Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - Platos de 5 tacos (#2) and Compita Nachos with Birria. The tacos were delicious overall! The cabeza was tender and flavorful but the tripas were boiled and a bit queasy as they weren't cleaned well. The nachos were generous in serving size but the shredded beef was inconsistent as some pieces were quite dry.
Service: 2/5 - not sure if language issue or the cashier just didn't care. After we ordered but before we paid, I realized that the cost was higher than expected and was trying to figure out why it's almost a $2.50 difference. We finally figured out that we ordered a Birria Nachos (#10) but he rung it up as a Compita Nacho (#18) with Birria (shredded beef). We tried to explain that we wanted number 10 and showed him a picture of the menu. He walked around the cash register and looked at the menu as well. When he went back to the cash register, he took the next guest. When he was done with the guest, he just asked if we wanted to order or not. If there's no difference between the two items, they should remove the cheaper one to prevent communication issues again.
Ambiance: 4/5 - looks like the store was recently repainted and updated but some older signs are still hanging up. The tables and salsa bar could use some wiping though.
Value for price: 3/5 - decent food at a slightly higher price point compared to other shops we recently visited. Unfortunately, the price difference for the nachos soured our visit immediately. Do note they only called order numbers in Spanish so brush up on your language skills...
Absolutely loved my experience at Tacos El Compita! The asada tacos were bursting with flavor – tender, perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and the tortillas were just right. Friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere added to the overall enjoyment. Can't wait to go back for more!
This taco place is so good.
They have their own culture of doing things.
Parking space is limited located by gas station.
Clean inside and they have restrooms.
Typical small taco shop that is one of the best tacos spots I've been to. When I say I want tacos, this is the type I want. Reminds me of when I was growing up. I ordered the 5 birria taco plate, and it comes with consome. Perfect flavor in the tacos and consome! Would be coming here again. Can't wait to try something different next time I'm here. I went here on a Sunday for lunch and there was plenty of parking on the lot. Also, not packed at all so it was super fast service!
price and menu update:
Plus 3% credit card fee
Update Jan 2024: After having endless Taco in california for a couple of weeks, from taco truck, taco stand and off grid restaurants, Now I can tell the difference the tenderness of the meat & lack of flavor, the birria consome is not the same, even the red/green sauce are not as tasty as I first remember.
I purchased 8 tacos but they forgot 2 of them. Extremely annoying and disappointed especially because I literally waited 30 min for my order. They don't pick up their phone either. I called multiple times before heading there to avoid waiting in person, no one picked up or it was a busy signal. Once I got home, I found out they only gave me 6 tacos. I tried calling to inform them but they didn't pick up the phone obviously. I also live far from the restaurant (just happened to be in the area for something else), so it's not feasible for me to just go and get my food.
Tacos are very small too. I know in this economy folks want to buy cheapish/affordable tacos. But remember: you get what you pay for. My partner got a tripe (tripa) taco and she couldn't eat it after 1 bite. Said it was hard and grainy, almost like there was dirt inside. And mind you, we both love tripe and know what tripe should taste like.
Best tacos in Vegas! Carne Asada tacos and the consomé are both amazing.
Their El pastor and Beef is mouth watering. They have dried chili's by the front and they taste amazing with all the food. The stuff is decently hot so beware, lol.
