Los Compadres Mexican Bar & Grill

For a taco dinner that can become a longer meal

Los Compadres at 448 33rd Avenue SW works as a sit-down alternative to a quick taco stop. Its fish-taco plate contains three soft tacos with breaded fish, lettuce and sauce, served with rice and guacamole salad. Individual hard- or soft-shell tacos sit in the à-la-carte section; the wider menu lets other diners head toward grilled meat, seafood or enchiladas without leaving the same table.

Follow the filling into another dish

Pastor appears in enchiladas with marinated pork, pineapple and onion, finished with green salsa and queso fresco. The birria quesadilla combines beef, cheese, cilantro and onion with rice and beans. Mole de pollo gives chicken a sauce with a hint of chocolate, while the Molcajetaso brings pork, steak, chicken, chorizo and cactus together. These combinations explain the restaurant's breadth more clearly than calling every plate an interchangeable Mexican special.

Vegetarian fajitas use zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, onion and tomato. A vegetable quesadilla offers another meatless route, while fish tacos and shrimp dishes remain seafood choices rather than vegetarian ones. Lunch combinations run Monday–Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., a different section from the evening's larger grill plates.

Table service, patio and takeaway

The business advertises dine-in service, a patio and order-ahead carryout. It also accepts reserved groups of up to one hundred, a scale relevant to celebrations rather than a promise of instant seating. Call 319-826-1870 for restaurant enquiries and group arrangements. Hours are Sunday–Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m. and Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Online ordering is linked from the official site; a separate delivery service or delivery-only phone was not confirmed.
