El Compadre West Baden

This restaurant fits into one of my favorite genres. I love this kind of Mexican joint. But unfortunately, this place's food is just below par. The meat in my burrito and taco seemed poorly seasoned. The salsa and choriqueso both lacked much flavor. No issues with service or price point, but I can't recommend this place.

Daniel was a friendly and fast server. Food was flavorful! Great variety. A new favorite when we are in town!

Great service. Margarita left a lot to be desired, mostly mix for $15 top shelf drink.

HORRIBLE. Margs were bad, salsa was bad, tables were sticky and service was strained. Didn't order much because even the basic items were unseasoned and inauthentic in their flavor.

Amazing food! large portions, under priced!I love seafood so I ordered La Playa and could not finish my plate. Amazing taste does not give it justice, gourmet food was served. I loved this place and would drive from Indianapolis just to eat here!

My wife and I tried a New Mexican restaurant in West Baden. El Compadre offers a "typical" American Mexican restaurant menu. Service is fast. Cocktails are large and potent.We found the complimentary tortilla chips a little stale and crumbled. However, a real surprise was the size of the entrees. So so much food. Suggestion would be for one to three people share a combo plate which is a sample of so many different items. Decide what you like best for the next time your here.

Ate here last night for the first time the food was so so and the service was great. The problem was my 16 year old daughter got steak fajita nachos and she found a piece of metal in her food. It was very small. The only thing that I can think that it might be is a rivet from a pan or a duct.

If you are in French Lick, this is a good option to get away from the overpriced resort food. My husband and I stopped in for a quick lunch while on a getaway to the French Lick Resort, and we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of this restaurant. The venue is spacious and airy, and the service is attentive. The food is your typical Americanized Mexican food, but it was hearty and flavorful. I had a chicken chimichanga, and it was crispy and del ious. My husband had chicken fajita nachos, and he devoured them. I'm picky about restaurant salsa, and I really liked it here. It was smooth and had a lot of flavor. The best part of this meal was the low price, especially after paying resort prices for our other meals on this trip. This place isn't breaking new ground, but it's a really solid option.

Fresh! Tasty! Made with white cheese's and fresh tortillas. The staff was friendly. And the prices seem pre-Covid! Really worth it. I definitely recommend this place.

Dinner was delicious. Good margaritas. Large portions! Would definitely choose again!
