Tacos El Compa

Solid taco spot! Came here on a Friday night with my boyfriend. Love that they have their own parking lot. I ordered a two taco small plate and my bf ordered 4 tacos. Service was super quick. Also love that they have a self serve salsa bar (my fav was the orange and mild salsa). And their agua fresca comes with unlimited refills, yum! Will definitely be back!

(3 out of 5)The salsa here is there strong point, fresh warm chips and a free salsa bar, also they have great horchata with free refills! Very expensive prices though and the food is mid. This is a place I wouldn't pick to go in my own but wouldn't be disappointed if a friend wanted to grab lunch here. Service was pretty good and the ambiance is pretty basic. If you come try their Pastor salsa and orange sauce! When you come tell them Rothyy sent you!

I'm giving this place four stars, though three and a half might feel more accurate--but I'm rounding up because of the consistent experience I've had here. I've been about four times, and every visit has been pleasant. The staff is generally friendly, the place is clean (a big plus for me), and the food has always been solid.One feature I love is the salsa bar, which offers fresh pico de gallo. On my last visit, I ordered the three enchilada plate, and I had no complaints--it hit the spot. My wife had the carne asada burrito, and while she thought the meat could've used a bit more flavor, it didn't ruin the experience.Parking is convenient, which is another win, and the overall cleanliness and reliability of the food make this one of my go-to spots.

It was Taco Tuesday and we wanted to try a new-to-us spot so we ended up at Tacos El Compa.I've passed by this restaurant a lot while driving on Castro Valley Blvd so it was nice to finally give it a try. They have a small parking lot so that was no issue.Once inside, the menu is prominently displayed and you can order directly at the counter before taking a seat. We ordered for takeout and didn't have to wait too long for our food to be prepared. They also have a self serve salsa bar so you can get whatever condiments you need.Our tacos were pretty good overall. Not the best I've had but certainly not bad. One tip: If you pay with cash you get a 4% discount (prob just avoiding the fee that you'd get if you pay with card).

Showed up because I skipped lunch last week. Place has a drive thru if you call or are a dasher. They also have 2 registers, one for cash one for cards. Place is wonderfully decorated, service is friendly, and they play authentic music. I ordered a regular burrito of asada, it was delightful and well balanced. I definitely recommend this place!!!!!!

Had their lengua taco salad. Prepared quickly, overall fair in taste, loved the unctious pieces of lengua. They have an endless salsa bar and chips which was a great add-on to the meal. You get 4% off their prices if you pay cash, thus one line for Card payment, other line for Cash. Order at the counter, take your number and they bring your meal to your table. 4 star because overall seasoning could be more flavorful, intense. I did not like the taste of 2 of the salsas (green sauce too tangy maybe too much tomatillos; one of the red ones not to my liking [top left cup in my photo])

I came here on a Sunday morning, it wasn't too crowded and there was hella parking. The staff here were hella nice and the place is clean.The best part here is the salsa bar which they have all the fixings for everything you need. I ordered 2 tacos and a chorizo breakfast burrito. They were hella good and felt like they used quality ingredients. I think this will be my go to spot for people when they visit.

Love the carne asada fries here. Nice spot with plenty of parking, even a drive thru option. Workers are always super friendly.

Took a nice walk for dinner here. They have quite a large menu. You walk up and order then find a seat. There was a lot of seating, bit I enjoy sitting by the window. They have a big tray of chips and a salsa bar. The green salsa was my fave. The orange salsa was good too. It looks really spicy, but it has a mild kick. While it was Taco Tuesday, the Taco Salad looked appetizing. We ordered that. Oh forget about the taco salad at Taco Bell and come over here. This is much much better. Got it with carnitas and that was yum. It wasn't too hard and it wasn't greasy either. I'll have to come back and try other items from their large menu.

This place was amazing, the food was great, the atmosphere was nice and really relaxing, the service was really fast quick and efficient. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good Mexican cuisine
