Los Compadres

I absolutely 100% Love this freaking place. It’s not the largest Mercado I’ve been to nor does it have the widest selection, but what they do have is f*cking fantastic. I’m kicking myself in the ass for not taking pictures of this south of the boarder culinary wonderland. The meats and produce are always fresh. Their selection of marinated meats are absolutely fantastic. From fajita chicken, to 3 or 4 different cuts of carne asada, to the adobada seasoned pork and beef. All of their tortillas are made fresh and in house. In fact you can see them making them daily, and of course they are frying them up as well for chips. Their salsas are also made fresh and in house as well.
Since I left southern California I’ve been on this never ending search to find the perfect little Mercado and I’m happy to say after 3 years my search has come to an end. Besides it being such a far drive for me I’ve got nothing but good things to say. Now on to my never ending search for the perfect ceviche.
