An excellent, authentic Mexican restaurant in the heart of Toronto's Kensington Market.
To start, El Trompo creates its own tortillas in its basement. The tacos are their specialy: Served will small, light tortillas, tasty marinated meats and topped with cilantro and onions. They also serve traditional Mexican drinks like Horchatas. To clog your arteries, try the Queso de Chicharon (fried cheese).
The place is small, tight and cozy. The wait staff is efficient and friendly. There's a nice little patio spot during the summer.
El Trompo does not serve Tex Mex food. They proudly offer authenticity and they're rewarded by a loyal Mexican ex-pat customer base. Give it a go if you're looking for super casual, no frills authentic Mexican grub. Go to Taco Bell if you want the super-sized stuff.
