Ordered Hongo Tacos (5 pcs) and Cochinita Pibil Tacos (5 pcs) for lunch and it was amazing! Great portion for very good price. Amazing taste. No pictures because after the first bite we just ate up everything so fast. But we are willing to try every other Tacos from this restaurant. Worth leaving a review to remember later.

El Trompo was the perfect place for us to stop for lunch after a long walk through the city. The food is amazing, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is super warm and inviting. My partner is celiac (needed gluten free food) and the server was super knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring that most things could be made gluten free no problem. We had the Al Pastor tacos and the Tinga tacos, with chips and guac, and it was all SO GOOD. I would include pictures except we inhaled it. Can’t wait to stop in again!

Located in Kensington Market on Augusta Avenue, El Trompo offers a vibrant dining experience with both indoor and outdoor seating options. A highlight of the visit was the solo Spanish musician singing outside and the delicious tacos!
During our visit, we ordered the Horchata and Jamaica for drinks which paired very well with the tacos. For starters, we ordered the Pico de Gallo, which was seasoned very well and had a perfectly light kick of jalapeño. The tacos did not come with garnish, and the leftover Pico de Gallo helped add to some of the ordered tacos, which included Lengua, Cochinita Pibil, and Al Pastor. The taco portion sizes are considered fairly priced, with five small tacos available for around $15, depending on the dish choice. The Lengua (beef tongue) was unexpectedly our favourite, with the texture and seasoning. The Al Pastor, which was their famous popular choice, lived up to its fame with its flavorful marinated pork and the addition of pineapple, which was refreshing. Do note, the Pescado (white fish) is not priced the same as the 5 pieces and is actually priced per 1 piece. At a later visit, we ordered the Pescado (3 pieces); it was good, fresh and came with cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle aioli.
The outdoor area accommodates approximately 20 to 25 patrons, featuring 14 tables for two, while the indoor space can seat around 25 to 30 guests. The bathroom is located downstairs. Service at El Trompo was great, with staff frequently checking in to ensure we were cared for. They accept credit card payments and use a handheld device for both order taking and bill payment.

Some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Toronto, such flavourful and delicious tacos, quesadillas, nachos, guacamole, and anything else you can think of. The service is quick and they’re very attentive. In the wonderful heart of Kensington market, would highly recommend this place :)

WE LOVE THIS PLACE! ITS COMFORT, ITS GOOD FOOD, ITS GOOD ATMOSPHERE. THE SIDE SOUP IS A HIDDEN GEM, ALSO OBSESSED WITH THE TINGA TACOS, PASTOR IS ALSO YUM! KIND AND ATTENTIVE SERVICE. WE PRAY THIS PLACE ALWAYS REMAINS!
I had the most delicious fish taco. An hour later I have a high fever, severe stomach cramps and I am throwing up. Hands down this was the worst food poisoning I’ve had ever.
