Very tasty, they brings Mexican taste. The best tacos are cochinita, asada, rajas con queso. The sauces are really good. We will back for sure.

This unassuming spot in East Vancouver just made it to our rotation list. It's super cute and simple inside. You won't find the usual banderitas and loud reggaeton music blaring, the hanging plants were nice and adds a touch of freshness to the space. We went on a Monday for the All-You-Can Eat Tacos which they used to only serve on Mondays, but it looks like they serve it everyday of the week they are open nowadays. If you reserve you only pay $30.00 but if you walk-in it will be $35.00. I tried the Cochinita, Asada, Pollo Con Mole, Rajas Con Crema and Jamaica tacos and I enjoyed each of them. The jamaica stood out for me as I only use jamaica for making agua fresca. I'm sure the vegetarians would enjoy the jamaica and the Rajas con Crema. My favourite is the Cochinita and Asada. Overall, we will return to this place to enjoy their tacos and practice my Spanish. I hope that this place will keep getting better!

This was a great find! As a fellow Mexican that's long been hurting for a good taste of home El Compa definitely knocks it out of the park. Me and some friends came in for their All-You-Can-Eat taco special and every taco hit impeccably--particularly the cochinita and rajas. That said, the quality of the food was good enough that it warrants paying regular price for them if it means they can keep up with the quality. Our server Jorge did a fantastic job and was very friendly though a little overwhelmed as they seemed understaffed. Truly good and genuine Mexican food is hard to find in Vancouver, restaurants either don't last or find themselves with the need to change up their menu and the quality dips so this is one that I recommend everyone rush to support so that they can keep up the good work.

Food was very average. We were the only customers but were not made to feel welcome. Zero hospitalty.

My sons treated me to Brunch on Mothers Day. They raved about the spectacular flavor profiles, great portions and authentic menu items. Brunch is available on weekends. We had chilequiles, enfrijoladas papas churros waffles with chocolate sauce, cafe de olla, and they make amazing salsas to top off the scrumptious cuisine. Our waiter explained carefully, the origin of the recipes and ingredients. At the end I received a very touching Mothers Day Card from El Compa. It's an easy spot to miss along Powell St, by Victoria, but worth seeking out. Your nose and taste buds will forever be grateful! 10/10.

Being born and raised in Mexico, it’s great to find a place that feels so close to home. The asada tacos and frijoles are outstanding. Would also recommend the jalapeño margarita and hibiscus mezcal. Finding “pasta” ice cream was a very nice surprise too. Overall would recommend and I’ll definitely be back.
