of rice (yellow rice with vegetables mixed in), and my date ordered a carne asada torta combo, which came with fries. Everything was out on the table in about six or seven minutes. My rice and sandwich were absolutely delicious, and my date loved hers as well. She made a few modifications to hers and was relieved that everything came out correctly (I say this only because people will ALWAYS mention when something goes wrong). I have trouble finding any fault with this place whatsoever (wait, I found one, they didn't have takeout menus!). I can't wait to go back. read more

Hands down the most authentic taco joint in the area. Servers are friendly and service is quick. I ordered the tripas, asada and chile relleno tacos. The hubs ordered two asada tacos and the al pastor. We were in awe by how everything tasted. The tripas came out warm and crispy just to my liking. Chili rellenos was great - fluffy and full of cheesy goodness. Both the asada and al pastor tacos are so flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend this place if you want your taco craving satisfied!!! read more

Loved it!!! Definitely recommend it!!!(: The food was delicious and the restaurant was spotless! I will definitely stop by this weekend!

I come here almost once a week for lunch and I love it. The place is clean. The service is friendly. The food is great and very reasonably priced. The tacos a great and so are the dishes. Go for the shrimp tostadas!! read more

Very Good! One of the best Mexican food places I've been to in this area. It was packed when we arrived, but there was still an open table for us. It's a restaurant, with servers, but the food comes out very quickly. They bring out chips and salsa, and the chips were freshly made and hot. The salsa was good, and we got a bowl of guacamole as well. I got the huge burrito with cheese melted all over it. So big i couldn't even finish it. We got a taco plate, and they were great. All of the food and the service was really good. I highly recommend trying it. read more

Even though they don't have vegan offering on their menu, they made me delicious vegan tacos. The tortilla was amazing, fresh veggies, avocado and the verde sauce is perfect. Also, they were knowledgeable. The beans are not vegan. That information is so valuable to me. I love beans but just got the rice and the rice was fantastic. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Wow, where do I begin? I have been here many times before with my family and have always been pleasantly shocked by this place. The food is bar far some of the best Mexican I have ever had, the service is fantastic, and the restaurant is very clean. Let's get going! First, food. This is the best part of the review. I ordered the Taco Dinner and it was fantastic. All of the ingredients mixed well to make something that watered in your mouth. The Salsa here at Los Compadres is excellent. It is a bit hot but it is extremely flavorful. My Rating for this Category: 5/5 Next, the service. The Service here at Los Compadres is superior. Waiters and Waitresses are there at the door waiting to seat you and your group. Another thing is that these staffs are consistently at your table about, "Can I get you anything else", or "Would you like more Chips and Salsa?" Nothing bad here for sure. My Rating for this Category: 5/5 Finally, cleanliness. At this restaurant, this is not an issue. The bathroom was clean, the dishes were clean, and the meats and food were properly cooked adding to the flavor as I stated before. No bugs are in the food (I have had that happen before) My Rating for this Category: 5/5 So, if you are in the Mount Prospect area and you are looking for some very good, popping Mexican food, look no further than Los Compadres. The staff are friendly, it is clean, and wow that food. You'll thank me later. I would recommend this place to anyone faster than any other place I say I would recommend. read more

I love Mexican food.....so much that I don't recognize that since I moved from Chicago 5 years ago the difference between good and just OK Mexican food. Los Compadres reminded me what great Mexican really is....AWESOME burrito, great taco, LOVE it! read more

This is my new favorite place for Mexican food. We had the tostadas, Milanesa and a burrito. All delicious. And surprisingly, the French fries were great too! The chips and salsa they bring out were very, very, stale. They were not fresh at all and the server did not refill the salsa. Horchata was good. Plenty of menu options but none translated. The price is right. Nothing impressive with the ambience; it's just plain and fast-food like. I will be coming back again. read more

This place is a great local authentic Mexican joint. It has good food and the salsa is super flavorful and the green one packs heat.

It's ok. I need to go back and try something else. The tostadas were ok. Tortillas were too crispy to bite or cut.

Authentic Mexican food! A simple place with a lot of sitting and friendly staff. Our tacos were delicious and they were ready so fast! We'll definitely go back. I ordered the tacos dinner option with carne assada and pollo and they were very tasty! read more

The best carne asada tacos. My kids love their steak and cheese quesadillas too! The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

I am originally from the heart of the city. I'm part Mexican, Puerto Rican, German and Italy so I know the difference between authentic and chain and this place is most definitely authentic! The prices are so low and the food is extremely satisfying. I've lived in Arlington heights for 2 years and I finally found my gem! read more
