Wow! This was an excellent find while visiting Houston. The food was so good. It was ready within minutes and we enjoyed outside dining. A fantastic casual dining experience!

Delicious tacos. Best barbacoa I’ve had. The fajita is good as well. The pastor was good but there are better. Exquisite homemade guacamole and the margaritas are great.

Don't let this meager outside appearance fool you, they've got great tacos that are fresh made and we'll worth the price. At first I was skeptical, $4 for one taco with just Chicken, onion, and cilantro? But when it came it was twice the size I was expecting, tasted great, and had 2 homemade salsas on the side. Will definitely be back regularly!

I'm so happy to have found this taco place near my house. I've tried the breakfast tacos and lunch tacos too, and it's always a great option. Very delicious, and everyone is friendly. Love it :)))

Trumpo better than Fajita. Nachos = Good.

Such a friendly little spot! The staff is always welcoming, the place is small but very clean, and the food comes out quickly. Their breakfast tacos (and everything else we’ve tried) are delicious, and the salsa is fantastic. Definitely worth supporting this local restaurant—you’ll likely end up adding it to your regular rotation because the food is so tasty. Highly recommend!
The best tacos you can find in the surrounding area.

If your looking for a trompo taco fix Tio Trompo is the place your looking for! The trompo nachos are excellent and the staff is very welcoming and professional. I will definitely be coming back to try out other dishes here!

Barbacoa was more greasy than my liking but the fajita taco was great. Great portion size. Get them on corn tortillas.
One bad thing - Wait was terrible! I went on Saturday morning and ordered 4 tacos. Nothing complicated and waited over 30 minutes for it. I hope that was a rare occurrence.

Has potential to be amazing.
Barbacoa is the best I’ve had in HTX. Literally melts in your mouth and has a few pieces that have a nice char. Their potatoes are also seasoned perfectly but their flour tortillas honestly killed the vibe. Tasted store bought with a hint of sourness. Luckily the barbacoa flavor over powered the sourness.
Red salsa has a strong kick and green salsa tasted like cilantro flavored water.
Customer service is amazing and when purchased it was pretty busy but tacos were out in under 10 mins.
Will be back for barbacoa.

As a true taco lover who travels to Mexico City a few times a year just for tacos, I can honestly say Tio Trompo delivers the real deal. These are truly elevated tacos — the kind that immediately transport you straight to Mexico City with every bite.
On top of that, the owner is a total gentleman and makes the whole experience even better. The care and authenticity put into the food and the hospitality shine through.
If you’re looking for a little slice of Mexico City right here in Houston, this is it.
