First time here. Came in for the pollo asada special. But oh my goodness amazing workers they have here! The 2 ladies working behind the food had amazing customer service. One of them even gave my daughter a little slice of cake “Cause she’s cute” and they even offered to take my food to the register, since I had my baby in my arms. I could’ve easily done it but wow they were was so amazingly nice! I ended up getting the carnitas special and it’s tasty and the salsa is not too spicy but very flavorful. I will definitely be back to try everything cause of those 2 ladies.

Love this place! I don’t speak too much Spanish, but they always figure out what i want to order. I have tried all the other ones in the area, but this carniceria is the best since it tastes just like how grandma cooked. I go twice a month and drop about $120 and tip the butcher and servers a well earned tip. I even get help to my truck. I always purchase enough for a family meal for six and theres always lots of leftovers . They will also marinate you up anything they got in the butchers display. They just started doing fried fish. I cannot wait to try it out. Thank you for being the best carniceria!

Los Compadres Carniceria in Avondale. Had crispy tripas, carnitas, and barbacoa tacos. I won't order the barbacoa again as the sauce it was cooked in wasn't to my liking. Also had beef chicharones that were excellent. It's a small place but well worth the trip.
