Ribbon Cutting at Tacos El Compa

The Castro Valley and Eden Area Chamber of Commerce helped officially welcome Tacos El Compa to the neighborhood with a ribbon cutting ceremony last week. The restaurant did a soft opening back in September but is now operating at full capacity. The family has been in the restaurant business for many years and was inspired to branch out on their own and bring some different Mexican food to the area. Staff members from California State Assemblymember Liz Ortega and County Assessor Phong La were both in attendance. The restaurant says it will be hosting an event on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). Compa comes from the word compadre, which means friend.
