The service here is amazing. The ladies are running around getting everything cooked, served, and cleaned up, all with a smile. The aqua fresca was so nice and refreshing - I had the pineapple, which was freshly made and just perfect. The taco I tried here (during a taco tour) was very tasty and had nice roasted jalapenos (Albanil). There was also a toppings bar so you could dress your own tacos, which was very popular with our group. read more

It's easy to get to from 36; only a few blocks down Pecos. So if you're driving along that corridor, it's worth pulling off and grabbing some grub. I had a tasty lamb shank, (falling off the bone, so the steak knife they provided was totally unnecessary), covered in a spicy reddish-brown sauce with roasted chunks of cactus. Yum! With a side of rice 'n' beans, about $10.50. My companion had a big mess of fried meat, grilled peppers, and other stuff... what do they call this dish... covered in cheese, which he folded into yummy corn tortillas and ate fajita-style. Yum again. I wish I had ten stomachs and a pile of money, 'cause I would have liked to try it all... the al pastor we saw turning on a spit was really appealing; and as others have mentioned, they have a gazillion kinds of tacos, and dishes I've never even heard of. That's saying something! Tacos are $2 each, btw, and there's a salsa buffet stand which includes more yummy cactus bits. Can't have enough of those! read more

Went here today, Sunday 2/23/14, for lunch with my husband and kids. When we got there, we were the only ones. We ordered and sat down. About 2 minutes after we sat down, four other families came in. 5 minutes later, they all started getting their food, as well as menudo soup, which we also ordered. By this time, we have not even received our drinks. Horrible customer service. The waitress was handing out treats to the little kids of the Hispanic families, but did not even acknowledged us. Finally 15 minutes after everyone else received their food, we got our drinks. The horchata was ok, but the mango was grossly watered down so I only tasted the sugar. When our food finally arrived, I had to question why this place has such a high rating. The food had absolutely no flavor, with the exception of my son's lamb shank, which was decent. My husband said his gordita was hard like it was made from old dough. My chile rellenos were bland. The menudo soup was watery with no flavors, even when we added thyme, lime juice, and pepper flakes. This is not home cooking, not even close. This is commercialized, all about the profit, restaurant. Everything tasted like it was from a can. Horrible customer service, especially to those who cannot speak spanish, and nasty food. Will not be returning. read more

This place is simply excellent. I found it via a local search on my phone and it made my day. Not only was the food authentic, fresh and delicious, but the atmosphere was festive and the people there were welcoming and service oriented. Fantastic experience! read more

The salsa bar is a great addition, but the food could have been way better. My husband disagrees with me here, because his beef tongue taco (ew!) was stellar, he said. I had the enchiladas suizas, however, and they were bland and uninteresting. Our companion had a burrito and it was just okay. Taqueria el Trompito has an extensive menu and I mean exTENSIVE. It also isn't on the cheap end ... though it's affordable enough. Service was kind of slow on the entrees --- which were delivered separately. Our dessert wasn't even served at all -- we had to ask TWICE for it. And it was bad (pineapple upside down cake). I wouldn't go back. read more

You can't go wrong with these tacos. Whatever kind of meat you want, from whatever part of the animal, they make it and they make it well. However, none of it truly compares to the awesomeness of their pollo asado. The seasonings have been perfect every time. The tortillas are fresh and probably made at the tortillería next door, and the salsa bar has some of the best salsa my picky tongue has tasted. If you are looking for a taco-induced food coma for cheap, this is the place to go. Chase it with horchata, and nothing can go wrong with your day. read more

I was impressed and a bit overwhelmed by their extensive menu. They have a lot of items that you don't find at your average Mexican restaurant. I went with the tacos and they did not disappoint. They were stuffed full of delicious tender beef and pork. They have a bar for the toppings with a great selection. I had to go this time but I will be back to try all of the other goodies they offer. read more

El Trompito Taquería - To go taco toppings. - Mexican Near Me - Denver, Colorado

First time coming here and I was not disappointed. I was looking for an authentic Mexican meal that is not your usual flare. I chose this place because they have tongue and tripe tacos. And now I can't get enough of this place! So far I head tried the tongue, tripe, chicharon rojo, head, lamb, carnitas, cheek, and even the shrimp cocktail. I will say that I can do without the cocktail but all the tacos taste so good! Each bite is full of flavor. Some meats are crispy, and some just melt in your mouth. My goal is to eventually try all of them. They do serve other things like the sandwiches, and burritos. But I won't get to those until I am done with the taco list. Service is also good, they do speak English so that's a plus. They also have a salsa/fresh greens bar. It isn't much but good enough. The price is also pretty cheap at around $2/taco. Looking forward to coming back, probably next week! read more

We come here all the time! It's always clean, fast and all the staff are really nice. You can see the owner doing table visits regularly. Our favorites: smother chile relleno burrito (green chile has pork, so it won't work for vegetarians), chicken flautas (they're big and have a lot of meat) and the asada & pastor tacos. I really like that they have the well stocked salsa bar most of the time and you can walk in to the next door homemade ice cream shop! We usually come here on Sundays after church and they get really busy! Last time my order took longer than usual and the cashier had to jump into the kitchen to help out with the orders. Overall good authentic taqueria style food for sure! read more

My wife and I were hungry near my shop and wanted real mexican food. A quick look at Yelp and we found this place nice and close and with amazing reviews. Well here comes another one. We ate here 2 nights in a row, partly because we were starving both nights and lost track of time and secondly, we wondered if the first time was too good to be true. Previous reviews saying the menu is in spanish is in my opinion a little misleading or they have changed it. There are translations, and heck, its mexican food with a picture menu on the wall if you want. The order taker behind the counter also spoke excellent english. The smothered burrito is huge and great as was everything else we ordered. We concluded we could probably order that and split it. The chips that come with an order of chips are thick, and amazing. We will be back. Ice cream place and bakery next door look worth a try too. read more

Authentic Food! Best mole I've ever had. They have an awesome salsa bar with fajita vegetables that you can add to any dish or to go. Good service. Lots of seating. read more

Hands down the best tacos for miles. Super friendly staff, reasonably priced, and did I mention that the tacos are super tasty? I make a point to come here every time I'm in the area for work. I come hungry, and I never leave disappointed. The salsa bar is well-stocked and kept at a good temperature. Muchas gracias! read more

After a fun day at Water World, my boyfriend and I were in the mood for Mexican food. I was a little thrown off with ordering the food at the counter and then sitting. He ordered the carne asada and I order the enchiladas in mole sauce. We really enjoyed our meals there. The items tasted fresh and was well prepared and presented well. read more

Decent place to grab some good authentic Mexican food! I will say I've been here quite a few times and be advised it does take awhile to get your food...so this is definitely not a grab and go place. Also, I do feel that they are a little overpriced - but the food is good. read more

If you're unfamiliar with AUTHENTIC Mexican food, this place might scare you slightly. Otherwise, you will love the huge menu and you'll be wanting to come back to try other items you saw that you couldn't get this time. My husband always orders one of their Lengua tacos along with one of the many selections, and has also ordered their menudo before. Always hits the spot, and he's Mexican by the way. I am a burrito gal, and they have one of the tastiest burritos that I doubt I'll find anywhere else. It's a Chile Relleno Burrito, and I ask for it smothered in green chile for the extra $1. It's just spicy enough and the burrito is big, I usually finish up to 3/4 of it and take the rest to go, because I WILL be snacking on it later. The traditional salsa bar is nice. Food is ready relatively quickly and they bring it out to your table. Diners in this hole-in-the-wall location are usually hispanic and they have Telanovelas playing on the tv during the day. They have some desserts, but my recommendation is to walk next door (there is an open archway from inside) to get some homemade ice cream. read more

Ok street tacos, but not great. They have a large menu for dine in an to go. They could improve a little bit in cleanliness.

Fantastic everything! Order anything and it's good. We enjoyed the green enchiladas, the tripe taco, and the mixote - yum!!! read more

Excellent! Rico!! I love it!! I'm from D.F. Mexico City and this is the best place to eat Mexican City food. They have everything; place is clean, they speak English, and food is great!. You should try the best Mexican City food! :) read more

Truly authentic quality Mexican Food. Have tried various dishes and no disappointments as of yet. The tortas are delicious, my favorites are the Niurka & Milanesa. The staff is very friendly.

If I could do one star I would. Worst Mexican food I've ever had in my lifeeee. Rice tasted like crap, meat tasted worse and the chips tasted like cardboard. So disgusting and the owner was a rude women and her employees were even more rude. Lol joke of a taco shop! Nasty ass food read more

Awesome spot for good authentic Mexican food. It's a little pricey for a "hole in the wall" spot; however, the food is good. The chili relleno with green chili sauce is my favorite. Nice friendly and pleasant staff. Very accommodating. read more

Great little place. You wouldn't expect the food to be anything worth while, from the outside exterior. But it's GOOD. I specifically come here for the barbocoa tacos. Tacos are made fresh and cost $2.00. Big salsa bar and super friendly staff. Larger than expected coming inside, plenty of seating. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR FOOD. read more

Spicy!! Was pretty busy and got our food in a decent amount of time. I will be retuning!! Our bill was about $22 for 7 tacos and order of rice and beans. read more

We used to come to this spot regularly for their tacos and caldo de res. Today we came back after a few months of not having been in a while! I was super excited because these are our favorite tacos out of all the other taco spots we've tried around Westminster and it's surrounding area. I'm pretty sure the food is still good, but the lady who took our order today was extremely rude and had a HUGE attitude problem with me as I was ordering my beloved tacos! We're currently waiting for our food as I write this review and I cannot wait to get out of here. I wouldn't want to come back unless the guy who used to take our orders is here. It would've been 5 stars, but service is everything and no one wants to deal with a puta when they're hungry. read more

This place is soooo good!!! The tacos and the tortas take me back to Mexico! They have a salsa bar that gives you the liberty to add as much or as less as you'd like. YUMMMMMOOO! read more

Grossest Burrito Ever! I ordered the basic pork Burrito to go. I got: - Out of the can Refried beans (you know those brown mushy ones) - No rice - No meat - but literally blond mushy fat pcs that I spit half of them out - zero flavor - All this for $8! What a joke. (on me! I felt) Save yourself the headache and order French-Fries to-go for $2.50. They can't screw that up. ps: Plus for a Taqueria (not in any upscale part of Denver) the rest of the menu was the most expensive I've ever seen for a Taqueria from coast to coast! Close to $20 for some entrees! read more

I ordered through DoorDash. Tacos arrive with no salsa, no onions, no lime or cilantro. I called the restaurant and they told me that they instructed the DoorDash driver to help himself to the salsa bar. WTF??? He is a Door Dash driver not an employee of the restaurant. No offense to the driver but I really don't want him picking out and serving up my condiments. That is the restaurants job!!!! I also ordered Consome De Borrego, this dish is traditionally served with onion, lime and cilantro. Nothing. These people dropped the ball. They obviously do not really care about the customer. read more

Best tacos ever! This place is worth the 20 minute drive. If you want delicious real authentic tacos, this is your place! Great pricing too. The two best tacos are the Al Albanil and the barbacoa, hands down! They also have amazing tortas and really good chili cheese fries! read more

Authentic Mexican food, great service and inexpensive! So happy having a meal here!

Shhhhh. You have to keep this quiet! There is a secret brother/sister hood of taco eaters formed from a society of taco eating yelpers. Their mission? To weed out the bad and savor the good. We had a small group meeting here guided by Matt P's vision of sampling all 21 of the types of tacos that they serve. We achieved to varying degrees of success our tasting mission. The verdict? Mostly good, some excellent! I've been told one of the brotherhood squealed like a pig and his reward? A cursed ROTD! He will be banned from future sortees! Only the tacogente' are allowed this privileged information! (disregard his comment about the pancita de borrego, I speak true when I say there is a mild taste of caca de borrego inside!). nueve. read more

I just had the worst experience that I've ever had in any business establishment. The owner took our order, which is the first time I've ever met him. First of all, my coworkers and I come here up to twice a day. Yes the food is expensive but what we order is healthy so its worth the convenience. I questioned why we would pay $18.44 for two pieces of pollo asado and a side of guac when it was $10 on Saturday the owners response was if I wanted cheaper chicken I could go to king soopers and make my own or I can find a different restaurant to eat at. Then he started cursing in spanish about me to his workers. I am completely disgusted with the customer service. I will never ever go here again even though I love the food. I will warn everyone else to stay clear as well. read more

We stopped in after yelping for area tacos....what luck! The menu has everything from tortas to enchiladas but I think the vast choice of taco fillings might be the most extensive I've seen! I enjoyed lamb, pastor and chicarrones tacos. Delicious. The salsa bar was excellent with spicy red sauce and fresh cilantro and limes. My husbands smothered burrito had him swooning. I will certainly be back, worth a road trip! read more
