This is a hole in the wall behind the self car wash. A bit of a run down area which means it's gonna be delicious. As I parked a few stores down because the parking lot was full( probably from the packed restaurant) I had to step around the sleeping homeless guy. No harm no foul since it was 110 degrees, I under was hot and needed shade. The store was packed as I opened the door and looked around. Not a table was empty. The smell of Mexican food filled the area. I ordered 2 different burritos to try. I got Al Pastor and Carne Asada burritos. They came after about 8 minutes of waiting. No problem as I got all my green n red sauces during the wait. These things are huge! And they taste amazing! Very flavorful and good smokiness. I had heard the rumors and now that I'm here, they are all true. These are some of if not the best burritos in town. read more

I agree this is a bit of a hole in the wall spot but the tacos were bomb and they have pozole. I did not try the pozole this round but we will keep it in the rotation for carne asada tacos. My Spanish is terrible but we were able to order without issue. The staff were very nice. There was a small salsa bar but I didn't even use the extra sauce since the tacos were perfect (in my opinion). read more

I love this Place. I am the gringo of them all haha. Customer service is Top Notch to a team where English is their second language. This spot is known for their BEST Carne Asada Meat, Sauces and well ALL their Tacos were superb Very delicious , no fatty pieces of meat or gizzards like most places give you. Fire Muy Bueno. I have been to all 3 Locations but this spot is the OG of them all. I live up in Centennial Hills too read more

The inside doesn't have a good layout to dine in and can be a bit rundown. This would've been fine though if it had good food, but it unfortunately doesn't. Got the pastor and it was very dry and not all that appetizing, and I was also excited for some tripa tacos, but it was a letdown with the meat a bit gritty. The salsa didn't really help give it a better flavor either. The service though was pretty good, everyone a great help and very friendly. The service was honestly the only good part about the experience. read more

The tacos were good the first time we went but this time they were not good. The veggie tacos was just green bell peppers. The Establishment is old I didn't like it before I had a good taco they put a lot of vegetables in it this time no good no mas read more

Just kind of a okay place. Not the best prices were sort of pricey. probably wont go back.

Food is always good here except for this bitch named Joselyn , she had a terrible attitude and no customer skills at all. I eat here almost 3 times a week and spend over 80 dollars each time and she had the audacity to tell me no when I asked her if they could refill the salsa bar when it was empty. I don't know why the owners hire people that have no customer service or a good attitude. read more

The menudo was hot and flavorful. It was not as spicy as I would have liked, but mildly spicy. Condiments (onions, cilantro, pickled carrots and Jalapenos) were available on a cooling table. Fountain (Coke products) drinks and fruit juice were available. The utensils were plastic, as was the bowl, but the cost was better $6-4 less than other places. The background music was Mexican. I prefer the music for the ethnicity of the food. Good ambience. read more

Authentic and delicious food, freshly prepared, fairly priced. Like the self-serve garnishes too.

Staff was on point, very helpful and kind. For me, this is way better than Tacos El Gordo, Robertos etc that's for sure.

El pozole estaba delicioso... lleno de sabor, con carne tierna... la porción era realmente generosa.

Heard that the chicken Mole here was exceptionally good on other reviews. It was busy when we got there, but it was my first time trying chicken mole, and it was good. Place is definitely a hole in the wall. But the staff were great at taking the order and making the food. read more

Hidden gem that was recommended by a friend of mine. She raved about the tacos. Especially the quesabirria. So that's what I got. Let me say it ain't the best Birria in town BUT they are really Good!! Very meaty and cheesy. The consome was flavorful. I also got a large drink mixing pineapple and mango and happy to say they have Fresca (refills when dine in) on tap! Very refreshing! Service was fast. The vibe for me wasn't it so I took it to go. But otherwise I would come back to try other things on the menu and that's saying a lot for a picky eater like my self. read more

The food here is so amazing literally rated 10/10 !! I was looking around for a good authentic Mexican food spot because it's hard when u go to a Mexican food spot and it doesn't hit the spot but omg this is amazing read more

When I walked in, it reeked of cleaning solutions. It was the middle of the day so there's really no excuse as to why bleach orders were permeating through the air. The restaurant was crowded, humid, and the service was slow. I should've not stopped here because I could've gone to any taco truck for better food and faster service. Won't be coming back or refereeing anyone here. read more

Great authentic little spot! A little busy on a Saturday afternoon but to be expected when the food is this good. Friendly service makes it even better. read more

Stopped in here after having it on my radar for a few months. It's more of a fast dining/self service experience. Line up to order, stand/sit to wait for the food until it is called and then walk up to pick it up. Self service drinks, throw away your own trash, etc. so if you want service, this isn't for you. They are efficient and the line to order moves fast. The food took about 8-10 minutes to be prepared. They have 15'ish tables inside to eat at. Entrees are served on single use plates. However, the food was good and the prices are fair. The inside is relatively clean. The place was fairly busy when we got there but we did find a table. read more

First time here March 18, 2026 around 1:30pm food was good so saddened by the service and how a problem was dealt with . My three year-old daughter grabbed an ice cream. I paid for my burrito and her ice cream and open it for her before I realize that ice cream she had got was incredibly too soft to be held by the popsicle stick. I went up to the front to see if it could be replaced because it was not edible and was told by a lady at the register that she couldn't do anything I'd have to pay for another one because it was open her attitude was terrible . As a business you should stand by your products or at least get a properly working refrigerator. read more

Portion sizes are great and the food is incredibly flavorful. As someone from southern california, this place is definitely authentic. I got the quesabirria tacos which are advertised at this establishment and they were amazing! They only come in threes so prepare to eat lol! If you like a bit of spice definitely grab their red sauce and add it in otherwise it's a good choice for people who aren't into spicy food. Also the pickled radish and onions that came with it add a nice acidic and crunch to the tacos. If i'm ever back in Vegas i'm 100% stopping here. read more

Sometimes random events bring upon wonderful surprises. I pulled into a shopping center parking lot because as a responsible driver I stop and park my car when I need look at my phone. A small hunger struck me and a quick bite would satisfy it. I look up and behold tacos! One of my favorite foods that I never turn down. Little did I know this place would become one of favorite taco spots in Las Vegas. When my order number was called it was in Spanish so you know this place is authentic. I got carne asada and al pastor. Both were delicious. They were soooo good. I could have eaten 10 more tacos. The place has a Mexican vibe and look and there is plenty of seating. The prices are very affordable. I don't like the big table in front of the register. I am a tall man and it was a reach for me to pay. Also you get your food at the same spot and it's a small area to grab the tray so I think people have a hard time reaching for it. Just get rid of the table and the place will be great. They have two other spots that I will check out. read more

I had to type another review of Tacos El Compita. I just had the Chicken Mole again for like the 8th time and OMG we were all mind blown all over again. This is hands down the best Mole I've ever had. Their Mole is better than the restaurant inside the Durango Hotel, and better than the Gorditas place on Decatur which is also really good but this is the BEST as of now! If you think you don't like Mole, but want to give it another try. Tacos El Compita is the place to go!! read more

This place reminds me a lot of street tacos in LA. Came here last night for Taco Tuesday, we had carne asada, al pastor and cabeza tacos. The al pastor was good but what I really liked was yhe catne asada, it had so much flavor and the char on the meat made it even better. The cabeza was also good and had a good flavor. Will definitely comeback to try more from the menu, I saw they have pozole and saw some people eating and seem to really enjoy it. read more

After a long day, we were eager for a decent meal, but this place was a complete disaster. The area reeks of sewage, and the inside is filthy and outdated. It's hard to believe a restaurant in this condition is still open. The service was even worse. The cashier was rude and dismissive. When my husband asked for details about the menu items, she simply tapped on a picture, refusing to explain further. I asked what was in a torta, and instead of answering clearly, she gave a vague response and repeated condescendingly, "It's whatever comes in a regular torta." Each place makes them differently, so her answer was useless. We walked out without ordering. I would never come back here, and I strongly urge you to avoid this place. Don't waste your time or money. read more

Wow, what great authentic Mexican food. Staff professionally and quickly prepared the food so it was served hot. The decor was traditional. The food options were also standard, along with conventional Mexican beverage choices. Located within the strip mall off of Charleston is busy as Charleston is. It was pretty simple to get in and out of the parking lot, with plenty of parking available. I arrived a little 1, and while ordering, so many people came in that there was a line outside the door. read more

Asked for a "Cemita Poblana" & recieved a burger bun with Panela cheese, as someone who grew up in Puebla this is beyond ridiculous. The Horchata tasted like literal perfume. You can taste it by just smelling it somehow. Avoid this place at all costs. Pedi una "Cemita Poblana" y me dieron una hamburguesa con queso Panela. Un desperdicio de dinero. La Horchata la puedes probar con tan solo oler. Literal sabe a perfume. Haste un favor & come en otro lado. read more

Very tasty food and friendly customer service! A few hours after, I ate at a nearby restaurant and paid $70 for a wagyu beef dish that I didn't even enjoy or finish. Meanwhile, the $3 taco here was incredibly flavorful and delicious. Highly recommend! The place is unorganized tho, bathroom not clean. Will definitely visit again regardless. read more
