Taqueria El Compadre Prolongación Muñoz Reviews
This is a hidden gem I found 3 wks ago. The queso Birria Tacos are amazing!! Looks like a family owned restaurant but very clean and very attentive staff. This place gets busy at night but worth the wait. A must try! I'll be back you smell it outside that's good food.
Amazing! The food here is incredible and the staff were very friendly! It was recommended to me by a friend who is very particular about his tacos! I absolutely loved every bite and will surely visit again!
The food was very good, actually the best authentic Hispanic style burrito I’ve ever had. Friendly staff and food was served “not fast, but hot”. Very delicious. Only downside is that it is a cash only restaurant but it isn’t a turn off for me.
These were the BEST tacos I've had, since I left Mexico City. I am so happy I could cry I live in Tucson and obviously, LOVE Mexican food... but this restaurant is THE BEST I've had in the USA. HANDS DOWN. I got Tripe, Lengua and a beef tripe mix. I am poor atm; the food is so affordable and DELICIOUS! When I get paid; I am sooo getting the steak tacos I smelt cooking Ugh. I will be coming back here; a FEW times before I leave Phoenix. Everything in the picture; was bliss. The Aguacate (Avocado) salsa is mild and delicious The Salsa Roja is nice and spicy. The chili is spicy for desert!!! Such a special meal after a long week God bless!!!
Doesn’t look like much from the outside but the food is awesome! Get the pollo burrito and ask for a side of the green hotter sauce from the kitchen! Perfect spice. Not smothered like I’m used to and that makes the flavor all the better.
Had never been here before. By the time I left, felt like a friend. Miguel and his mom are putting out delicious tacos. I suggest a variety on your plate to get all the different flavors. Added bonus in November of Mexican Pacific League winter ball baseball on the TV. I shall return whenever in Phoenix.
I drove strait from work to this restaurant. I had promised myself a treat for a week's work. I have to say this place is perfect. AMAZING TACOS!! I love this flavors of meat, the finely chopped vegetables, the doubled up tortillas, the salsa!! I had the lorenza very delicious. I went back the next day to chow down! Very friendly staff. I highly recommend stopping here. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The bakery next door is delicious stop by the bread is always fresh.
Portions commensurate with prices charged. This business appears to be in line with the average cost for portion received, comparable to other restaurants serving similar menu items. Quick to take orders from customers. However, please be patient with staff members, as all items are freshly made to customers order. Approximate wait was 15min.
We were super disappointed in this food truck because the restaurant was absolutely delicious. But the food from the food truck is more expensive and super salty. They forgot part of our order and I was already gone before I checked it so that was my bad but the food was super salty and the carne asada was over cooked and hard and not seasoned well. Would definitely not recommend to go the food truck. I’m sad the actual restaurant closed. The food was not worth the price!
I ordered 3 adobada vampiros tacos to go. The food wasnt bad, but the packaging was terrible. See the pictures oil from the cheese and adobada leaked everywhere! The taco was more like a tostada. I would also agree on being overpriced. With the vast amount the options around phoenix, if you're on the high end you have to deliver on quality and experience.
We ordered tacos And a torta and a small side of rice and drinks everything came at separate times kept asking was that it we were like no theirs more food missing they did not pay attention to the order and was overcharged. I was eating my torta it has a smell it was the tomate smelled weird it was not good and we were charged for a big plate of rice and beans when we just got a small scoop of rice the carne asada looked like hamburger meat.
Ladies taking orders are super nice and friendly, the food was ok, I think what made the tacos taste good was the tortillas. Also, this business does not take card, only cash policy which is definitely so inconvenient, it's 2018. I'm not sure I would come back thou. The two stars are for the friendly staff.
Rewriting from a year ago: I came here because of the good reviews, but I was disappointed. The menudo was too greasy, and we found two hairs in our food. When I called to complain, the lady on the phone was rude and said she reheated the last of the pot. It felt like we got the leftovers. I won't be coming back.
This place is horrible greasy Taco place and the customer service is even worse !!! They don’t even get your order right and if you ask them to remake it they will charge you they don’t assume any responsibility even though they’re the ones taking the order. It’s a cash place they do not provide receipts and they just charge you anything they want it’s a shame!! If you can eat somewhere else I would recommend it last time I order anything here!!!
I paid 40 something dollars. And my order was all wrong. They close at 10pm. So I was stuck with the food. 😡. The lady at register gets orders wrongs. And the paisa in the back dont care. They will just give you burritos with meet. Thats it. Waste of 40 dollars. So passed off I couldn't eat.my family had the runs the next morning.
Overpriced for what you get. If you're white they serve you last. The people who came in 29 minutes after me were served before me because they were Mexican, and all I ordered was a burrito that was 10 dollars. Avoid here unless you're Mexican. Also if you're going to work in America you better learn how to speak and hear English.
This place has very good reviews so I'm very surprised at the experience we just had. First we waited for 10 minutes for the lady behind the counter to take our order. She didn't speak any English, which is okay, because we know enough Spanish to order in Spanish. Also a nearby lady also help us place our order. When the food came it was wrong and several people sitting around us were getting their orders delivered wrong as well. After waiting 20 minutes for them to sort it out and getting nowhere, we we left without eating anything.
