Tacos El Compa in Castro Valley

Hector welcomed us as if we were part of his family and made us a pot of fresh coffee. There is plenty of parking, the restaurant is traditionally decorated and extremely clean, there’s minimum wait to be served, the portions are pretty big: delicious Guadalajara cuisine taste, I just hope they introduce pan dulce or some more desserts besides flan to the menu other than that our first time visiting was great. Thank you for your warm smiles.

We missed the old Korean barbecue restaurant that used to be here. But I am so glad to visit the new Mexican restaurant today. The staff is friendly and the food is awesome. The facility is clean with plenty of seating. The parking lot has plenty of parking spots too.The super tacos cannot be contained, literally.

This place is semi new to the area at the time that I write my review. So that means that it is new and super clean. So already doing great for that reason. The menu is high tech with pictures and electronics that show all the items very with the best menu I have seen in a long time. Excellent graphics and easy to decide! The tables are family style big woth six chairs table in the front and plenty of seating. I do hope that the city of Castro Valley allows outdoor seating for this place soon. They will probably manage it well. The high school kids will love the super nachos and the taco plate, both a great deal. Expect 10-15 bucks or equal to less than an hour of good, hard work at the Inn-n-Outs. So value is definitely there. The speakers and music was wonderful and put right back to my beautiful hotel I stayed at in Tulum just last spring. For that reason, parents should get a nice refresher but no alcohol yet. It’s coming soon. Parking is plentiful so take the whole family out and don’t forget the orange sauce on the salsa bar! Woooowza. In fact, the red salsa looks “meh” but it is really good with a hint of chocolate and smoky peppers!!

Great new place! Very happy to have a good Mexican restaurant within walking distance of our house. So far weve tried the enchiladas plate, the shrimp tostada, a wet super burrito, and the vampiros. Really tasty food and friendly staff.

I ordered the regular sized wet burrito with red sauce and carne asada. It had an okay flavor, and for this reason I felt the burrito was a bit overpriced; I paid nearly $17.00. They threw in some free tortilla chips but forgot the salsa for the chips.The service was quick considering I arrived in the evening and the line was out the front door. The only issue I had with ordering was that there wasn’t anywhere to stand/sit while waiting for my takeout order.Their menu is quite impressive. They have a wide variety of options compared to most Mexican taco spots in the area. I say give this place a try.

They have best tacos in Castro Valley. I’m so glad they are finally opened. I had their carnitas burrito bowl,birria tacos, and their regular tacos. Everything was so good. They also have lots of option for salsa. Definitely recommended.

I’m so happy we got a yummy place in CV! Went to try it out today with my brothers & im definitely coming back. Very friendly staff, clean atmosphere, you pay & sit down, super fast, & you get to serve chips & salsa to your liking. I loved the tripas! Salsas were great! I paid $13 for 3 tacos & an Agua de Jamaica. Very reasonable prices.

Authentic Mexican food, very delicious, nice clean place. New Castro valley

A nice addition to the restaurant scene currently in Castro Valley. Yes, there are currently at least 5 Mexican food styles of restaurants in CV, but Tacos El Compa seems to be one of the better ones. Their grilled Chicken, Chilled Verde and El Pastor meats have really good flavor, and are worth trying out, but their beef tongue and cheeks might be an acquired taste for which I dont have, so Im out going forward. Also, it appears to be a family run business that shows in their service and how they treat the customers.

Not much to look at, interior [or exterior], the food is good. I had 2-tacos/grilled chicken and a soft drink. The salsa bar is small but pretty extensive, with many choices. Pricing is reasonable [10.20, including tax for what I had]. May be the best tacos in CV and one of the best in Alameda Cty. Serving size on the tacos was generous. Street taco-sized corn tortillas were fresh and tasty. Service was polite and competent [no dirty dishes were on any of the tables here] and the salsa bar was immaculate. The only thing I didnt like, was the chips were a bit stale but not overly so. I will return and try something else.
