the worst taste, my “torta” was spoiled and my tacos only tasted of salt. I loved these tacos, do you know who the cook was I think they change?

Unfortunately got to watch the quality of food just drop off. I first ordered this place a long time ago. I actually got Trompo. Today I got I don’t know what. Definitely cutting corners and not giving that I paid

They changed their recipe or something because it taste a lot different and spicier that it was originally, gave my toddler some of my food before I ate it and the meat ( trompo ) was too spicy and it tasted weird. I ordered 45 tacos for my crew also and they weren’t happy about it either, will have to find a new spot

This used to be maybe the best Trompo in Dallas (all locations).The meat and red salsa are just perfect. Until recently... They have completely changed recipes. The meat/marinade is completely different. The salsa is more of a tomato puree than a creamy spicy red. The ingredients in the burrito changed. The sizes changed. Even the tortilla changed for the worse. Why fix what was never broken? I hope the significant changes being made save the company a ton of money and makes it worth it for them because it is such a drastic difference it is merely a shell of its former self and former flavors. So disappointing. Just see the color of the meat change from my photos to some of the others posted.

Worst torta I've ever had, $10 for a fist full of lettuce and they only put single slice of ham on it. Never returning.

This place is located inside of the gas station, but don't discount it. The tacos are quite good. Corn tacos are cheaper than flour, but even flour tacos are inexpensive. The ten taco deal is not as good as it once was. The barbacoa in particular is so soft and fatty and delicious. It's some of the best barbacoa I've had. The lengua and the carnitas were decent, but nothing special.There's not much to say about the service, it's just a window in the back of the gas station where a man will take your order and then a few minutes later you'll get your tacos. There are four tables lined up nearby if you want to sit but it's hard to call it a full restaurant.
Inside the Valero gas station, great tacos and fast service. Good salsas on the side. Churros were delicious.

The Trompo was burnt as if I requested it to be cremated. Might have been tasty if not so

For the location its in, this is one of the better places to get authentic tacos from. Pulling up and walking in, this place is not obvious to anyone passing by. The sign for this place is slightly bigger than a license plate on the wall. Its mostly a gas station, but they did have a generous amount of area carved out for the kitchen, as well as three tables you can sit at. The staff here speak english and spanish, but it was good practice for me to order in spanish. I got the Hawaiian torta, as well as one trompo taco on corn. The torta here is fantastc! I dont want to claim its the best Ive had, but I will say its a new personal favorite of mine. One thing that stood out to me was how much mayo they used. Every bite felt like mayo was well pronounced in flavor and texture. I personally thought this enhanced the meal, but some people may be weirded out by this. Well proportioned in the ratio of all the ingredients, the bun was soft but still held up, and the pineapple actually stood out without hogging up the flavor in the forefront. Its also a pretty big sandwich, so if you are a dainty eater, you share share this or take the other half to go. Although the menu says it comes with one "patty", I didnt see any hamburger meat in mine. While I was happy with my overall order, I was left a little confused on whether I misunderstood or they messed up. The trompo here is heavily doused in annato seed and pineapple. This is actually a good thing! Some places are light handed on these ingredients, but not here! The meat itself is tender and juicy. My biggest complaint is there is no char what so ever. Its not a deal breaker, but it makes me question if the trompo spit's temperature is set lower than it should be. One of the unique factors of cooking with the vertical spit IS the charred texture you get from how its cooked. I like that the taco order comes from raw and grilled onions. The tortilla itself was not the most sturdy, but it had a good corn flavor. The salsa here is definitely fresh, especially when one of the workers is sitting outside the kitchen using the blender to make the salsa. It was a little annoying having the blended whirling away at full blast as I try to enjoy the meal for half the time I was there. They have a mini fridge where they store it, which I appreciate more than just a bucket of ice. Both the red and green salsas have a generous amount of spicy kick that excites me tongue, tingles my scalp, but doesnt leave me uncomfortable by any means. Both are fantastic, but the green was more refreshing.
