From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was enveloped in an ambiance that seamlessly blended rustic charm with modern elegance.
The aroma of slow-cooked meats and spices filled the air, creating an anticipation that was soon to be rewarded. My culinary journey began with the taco birria, a dish that has quickly become a signature offering at Dos Compadres.
The presentation alone was a work of art, with tender, succulent birria overflowing from handmade tortillas.
The first bite was an explosion of flavor – the rich, savory birria, perfectly complemented by the subtle heat of the consommé, created a symphony of taste that lingered on the palate.
The accompanying salsa verde, vibrant and tangy, added another layer of complexity to this already exquisite dish. Throughout the meal, our server, Geraldo, exemplified the gold standard of service.
His knowledge of the menu was impressive, his recommendations were spot-on, and his attentiveness to our needs was unwavering.
Geraldo's genuine warmth and passion for the restaurant were evident in every interaction, making our dining experience all the more memorable. The atmosphere at Dos Compadres strikes the perfect balance between lively and intimate.

Food was good! We also got a table pretty quick! The service was okay, the waiter took our order, brought the food out and we never saw him again.
Was never able to get a refill on my drink or the check until I asked another waiter for it so I could pay.

Just kickin some dirt clods with my old pal Peter Punkaneater, we just finished laying out the string lines for this years garden.
We were on our way to Dos Compadres Restaurant for the best tacos ever! and I asked Peter, "Peter Punkaneater, how does your garden grow" there's a lot of work to do, it's 6 acres and you plant everything you can think of.
Peter tells me his ranch Forman Arturo Sanchez Gutierrez Wong and his son take care of everything and they take all the vegetables to the Farmers Market, he has a booth there, and the name of his booth is, One Wong Turn at the Boarder Vegetables. He tells me the Tacos de Carne Asada are the best on Modesto, and he was right...they were Amazing! 5 stars all day long.
