About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Romantic
Since 1975, El Compadre Restaurant in Hollywood has been one of Southern California's hot spots for Mexican cuisine and drinks. Located along trendy Sunset Blvd in the city of Los Angeles, it was founded by lifelong friends. The restaurant fashions the look and feel of an "old world hacienda". Lined with clay roof tires, wrought iron lanterns and stained glass chandeliers; its walls grace of Mexican heritage with paintings, artifacts, antiques and vase floral trimmings. We specialize in showcasing "The fine foods of Mexico". We serve family recipes handed down over generations using select cuts of meats, and choice seafood alongside season fresh vegetables.

    We came here for my sons bday. The staff was really nice and kept coming to our table for anything we needed. The only problem we encounter was that they took forever bringing my husband plate, we were almost done eating by then. I will definitely come back for service and great tasting food!:)

    We had a reservation for 7:45pm and did not get seated untul 9:15pm. Then we did not get our food until 10:40pm. They were very busy but it became ridiculous. The food was nice but the wait time was insane considering we had a reservation.

    Solid 4 - somethings are higher and some lower but nothing was a 5, maybe 3 in service because just average but not bad. Biggest issue is drinks had no prices on the menu which seemed pretty sketchy.
