Best

I was with a party of eight. The service was great, and I really loved the food. The margaritas (on the rocks) the best I have ever had, stronger than I usually like, but so fla...

Worst

I went to this place based on other reviews. Noone mentioned how dark it is in there or the fact that the entrance places you at the bar and there is a ramp that I am sure someon...

""!Hola... and Adios, Amigos!"" 11/19/2006

I just moved here from NoCal and wanted some good Mex. The first few times we went here in Aug-Oct of this year, it was pretty good. But tonight was our last. The food was mediocre at best: crab enchiladas with no flavor and chicken mole enchiladas that had lousy mole sauce. And there's nothing worse than lousy mole sauce--except for never being asked how you thought your food was. We wanted to comment on the lackluster performance by the chef, but after being served, no one came to our table... we had to ask for our check and it came from another server... El Compadre is probably a decent place for a magarita, but that's about it. Pros: Good margie Cons: Lackluster, flavorless food and absentee waiter more

The food is average. The highlight is the flaming margarita, so it's more of a fun place to go with friends. It gets packed on weekend evenings though. Pros: Flaming margarita Cons: Crowded more

Editorial

  • Maybe it's the kitschy-gothic Mexican hacienda decor (think moody red light and wrought iron lanterns and chandeliers) or maybe it's the flaming margaritas. Whatever it is, this Eastside favorite...
