Our Story
Family, tradition & flavor since day one
Where It All Began
Los Compadres is the story of the American dream brought to life. For the Garcia family, that dream began when they made Southern California their home. Through years of sacrifice, long days working multiple jobs, and an unwavering work ethic, they laid the foundation for what would become Los Compadres.
In 1987, that dream became a reality with the opening of the very first Los Compadres. Built on cherished family recipes, authentic Mexican flavors, and a passion for bringing people together, what started as one humble restaurant has grown into three beloved locations serving communities across Southern California.
Today, nearly four decades later, Los Compadres continues to reflect the Garcia family’s perseverance, tradition, and passion for sharing the flavors of Mexico while creating a place where every guest feels at home.
For the COOKED WITH SOUL, Can you just drop the That is the Los Compadres Promise to its own line so 2nd line under the first sentence.
