Newly owned and no longer El Camino, this spot is now El Compa with completely different owners. It’s a family-owned restaurant with extremely friendly and welcoming staff. The food is amazing, and the deals are hard to beat—$1.25 tacos on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus burrito specials on Mondays. Prices are very affordable compared to other places. It’s a small takeout spot with seating for about 7 people, perfect for a quick and delicious bite. They also offer catering services whether you’d like the 3 hour catering service or trays of food!

I’ve been about 5x now, Everytime is a WIN! Food is always made FRESH served Hot and packed with amazing amounts of FLAVOR that you Savour! They know what they are doing! The men cook in the back and they are amazing, if it gets a bit too busy because of tht Tues and Thur taco specials, they actually come up and help the young kind cashier lady with phone orders. Today they had a line outside the door with the phone ringing off the hook and guess what?! No one complained everyone waited with excitement because they knew they were in for a treat! I will ALWAYS come back this is the best Mexican spot in Dupage County if you ask me! And this is based on consistency, freshness, timeliness, because you never wait too long on your order, customer service, cleanliness, accuracy, & even the Internet/online orders were ready as soon as thr delivery pick up person arrived. They stay busy and they stay on time with orders and they’re ACCURATE. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was surprised by the amount of food they gave me for the price. I ordered a whole grill chicken that came with rise, beans, salad, and fries for only $16. They even added extra homemade sauce for free. This is an amazing taco restaurant. This is one of the few places where you can order real Mexican/Texan grill chicken. It also was juicy and had a very good flavor. The buritto was amazing for just $6.50. I believe they only have the grill chicken on weekends. Take advantage of this amazing deal! Highly recommended!

This place is small and seats only six people, but definitely worth a visit if you want good quality food for a decent price. Noted lots of locals doing takeout.

Dined in for dinner. Got the Monday special which is the burrito for $5.50 as of this writing. You have the choice of steak, chicken, or al pastor. I chose al pastor and it is a good burrito. The filling is cheese, refried beans, lettuce and tomatoes, and choice of meat. The food was made fresh to order. I appreciate that the meat is crispy and hot. Interestingly, the al pastor is slightly sweet, despite all the grease. The burrito came with three types of hot sauce (roja, verde, and mild). All three sauces were very good. The red sauce is flavorful and not as hot as other taqueria red hot sauces. The mild one has no heat to it, but has enough flavor to entertain the little ones. My favorite sauces were the red and green sauces.

I also got the chips and salsa (extra charge). Chips felt stale, hard, and crunchy in a bad way. Salsa had no heat to it and was not memorable. I would not recommend the chips and salsa.

I did order the Jamaican drink, which kinda looks like a fruit punch. The drink is refreshing and not terribly sweet. Would definitely recommend if horchata is not your thing.

This place does have daily specials. The most notable ones are the taco Tuesday/Thursdays.

Monday – burrito $5.50
Tuesday – tacos $1.25
Wednesday – nachos $7.10 (after tax)
Thursday – tacos $1.25
Friday – Monday – menudo or pozole as listed on their menu brochure

I would definitely come back for their main entree items and drinks, but skip the side items. No complimentary chips and salsa. Due to the small dining area, I would recommend ordering take out.

Update: tried the tacos on their promotional days and the tacos are quite small. It would probably take 6-9 tacos to equal a regular meal. Al pastor is good. Beef cheek is plain and unseasoned. Steak is ok. They also charge you extra for a cup of water ($1), which could just be tap water. Not sure I would recommend tacos here when there are other places that offer more value for tacos and be more filling.

TL;DR – only buy the food specials on designated days.

Burrito special is now $6 instead of $5.50.

Had the $1.25 Thursday Tacos and the Tampiqueña. What a bargain. Prices are very reasonable. Steak was huge! Everything was delicious. Attentive service.

I wasn’t aware that their tortas had become burgers. I ordered an Al Pastor torta, and you can see by the picture, that it does NOT look like what I ordered. What makes it worse, it’s the fact that I know Burger King has bigger burgers than this “torta”.

The food there is really good, and the prices are way more reasonable than many other Mexican restaurants that charge $4-5 a taco. Definitely worth visiting, it’s a great location.
