El Compadre Taco Shop
7.5 • Mexican restaurant
An old wiener schnitzel building with an A-frame design houses a 24/7 drive-thru Mexican spot. The atmosphere feels unsafe, with no seating or indoor space, so food is mostly taken to go. Large portions and fresh burritos stand out despite mixed opinions on some menu items.
