Dos Compadres Mexican Restaurant has been a beloved Midland staple for years, tucked into the heart of Oak Ridge Square at 2200 W. Wadley Avenue. Sharing the plaza with the likes of Pizza Hut, Smoothie King and La Bebe Boutique, it’s easy to pop in for a margarita and a bite either before or after your other errands—and you’ll often find both the bar and dining room buzzing with regulars from across town.
Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the art‑filled walls and vibrant décor that give Dos Compadres its warm, casual vibe. Colorful murals of desert landscapes and folkloric motifs set the scene, while strings of lanterns overhead cast a soft glow on clean, comfortable tabletops. It’s the kind of place where friends linger over pitchers of house‑made margaritas long after the plates are empty, and where families feel right at home arriving en masse for a celebratory meal.
The menu sticks to the classics you’ve come to expect from great Mexican cooking, executed with care and consistency. Start with a steaming bowl of queso fundido or a platter of crispy taquitos, then move on to oversized enchiladas smothered in red or green chile sauce. Tacos al pastor, carnitas and chile rellenos all make regular appearances, and the full bar means you can pair your meal with a frosty cerveza or one of their signature margaritas—spicy jalapeño, mango‑paloma or the ever‑popular Cadillac version with a float of Grand Marnier.
Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch between meetings or settling in for dinner and drinks with friends, Dos Compadres offers a reliably friendly atmosphere, solid service and flavors that hit the spot every time. They’re open Thursday through Wednesday from 11 AM to 10 PM (closed Sundays), so next time you’re craving authentic Mexican fare—plus a little splash of local color—you know exactly where to go.
