Best Dining Bars in Universal City

The food is 12/10, I’ve never had such a good truffle experience. Jacob was a great sever and struck out on all the recommendations. He made it a great experience. The drinks were 9.8/10 that paired well with the food. Happy hour only $10 drinks!

Was recommended this place for their Happy Hour! The bartender made excellent recommendations! Service was excellent. The girls surprised us with a churro waffle for our anniversary with was AMAZING. We will definitely be back again!

I could be the PR for this place. Been bringing many many groups and every time we were pleasantly satisfied in every ways. Yesterday though, we asked for French fries and they didn’t serve as a side dish. Only came with burger or a dish that comes with it. Not extra. Which was a disappointing.

We had an amazing dining experience at El Compadre! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Our waiter was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and quick to recommend some of their best dishes and drinks. Speaking of drinks, they were so much fun! Don’t miss the flaming margarita! Everything was perfectly crafted and added to the festive vibe of the evening. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was packed with flavor, from the fresh guacamole to the perfectly seasoned tacos and enchiladas. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put a lot of care into their dishes. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable for the quality and portions. It’s rare to find a place where you get this level of service, taste, and value all in one. I can’t wait to go back when we visit LA again! Highly recommend El Compadre for a fantastic Mexican dining experience.

Nice atmosphere. I was able to select my table. Drinks were well made. Server was very attentive but Not over baring. The food was Delicious. I had short ribs and daughter had salmon and we both enjoyed them immensely!! Price was high for the portion size and we cleaned our plates. Needless to say, I would return, price and all. We both enjoyed this experience and later in the evening there was a live band.
