Best tacos I've ever had. Steak was flavorful and toppings were fresh. Quick and friendly service. Affordable

I was randomly craving a torta, and baby let me tell you. They did not disappoint me. I always ask for my Alpastor to be extra crispy and my torta bread. And that's exactly what they did. My hubby got a steak burrito and we shared both. And a crispy tripa taco. Place is small but pretty spacious with enough tables to sit. It's also very clean and the man who took our order was very nice. read more

California girl here, so Mexican food has a special place in my heart and is often hard to find here in Las Vegas. I came across this spot on DoorDash and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the carne asada burrito and chicken mulitas. On the app it forced me to choose a topping for the mulita even though I wanted it plain, so I was a little nervous since I was ordering for a picky eater. I added a note asking them not to include onions--and they actually followed it (bless them!). The food was delicious, super satisfying, and exactly what I was craving. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tacos El Compita 3 - Asada tacos - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

If you're looking for the real deal when it comes to tacos, look no further. This little taco shop might have bars on the windows, but don't let that fool you--what's inside is pure gold. We tried the lengua and al pastor tacos and both were absolutely fabulous. The lengua was tender and flavorful, and the al pastor had that perfect balance of spice! You can tell this place doesn't cut corners--just honest, authentic flavor. Service was quick and friendly, even though the place was buzzing. Also a big plus: it's got super easy access to the freeway, which makes it a perfect pit stop. read more

This is our new favorite taco shop in town. It's close to us and the asada is top notch. I often pick up on flavors I don't like with carne asada (like the meat flavor not spices), a the asada here is really good. Solid tacos and we all have recently been getting the Mulitas. They're like mini quesadillas with meet, onion/cilantro, salsa and guacamole and omg they're so tasty. Definitely get one next time They also have a great green salsa. Definitely check them out! read more

Tacos El Compita 3 - Menu 2025 - Mexican Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

This is a small location but in my opinion, the small locations are the ones that are usually more authentic! My husband and I get their carne asada burritos often! They serve generously and the burrito is nothing less than flavorful! It has a little spice to it so ask for a little salsa If you don't like it too hot! If you want an authentic Mexican spot, try this place! They offer a lot more options such as tacos, mulitas, quesadillas, tortas, caldo de res, caldo de Camaron, mole, etc. but we've only tried the burritos and tacos which we enjoy! I've also never dined in. I place an order over the phone and our food is ready within 15 minutes for us to pick up. The cook and the cashier are always extremely friendly and professional! There isn't much parking but I've never had an issue being able to find a place to park. People come and go often as there is other businesses in the little area they are located. read more

5 sodas for 70$!!? Who the hell comes up with these prices definitely not worth, it I'll be taking my business elsewhere where.

Used to be the best chille Verde, now the worst, more fat than meat and two big bones, I have pictures to prove it just dont know how to put them on here, and no green sauce whatsoever, it was brown! read more

Ordered a burrito on DoorDash. Very reasonably priced and one of the best burritos I've had in town. Need to go back to try other menu items, but highly recommend. read more

Located on Tropicana and Mtn Vista area very small taco shop, but they have three locations. They said that the top sellers are tacos of Carne Asada, Mulitas and quesadillas. Today I will review 1 Taco Carne Asada. Not gonna lie, the meat is super moist and juicy. Salas is full of flavor, but not overly hot. I only tried the green one. There's a nice little hidden gem and the tacos were only 265 apiece. They are traditional tacos, Mexican ones with two tortillas on the smaller tortilla side. Taco rating 5/5 read more

Mood- What food is Calgon for the Soul So this day was already starting out rough. My alternator blew up and I had to be escorted down the ramp to the nearest parking lot. Now how amazing does life work, that the parking lot was right across the street from this restaurant. The universe gave me tacos to soothe my mind. Upon entering was quickly greeted and asked if I had any questions. I had none as the aroma was sensational. If I could have ordered one of everything I may have been inclined to do so. I opted for 8 of the Carne Asada Tacos. The gentleman being the counter asked if I wanted everything on them. I laughed and said well isn't that how it is supposed to be. He cracked up and laughed and said Muy Bien. At this point I knew it was going to be on point. Now can I say these were amazing. 100%. Can I say the meat was tender and very flavorful. 100% . Can I say maybe I didn't really share my tacos. Most def!!!! Interior is a great size. There are several seating arrangements. Music was playing in the background. Would most def recommend- pricing was very reasonable. The quality and presentation had me. The customer service was very courteous and hospitable. Location is Tropicana/ Mtn Vista - small parking lot read more

Always great food and service I am addicted to the carne asada tacos and the best Torta I have found!!!

Hola la comida es excelente. Pero la limpieza y el ambiente es un poco oscuro hay que mejorar en limpieza y tal vez una TV MUCHO MÁS GRANDE.

This place serves delicious tacos and burritos at reasonable prices. Hubby and I usually get their carne asada and al pastor which are cooked to perfection. They are generous with their taco and burrito meat portions, and I love that they offer grilled onions and grilled serrano pepper on the side. The service is always friendly and fast, and the tables are kept clean. This has easily become our go-to! read more

Amazing tacos!!!! We ordered Asada and Al Pastor. So flavorful.....The location itself was a little sketchy but the workers were great!!

Food is amazing. the people that cook the food would greet you more than the actual cashier. theres two cashier males . in on the older side that he's very kind . but theres one that is rude and very short with you. when I make phone orders he don't ever say bye and just hangs up . he has no manners . and in person he's even worse. also theres been times where I have to call at least 5 times for him to answer the phone. I've been inside the restaurant eating and I just hear the phone ring and he won't even bother answering , the times that I've seen it the restaurant wasn't even busy that's how I know he chooses not to answer . I would have liked to rate it higher but the cashier makes me not even wanna go there anymore no matter how good the food is . oh and my the way the cashier that is rude is the short one that's is bald most of the time wears a los Angeles dodgers hat . read more

Just drove into town from the PNW and Tacos El Compita3 was our first stop and the al pastor tacos, frijoles and carnitas mulita hot the spot. Delicious read more

What a great find! Driving around running errands and we come across this small taco joint last week. This place is probably the most authentic Mexican taco joint in the valley. (‍In my opinion) We have only tried the carne asada tacos, El Pastor tacos and the green chili verde. Today 10/26/18 we've come back for more! Got the green chili verde again because it is #AMAZING!! The pork is so tender it melts in your mouth. We ordered the carne asada again. Why? because they take the time to cook the meat on an open flamed grill to give the meat the little char that makes the tacos amazing. We also order a carne asada quesadilla to go because of the good reviews. read more

Really enjoyed their tacos. Came here on a Sunday night to try their food. I really loved the flavorful asada. I could really taste the nutmeg in it. I also liked that the tacos were each double wrapped. The plate comes with five of them. The staff was wearing masks and the place seemed clean. After clients left they rapidly went and cleaned off the booth. It's nice to see businesses take care of their clients. The inside is small to medium sized. Each booth is spaced out appropriately. This is done by the adjacent booth being closed. The interior is casual and nice. I can't wait to try their other menus when I come back. read more

The service can be lukewarm. My pet peeve is when the customer greets the server first. But let's get past that. They need to work on that. I imagined how it would taste and still didn't miss. read more

Such a great spot! My husband gets the lengua and tripa. I get the chicken tacos. The meat is fresh and well seasoned. Service is always quick and staff is really nice. I'm not too big on tacos like my husband is, but I always am down to grab some grab here! read more

Love their burritos and tacos. Hot sauce is on point. It's a little hole in the wall restaurant and we love it.

Ife A. was right. This place is legit. If you pay attention when driving around, you've probably noticed that there are little taquerias all over town. Tacos El Compita #3 is one place that I've passed several times on the way to the nearby Cardenas. This taco shop is across the street from the Q Mall Swap Meet and is across the side street from the slightly more well-known Mariscos Vallarta. It's most likely the diamond in the rough of this tiny plaza, which otherwise merely has a check cashing place, a smoke shop, and a cakes-only bakery. This is certainly a hole in the wall, but it has plenty of seating and is pretty clean. The employee at the register today speaks fluent English, which you can't take for granted at these joints. Most importantly, the food is awesome, the meats are plentifully portioned, and the cuisine is certainly not at all Americanized. I finally did the math just now and realized that most of the tacos are the same price ($1.39) no matter if you pick the plate of 5 tacos or if you get one taco each. That's really cheap! I wanted to try six of their eight taco meats anyway, and they were still able to fit them all on the same plate. All of their tacos are served on two tortillas, which is standard, and come with a modest amount of salsa, cilantro, and onions. More of those are available at the condiment bar, which also includes jalapenos, surprisingly spicy pickled onions, pico de gallo, and lime wedges. The lengua was my first taste, and it was one of my favorites. It's super tender and flavorful here, and it's only priced 25 cents higher than the other meats. I also enjoyed the buche about as much as my other recent favorite buche. It's fried and also bursts with flavor. The al pastor of El Compita is actually not served with pineapples. The employee said that they don't even have pineapple because it's simply not the recipe that they use. But I was converted after the first bite, which had tasty meat and marvelous caramelized onions. I couldn't stuff the rest of the taco in my mouth fast enough after that. The tripas was quite good, although I'll have to ask for them to make it a little more crunchy next time before giving my final verdict. The cabeza wasn't overly impressive, especially since I tried it just after the lengua, but I'd probably get it again also. The asada was my least favorite, but it was still enjoyable aside from the lack of other accoutrements such as guacamole that you'll find at some taquerias. Overall, I was very happy with my tacos, so I'll certainly return to Tacos El Compita #3. Maybe I'll even venture into other parts of their menu, which includes mulitas, tortas, and a few different Mexican stews. read more

If you're craving menudo, come to this place and you'll never be disappointed. It's cheap but very, very good. It has a lot of tripes and some tendon. It's all meat and doesn't even have a single hominy! We also tried ricas cemitas which we really liked. Lots of meats and big chunk of avocado. The guy at the counter was nice and friendly. The only thing we didn't like was the smell of Pine-Sol. We came in when the restaurant was about to open, and I guess they just cleaned the tables and the smell hadn't dissipated? The place is quite old, but very clean, including the restroom. read more

Taco shops been around since I can remember with price inflation and things going on it's still pretty damn good

When I walked in I saw the cook grilling the carne asada over a flame not on a flattop grill...I knew this place was legit. Probably the best burrito I have had in Vegas. Will be coming back read more
