Food was delicious and plentiful. Waitress was very attentive, didn't have to ask for anything. My husband ordered fajitas mixed which was a large amount of food, it came with a side of rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream. I ordered the molcajete mixes which also came with a side of rice, beans and home made corn tortillas. Nothing was rushed, very chill atmosphere. Would recommend.

Dark moody space, feels like a cantina with small booths and very loud. Great friendly and attentive service by handsome David. Best dish was the shrimp aguachile. The garlic shrimp were on the small side and not garlicky enough for my taste.

It’s been years since the last time I came here. Now we’re adding this to our stop every time we visit from Utah. We sat at the bar booths with our kid. Ordered a couple of margaritas. Food came in a very timely manner. Every one of them was delicious. Good vibes, good food. Soooo good! Will definitely come back. ☺️

This place is amazing all the way around! I did not have high hopes given what you see from the street and plus it is under construction. Do not let this fool you however. There is plenty of parking in the rear. The inside is not undergoing construction. We had the complimentary chips and salsa for our starter. I've had much better salsa in other places but would rate this one a 6 out of 10. It wasn't stellar but it was good. My wife and I decided to split our traditional chimichanga. This one came in two smaller chimey's that were each cut in half. When I tell you it was delicious, that is an understatement. The way that they flavored the shredded chicken was divine. Even the rice on the plate with seasoned in the way I've never tasted before and was very, very good. The refried beans added nicely to the completeness of the dish. For you diet Coke lovers, know that they have Coke zero and not diet Coke. With everything being so good, you would think there was a place where they skimped. Well I found it. If Mexican food runs through you like many people, you may choose to visit the bathroom afterwards. Just know that the toilet paper is darn near sandpaper in quality. You have been warned!

Los Compadres in Long Beach is definitely worth a visit if you’re craving good Mexican food. We loved everything we ordered! The enchiladas were a highlight — the Suiza was hands down my favorite, rich and flavorful without being too heavy. They also made a special veggie fajita grill that was fresh, colorful, and cooked perfectly. The ceviche was another standout — fresh, tangy, and well-seasoned. I also tried the tamarind fresca, which was delicious and super refreshing alongside the meal. The only downside was the wait — it took quite a while for the food to come out. Luckily, the fresh chips and salsa kept us going. Their roasted salsa especially was amazing — smoky, spicy, and packed with flavor. Despite the slow service, the food was absolutely worth it. I’d definitely go back when I’m not in a rush!

Service is always great here, they sit you very quickly and are always welcoming and attentive. Food is amazing! I’ve had multiple dishes here and each one has been delicious. Definitely recommend this place for a date night or family night!

Best in Long Beach food dranks and services great. Got the chicken super wet burrito bomb, Henny pineapple margaritas (not on the menu) bomb chips and salsa bomb.. the Guacamole needed some work taste like more lemon/lime not enough seasoning but we made it work.

What a great place to eat, had the seafood soup & fajitas! The food was awesome! Our waitress (can't remember her name) was fantastic, been working there for 14 yrs! She loves her job & it shows. Super knowledgeable about the menu. Would highly recommend this place!!

Los Compadres has me in a culinary chokehold and I'm not even mad about it. Their steak & shrimp fajitas are basically my fav, and the combos? Chef's kiss. I've never had a single bite that didn't make me want to high-five the chef. Now let's talk about the real MVP: the whole beans. Perfectly salted, never mushy, and so good they deserve their own fan club. I've been known to order double beans just to take them home like precious cargo.

First time here. Was excited by getting some garlic shrimp. Sadly they were on the small side and not garlickie enough. The aguachile was delicious though. I'd definitely go back and get the aguachile. David our server was friendly and attentive. Handsome too. The space is dark, moody and very loud.

Finally got to experience the magic of Los compadres! Parking can get tricky-but the lot in the back had a bunch of spots. We came early (5) so that had a lot to do with finding parking. They are open during construction as of 6/12/25. Walked right up and got seated by a really friendly hostess who went through the menu and the best sellers. Our server was super friendly and really attentive! The ambiance is festive (a bit loud) and good for families. Feels like an old school restaurant with big red booths and a cozy vibe. Happy hour is from 4-7!! Kinda amazing. I couldn't get enough of the chips and salsa. The beer was soooooo cold and delicious. Grilled fish tacos might have been my favorite. Ceviche was a Big portion-crazy how much you get for happy hour! Also got a basic side salad and a chicken taco. Trea leches cake was inhaled! I'll be back!

They're undergoing renovations but still open for business! Love that they have their own parking because parking in Long Beach is tough. Service is always great and food is even better! Consistently delicious every time.

I decided to eat some Mexican tacos and beans after my Friday classes. It's been about 5 months since I got there on Christmas holiday. I got shocked as soon as I got to the entrance. Blocked! What??? I didn't know they were under construction. I tried to check if the restaurant opened or not thru behind street. The sign said we open during construction. The parking was full, hard to find parking spot for us. How frastrated!!! And I waited for 20 mins at the bar until they text me. What a mess!!! Their happy hour is changed. Not any more from 3. So new happy hour starts at 4, ends at 7. Some happy hour menus are $12. Drinks are $8. I ordered 4 flautas w shredded beef for the first time on happy hour menu. My hubby got 3 crispy tacos w shredded beef. We already stated drinking house Margarita and more marguerita, bloody mary.... I was finally relaxed after long business trip. The service was good, but I don't understand why they don't open in the middle of dining area at this point. So many empty tables.... I had good experiences all the time but today was not the same. All mess due to the construction, no parking, I didn't like happy hour flauta menu. So dry, any beans, any extra cheeses....

great spot! I always make sure to bring family and friends here when visiting from outta town as well as special occasions. Needing a nap after our two frozen mango margaritas, chips, salsa, carne asada and chicken tostada salad. We love this place. Always great food and excellent service every time.

Authentic Mexican restaurant that is a staple in our home. Staff are ALWAYS kind, welcoming and attentive Food is authentic and always made well with care. Drinks can be on the sweeter side depending on what you order but they have a great pour! Price is very reasonable. And atmosphere is lively but feels elevated because the dining area and bar are nice. Great for groups of all sizes with large table accommodations

In the mood for Mexican caldos we looked up "best caldo de res in Long Beach" and many people's lists included Los Compadres, so we decided to check out their non-downtown Long Beach location. Though the exterior is under construction at the moment, the parking lot and restaurant are still open. We walked in and it was nicer than I expected, with a bar area plus a larger main dining room. Service was friendly and attentive. The menu is extensive and I took photos. We chose caldo de res and also pozole. Both soups were large and very tasty, though when we make caldo de res at home we usually include cabbage, chayote, and sometimes ejotes (green beans). We also ordered tamarindo agua fresca and pink lemonade to drink. The pink lemonade was very concentrated and sweet, but the tamarindo agua fresca was nice and tart. I am admittedly a totopos (tortilla chip) snob and like them thick like in Mexico; the complimentary chips and salsa at Los Compadres were hot and made fresh but the chips still had the thin texture with specks that are not my personal fave. To finish, we had tres leches cake for dessert, which came drizzled with chocolate and was a decadent end to the meal. Prices were on the higher side but portions were generous. Overall, a solid establishment for Mexican food in Long Beach!

Been coming to Los Compadres since 2010 and it will always be one of my favorite places to dine. Authentic, consistent, good quality. Staff has always been kind. I usually sit in the bar area. Ample seating. Gets very busy during happy hour and evenings so plan accordingly. The grilled fish tacos will always be my go to and of course, a house margarita. Honorable mention for the Micheladas- hits the spot every time.

Parking was a little hard because of the area and the time I went. It's in the back of the restaurant and it's under construction. We were seated right away. Service was excellent. Food was very good. Place and bathrooms are very clean. It's a little pricey.

One of my favorite spots when I want Mexican cantina food in Long Beach. Service is excellent and the food is very good. Very fresh guacamole and 2 different salsas.

Tried this place on a weekend night. It was rather full. We sat at the bar and it was faster seating. I Ordered a wet burrito with half green and half red sauce so that I can try both. The sauces were good but preferred the red sauce, it was tastier and had more flavor than the red. As soon as I dug into the inside of the burrito I noticed that the carne asada was cold. After that I just wasn't inclined to finish it or keep eating. I get the place can get pretty busy but it is still unacceptable. I love the chips and salsa they give when you get seated. The drinks were tasty too we ordered chamoy micheladas and margaritas and both came with a tamarind candy. I would probably be back on a less busy night to give it another chance and would probably tell the waiter I would like my food extra hot.

Los Compadres has been highly recommended to me several times. I have been there twice now. This is a busy (and noisy) large restaurant. The service is prompt and efficient, but not particularly friendly or welcoming. The food is good, standard Mexican fare. Margaritas are good, but not great. Prices are fair. This is a nice, local place for a pretty decent Mexican meal.

We had a fantastic lunch at Los Compadres! The Caldo Mixto, packed with shrimp, fish, and octopus, delivered an exceptional depth of flavor. The Gobernador tacos stole the show; crispy tortillas stuffed with tender shrimp sautéed with bell peppers and melted cheese created a perfect harmony of textures and tastes. The fish, shrimp, and octopus ceviche was generous, fresh, and delicious. The Fajitas de Res, with tender steaks, onions, and peppers, had a beautiful presentation, great flavors, and was absolutely fantastic. I also recommend requesting the salsa casera--a smoky and flavorful salsa made from charred tomatoes and peppers. Every dish we've tried so far has been absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this restaurant!!!

Los Compadres is such a vibe. I came here on a Friday night it seemed like everyone on this side of town was here celebrating their birthday. They don't take resys, but they do have a bar adjacent to the entrance so you can grab a drink while you wait. For my entree, I ordered enchiladas - shocker, I know, but the enchiladas suizas pechuga de pollo a la plancha ($22). These are grilled chicken breast enchiladas in a creamy green sauce and to be honest, I will never not order enchiladas suizas again. The creamy green sauce is fire. It's not revolutionary, however, the creaminess was unexpectedly very good. It's especially delicious when mixed with the rice and beans. Ten out of ten. What was shockingly very good was the cheese in the molcajete mixto ($36). While I did enjoy the chicken, steak, and shrimp, the real sleeper was the unadvertised pieces of hard cheese hidden in the mix. Texture wise, it reminded me of halloumi and boy was it so good wrapped in a tortilla with rice and beans. Delish. Did I mention that Los Compadres serves breakfast all day?! That detail alone has me wanting to come back.

We came in during the peak lunchtime on a weekday at around 12 PM. Happy Hour was from 11 AM - 3 PM (?), so there was a discount of a few dollars (~$2) compared to the original menu. Parking in this restaurant can be a bit tricky, so we had to circle around twice to find good parking. They served FREE chips and salsa (not spicy) before you order. If you order the right meal, they serve home made tortillas. I ordered the Chicken Enchiladas Rojas (~$16) and the serving size was gigantic. Ingredients were fresh, serving was quick and professional, and food was amazing. After paying, they gave us lollipops like the ones you'd get after a doctor's visit. One of the best Mexican restaurants out there. Summary: - BATHROOM. There was one male and one female bathroom. - CLEANLINESS. Very clean and organized. The restaurant interior lighting looked a bit dark. - COSTS. $ Very well priced for the quality and amount served. - CUSTOMER SERVICE. The staff were very fast and professional. - FOOD QUALITY. The ingredients are fresh and didn't feel like any had been sitting out for too long. - FOOD QUANTITY. Very large-sized portion. - WAIT TIME. I went in around 12 PM, which is generally peak lunchtime. The restaurant wasn't full. Quick service. 10 Minute wait.

I've come here for birthday dinners with my favorite people for years and it's never disappointed. The staff is great (Sandra and Adal) and adjusted to a last minute seating change quickly and calmly. Even when there's a wait you know you'll be taken care of. The food is delicious and the drinks are well poured. It's a bit loud but it's fun to people watch too!

Best Mexican in Long Beach. Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. The happy hour drinks and warm chips are enough to bring you in and keep you happy but you'll also want to try these entrees. The plates are big, hearty, delicious, and comforting. We left full and happy and excited for the next visit.

With historical presence in LB, their food has preserved OG quality as well! Over the years, we have eaten many quality dishes here....one of my favorites is, the BIRRIA Super Burrito with green salsa on the side. The salsa is served warm and delicious. The burrito is stuffed with tender beef and is a delight, even the next day! Some other favorites are Fajitas - any meat, Hard shell taco plate, and ceviche. All amazing! 100% Recommend!

I will start off by saying that the drinks are amazing. Sometimes of the best shots and margaritas. The food is pretty good. Some things can be hit or miss. There's plenty of seating inside and the service is very fast and efficient. Overall solid experience. One of my fav Mexican spots in Long Beach

Los Compadres is one of my favorite modern Mexican restaurants in the area. They offer plenty of choices and everything is made with so much flavor and goodness. I have heard good things about them and I was not disappointed. I came for lunch on a weekday with one other person and we were seated right away. It was busy but there was no wait. We were given complementary chips and salsa. I liked that they had seafood options to vegetarian options. I went with the Carne Asada Chilaquiles which was recommended to me by the waitress. You get the option of choosing red or green sauce and she recommend I get their green sauce. I am not usually a fan of green sauce but it was super enjoyable and did not disappoint. I was surprised how good the carne asada meat was. It was cooked just right and seasoned perfectly. The person I came with also enjoyed their food. A plate is about $20 here which I thought was fair. Portion and dishes are large. Our service was excellent and foods came out quick. The waitress was super nice and helpful. I like the vibe of this place and can't wait to come back.

I really wanted to be blown away with their food. My guest told me that their food was really good. I'll get to that in a moment. Walking in the restaurant there was a lot of servers ready to help that was nice. The restaurant was a little dark, but I can understand people were watching the game. Our server was super nice. He was friendly. He was on time. And there was no so shortage of servers ready to help if they had to. All Los Compadres employees of this restaurant that I noticed were really busy (the restaurant was full of guests) there was no chitchatting, there was no hanging out- they were working! The ambience was fun a lot of cheering for the Dodgers game and they had a happy hour. The margarita was lit- LIT! Talk about tequila overload- not complaining. Now to the food like I said, I wanted this to be an awesome experience food wise and it just wasn't. It's like every other Mexican food place I've had. Was it good? Yes, it was awesome. Was it great? Kind of, was it exceptional? Not really. Prices are kind of what you'd expect for today. Anything between 18 and 24 bucks. The parking situation was bad, horrible. For that size restaurant they really need a bigger parking lot. Would I go back? Definitely! On a scale of one to ten with 10 being an incredible experience I would give them a 7 1/2 maybe, maybe a 8..

I give this restaurant 5 stars because I have been passing this hidden gem for a few years and the parking lot would always be packed. I never bothered to look at the name and research the type of restaurant. A couple of months ago I decided to look them up and read so many good reviews and also at the same time realized its a Mexican restaurant. I have been twice already since then. My goal is to try something new every time. My first visit I ordered the Enchiladas Suizas, which was soooo delicious. The refried beans had me wishing for a double order. Definitely homemade. I love a good refried bean! My 2nd visit I tried the Molcajete Mixto. I have never heard of it before, but I saw another review on it, so I researched a couple of yt videos to see how it's made and was sold. The smokey charred flavor of each meat along with the added spices was just as delicious. It was served with flour tortillas. It puts me in the mind of fajitas .. but different. That salsa in the middle adds to the flavors. My next visit I just may try some chicken fajitas for comparison.

Great place for great Mexican food. I brought an out of town friend who is pretty picky here and she loved it. I had the fish tacos and she had the carnitas and we both loved our dish. I'm pescatarian and I feel they had plenty of options for vegetarians/pescatarians. Also, their chips and salsa are delish and that to me means everything.

Wanted to take the family to a new spot thankfully it wasn't busy as usual. That's a plus! Started with the queso fundido and their house salsa all had great flavor. Took awhile to just get napkins and forks and that's kinda hard with the greasy food haha but hey still worth it. Once we got our entrees the only down fall was the shrimp plate (camarones mojo de anjo) the shrimp was very old smelling so that was the only one that wasn't eaten, the salad was also forgotten, server was a little MIA but we made it by without him. Overall family friendly restaurant, decent food, portions and prices.

We were excited to try Los Compadres but we're pretty disappointed. We were told the wait was 20 to 35 minutes. We were sat a hour and ten minutes later. Drinks were good but pretty pricey. I would recommend the house margerita . Seriously strong. Service was pretty good. Our food took a while to arrive. My plate came last which was fine and I assumed would be really hot but it wasn't. Beans must have been waiting for the tacos as they were cold and cheese had hardened. The birra tacos were good but nothing crazy. My husband had cilantro shrimp but you could barely taste the cilantro. Everyones plate were okay but nothing stood out. All in all it was just okay.

one of my favorite authentic Mexican restaurants in Long Beach! Lots of options to choose from. We got the Chile relleno and chicken enchilada which was great and Chile Colorado which was also good, but a bit different from what we're used to. It had more of a tomato paste base rather than a chili base. Their beans and chips were great and good enough that I'd just come back for those! Despite being busy, we had no issues with service and lucked out with getting a table quickly. It wasn't too noisy inside either. Parking is awful but that's just how Long Beach is, especially this area.

My wife recommended here as an authentic Mexican restaurant. We went to have Sunday brunch around 10. It was just opened and not many customers inside the restaurant and the parking lots. I likes the ambiance first, very dark, especially diamond glasses in our booth. I don't know why I do like the diamond glasses like our garage door window. Second, the classic magarita for the start, tastes sweeter and stronger. 5 stars. Third, my entrée, hard shell beef taco was yummy. My wife got the chimichangas chicken and beef. I tasted one bite and knew sooooo good. The service and food are 5 stars. The staff asked us so many times, how's going, do you need anything else, in a row. Haha...too much for us but not too bad. The price is $$, depends on what entrée. Worthy to order and enjoy the taste. Parking is OK. The only concerned part is the Exit. Not safe, blind side due to the street parking cars. Or do not park at the last exit parking spot. Causes possible accident. I asked the server, special holiday hours. They open both Christmas eve and Christmas day. Good to know because we planned to go there on Christmas eve. I noticed the happy hour, 3 to 6, Mon to Fri. My fave taco is only $4. Chicken quesadilla is $12. Magarita is $8. I can tell this place is good for the large group of parties and a couple like us, loving the real Mexican foods and salsa.

Food is delicious and everything is fresh . Staff is attentive and are constantly checking up On you to see if you need anything else . I ordered Ensenada style fish tacos and they were delicious . My husband ordered a carne asada wet burrito but he did mention that the enchilada sauce tasted like It was canned . I ordered an horchata and it was so yummy and refreshing just wish their glasses were bigger because yes they are pretty but they are too small. The ambiance was very nice . Overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend.

Very tasty Mexican food. I don't like eating spicy foods so this is what I order when eating enchiladas, whenever on a menu. Usually I have shrimp but I went with their original option: chicken enchiladas suizas with a side of beans. The green sauce is mixed with sour cream, which was very tasty. Very rich. Different than other places I've had. And beans were on point! Our server. Brenda was very awesome and kind even though it was very busy. My boyfriend had the fajitas mixta, Chicken, shrimp and beef. He was very satisfied! Just a bit loud for me, hard to have a conversation due to loud music and all the chatter of a busy Friday eve.

It's been awhile since dining here, happy to say was still good as always. The chips and salsa are really the best, I prefer then thin ones and these are perfect and warm. The food was excellent and service was great. It was nice and not too crowded as we went for lunch. Music was nice and not too loud, we will be back.

This place is always packed and I've been wanting to try it so we finally did on a Saturday night. We were lucky and only waited for about 15 minutes. The place is loud with music and just employees bustling around. Service was good. Everything arrived in a timely manner. The food was good but not something so special to wait an hour for. There are plenty of other Mexican restaurants and at lower prices where one can get the same thing or even better. Refried beans were too salty. Queso Fundido was yummy. Chips and Salsa were a great start. Enchiladas were good. Prices were mid range to higher priced for what you get in my opinion. Will i come here again? Maybe if a group of people wanted to go but i don't think i would come again for date night. It's nothing special.

A friend told me about this place. It is delicious. Everyone loved their food, we shared with everyone because the food was delicious. Mixed fajitas, carnitas tacos, chilaquiles, mole cheese enchiladas, chicken mole enchiladas, fish platter and bacon wrapped shrimp. Just authentic and servers are so kind and accommodating. Everyone left happy and full. The prices run $25-35 per plate. Decor was nice, Upscale Mexican food

I used to love this place pre pandemic but then something happened and they decided to massively raise their prices. This is a family style Mexican restaurant... it's not some bougie place... yet now you pretty much can't order a single entree for under $20. Most dishes are even more expensive than that. It's like guys, your business is on Anaheim street across from a McDonald's and a food for less... Maybe dial back the prices a bit?

June 2023 Yummy! Came here for a farewell lunch/dinner with my colleagues. We really enjoyed the variety within the menu and family friendly environment. Service: 5/5 We were a large group of 12 to 15 and they worked quickly to accommodate us when we called ahead. We were all comfortably seated and quickly served. Our waiter was competent and thorough. We all ordered different things, but had one check. Prices: 5/5 Prices were fair, portions were large, and taste was also delicious. Ambiance: 5/5 It's definitely a family environment and I like that the bar is set separately from the dining room. Taste/Textures: 6/5 I had the Verde pork; which was absolutely delicious. Chef's kiss. We tried the queso con chorizo, a bit stringy, but fun to eat. We tried the guacamole as well, delicious. Afterwords I tried the infamous candy shots with a couple of my colleagues. It wasn't for me, but was fun to try. Value: 5/5 Definitely overall worth the prices ! Bottom Line : This place is a must try for authentic Mexican cuisine, and they are highly accommodating for larger crowds. Thank you so much! Junio de 2023 ¡Delicioso! Vine aquí para un almuerzo/cena de despedida con mis colegas. Realmente disfrutamos de la variedad dentro del menú y del ambiente familiar. Servicio: 5/5 Éramos un grupo grande de 12 a 15 y trabajaron rápidamente para acomodarnos cuando llamamos con anticipación. Todos estábamos sentados cómodamente y servidos rápidamente. Nuestro camarero fue competente y minucioso. Todos pedimos cosas diferentes, pero teníamos un cheque. Precios: 5/5 Los precios eran justos, las porciones eran grandes y el sabor también era delicioso. Ambiente: 5/5 Definitivamente es un ambiente familiar y me gusta que el bar esté separado del comedor. Sabor/Texturas: 6/5 Comía el cerdo Verde, que estaba absolutamente delicioso. El beso del chef. Probamos el queso con chorizo, un poco fibroso, pero divertido de comer. También probamos el guacamole, delicioso. Epílogos probé los infames chupitos de caramelo con un par de mis colegas. No era para mí, pero fue divertido intentarlo. Valor: 5/5 ¡Definitivamente vale la pena los precios! Resultado final: Este lugar es una visita obligada para la auténtica cocina mexicana, y son muy serviciales para multitudes más grandes. ¡Muchas gracias!

So today when i was in Long Beach and I had the pleasure of dining at Compadres Mexican restaurant, that truly lived up to its name. I walked in, and I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant had a great vibe and instantly made me feel at home. The waitress sat me down and I was looking at the menu they have many items on the menu to choices from. I decided to order The chicken steak and shrimp fajitas with a unsweet iced tea on the side. The iced tea was made perfectly so refreshing. I must say the service was so fast within minutes of ordering my food it was at my table in front of me within minutes I was really surprised. When the waitress brought my fajitas the room smelled of sizzling fajitas and deliciousness. I'm so glad that I ordered them they were perfectly cooked to perfection and came with a side of tortillas that were warm, soft, tasted like butter and no doubt in my mind that they were freshly made right then and there, and another thing to add the portion size was generous! What stood out to me the most was the exceptional service. My drink was never empty as the waitress would always come back to check in and see if I needed anything. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Additionally, the parking was quick and easy, and the restaurant was just a short few steps away. This was a huge plus for me as it made the whole dining experience hassle-free. Overall, I highly recommend Compadres to anyone looking for delicious Mexican cuisine served with exceptional service. I can't wait to come back and try more dishes from their menu. Thank you to the amazing staff at Compadres for making my dining experience a memorable one.

Love this place. This is our go to when we want to go out for Mexican. Their mocahetes and cocktels are enough for a meal. Authentic, great service.

I've been eating here for over a decade. I came for the first time in a year, and my burrito was made with Herdez salsa. Not bad, but definitely didn't taste homemade. For the price increases we've endured, I would at least like the quality to stay consistent.
