Compadres Mexican Food & Sport Bar

Compadres is the neighborhood spot locals kick themselves for postponing: combo platters generous enough that a thirty-dollar dinner for two sends a second dinner home in a box, chips and salsa in the La Curva school, margaritas garnished with actual fruit, and a patio with music that turns lunch into an afternoon. The filet mignon has fans, the service runs five-star-resort attentive with smiles to match, and weekend regulars report it simply doesn't miss. For the heat-seekers: say so when you order and the kitchen obliges, and the chimichanga comes grilled rather than deep-fried. Order for flavor-forward plates and the value math here is among the best in town.
