El Compadre

Situated on the square in Paoli, In. this was a bright, cheerful oasis on a rainy Wednesday evening. We were seated immediately. The menu is large and varied. With combo platters, meals and vegetarian offerings, there is something for everyone. We started with the special guacamole. This is guac dressed up to go to town! With diced tomatos, onions, peppers and the avocado diced instead of mashed. A lovely and tasty presentation. The house salsas were fresh and flavorful. For my meal I had the California burrito, featuring shredded pork, rice, beans, bell peppers and onions and dressed with queso and green sauce. This burrito was giant! Stuffed with fresh ingredients, lightly spiced and delicious. I was able to eat only half, despite my best efforts! Accompanying the meal I had a lime margarita on ice, just the right balance if sweet and sour. There is a full bar. Service was friendly and prompt. This will be a new destination for us!

I just love coming here for the atmosphere as well as the food. Alexis usually waits on us and she is amazing as well as Tony who is the Manager. We always sit on the bar side because it is a lot quieter. I have been ordering the tacos lately with the hard shells and they have been really good. My husband doesn't have anything in particular that he gets. They do have the best margaritas, though. I usually order a half pitcher on the rocks with a straw, no glass
