About El Troquero

El Troquero is a restaurant known for its excellent service and good food, particularly the Mexican dishes. The owner, Alfredo, is praised for his hard work and friendliness. The restaurant offers a laid-back atmosphere and is suitable for families. One of their dishes, Elote Mexicano, has a unique taste due to the use of Tajin chili powder and Cotija cheese, which may have a higher salt content. The drinks, like the perfectly refreshing strawberry agua fresca and solid margaritas, are tasty. The food, especially for those from South Texas, can bring a taste of home, with highlights like the Burrito Vallarta packed with shrimp and great sauces. Dishes are cooked to order, and the quesadilla has minimal grease. The menu includes fajitas, burritos, soup, and a whole vegetarian section. It is a nice-sized restaurant with plenty of parking, good for groups. They offer plenty of chips and salsa, but note there is a 3% charge for credit card payments. Guests often praise the quick, fresh food and polite staff, and the churros are highly recommended for dessert. Some reviews mention that the service can be slow at times, and waiting for entrees might take a while, but overall, visitors find the food satisfying and worth trying. El Troquero is a good spot for families and groups seeking flavorful Mexican dishes. Highly recommended!
