Our Story
Los Compadres started as a small family spot in Meadowood Plaza, and that's still exactly what it is. Same neighborhood, same recipes, same people. We don't cut corners — tortillas are pressed fresh each morning, meats marinate overnight, and the salsas are made in-house.
Oh, and before you leave — try the fried ice cream. People drive across town for it.
There's no corporate office behind this place. It's a family — same faces, same recipes, and the kind of service where they remember your order.
Tortillas pressed in the morning. Salsas made fresh. Beverages mixed by hand. We've never found a shortcut worth taking.
Tacos from $4. Most people eat well for under $15. We've always believed good food shouldn't be a treat — it should just be Tuesday.
Events & Parties
Birthdays, graduations, office lunches, quinceañeras — we cater all of it. Call us, tell us how many people you're feeding, and we'll sort out the rest.
Fresh food, real portions, and none of the stress of figuring out dinner for 40 people on your own.

"As always, very good! This place never disappoints — consistent quality, fast service, and portions that actually fill you up."
"Family-owned gem in Newark. The tacos are fresh, the horchata is incredible, and the fried ice cream alone is worth the trip."
