My husband and I travel a lot and when we travel we prefer mom and pop places. This is by far my favorite restaurant and it’s in my home town. One of the great things about visiting each week is getting to see my community as they come in for lunch too.

Absolute gem. Family owned. Great service. Drenched burrito with all the fixings was top notch. Should have asked for more jalapenos, but the food was immaculate. Prices are unbeatable. Less than $10 for a full size chicken burrito. Definitely setup in and see these folks.

I had ChatGPT write this in the style of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. You'll see why this is appropriate. Verily, I perceive this burrito to have been forged within the fiery chasms of Mordor. It hath become my singular fixation, my Precious. To sunder me from this burrito would be akin to the tumultuous combat with a Balrog. In this light, Monday shall. not. pass. without my Precioussssss. Behold this creation! It is half the length of my keyboard. It is the One Burrito to rule them all, not solely in magnitude, but in savor. The flavors as sophisticated and refined as Elven steel, creating a symphony of tastes that rule over all other sustenance, binding them to its will. I am bound to this burrito, and it to me. I suspect other patrons are similarly stricken, and happy of their chains. As a wizard, you should take my word for it. Or go to youtube and lookup “Compadres Local burrito London Kentucky” This is practically, exactly, how this burrito was made... I’m pretty sure. I love this burrito.

Second day coming here and the experience was even better than yesterday! I had my order to-go yesterday and the food was amazing (steak burrito, chips+salsa) and it was easily my favorite Mexican food in London, El Dorado probably being my second and previous favorite. This time I ate dine-in and the fella behind the counter recognized me and thanked me for my 5 star review from the previous day, he told me it is just him and his wife running the place and they take weekends off to spend time with the kids as a family. I love the mom-and-pop business spirit and on top of that the food is absolutely amazing and even better when dining in. Everything is immaculately clean and an all around great place for lunch. They definitely deserve a second 5 star review, I will be coming back for sure and thank the owners for an amazing experience.
