El Compadre Restaurant

A really pleasant surprise! Long Beach restaurants are very hit or miss and tend to coast on being in a tourist town. El Compadre exceeded my expectations and my family and I really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was a little run down, but drinks & food were good & the staff really hustled (they seemed to be understaffed, but they did a great job getting food out, filling drinks, & checking on our table). The food was traditional Mexican restaurant type fare & was served with chips & salsa. Our carne asada was cooked well and was tender, the beans & rice were well seasoned, and I loved the cilantro packed pico and highly recommend getting it on the side, it absolutely freshens up such a heavy meal. I also really enjoyed the enchiladas & chile relleno.

First time in Long Beach for a weekend getaway, craving our Friday night Mexican food fix. Excellent experience...server was attentive and responsive despite being really busy, remembered all of our specific requests. Food was served promptly, huge portions and some of the best Mexican food we've had in Washington. Having lived in CA with wonderful Mexican food, after trying and being disappointed by many places, this was spot on. Thanks El Compadre for a great experience ❤️

Not cheap, but not expensive.. the tamales are spot on. More authentic them most resturants I have been to. I would recommend 10 out of 10.
