Taqueria Los Compadres — Restaurant in Delaware

If you want an authentic and lovely Mexican experience, try this place! It is a wonderful place to eat for almost all occasions. My partner who has backpacked through Mexico last year thinks this restaurant is super authentic and right out of the family-owned business category from Mexico. We have had take out from there multiple times, and even though Mexican dishes are always too heavy for me, I am willing to go through the uneasiness afterwards for their delicious food. We have had all kinds of tacos and quesadillas, their meat is fresh (which I think is the most important component) and very well seasoned and cooked. Their presentation is simple but cute and lovely, like their lovely Jukebox. The staff are always super friendly and very helpful. Last night my partner took me here for a spontaneous date night after Salsa class, and we had amazing food, Mexico-flag-colored chips and salsa, and Champurrado (if you have never tried it, you nust do so immediately. It is an ancient chocolate-based drink that the Mayans made, so amazing and fitting for these cold wintery nights, but it's not that light, so don't fill up on tacos!). Cannot recommend enough.

Extra loveliness points: there are a bunch of Mexican artworks on their walls, including the Eagle warrior portraits, pottery from Aztec calendars and such. Oh and there is always Mexican...

The people who run it seem good but the food is bad.

Our tamales came fast but they were heated in the microwave. They were extremely dry and tasteless.

Our tacos took 30 mins to arrive at our table. At the same time more than 10-15 online orders we prepared for other customers.

I got the tacos a la compadre which looked amazing but everything was underseasoned and didnt have any flavor. It is really a pity because the meet was tender. Even the broth was flavorless which is almost impossible to do.

The tortilla of the enchiladas was homemade but the filling was similarly tasteless and underseasoned, as if salt and pepper are unknown entities. Also it was impossible to find the tomatoes in the enchiladas.

I wasted my $30 and now I wish I hadnt eaten there so I could go somewhere else.

Needless to say, if you dine in you get served in disposable plates and silverware. If you dont like people to dine in just say it. It is literally a disgrace to treat people like that.

Zero love for food, or a profound lack of knowledge of...

The food was good as always. We got tacos of asada and tripa as well as rice and beans. My dad had a few bottles of Modelo and my mom had a strawberry margarita and a lime margarita. My fiancee had a Mexican soda a jarrito that was pineapple flavor and I had an horchata. Let me just say this restaurant is on the pricey side. They don't have iced drinks, you have to ask for a cup of ice. Even then it's served in a food container. Our waiter got my mom's margarita drink wrong. She had ordered a strawberry one and got a lime one instead. Then our desert was wrong as well. We ordered 3 orders of strawberry churros and got plain ones with chocolate syrup. We didn't mind and still love eating here either way. I would highly recommend you all give it a try. We got 3 orders of churros which was $18, 26 tacos, 3 sides of rice, a side of beans, 2 models, 2 margaritas, 1 large horchata, and a jarrios soda. The grand total...
