Taqueria El Trompo

Taquería El Trompos on Callahan Road is a solid choice for authentic Mexican street tacos and classic Tex-Mex fare in San Antonio. The restaurant has a casual, no-frills atmosphere, making it a good spot for a quick and affordable meal.

The menu features a variety of tacos, including favorites like al pastor, carne asada, and carnitas. The al pastor, cooked on a traditional trompo, is delicious! It's tender, well-seasoned, and topped with fresh cilantro and onions. The carne asada is decent, ours was a little bit chewy. The tortillas, freshly made and warm, add a nice homemade touch.

Beyond tacos, they serve burritos, quesadillas, and plates like fajitas and enchiladas. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making it a good value for the amount of food you get. The salsa bar offers a decent selection, with a spicy verde and a smoky red salsa being the highlights.

Service is friendly but can be slow during peak hours. The dining area is clean but basic, with minimal decor. This is more of a grab-and-go or casual dine-in spot than a place to linger.

Taquería El Trompos delivers tasty, authentic tacos at a fair price. While it may not be the best taquería in San Antonio, it’s a reliable option for satisfying Mexican street food. If you're in the area and craving al pastor or a quick bite, it’s worth a try.

Great food and service!
Trips tacos were great as were the street tacos!

Their food is delicious!!! Great service!!

No. Just no. Get your tacos elsewhere.

You don't expect to find places like this in a strip mall. Judge a place first by it's coffee & tortillas, then it's staff and finally their food. This place has an undeniable magic and warmth with maybe the perfect cup of coffee. The one thing I could say this place could do better is wear that cozy magic on your sleeve and get some plants and earthen colors going to compliment the modern. It's a very clean and modern taco joint, but that sleekness on it's own betrays the underlying warmth.

I didn't go there but my brother did, said it was great five stars all around

Staff is friendly. I got the chicken enchilada plate. Lady asked me if everything was alright, which I said yes but I don't really like to complain in person. I just wanted to pay and go. The chicken seemed old and dry. It was hard to cut into the enchilada. The beans also looked old and dry to me. I did like their sweet tea and in Texas you can't mess that up.

The meat was very tender and flavorful, the problem is it’s overpriced, 5 mini tacos at 13$ is about 2.6$ per mini taco which is very expensive also this place is sit down with waiter/waitress so tips are expected making it even more expensive.

The salsa was extremely bland and at the time they didn’t have any red salsa or any spicy salsa. The green sauce was like tomatillos and water.

Overall would not recommend or go back again.
