| - I was really, really looking forward to eating here. I love mexican food, not the tex-mex, americanised "mexican" food,but the real thing. After having spent some time driving through Mexico this year, and eating lots of authentic mexican food, I came back to Canada craving to relieve my experiences, but there are very few places where a girl can quench her taco cravings in this city.
We were a party of four,( me and the bf, and another couple) and It was very busy when we arrived, but there was still a patio table available so we grabbed it. We were then ignored by the waitstaff for about 10 mins. I finally flagged the waitress down and asked if we could have some menus, which she brought out. Like other reviews have stated, the prices are steep for tacos, and we were starving, so we knew that five little tacos weren't gonna do it for us.
We got five tacos each, a mix of chorizo,al pastor and pollo tinga. We also got the guacamole and pico de gallo to share. Our companions got the chuleta con queso tacos, and the chuleta tacos respectively. We also got a chicken tinga quesadilla each, because like I said, we were starving. The guac was awesome, with little chunks of onion and tomato throughout, the pico de gallo was a bit spicy and really fresh. The tacos were good, I really enjoyed the al pastor, and my companion prefered the chorizo and thought the al pastor were a little dry for his taste. The chicken tinga tacos were meh. I was expecting better, and was sadly dissapointed. Our friends both liked their tacos, and the chuleta con queso looke really good and goey. The chiken tinga quesadilla was fine, but again we were not impressed by it. We finished the meal off with their mango cheesecake, and it was delicious.
The whole meal came to $75, before tip. So, yeah a little too steep for what should really be cheap, street food.
The main reason why they lost 2 stars though, was the service. Like I said earlier we were ignored for 10mins at the beginning, then throughout the meal our waitress was unpleasant, she even seemed anoyed when were not ready to order the first time she came to check on us. To top it all off, after were done with our meal we asked for the bill, and it took her 15 mins (seriously! ) to bring it out.
All in all, it was good food, but a little expensive for what you are getting, and the service really needs to be improved on. I will return, but I don't think I'm going to be making El Trompo my go to place when Im craving mexican.
