Can I say dirty mexican on yelp? What if I prefaced it with it's the best dirty mexican in town?
With all these fancy taco places popping up across the city, it's nice to see El Trompo isn't adding bespoke tacos to their menu.
Their el pastor is the stuff of legends... marinated pork (legend has it they marinate it for 3 days), skewered with pineapple, slow roasted on a spit and shaved off like shawarma. And out of all the taco places, of all price ranges, I'd say El Trompo has the best corn tortillas in the city.
I'm not as big a fan of their guacamole especially compared to more chunky guacamole's in the city hence 4 stars instead of 5 but their chips are delicious!
The location feels a bit like a beach side taco hut, complete with lack of air conditioning replaced with constantly running fans in the summer.
Service was too fast to be friendly but they were always polite.
It's definitely an eat and go type place.
