| - I think my expectations for El Trompo were a little too high because of all the reviews I read previous to my trip.
Don't get me wrong, the experience overall, was still great. I sat outside on the patio, which is very small, yet extremely charming.
We started with the guac and chips - a must. I can confidently state that it was the best guacamole I had ever tasted. If you are one for chunkier dips, this isn't for you. The texture was extremely creamy, it mimicked butter.
Next up, I ordered the chicken tinga. I'll be honest, it wasn't my favourite, but they were very reasonably priced (5 for $10). I was expecting it to be a lot more spicy, so I topped each taco with a mound of what seemed to be homemade hot sauce. The flavour was pretty underwhelming, but I can say that the tortillas were great.
Not much to say about the margaritas other than the fact that they were tasty and super festive.
One last thing I want to add is that I was heartbroken to find out that the churros were only served on weekends. Quite a tragedy. My heart, however, has mended and I will be back to get a taste of these fried goodies!
