“ Some of the best breakfast burritos in the state! Similar style to Burrito Express in Lakewood. They come with red and green salsas or green chili, all are excellent. Their English is not great, so I use google translate, not a big deal. I have tried the carne asada burrito and it was not quite as good as the breakfast one. I want to come back and try the tacos. ”
“ Love the breakfast burritos here. Haven’t tried the tacos yet, but I’m excited to try them soon. Staff is friendly and things move as quickly as they can making everything fresh to order! ”
“ Tacos were really good! I got a couple quesabirria tacos with some consomme, the consomme is smooth, savory and delicious. ”
“ Moved here about a year ago from the East Coast looking for Mexican food that resembled Mexican food back home. I found this place one day on my way from work and it did not disappoint! The food is delicious. My go to is torta de lengua. ”
“ I am a self-proclaimed Mexican food critic and this place is amazing the torta is homemade bread and the carne asada was absolutely succulent moist the salsas are amazing and huge portions this will be my first dinner and savory leftovers for later I highly encourage people to come give it a try ”
“ In Denver for work by way of Dallas. I am always seeking amazing al pastor tacos. What caught my attention was the addition of a Pineapple slice... just like authentic! I wasn't clear that is a food truck and almost went to a taco place pretty much on the same lot. Well... the tacos were divine. You really know that they were al pastor with the different textures in the pork. The meat was marinated very well and was not dry at all. To this point, I haven't been able to find a place that sells tacos al pastor with the pineapple and was quite anxious to taste. It did not disappoint. The added sweetness complimented the little fatty bits but, in my opinion, only half the pineapple slice would suffice. The fresh squeezed lime juice and both sauces ”
“ Love this place! I was excited to see they had online ordering now...but they don't. I'm sure calling in still works, but don't try to use the online ordering through their website. They will not receive it. They very nicely still made my order though when I arrived. ”
“ Los Compitas is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic street tacos. The menu is straightforward but offers a variety of options, including classic carne asada, al pastor, and pollo I ordered the carne asada and the al pastor taco, both served on freshly made corn tortillas. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor, while the al pastor had a delightful sweetness from the pineapple that complemented the spice beautifully. Each taco was topped with fresh onions and cilantro, adding a refreshing crunch. Also ordered pollo burrito and pastor gringas. The gringas, a delightful combination of flour tortillas, cheese, and pastor, were a standout. The melty cheese paired with the savory meat made for a satisfying bite. Service was quick and friendly, and the prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality you get. ”
