Los Dos Compadres

Two brothers, one truck, zero chairs.

A white truck with a hand-painted menu of eight items and a generator you can hear from the street. The carne asada is chopped fine, salty and charred; the carnitas hit the crisp-to-soft ratio every time.

Bring cash, patience and a napkin strategy. The best dinner you will eat off the hood of your own car.

Short version: go. Long version: still go, but bring cash, patience, and a napkin strategy.

What to order

  • Carne asada: chopped fine, salty, charred. 5/5.
  • Carnitas: crisp bits and soft bits in perfect ratio. 4.5/5.
  • Lengua: tender, beefy, underrated. 4/5.
  • Quesadilla: fine. You did not come here for a quesadilla.

What not to expect

Seating. Shade. A menu longer than eight items. Anyone answering your questions about gluten.

Score: 4.5 / 5. The best dinner you will eat off the hood of your own car.
