This place was great! It was a small spot with a few staff, but man were these some of the best enchiladas I've ever had. Our group got the red, mole, and green salsa enchiladas and some chicken flautas. I know I thought the green salsa was the best flavor, but someone else in the group loved the mole best. The flautas were on point and well worth it as a side dish. Will definitely be coming back!

Gave this place a try since it had very good reviews and we were not disappointed! The pictures do no favor to how good and flavorful the food was!! The side of rice and beans were delicious and to me it was a good portion. The tacos were amazing and my husband enjoyed his as well. The only thing that didn't quite make it was the salsa. Not spicy as others but it was fine for my husband since he doesn't do too much spicy. Lastly the quesadilla, it might look small on here but it was actually pretty good size and very flavorful! Would definitely come back to this place if I'm ever back visiting.

I had this place book marked for a while now being it had such high praise and reviews. The pictures posted also look so good. As I walked in I noted the place was hopping busy with every seat taken. I walked up to the counter and saw that they had a 2 sided menu “with no pictures” hmmm what do I order? Heck I don’t even know what some of these food items are. I asked the cashier what he recommended and he took out his phone and showed me pictures of what people order a lot. “Good selling tool, just wish the pictures were on the menu” I ended up ordering a super taco $3.99 soft tortilla, L Pastore meat, sour cream, avocado, diced tomatoes and a wedge of lime. A Jefecita with carnitas meat. $4.99 this one comes with a larger soft tortilla with browned burnt cheese on both sides of the Tortilla. “See pics” Last but not least a horchata to drink “ one of the better ones I’ve had “and I’ve had a lot, trust me. I sat at my table “the only one available lol” and a nice lady with a smile on her face brought my order with 2 different bottles of homemade sauce “red and green” both slightly hot, the red one had kind of a smoky flavor. I opted for the green “and lots of it, so good” Now for the flavors: the super Taco with the L Pastore has got to be the best I’ve had so far “anywhere” but the Jefecita..,,,,OH MY GOSH I felt like...... well Sally “from the movie when Harry met Sally” except I was screaming Jes! Jes! “In my head, silent voice lol” And my eyes rolled so far up in the back of my head I could see behind me!! People this place is Da real deal!! One side note, I watched as people got up from the tables how the worked immediately busted and clean the tables!! Good job!!!

This is our 1st time eating @ Tacos El Compa and it won't be our last. It's a small taqueria, maybe 20 customers can sit and eat comfortably. They don't serve alcohol, seafood and there's no table service. I was the only customer ordering but other customers received their food already. The service was quick and the staff was friendly and helpful. Since it was our first time, she gave us a quick run down of the menu. I ordered the SUPER 🌯 and it was massive and delicious. Normally I can finish a super burrito in one sitting. I only ate 1/4 of it. It wasn't all rice and beans. It had a good ratio of asada, beans and rice. The rest of the family had the super 🌮. It was the 1st time they tried freshly made 🌽 tortillas! It was hot, sort of flacky but it held all the ingredients very well.and it was thick. It's unfortunate we don't live in the area, otherwise we would eat here more often. Great find!

So lucky to live just a couple miles from this taqueria. The food is always wonderful and the staff is genuinely kind. Their homemade tortillas make every dish feel special. I especially love the bowls, tacos, bean and cheese burritos, and aguas frescas. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything here.

Food was good. Definitely a good option for what's around the South Bay. Otdered the El Jefe and the Jefecito with everything.... was pretty 👍 good. Big portions (pictures provided). They don't skimp on the meat either so that's a plus ➕! Tacos 🌮 were also good. Wasn't in love but hard to come by when so many Mexican restaurants and taquerias are located in the bay area. Carnitas 🍖 meat was a way go-to!!!! Service was exceptional, had no issues with ordering and was greeted with a friendly face 😀 Love that they serve beer🍻 here and enjoyed the horchata 🥛 Will try the burrito 🌯 next time. Would recommend but not saying it's the best tacos I've had unfortunately.

Tacos El Compa: A San Jose Must-Try! My go-to order is the carne asada taco plate paired with their refreshing strawberry agua fresca. The taco plate comes with rice and beans as well. This combo is the perfect balance of satisfying and delicious, making it my ideal lunch. for a satisfying and tasty meal. This meal always hits the spot and gives me the energy to power through the rest of my day. Highly recommend!

There are only about 5 tables in the small restaurant, and the seats are very crowded. Most of the people are waiting for takeout. I ordered the super taco with steak $5.50. It was very delicious with avocado on top. It went well with Mexican Coke. Super burrito actually just adds avocado, not too much meat. I probably won’t order it again next time, because you can eat this kind of burrito everywhere.

Very busy and only had a few tables. Meat has a good texture and not too much rice or beans. Salsa was actually somewhat spicy. We were not given limes

Delicious and straightforward tacos like the ones El Compa are hard to beat. Staff were friendly. I will say I was a bit disappointed the flamin’ hot cheetoh tacos weren’t spicy; it seemed like the tortillas were just red for show as the hot flavor didn’t come through. Other than that, the el pastor and tinga were scrumptious.

Not an expert on Mexican food. Came here based on the high rating. Unfortunately, somewhat disappointed. Food was on the salty side. The restaurant was small which was ok, but they didn't seem to have time to keep it clean.

Mexican taqueria in strip mall. Zero ambiance inside, absolutely no decoration of any kind. Two large TVs on random channels. If you want to try suggest you take it to go. Nachos good. They use flour tortillas which I am not a fan of. Pinto beans had no real flavour, not sure why this place gets high ratings.

Honestly, the service was terrible. I came in after seeing the place advertised all over my Instagram. I ordered three tacos: carnitas, al pastor, and asada. The asada and carnitas tacos were pretty good, but the al pastor taco tasted nothing like it should. The meat didn't smell right and didn't taste like al pastor. I told the cashier, thinking they might have given me the wrong meat. She took my plate and talked to the crew. They didn't realize I spoke Spanish and said, "There's nothing we can do, that's al pastor, and some people just have different preferences." She came back and told me, "There's nothing we can do." Honestly, that’s some terrible service. I asked if I could choose a different type of meat because this one smelled bad and didn't taste good. She said proceeded on saying the same thing “there’s nothing we can do”. That was not Al pastor

just look at this picture and tell me if you think you’d eat this. looks and taste like it’s been in the box for days, fries were soggy as all hell and everything was clumped up together and have no flavor. and it was $50 for nacho fries and a quesadilla. FIFTY DOLLARS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. Just please avoid this place, you can’t even eat inside there’s 4 90’s taco bell style tables and chairs in a narrow 8ft hallway they call a dining area.
