Editorial Review for Compadres Mexican Bar & Grill – by Citysearch Staff
The Food
Nominated for best Mexican restaurant and margarita bar for its frothy mixes and appealing dishes. Among the menu's cross-continental hybrids (Thai quesadilla?) you'll find tacos, burritos, salads and tostadas that will all do you well. Beers include Pacifico, Bohemia and Tecate (you can get 'em "buy-the-bucket," scoring seven beers for the price of six), but margaritas are a best-bet.
The Scene
Part of a small West Coast chain, the Palo Alto location has been around nearly 15 years, fine-tuning its long menu. Compadres' patio is one of the best places on the Peninsula--all year long. Heat lamps make this friendly adobe area a great place for beers and chips even in the cool months. Clearly the appeal of the place has something to do with drinking margaritas on the patio on a nice day, or the Stanford hotties unwinding at the end of a grueling school week.

While the service was fine, the food preparation was very poor and not served as described in the menu. The fresh fish was ridiculously over cooked to the point where we could not eat it. When sent back, it was returned uncooked (raw in the center). The carnitas was not served as described on the menu either and was also overcooked and too salty. The marguaritas were excellent so would suggest going for the drinks and chips but not for dinner.
Pros: margaritas and chips
Cons: entrees
