If you're on the hunt for the BEST tacos in Tampa Bay, stop scrolling and go straight to Los Compadres. I'm super picky about tacos, and after 2 years of trying spot after spot, THIS is the holy grail. The flavor? Unreal. The tortillas? Perfectly soft but still have that slight chew. The meat? Seasoned like they whispered secrets to it before cooking. Every bite tastes like it was made with love (and possibly magic). Bring your taste buds, because they're about to dance. This isn't just food - it's a spiritual experience in taco form. Trust me, your new favorite taco truck is right here Pro tip: Go hungry, because you're going to want to order everything!

We have been coming here for years!! Food truck owner and his family are so kind and extremely welcoming. You cannot beat their taco prices on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, back in the day they were only $1 but as the economy changes so must everything else, the tacos are now currently $2.20 which is still a heck of a deal!! The quality has always been extremely consistent! And the natural juices have always been a staple for me. While there are many good taco trucks, this will always be my go to!

Local Mexican food truck with a pleasant outdoor seating area. After hearing great reviews and being in the area, I stopped by for dinner shortly before they closed. The ordering experience and service was great! They have a large menu and offer Birria Tacos only on Fridays and Saturdays. Overall, the taco meat lacked flavor and was dry. Not sure if this was because it was later in the day and freshness wasn't there. The burrito was also quite small. Food: Ordered 2 chicken, 2 Al pastor, and 1 steak Mexican taco and a steak burrito. The chicken tacos were pretty dry and I didn't love the flavor of the carne asada. The Al pastor was definitely a favorite and the juiciest. The cilantro and onion topping also just wasn't the most fragrant or flavorful. My boyfriend was disappointed with the size, lack of flavor and overall burrito. It all just didn't really hit the spot. I did enjoy the salsa verde and avocado sauce. The tortillas were good too and I enjoyed how the tacos were double wrapped. Drink: I ordered the Horchata agua fresca and when it was first served it was a bit room temp, but once it chilled more from the ice I enjoyed the flavor more. Overall I think there are better and more flavorful street tacos in Tampa.

It's been at least a year and decided to Ubereats some tacos and quesadillas. I was concerned the quality would be lacking, since the last time I had comparres. The food was better than the last I remember with minimal fat pieces on the beef. Love their quesadillas and actually think they're one of the cheesiest/best flavor ones compared to other places in all of Tampa.

One sure fire way to catch my attention is for a place to always be busy when I drive by. This Mexican food truck always seems to have a crowd at lunch time so when the wifey and I were deciding on our next meal Los Comparres came to mind. A quick drive from the house put us on site just as they opened at 11am. Our order was large since we planned for two meals each. The wife chose a taco trio for lunch. Chicken, Al Pastor and Shrimp with all the fixins' they include. She liked all 3 equally, her highlight was the fresh cilantro on each. For dinner she chose the Chicken Quesadilla which was also to her liking. I ordered her the XL size and it was massive, enough for 3 meals. For myself, I ordered 2 Burritos, Al Pastor and the Campechano and a large cup of Shrimp and Octopus Ceviche. Al Pastor is their marinated pork and that was my favorite. I got it with everything and it was loaded! I like a burrito that includes guac and sour cream with everything else. It was a tad smaller than what I expect but filled me nonetheless. I did have to pick tiny chunks of bone from my mouth however. The Campechano was a 3 meat blend and again I got all the fixin's. I did not like this one as much as the first not something I will reorder. I am looking forward to trying a couple others. My ceviche, which is available in 4 sizes, was tomato based and while it had a many of the traditional flavors it was not to my liking, the prevelant flavor to me was ketchup. The octopus was non-existant but the shrimp were very plump and juicy. It was the overbearing ketchup flavor that spoiled it for me. I tried their red and green hot sauces, they were not to hot, very manageable. My favorite was the red that was chipotle based. All in all a positive experience. I will be returning to try other things, I see this place becoming a monthly trend for me. Cost is reasonable and it's a quick easy option. The folks were friendly, the food was good and the service was fast.

I have never tried Los Comparres, since I usually hit a nearby competitor. Decided to make up for that tonight. Easy to find, plenty parking. Very friendly and helpful staff.... and communication is not an issue as they speak both Spanish and English. Ordered three Birria tacos with consomme and one Chorizo taco... and a Tamarindo Jarrito. Order was ready quickly, and I head home. Chorizo taco - I saw a previous review from Boon, that said some of the tacos he had were dry... and I agree, this chorizo was dry, flavor was ok, not great. Probably would not order again. I am used to chorizo that is greasy and full of flavor. Birria tacos - these were pretty good... not as flavorful as some others I had, and were definitely not "wet". Probably easier on the tortillas that way for to-go orders, expecially since you have consomme for dipping when you get home. Consomme was ok... not heavily spiced, but good to dip into. Salsas were good... and they give me three, Avocado, red and green. Jarritos are always good... love them. I am going to say three stars for the food... and an extra star for the service.

I was bummed when my beloved Los Comparres food truck on Armenia Ave. closed. But I was glad to hear that the Los Comparres II food truck was actually a convenient stop on my way home from work. I finally made it there and I have mixed reviews. The birria tacos were $3 each, and I thought they were very tasty, and the consume they were served with had good flavor. This location did not offer the vuelve a la vida ceviche, which was my all time favorite at the original food truck, so I went with their regular ceviche instead, described as shrimp and fish with cilantro, onion, tomato, and avocado. While the fish was fresh, it was definitely a disappointment compared to the ceviche I loved, as it did not have much flavor, and seemed very watery. I would definitely go back for the birria tacos, and I'd like to see how their shrimp burrito compares to the original truck's burritos. If you go, slow down when you get near the truck - it's easy to miss the entrance of the open gate. Also - the same in is out, so watch for leaving vehicles. Plenty of parking is available in the lot next to the food truck, and there are 3 picnic tables out front to eat at.

Excellent customer service! They're super friendly and the food is amazing and authentic! Definitely check them out!

De verdad son los mejores tacos de Tampa, este lugar es excelente no solo por la comida deliciosa sino por la genial atención de sus dueños. Los tacos de Pastor y Birria son inmejorables y los precios son muy buenos. He venido ya varias veces y la verdad no me canso, cuando pienso en tacos es este lugar.

Many years ago I discovered the original location to this gem off Armenia and was hooked. I have since moved so was very happy to see this location open closer to my parents house for when I am in Tampa. Same great owners, food, etc. They do have items that aren't listed on the menu so if you know the other location/menu be sure to ask. Like their delicious ceviche. They do Taco Tuesday AND Wednesday!!! $1.25 per taco! Yes please! They are only open those days until they run out of food, which happens often.
