Tacos El Compita

So good!!! My new favorite taco stop! Had the chicken tacos, the quality of the meat was excellent, flavor was perfect! Also tried the beef, it was very good, and not chewy either like a lot of other places can be. Excellent food!

Best tacos in town ask for their secret menu items. I go every week. The staff are very nice ! Best Mexican restaurant I have been to. go to the first restaurant of tacos el compita and that’s a better restaurant

First time here and BEST FRICKEN TACOS! If your looking for some great mexican food this is the place.

First time here with my family and we absolutely LOVED it! Food is amazing and the cooks are unbelievably fast. 110% satisfied!

Had chilaquiles verdes. Very very tasty and well presented and prepared. When i walked it the smell was fantastic

This is the number one spot in town! Real Mexican food as authentic as it gets. They have mastered the basics and so much more. With 3 amazing locations all over the valley. These restaurants have been giving back to the community for years! Check out the teams they’ve sponsored. Be sure to check them all out! A true family favorite!

i have been here for about 2 years now and had pretty much given up on authentic mexican food. One day i was driving and did a search and based on the rating decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed, unpretentious location, simple menu, delicious food. This place reminds me of the places i fell in love with mexican food. All i can say is that i enjoyed it very much, it was funny they call all the numbers in spainish and i was counting in my head, i am a little rusty on my numbers then I realized it was me ! lol friendly hard working people I will return every chance i get :)

Been coming here for years. Across from the community college. Tacos are extremely tasty and very reasonably priced.

Hands down the best Mexican food in Vegas everything I’ve had so far is amazing love tacos burritos you name it but since there the best always alil busy

Multias de asada are delicious! We will be here often. Sevier was quick and friendly!!!

Absolutely worth the drive!!! The mulitas are absolutely awsome! Best tortillas. I’ll be back

Never Fails! Every time I come here I get excellent service, they are friendly, fast, and I would come eat here everyday until I die lol! My office always orders big meals from here and when they say 20 minutes, they really mean 10min. food is made to perfection… there are no words to describe this place! This place is too legit!

Everything was excellent about this restaurant. The service was very friendly and helpful. We had a party of 15 and even though it’s a small place they moved tables around so that we could all eat together. We ordered a variety of food and everything was delicious! Tacos, menudo, birria, torta, and burritos. We are definitely going to be back here whenever we’re in town.

I’ve tried several items on the menu, Pozole, cemita, birria but my personal favorite is the Lengua burrito. This is the only place I eat it because they know how to prepare the meat right. The food is amazing and as close as it gets to REAL Mexican Food. We’ve been coming here for years and the flavor hasn’t change a bit. They used to be cash only but now they also take credit cards! I forgot my phone here and I thought I lost it, almost 2 weeks later we came back and they gave it to me. We are regulars and they knew we’d come back.

This place has a C from the health department! And you know what I don’t give a fuck it’s amazing! It’s always busy the meat is fresh I love this spot!

The hole in the hole in the wall taco shop, but I haven’t had better authentic tacos, pozole, or menudo anywhere else! Come here for lunch, and you’ll see what I mean!

Ordered camaron agridulce, mole poblano & chile verde. They were always so good!!! Try their caldo de res esp on a cold day, it never disappoints. I see most people order the pozole; I’m not a fan of tripe but they seem to be enjoying it. Maybe I’ll try it next time.
Also, the restaurant has started accepting credit cards— that’s a big plus.

Religious murals, a candle-​laden Catholic altar and arcade games coexisting in the dining room, and tacos. This place is… well, all over the place.
THE GOOD NEWS: they’re no longer cash only and accept credit with a 50-​cent processing fee. There’s also an ATM in the dining room. There’s a panaderia next door and a paleteria further down the strip center to continue your Mexicano dining adventure!
THE NOT-​SO-​GOOD NEWS: Apparently prices have gone up from most of the ones posted on these reviews. Tacos are $ 1.25-$ 1.50 each, my two-​taco take-​out order was basically $ 3. But when I opened the bag at home, there was a foil packet roughly the size of a slice of cheese. I wondered how they could have given me the wrong order, given that I was one of only two orders at the time.
THE REALITY: My two tacos were both mini-​tacos, and the condiment container of grilled onions I’d grabbed at the salsa bar seemed to dwarf the actual tacos. I know street tacos are on corn tortillas and run a smidge smaller at traditional places than, say, Taco Bell or Del Taco, but these were absurdly small.
Similarly-​priced tacos at Tacos Gil or the guys on Decatur are all easily twice the size of what I received here. Key words: similarly-​priced.
That being said, the lengua taco is fairly good and I liked the mild salsa verde, but the asada was lacking and overpowered by the ranchero-​style sauce included when you ask for «everything on it».
THE VERDICT: Disappointing. For tacos, anyway. Maybe I’ll go Jade’s route and try the soup next time.
Side note: also watch out for the guy in the parking lot with a bottle of Windex. He’ll spray down your vehicle while you’re inside, unprompted, then expect payment afterward.

4 ½ stars is way too high for this taqueria. The meat is pre-​cooked, stored in metal bins, and slapped into tortillas versus being hot and cooked fresh like many of it’s competitors.
The carnitas lacked flavor and character. The carne asada was decent but nothing outstanding.
The best authentic tacos I’ve had in Las Vegas are at Tacos el Gordo but this would do in a pinch if you’re starving for tacos and close by.

While I think the cabeza here is on point, this visit some of the meats were a bit fatty and gristly compared to my last review. It was more noticeable in my MILs pastor torta and she’s more of a «taster» taking small bites so she had to pick at hers.
I still thought the flavor was good on their meats, but just a noticeable difference in quality with the pastor mostly. The lengua, cabeza ones I ordered were fine. Everything came out piping hot and fresh though. I noticed a few reviews that’s touted this fatty gristle from the past so perhaps it’s inconsistent with trimming. This is just my second time so not exactly sure if there are more good days than bad. Pick out the bites you don’t like?
I noticed a ton of people on this day were ordering various soups. Caldo de res seemed the most popular so I might come back for that. I saw on the menu menudo, caldo camerones and birria as well. I went on a weekend and most places serve that stuff on a weekend only so I am not sure if this is a all week item as I didnt really pay the most attention to the wall menu closely.
It may be tacos el Compita but it seems that the Hispanic community seems to go caldo route. I’ll come back and follow what everyone else is ordering next time.
