Los Compadres Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Dayton

So, we drove back from Florida and saw this restaurant in Dayton, TX, on our way home to Houston. We decided to give it a go as we were really hungry and sometimes these small places serve up really good Tex Mex. Nothing about it was good except the really nice waiter. The salsa was bland and the chips tasted like they were out of a package sitting too long on the shelf at General Dollar. My husband ordered Tacos Al Carbon and I ordered Chicken Enchilada. The food was very bland. I added salt to it to pep it up a little, which I never have to do at a Mexican food restaurant. Neither of us finished our meal. The margarita was good, though. When the bill came I didn’t really look at it carefully because I had an idea of how much it would be from the prices listed on the menu. Surprise! The prices on the menu were for cash only, like if you go to a liquor store and they give you two prices: cash or credit. Well, I have never been to a restaurant that did this; so I asked the waiter to void the ticket and I would pay cash. They told me the charge went through and it would be two to three weeks before they could credit my account. Can’t ever...

If you’re looking to pay $25 or more for disappointment and an empty stomach then Los Compadres is the place for you!!

I am confused and a little concerned as to how this restaurant has even 4 stars. My small and simple order of chicken enchiladas al carbon for dinner turned out to be a sorry excuse for Mexican food. Not only was it far BELOW sub par but my order was also incorrect. As you can see written on the plate, I requested double rice no beans. As seen in the photograph presented that is indeed NOT what I was given.

I’d also like to warn any unfortunate future customers that if you order a SMALL queso to go you get an EXTRA SMALL bag of chips filled with crumbs. (Keep in mind the picture of the bag is in comparison to the 2oz cup of jalapeños they add)

There really are no excuses to how bad this food was. The two men who greeted me at the front were friendly but being “nice” to your customers doesn’t replace your insanely low...

Came out as a family to try this restaurant out. It was good and the service was good. The dishes were dirty on multiple things, which felt gross. On some of the chips from the nachos, it had some unknown dried sauce or item that wasn't part of the order. Maybe something split on some of them while they were still in a batch or something prior to them being plated. I tried not to think about it. The chicken fajita meat was really good. My son loved the mini tacos with it. Both my kids loved the queso. If it was cleaner and dishes hadn't been so dirty, we would have likely been back. The people were nice! Overall, it's a bit of a bummer. There are a couple of other restaurants in Liberty we will choose to go to over this one. (The Los Compadres in Hardin felt totally different...
