About this restaurant

Since 1975, El Compadre Restaurant in Hollywood has been one of Southern California's hot spots for Mexican cuisine and drinks. The restaurant fashions the look and feel of an "old world hacienda". Lined with clay roof tires, wrought iron lanterns and stained glass chandeliers; its walls grace of Mexican heritage with paintings, artifacts, antiques and vase floral trimmings.

We specialize in showcasing "The fine foods of Mexico". We serve family recipes handed down over generations using select cuts of meats, and choice seafood alongside season fresh vegetables. e have a dedicated full bar area where we serve mixed cocktails, imported and domestic beers and our legendary and famous "Flaming Margarita". Coupled with live nightly music from a trio singing Mexican classics and with a dimly lit, sultry lighting; our romantic ambiance is unmatched.

    We did have to wait 30 mins for our table.. but the service was great once we were seated, and the food and flaming margaritas a win.

    We had an amazing dining experience at El Compadre! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waiter was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick to recommend some of their best dishes and drinks. Speaking of drinks, they were so much fun! Don’t miss the flaming margarita! Everything was perfectly crafted and added to the festive vibe of the evening. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor, from the fresh guacamole to the perfectly seasoned tacos and enchiladas. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their dishes. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions. It’s rare to find a place where you get this level of service, taste, and value all in one. I can’t wait to go back when we visit LA again! Highly recommend El Compadre for a fantastic Mexican dining experience.
