Craving for tacos and this was a recommendation from my nephew. Today is Cinco de Mayo and they're doing take out only. Food was fresh and very tasty. Chips were still warm. The restaurant was brightly lit and clean. Service was quick and friendly. I will definitely come back to try their burritos and enchiladas. read more

Taqueria El Compa - Street tacos to go - Mexican Near Me - Roseville, Michigan

I'm already obsessed and can see Taqueria El Campa being a go to place for me. You order at the window and can get dine in or take out. I was surprised because most places that have a window register don't provide service. They brought out chips and salsa, and they brought my food straight to me. It's casual and chill. I ordered a torta with campechana. It has chorizo and beef. It was amazing! The bread was toasted and had crispy edges. The ingredients were fresh. I'm craving another one while writing about it now. read more

Do you like birria? If so, you need to get to Taqueria El Compa right away to get the Birria Quesadilla. It was delicious. I ordered it as a carry out and it was outstanding. read more

Taqueria El Compa - Birria Quesadilla - Mexican Near Me - Roseville, Michigan

This is a hidden gem but has some of the best tacos we've ever had. We ordered from here the other day on Grubhub and it was so good that it had me wanting more so we stopped in for a quick lunch. We decided to eat there and they gave us chips and salsa, I'm trying to think of a better salsa I've had a restaurant and I really can't think of any better. The churros were amazing, so save some room for them. They brought out the food. Everyone was super nice. The dining area is simple and laid back which honestly is perfect because they are letting their amazing food be the star of the show. read more

We love taqueria food and their staff! My husband picks this up a couple times a month at least. The breakfast (off menu) chorizo and eggs and steak/cheese/egg burrito are amazing. The ground beef tostada is SO good, can't go there without getting one. They're always super friendly and food is fresh and made well each time. I also really like their chips. Would highly recommend!! read more

Authentic and well-priced taqueria serving up good food. We started with a very good salsa ($4.00). I ordered the three taco plate with rice and beans, with a mix of fillings ($12.50). The tacos were of good quality size and taste. My companion had a burrito plate which she liked. ($13.50). You order at the interior window and select your drinks from the cooler, then they bring it to you at your table. Service is quick a the staff is friendly. The place was very clean. read more

Food was fantastic! I ordered the WET Burrito meal with Birria and my friend got the Steak California Burrito. I've lived in Phoenix and Houston for ten years each and I'd say this is the most authentic Mexican food you will find in the Metro Detroit area. Que Pasa looks pretty legit too, but I have not been there yet. My friend said that his Steak Burrito was the best he has ever had (he's from Kalamazoo). He loved the guacamole. My food was excellent too. I tried the mild red house sauce. It was really good and had a bit of a kick. Beans had good flavor and rice was good too (no peas and carrots). Chips were fresh and salsa was not hot. Restaurant was clean, front and back of house. Guys working were nice. Simple order at the counter and eat in or dash. Breakfast served till 11. read more

This place is amazing. We always get carry out but I was in the area so I decided to stop in. Ample seating area. Order from the window and it's brought out to you. And you get chips and salsa too! read more

It's like a food truck with tables. Order at the window and then decide if you are eating in out taking out. The ale carte menu is so amazing. We had fajitas, California burrito (unbelievable in its goodness), guacamole and chips, chicken enchiladas and chicken tacos. It was a fantastic meal- simple, delicious and well done. I wish we had taken pictures before we ate.... Go for yourself you will not be disappointed. No wait staff- the crew will bring the food to you. read more

Taqueria El Compa - The chicken tacos... just imagine cilantro, pico, pulled chicken, it was heavenly. - Mexican Near Me - Roseville, Michigan

We love this place! We frequently choose Taqueria El Compa for our Mexican night. We have never ate inside as it's small with just a couple tables, but it's a cute place. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food has always been delicious and fresh. We love the Al Pastor meat the best but everything we have tried has been delicious. Would highly recommend trying this place. read more

Pretty average spot I would say. nothing bad to say about it but also nothing extravagant or anything. The food was decent, the prices were decent, I think if they were a couple bucks cheaper then you could make a case for this. Being a strong spot for some good value, but otherwise just an average spot to keep in mind. If you're around looking for some quick food. We will see. The food did come out relatively quick which was nice. read more

Don't let the simplicity fool you! The best Mexican food I have had in a long time! I had chicken fajitas and thr chicken was seasoned so perfect they could have just placed the sizzler in front of me and handed me a fork. But oh no! This is a place that (at long last) gives you enough tortillas to get through all the fixins The chips and guacamole was amazing Your order at the window and your food is practically beamed to you minutes later. Bam! Cold drinks in the fridge including coke in a bottle (is there another way to drink it?) Again simple but perfect in its simplicity! Better than all the rest! read more

This place has no business being as excellent as it is, considering it's in an unassuming strip mall hidden on Utica. Totally authentic and DELIGHTFUL tacos. Not to mention the PRICE! I got 6 tacos for $12!!! Spread the word and keep these folks around read more

I carried out dinner from El Compa today and it was fine. It's an interesting location inside. Nice and plain and simple. The people behind the counter were really nice. Honestly, that's where the 4th star is coming from. They were super-nice and gave me all sorts of sauces and salsas, etc. They did forget to give me any silverware, napkins, etc. which wasn't great, because I'm at a nearby hotel and don't have access to any of that. The food was... good. You get free chips and salsa, which is increasingly rare these days, so that was nice. The salsa is decent, but I didn't care of their style of chips. They're clearly the thick and greasy style. The veggie burrito was good. I probably would not get the fajita veggies next time. So, overall good experience. Food is probably a 3 in terms of flavor and all, but as I said, +1 star for nice people read more

With this being the most hyped Mexican place in the area I finally decided to check it out with a buddy last night. I'm not at all unfamiliar with the counter style dining. The dining room is very plain and simple, but clean. The lighting is a bit harsh. A single three panel food art piece I could swear I've seen at Chili's or somewhere once before. Jaritos and coke products in the fridges *No Topo Chico or horchata :( Not really anything to throw me off there, but ultimately I have to say the ambiance perfectly matches the food. My friend got a taco dinner trying 3 different meats and I got the quesadilla meal with the asada after asking if they think they're doing the steak or pork more justice. We also got chips, salsa, and queso. We sat down to enjoy a strange audible hell of Mexican music being super sped-up between glitching out every few seconds. Again, not really a major point of contention but still not exactly enriching the experience. Our chips, salsa, and queso came out within a couple minutes. The salsa was quite good and you're given a very large portion of it (major plus). The chips and queso were another story however. The chips were very hard, thick, and flavorless. The queso tasted decent but was just a very very basic white queso. No spec of color, melted cheese on top, or garnish to it. Not even the typical red specks from pepper jack you can usually expect. It was still more enjoyable to eat the chips in the queso to add some softness than the salsa in spite the salsa actually being good. The chips are awful. Our food was alright. My friend was most partial to the birria between that, the asada, and al pastor on his tacos. He still wasn't really impressed by anything at all. My quesadillas were also really nothing special. Super finely ground streak. Only a couple small grizzle bits to spit out. Flavor on them was decent. Tortillas were good, but again, average-good. I'd say the same for the cheese. The rice and beans were some of the most simplistic looking I've ever seen. Fresh and decent flavor in their simplicity, but very bland behind expectations. Anyone calling this authentic Mexican has never left Roseville. There wasn't a hint of a single authentically Mexican spice in anything we tasted. This place was really close to calling it 4 stars and at least good. The food overall really isn't bad at all and there is an element of quality to the ingredients that meets fair in pricing. Even in their blander simplicity the tacos and quesadillas are at least on the better end of average. There's just too many shortcomings in the small details that force me to knock it down a peg. read more

Just came here to say that after trying numerous other Mexican food places, this one is still the top choice. The carne asada quesadilla with pico is melt in your mouth delicious. I can't say enough good things about this place. I usually order from DoorDash or do pickup and everything is always hot and fresh. I forever love this place. read more

Just GREAT food. Everything I've had so far has been terrific. burritos are HUGE! I highly recommend this establishment.

Authentic Mexican Flavor & Unmatched Consistency! Being Mexican and originally from California, where amazing Mexican food is everywhere, I've struggled to find truly great tacos and salsas here in Michigan. We used to drive 40+ minutes to Mexican Town or Troy just to get our fix--until we found this gem! At first, we were cautiously optimistic. Our first visit was wonderful, but we've been burned before by places that start strong and then disappoint. But after multiple visits, I can confidently say--this place just keeps getting better! What we love most is their consistency--something that's hard to find. The meats are always cooked to perfection, never overdone or burnt like at so many other places. Their tortillas taste homemade, thin and fresh, not bulky or overpowering. And let's talk about the California Burrito--WOW. It's the closest thing I've had to the ones from L.A. that I miss so much. Every bite took me right back home! The staff is always warm, welcoming, and attentive. On our last visit, I asked the cashier if they had any really spicy salsa, and he just smiled and said, "I got you." Let me tell you, they delivered--the perfect balance of heat and flavor that instantly won our hearts. This is officially our go-to spot. If you're looking for authentic, consistently delicious Mexican food, this is it! read more

Clean, great service, and best of all authentic fresh taqueria fare! One of the best taquerias in town.

I placed order over the phone. They were really nice, and quick. They truly have the best tacos. I love the salsa that they give to go with the tacos. Just the right amount of flavor and spice. read more

Decided to try El Compa out for lunch last week as I work about half mile away. Got a quesadilla, loaded up with all the extras. Wasn't too bad, and permitting you load it up with everything, the cost is justified then. Also got a carne asada burrito. Wasn't bad, but they rely too much on the beans as the filler. I would have preferred much less refried beans and more rice or even black beans. The burrito to me was a bit too much on the expensive side given that fact that they use cheap refried beans as the main ingredient. So wasn't bad, flavor was good, prices are a little high in my opinion though. read more

They are open until 8pm tonight. No dine-in at all. Guess it wasn't clear when I asked about how late their dining area was open for ahead of arriving. We ordered 3 chicken tacos, one chicken quesadilla with all toppings except for sour cream and tomatoes, 1 chicken tostada and chips and guacamole. Chips and salsa comes with the meal. We bought two mandarins after the order was paid. The two mandarins are $4.47. The food order was $18.55. We ended up eating at the Rotary Park down the street on Utica. It's a bit of an inconvenience having to find and luckily there's one close by too. The bees are loving the mandarin and swarming us, along with bees. How fantastic. The quesadilla tastes good, it's small. The red sauce enchilada is dry as far as sauce does as is the meat. The tostada was bland and tasteless. We only got one bag of chips, the woman told us we would get two bags since the chips and salsa comes with the meal and we ordered chips and guacamole too. The guacamole was okay, bland as well, not much flavor either. The hot salsa was bad, it had good heat to it. The chips were crunchy and decent. The quesadilla was the only notable part of our meal. read more

Everything was on point. Will definitely be back to this place. Authentic Mexican for sure.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I've been wanting to try another local restaurant recently and this one did not disappoint! Taqueria El Compa is a locally owned authentic Mexican restaurant. They offer a wide range of options from tacos (with various choices of meat!) fajitas, chimichangas, enchiladas and quesadillas. We called for our order around 815pm and they closed at 9pm. We were thrilled they were still accepting orders and loved their great customer service over the phone. The kind worker was so helpful in helping us decide on some options. My boyfriend and I each opted for the taco meal, which comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. The portion size was perfect for $10! He had the steak offering and I opted for the chicken taco. The flour tortillas were delicious! The perfect amount of softness. In the words of my boyfriend "THEY WERE SO DAMN GOOD!" The ingredients in my taco selection were also amazing and so fresh. The lettuce and cheese was a great addition to my seasoned chicken. The rice and beans are a great pairing to your meal. The rice is easily one of the best I've had at a restaurant. Full of flavor. We ordered the chips and queso as well. Lots of chips and the queso is spicy, but not too spicy. Great balance. Overall we will be returning! You can truly tell this family loves their restaurant and takes such bride in their work! Highly recommend stopping in! read more

This was my second visit and the food was even better than the 1st time. I highly recommend the chicken buritto.

Short answer is this place is yummy. Service was fast and friendly. The carry out was well packed and included silverware. The bonus goes for them adding free chips and salsa. Let's talk about this food, oh mama. I was eating in the parking lot when I opened the quesadilla container and let out a loud "Oh Yeah". It looked so good. Fantastic quesadillas. Outside is crisped up and packed with goodies. The tostada was also very good, but the quesadilla was an absolute star. The salsa was excellent, fresh and very tasty. Oh man, I can't even believe I was deciding between a sub sandwich chain and this flat out delicious Mexican. read more
