Tacos El Compita

This place is authentic as it gets! It feels like when I was a kid growing up in L.A (Hawthorne) and went to get tacos. The beans and rice are 100% authentic, the beans taste home made de la hoya. The tacos are delicious the service is amazing. These are some of the kindest generous people I've come across. Tip! Tip! Tip! Tip! Even just a dollar! They appreciate it and it shows! We came on a Saturday evening. It wasn't busy, but there's constant traffic here. Highly recommend!

I noticed that the card machine is no longer pointed where the customer can input their card themselves. The last few visits, I'm told the amount verbally and then charged extra. Almost as if the cashier is tipping themselves a dollar or two .Edit: I've been coming here for a cool minute. How convenient there's a "surcharge sign" now that I've never seen, and again I can no longer put my own card in. Do with that info what you guy will.

We want to eat inside this spot the other day. We ordered 2 plates of 5 tacos and a mulita. One plate I ordered 2 asada, 2 pastor and 1 tripas. The other plate we had 2 pastor and 3 asada. The mulita was pastor also. Tacos are a bit on the small side, 3 biters. But the price reflects the size so it fits. Tripa taco may have been my favorite. It could have been better if it was a little more crispy for me, but it was very good and tasty. Second place is the asada tocos. The meat was average but they did give you a good serving. Overall a solid taco.Pastor for me was not how I like it. I think they add a little cinnamon for the sweetness and I'm not a fan of this on my meat. The tortillas were kind of bland. I was trying to figure it out. Was not sure if it wasn't cooked all the way but they were different. Also it was really greasy, which I don't mind but just letting you know in case it bothers you. Salsa bar is good they have pickled onions with habanero I love this. Also, pickled jalapeños and carrots, very good. Radishes, jalapeños, and red and green salsa. Serve yourself I like that. Red salad is hot but tasty. The tacos had me sweating. It's a good hot. The green is. It as hot but still has a good kick. Both were a bit too hot for my wife. Next time I will try a burrito. I hear their rice and beans are good. I don't order either this time. The staff is friendly and helpful. FYI - not many people have eaten as many tacos in their life as me. I will try them again I wasn't impressed the first time.

Service was friendly and helpful. They verified toppings for each entree, which I really appreciated. The restaurant was clean and had a sauce bar! Loved that feature. The food itself was okay.. little too greasy for me. The Birria seemed spicier than I've had in the past. Overall the experience was good, just not quite what I was looking for.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - Platos de 5 tacos (#2) and Compita Nachos with Birria. The tacos were delicious overall! The cabeza was tender and flavorful but the tripas were boiled and a bit queasy as they weren't cleaned well. The nachos were generous in serving size but the shredded beef was inconsistent as some pieces were quite dry. Service: 2/5 - not sure if language issue or the cashier just didn't care. After we ordered but before we paid, I realized that the cost was higher than expected and was trying to figure out why it's almost a $2.50 difference. We finally figured out that we ordered a Birria Nachos (#10) but he rung it up as a Compita Nacho (#18) with Birria (shredded beef). We tried to explain that we wanted number 10 and showed him a picture of the menu. He walked around the cash register and looked at the menu as well. When he went back to the cash register, he took the next guest. When he was done with the guest, he just asked if we wanted to order or not. If there's no difference between the two items, they should remove the cheaper one to prevent communication issues again. Ambiance: 4/5 - looks like the store was recently repainted and updated but some older signs are still hanging up. The tables and salsa bar could use some wiping though. Value for price: 3/5 - decent food at a slightly higher price point compared to other shops we recently visited. Unfortunately, the price difference for the nachos soured our visit immediately. Do note they only called order numbers in Spanish so brush up on your language skills...

Our go to spot for burritos in the NW part of town. Love this spot and the food is always good. If you make it in you'll see that it's always busy. There's a reason for that. Service is friendly and it's good value for the portions. I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because I can't ever seem to get them to leave the beans off my burrito even when it's clearly an option on the door dash app.

I frequent this taco shop every couple of weeks.. maybe more! I come here for the buche, asada, and tripas. The tripas typically come out crispy which is how I like them. I've also had the cabeza which is ok but the other 3 are my favorite. Service is fairly quick, considering I come in for lunch and the place is busy. Order them with everything which is salsa, cilantro, and onions. There is a salsa bar with the same red and green that come on the tacos as well as limes, jalapeños and radishes. Great taco shop and I will continue to visit.

The food is amazing here. The flavor is nothing like Roberto's they are 10 times better. Me and my friends come here after the gym a lot of times and we always love the carne asada fries and birra quesadilla tacos. Keep up the work good stuff.

Best taco spot in las Vegas. The red sauce is the best I've ever had but be careful does have a little heat behind it. Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants authentic Mexican food

They actually close at 8:30PM. Drove here, took me about a half an hour with traffic. Turned their phone off so I couldn't call to find out if they were open anyway.
