Compadres | Mexican Restaurant

Mixed feelings with this restaurant. As we park our car, we noticed that it’s packed and we thought “this is a good sign!” It was packed for outdoor eating but the restaurant is very big inside and it was there that it wasn’t as busy. We were seated in a very cold area, we could have asked to be seated elsewhere we just didn’t bother. Our server was very nice and he did check on our table several times. Food wise, here’s my grades starting with the free chips and salsa. The chips were good, the salsa had good taste but just so watery. We did order a queso fundido with chorizo, it was also runny and we didn’t receive any side plates for the queso so we actually made a mess on the table trying to dip our chips. Our main dishes were tasty, but not the greatest. They were edible and that’s a good thing, but there was something missing. The Carne Asada meat seemed low quality, it was too chewy and thin, very rubbery. The Enchiladas with Mole were okay, but an hour after eating and I feel very yucky, too heavy. I had hoped for a better quality because of the reviews I read prior to actually going.

I ordered a shrimp fajitas and three steak tacos with lemonade to drink the food was not good.

Really good and authentic Mexican cuisine. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone if your in the mood for Mexican food. Steak, steak/chorizo mix and veggie tacos are all 🔥. The Horchata is delicious and made perfectly in my opinion. Have not had anything that wasn't good here.

Finally a decent Mexican restaurant in WI, we are from TX and have tried few Mexican places around the Madison area that have failed miserably. After a lot of uncertainty and hesitance we decided to check out this place, however to our surprise the food was pretty decent. We loved the spicy salsa, the queso was a hard pass, however all the entrees were delicious. They do have a lot of options for vegetarians. The price was reasonable especially considering how expensive it is eat out around Madison. We will sure come back.
