Compadre Grilled Chicken - San Marcos

Yesterday was my first time there, I let the lady at the counter know this, and she replied te va a encantar (you 're going to love it). I asked a different employee, who took my order, if I could get a chicken breast in a three piece combo plate and he said yes. I received my order but I had only received half a breast, a leg, and a wing. I went up to the lady that greeted me and explained that I was expecting to receive three WHOLE pieces, not 2.5 pieces. She explained that they cut the chicken in eight pieces but that didn 't make any sense; two wings, two breasts, two thighs, two legs. That 's eight pieces!I 'll never go there again with that kind of business model.The tortillas were very good, beans good, rice was cold but good, and the salad was fine. Pretty small portions for the rice and beans.

The food is natural and smoked to perfection. The service is good and and its always consistent in flavor and freshness. Great placeFood: 5/5

Local spot right around the corner from my house, you can smell the chicken at times when they're grilling in the parking lot. I usually get the two piece meal which comes with chicken, tortillas, rice, beans and some greens. The price is very cheap for everything that comes with the meal. I love this place so much, was eating here weekly during covid. Would highly recommend!

Such a gem! Best chicken ever. So simple and consistent with service and food. This mom and pop gem will not disappoint. Towards closing hours, lines are busy and sometimes they run out so make sure you are prepared if trying to grab dinner last minute.

Chicken is always fresh with amazing flavor. Reasonably priced, great customer service, and very consistent. Any time I'm in San Marcos, I always stop by for Compadre...be sure to get the green sauce with your meal!
