I have been to Los Compadres-Northern 3 times for lunch with work colleagues for work related events, birthdays, etc. I tried to give it a few chances.... While their prices are very reasonable, the service is just barely satisfactory, and they clearly are not prepared to serve large parties at lunch. We had 10 people in our party. Each time we have gone there we have had to wait a really long time to get our food and then settle up with our checks. We got to place at 11:30 and didn't get out of there until almost 2:00 at each visit!!...just a silly wait time, considering there isn't much to their menu or food. The food is just your run of the mill mexican stuff, pretty standard fare. Although, the one nice thing is they have very ladylike (small bite portions, like mini tostadas and tacos) portions at a good price, very manageable. Sorry to say that overall rhere is nothing real extraordinary from this place. :(
