Surprised that this place was rather nice inside given the seedy location by Metro. Parking was decent. Staff were friendly. Food options were as good or better than other S.T. locations I've visited in recent months. Heck, I might have to go back.

Quick lunch option and for a great price .... $8.99 for the buffet (plus $2.49 for premium ingredients), which consists of a huge salad bar, 4-5 soups, three pasta dishes, dessert and frozen yogurt at the end. Definitely worth the price and a great option for lunch. Everything is always fresh and readily available

Wow, are the ratings all over the map for this one! I liked their other (fast food) location, so I whipped in here to see what IS. Now this is a full service, mid-sized restaurant, & was about half full of a perky lunchtime crowd when I arrived today. It has only tables, no booths, but it was easy to find a comforta...

When I was a kid, we ate at Los Compadres at least once a week. It's still my favorite Mexican food restaurant ever. Food is ALWAYS delicious, consistent, well priced, and wonderful. The enchilada sauce is outstanding, wonderful tacos, yummy cheese crisps. Combo plate #2 is the best! Kids' plates are perfect kid-sized ...

My family and I came here for some comfort food. It had been years since we had been there. The decor, still looks like they are stuck in the 80's. \n\nSadly, we will not be returning ever again.

I agree with the previous reviewer that something terrible has happened to a restaurant that used to be good. When we arrived, nobody greeted us, so we just sat at a table and waited for about 5 or 10 minutes for anyone to come to the table.

Closed and re-opened. Completely different ownership. New place has better food, same cheap prices. Had a bad experience with the manager, but when you can get a big bowl of good pho, so be it. I will review under the new name after I go there again and hopefully the manager/server is gone.
