The food is really good. Asada is bomb. Portions are pretty good and prices are reasonable. The service is also great.

It's been over 10 years that I've have been coming to LOS compadres . The food still tastes the same their burrito and tacos are very good this is my favorite spot for burritos and tacos the price went up but still affordable you can call and order your food if you don't like to wait in line .

I was craving some tacos but my regular spots were packed, somI checked the app for options and Los Compadres was a couple blocks from me. It's located in the parking lot of a market so I had no problem to park, the area is well lighted and not too sketchy (for Oakland). The guy that took my order was very nice, no nonsense. For my 3 tacos and horchata I payed 12ish which is fair. He told me my order was gonna take about 10mins but was ready in 5. I liked that they call the orders thru a speaker. The tacos had a good amount of meat and good flavor, specially the tongue. The drink was not too sweet which I prefer. My only complaint is that I had ordered 2 tripe tacos and they gave me tongue. I didn't say anything 'cause I was starving and I'm not too picky.

First time visiting here, it was very good. I came with my niece and we just sat in the car and devoured our food. She ordered by phone and everything was good.

Just wanted to write an updated review since I've gotten better at giving full descriptions. Food ( 9/10 ) - The food here is always a hit. No matter the mood or time of day, it's a great place to stop by. This time around, I got my favorite like normal, the steak fries with tacos and a burrito. The steak fries were delicious as always, with a nice balance of flavors. Interestingly, I tried it with a side of ketchup ( a recommendation of another customer ) and the sweetness added a whole new level of flavor to the steak fries. The tacos were delicious and had a nice serving of hot sauce, just enough to get my mouth tingling but not so much that everything else was overpowering. I preferred the spicy pork taco over the chicken since the chicken was a bit on the dry side. The burrito was also generously filled with rice, beans, and meat. There were super delicious bites in there that were very enjoyable. Overall, this place never fails to impress when it comes to food. Service ( 10/10 ) - The people working here are always so nice and so friendly. They never hesitate to strike up a conversation and interact with their customers. Definitely a sign of good customer service when you feel less like someone who's just there for the food. The people here are always in a talking mood and definitely appreciated. Pricing ( 9/10 ) - Nowadays, it's hard to get meals for two at a price under $35. For today, to be completely stuffed of food, the price was only $28. The food quality for your price here is incredible. Wonderful food, wonderful people, wonderful pricing. Try this place if you're ever in the area.

This is legit my specific fave taco truck. Food is still good, get to see same people for the past 8yrs appreciate y'all throwing it down always! (Consistently)

Located at a busy intersection on 23rd and Foothill Ave, parked inside the parking lot of El Ranchito Market is Los Compadres Taco Truck. Los Compadres is as good as any of the popular Taco Trucks in Oakland. But what sets Los Compadres apart from other taco trucks? Cheesesteak Fries: this is a carba-lious meal with crispy fried French fries, with melted cheese and steak, and jalapeños. And they are happy to add any extras to jazz the fries up, whether it's shrimp, avocado, salsa, sour cream or anything else that floats your boat. One guy even has rice dumped on top of the cheesesteak fries. Pescado burrito and steak burrito: these are decent sized burritos with a nice cross section of ingredients. Sometimes taco trucks can go a little heavy on the beans which distorts the flavor but here they get it right. The guys working this truck are great. Communication with them is easy and orders can be called in as well. Also a big plus is for 50 cents, Los Compadres accepts credit cards. Solid hood eats in the Hood.

One of the best taco trucks in east Oakland. It's my boyfriend's go to taco truck. We tried about 2 other taco trucks in the area like Guadalajara and taco sinaloa, their tacos are so oily and greasy. Our stomach can't handle the amount of oil. So he found Los compadres to be less oily, our stomachs are full and happy after eating. TIP - call ahead to place your order to avoid waiting in line to order. They'll give you an eta for the order TYPICAL ORDER beef burrito with no beans - sometimes they add beans even though I say no beans. Just confirm with them over phone Steak tacos Chicken tacos Carne Asada fries They give a generous amount of red hot sauce and green salsa & jalapeño peppers when you pick up your order. Good customer service & efficient cook time.
