I recently embarked on a culinary journey to El Trompo, a place where the promise of authentic Mexican cuisine lured me in like a siren's song. Let's just say, it was an adventure. The decor was a delightful explosion of color and culture, making me feel like I'd stumbled upon a fiesta in someone's living room. The mariachi music was a nice touch, although I'm pretty sure the guy singing was auditioning for a local karaoke bar. Now, let's talk about the food. The chips were sturdy enough to build a small civilization with, but the salsa was a bit of a rollercoaster. One moment it was a gentle breeze of flavor, the next a fiery hurricane up my nose. I'm still recovering. As for the main event, the tacos, I was expecting a flavor explosion. What I got was more like a gentle whisper. They were polite, but lacked the passion I crave from my Mexican food. It was like dating someone who's really nice but totally forgettable. Overall, El Trompo is a place where you might find a hidden gem, but you might also end up with a case of mild indigestion. Your call, amigo.

This place looks small in a shopping center but it is deceiving! It is so stunningly beautiful and huge inside! I love the decor and the vibe it’s so cool. We will definitely be back. The only thing better than the stunning decor and atmosphere is the amazing food. We both ordered the Quesabirria and it was killer and an enormous portion we could have shared one order. It was so delicious with the best rice I’ve ever gotten at a Mexican restaurant ( and I’m originally from Los Angeles California) the wait staff was quick and efficient and we had refills once our drink was half empty. I highly recommend! We had two packed full boxes of leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

We ate here today for the first time for my daughter's birthday. The atmosphere was great and service was great also. The drinks were really good we ordered a mangonada and a mint and cucumber margarita. We ordered queso, chicken quesadilla, a tropical avocado salad and tacos dorados. My daughter loved the quesadilla but the salad had very little lettuce and was very plain (presentation was beautiful though). The tacos dorados I ordered with chicken and the chicken was very dry, unseasoned and very hard to chew because it was so dry. (Presentation was beautiful again though). We really enjoyed ourselves and the atmosphere was great and inviting.

This place not only has great food and drinks but has a very fun and lively vibe! Staff are super friendly and the manager checks on you to make sure you are having a good experience. The first time I went they had a free photo booth and the second time they had a giant transformer looking thing dancing in the aisles. They even gave people free shots! They also have burgers and fries if you are not wanting traditional Mexican food. I highly recommend El Trompo if you are looking for an entertaining place with great Mexican food!

Let’s talk margaritas first! These are everything you could possibly hope for - just ask! Service is amazing from every one on staff, the food is out of this world, I suggest the el molcojete if you can handle a really big meal! The flavors are ridiculously good, as are sights! Guacamole station comes straight to your table and prepared in front of you. The costumed characters are lots of fun and it’s a great place for a birthday celebration! FREE TEQUILA SHOT! 🥳

The decor is beautiful! I feel like I’m in an art museum. Music, live entertainment, great food, decorative drinks, all right here in my hometown. Fajitas or Molcajete are two of my favorites at El Trompo. If you aren’t that hungry, they have smaller portions like tacos or quesadilla options. Remember to take some change or small bills for candy and chicle (gum). 🍫
