Los Compadres

When I lived in the Clinton area I often ate at Los Compadres and considered it the best Mexican fare in town. My wife and were going through Clinton on our way to The Lake and stopped in for dinner. It was disappointing from past experience.I'll compliment the servers who were prompt and friendly, but that's where the satisfaction ends. I was left wondering if Los Compadres had changed ownership and/or management since I was last there. They used to have a Camarones a la Diabla entree on the menu, which was one of the best I'd ever had. The shrimp were numerous and plump; the sauce was thick and rich; and the taste was muy delicioso. Not so this time. The portion barely covered the plate; the shrimp were few and small; and the taste was akin to that Mexican fast food place across the street, which isn't really Mexican.Sorry, Los Compadres. Adios!

Delicious! Nice chunky salsa . Thin hot chips. Excellent service! Authentic Mexican food. Chile rellenõ was yummy! And we even had fried ice cream. Anything with shredded beef or shredded chicken is excellent. Server was very attentive!

I've been to Los Compadres several times and tried several different dishes. I can honestly say I have not found one thing on there menu that is even close to authentic "fresh" mexican food. I think everything comes out of a can and everything definitely tastes, looks and feels microwaved. On several occasions we have also had issues with not having enough plates or silverware. When asking why they always responded that they don't have enough even when there were only a few people in the restaurant.The most troubling however was how the employees were treated. I often heard the owner yelling at them and bad mouthing them. The rudeness was terrible to listen too and I felt so bad for the poor people being yelled at and demeaned. I will not return to this establishment. Poor food, poor service and poor treatment of humans.

Really sweet service is the highlight of this place. The ladies working the front of the house are as sweet as clover honey.The food is pretty good too. The salsa has fresh ingredients and a little chunkiness to it. And chips are brought to the table hot.I had pork carnitas. While a little greasy, they were also pretty tasty! I ordered a side of chorizo, which is not on the menu here. I put the sausage in the beans and rice and really kicked up my plate's flavor. All in all a solid place and just a tic short of four stars.

Stopped here for lunch on our way from Branson to Kansas City. The restaurant is extremely clean and the service was impeccable and fast. The food is very good. Some people complain in reviews that it's "not authentic" and thank god for that because I hate authentic Mexican food. I had an "Express Lunch" one tamale and rice and beans and it was swell. Sure, it might have been frozen or out of a can. So? It was $4.99! The service was crazy fast, too. My daughter asked for some special stuff and they did everything right. We will definitely go back. They treated us like honored guests!

The salsa is made from scratch and it's wonderful. Tacos were perfect and the Margareta's delightful

My wife liked her meal but it was beef based. Mine was chicken based and it was tuff and dry with no sauce to help it out. If every other resturant is closed I might try it again. Or maybe not.

I hate to say it but the food is yuck. Tried three different times and never liked it. The owner is a very nice man who cares about his customers. I would love to be supportive but the food just isn't good.

Food was the usual. Had chicken tacos. The girl that was our sever was overly bubbly and pushed us to get just one margarita each, opposed to a pitcher (which we can drink together). When asked how the margaritas were we were nice and said good, she said "I told you, perfect amount". Before asking if we wanted anything else she offered our bill. We felt pushed so we just got our bill and left. And not to mention she practically paced by our table, literally staring at us to the point of awkwardness. Not the restaurant I'm giving 2 stars to, just the awkward, overly nice, fake waitress. While finishing our food we found another Mexican restaurant to enjoy a pitcher of margaritas..

Not very good. Ordered carne Asada tacos and cheese did. Cheese dip served just over room temp. Tacos were just so so. Froze my ass of in there as they have all the fans at full speed. I would recommend avoiding this place
