El Compadre - Long Beach

This was a new restaurant for me in Long Beach area I decided to try it out and I wasn't disappointed the the staff there was excellent friendly and kind and they even help me with road directions if I needed do you know where other places were in town

This is our second time here and we are pretty happy with our food. It’s a tad bit understaffed during busy weekends, but even then the food came quick and was mostly good. My chile rellano’s egg was burned but I just pulled it off and enjoyed the chille. The rice is really yummy. We love the salsa they serve with the complimentary tortilla chips. They definitely could use more vegetarian options. Note: pretty sure the refried beans have lard, if you care about that detail. The server was friendly. The music was too loud where we we’re sitting. All in all, the good outweighs the other stuff and we will be back again, I’m sure. Vegetarian options: Limited but doable

Huge portions. Authentic flavors. Our only disappointment was the horchata.

The service was prompt and friendly. I had a shredded beef chimichanga and a chicken enchilada. My companion had a ground beef taco and burrito. The food was attractive on the plate and very good. The beans were excellent and the shredded beef in the chimichanga was perfect I’d love their recipe! The guacamole was house made with chunks of avocado tasty. My serving was enough for 2 meals the chimichanga alone would have been enough, so I won’t be eating the enchilada until for lunch tomorrow!

We just came here to have lunch on our way home. We are a party of 18 people. The server was amazing, she had our order memorized and kept the rounds coming of chips, salsa waters. Not once did we have to ask for anything. The food was great, large portions, very fair pricing and just a great place overall. We will definitely be back.
