Chilaquiles Los Compadres — Restaurant in Santa Rosa

For a place whose specialty is chilaquiles, I’d kinda expect for the cooks to know what they’re doing. We sat inside for an hour waiting for our food, keep in mind the spot wasn’t even busy. They had at least 6 tables occupied which is pretty low for the space they have. We had pretty high hopes for this place when we arrived only to be met with disappointment. We tried to leave and just pay for our coffees which was the only thing they had brought out while we waited for almost the second hour, at this point our server finally gave us an “ETA” on our food after not even speaking to us for the entire time we waited. When we said we would just pay for our coffees and go they suddenly brought out our food at the exact moment we spoke up about leaving. We stayed because whatever, we had been waiting for that long might as well just eat what we asked for. I’ve worked in restaurants before and if I had someone waiting for a long period of time like this, at least half the meal would be compensated. Instead we were compensated the two 3.00 coffees we had. Needles to say it was a terrible experience and would never come...

We ended up eating here on 9/16/23 because it was next to our hotel and I love chilaquiles. Long story short, it was great! We got seated right away, and our order taken. They let us know they were a tiny bit slow on the food because they’ve been open for only three weeks, but we didn’t mind the wait and they were very attentive otherwise, filling up the coffee frequently and checking in on us.

I got the chilaquiles los compadres - green and red chilaquiles with sirloin steak and eggs. It’s absolutely delicious and so much food, I’m currently eating the leftovers and am getting full already. Drew got the Reuben sandwich with fries and really enjoyed it, and especially enjoyed dipping the fries into the homemade salsas.

We don’t have many reasons to be in Santa Rosa, but if we’re ever in the area again we will be...

Torta ahogada and chilaquiles. The torta was good, but the sauce was so mild that it was actually bland, tasted like tomato juice. I wish it had some kind of chili flavor and spices. The Chilaquiles were good, especially the green, but the portion size is pretty small for the price compared to what I'm used to. We were the only people there 7:30am Sunday but the volume on the tv/music was so loud it was difficult to talk. I like my Mexican with a kick 🇲🇽🌶️🔥, this failed to deliver.😑 In spite of all the above I would recommend this place, they have the ability to deliver an authentic Mexican experience they just need to quit holding back. We can handle it, we are ready for the real deal. Please stop holding back on us, bring the...
