Tío Trompo Reviews
Tio Trompo is a true taqueria with authentic Mexican food! Ricardo (owner) and his staff, Miguel (a real vaquero), and Juana serve the best tacos I've ever had. What's crazy is there are a dozen Mexican Restaurants within a 1-mile radius but not one of them is as good as Tio Trompo. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just had lunch here, service was great, friendly and the tacos were awesome! Highly recommend
Ordered a few breakfast tacos, this morning:
Friendly and fast service, delicious tacos, generous portions! Will definitely be back for more. Hear they are open till 8 pm- which means I’ll grab my dinner from there next time.
Later today ordered from Pacific CoastTacos- not impressed. Super thin tortillas that fall apart, over sauced and over salted. Pretty presentation, though.
Ridiculously soupy/ runny queso, too.

Tío Trompo offers authentic Mexican cuisine reminiscent of Mexico City. Their al pastor and breakfast tacos, including chorizo and egg, bacon and egg, and barbacoa, are highly praised. The Samuel, with grilled jalapeño, onion, and beef fajita on a corn tortilla, is a standout dish. Customers often customize their tacos by adding sautéed onions and jalapeños, and enjoy the two different salsas and pickled onions that come with them. The food, including tortillas, beans, and rice, is freshly made and well-seasoned, with rice described as especially good. The restaurant provides quick and friendly counter service and is known as a neighborhood favorite, offering a one-stop shop for breakfast and delicious Mexican food.
Customers describe the tacos as fresh, twice the size they expected, and delicious, with great homemade salsas on the side. The staff is always welcoming, and the small but clean restaurant serves the food quickly. The breakfast and lunch tacos are highly recommended, and the restaurant is a local favorite worth supporting.
