ABOUT US
OUR HISTORY
Since 1975, El Compadre Restaurant in Hollywood has been one of Southern California's hot spots for Mexican cuisine and drinks. Located along trendy Sunset Blvd in the city of Los Angeles, it was founded by lifelong friends. The restaurant fashions the look and feel of an "old world hacienda". Lined with clay roof tiles, wrought iron lanterns and stained glass chandeliers, its walls grace Mexican heritage with paintings, artifacts, antiques and vase floral trimmings.
We specialize in showcasing "The fine foods of Mexico". We serve family recipes handed down over generations using select cuts of meats, and choice seafood alongside season fresh vegetables. Our chefs prepare our dishes to render "traditional tastes, with fresh flavors" in every bite. We have a dedicated full bar area where we serve mixed cocktails, imported and domestic beers and our legendary and famous "Flaming Margarita". Coupled with live nightly music from a trio singing Mexican classics and with a dimly lit, sultry lighting, our romantic ambienece is unmatched.
OUR FUTURE
Over the years we have annexed and expanded our restaurant and services, complete with our 2004 opening of El Compadre Restaurant 7 miles east of Hollywood located in the hip area of Echo Park. Our newest addition opened in 2014 in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles across from the Staples Center and Convention Center. Today, El Compadre Restaurant is still family owned and operated.
