    Fajitas Texanas, TACOS DE LA SIERRA
    Shirley X.

    My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday evening and it was busy! We did not have to wait for a table but most of the ones surrounding us were full with families. The party music was playing in another section, the TVs had on Mexican soccer and MMA fights, and there were a few birthday celebrations. Our server was not the most attentive but we got our food and it was delicious. The portion sizes were large but the prices were more than a more standard Mexican restaurant.

    If only we could give 6 stars... we had an AMAZING time! Ramiro Ortiz was our server and he absolutely made our experience. He was quick with our orders and drinks, we can't wait to come back and request him! He recommended the meal with the entire octopus and it was incredible. The whole table wished they had gotten it. He recommended one of my family members drinks as well and they loved it, he has great recommendations. There is so many spaces to eat, the outside patio is our favorite.

    Quite possibly the best Mexican I've had in a long time! The tacos al pastor was top notch with three sauces to choose from! The atmosphere is unique as well. From the tree in the middle of the restaurant to the sports on the TV, El Trompo is my go-to place when working in West Chester!

    You can grab a booth or sit at the bar, and they even offer tableside guac. The drinks are pretty typical for this kind of spot (a little heavy on the sugar), but you can ask for them to be made how you like--I had a mezcal margarita that was really good. The fajitas hit the spot, but I'd suggest asking for extra tortillas. This is a great lunch spot--the food came out hot, the portions were generous, and parking was easy. The menu has all the usual suspects--tacos, nachos, fajitas--with a few surprises like seafood dishes. The lunch specials are definitely worth it, especially if you come hungry. Go check it out .

    First the food had outstanding flavor. The restaurant design was cool. This review would have had 5 stars but the reason it didn't was the following... there were 4 people standing at the front and no one brought us drinks or offered anything for over 15-20 minutes. Then 30 minutes after we got our food they took turns coming to ask if we needed anything roughly every 5 minutes with awkward stares. It seemed they were trying to kick us out. I hadn't seen my friend in 5 years so I was looking forward to chatting. We left after an hour which is typical time at a table. The customer service should be better.

    West Chester has it's fair share of Mexican restaurants and El Trompo adds to the list. Luckily it can hold it's own with an extensive menu, good food and friendly service. I stopped in for lunch and they started me off with a bowl of salsa and corn chips. I ordered their Lunch Special #19 which was grilled shrimp and onions served with a salad of lettuce, tomato and sliced avocado, Mexican rice, and a couple of warm, flour tortillas ($12.99). Portions were more than adequate. My meal had 10 medium shrimp which turned out to be more than I could eat. Unless you eat like a Sumo wrestler, you won't go away hungry from here. Both the salsa and the shrimp had a mild heat level which I liked. They have a full bar and an extensive drink menu. Outdoor seating is available in the parking lot area. It's not very inviting but it IS outdoor seating. The atmosphere inside is nice but it's a big open space so noise levels when they are busy could be high. I plan to go there for dinner soon.

    Super tasty food and fast service. The place was packed but our server was never far. I especially love the decorations and vibe!

    Great ambiance and flexibility seating our very large group of 14! The highlight was the table side made Guac (my friend said it was the best she's had), and my tacos were great (Al pastor is solid, lengua was pretty authentic). I hear this place is pretty packed at night and on weekends, but with live music! Check it out-

    Really conflicted on this review. The decor, vibe, and service are a 5/5! We came with a very large group and they were prepared for us. Chips and salsa already on the tables and our server was phenomenal. The food was less than desirable. Not many of us enjoyed our dishes. Over cooked meat and just not good quality ingredients. Our margaritas also tasted off. Some of us couldn't even finish them- we couldn't figure out what it was. But the music, service, and FUN was on point !!

    We had such a nice experience and everyone LOVED their food! The queso was amazing, and the chips…read morewere not too oily and not too salty. They had good drinks that were strong. I personally had the Enchiladas Del Mar, the seafood was so good and all the sides were too. Very quick service as well. The inside is remodeled and new with walls of liquor cabinets - very unique! We want to come back soon, everyone was happy.

    We were heading to the outlet mall and looked for a place for lunch and this place came up. Decent…read morerating and good reviews so we decided to try it out. Weird thing is their hours on the weekend, normally they open at 11:00 but on weekends they open at noon. We got there a little early and waited. Once opened we were promptly seated and received our drink orders. We got the iced teas but I think it was from the soda fountain which is normally nasty and it was. We ordered the queso dip and it was good but it was large. The chips have a flavor which I like, not plain and the salsa was good. I ordered the enchiladas a la Michoacan. It was okay. The chicken was extremely dry and the carnitas and steak were also dry. I believe they were left overs from the previous night. The sauce was good. My wife got the taco salad and it was full and not watery but the shell was soft like it was from the previous night and kept overnight. Not greasy just soft like it was stale. The food was good and maybe next time we will come after they have opened a while and hopefully get fresh food. We will give them another try since they have such good reviews but not today.

    I traveled to Austin earlier this year for work and every Austinite I asked for food…read morerecommendations suggested Torchy's Tacos as a city classic. Regretfully, I never made it to a Torchy's while in Texas--but luckily there's this one right in my backyard at home in Ohio. Torchy's is the Austin institution that went mainstream and is slowly spreading around the country. You'll order on a touchscreen kiosk and choose from tons of different taco and bowl combinations--including breakfast all day! Grab your cup and a buzzer and take a seat; servers will bring out your food as it's ready. I was pretty impressed with the selection overall. From beef to carnitas to chicken to eggs, you can get tons of different taco fillings. The drink station alone is impressive--the typical soda machine options plus iced tea, horchata and even cold brew coffee! There's also a bar if you're inclined to something alcoholic. All of the tacos and the hillbilly queso we ordered were delicious. I was actually impressed with the corn tortillas on my tacos--wasn't expecting them to taste so fresh. Tacos are a great size as well. Two is enough for a decent meal, but they don't pack the toppings on. Any taco you order (I would guess) can be picked up in its entirety. You won't be losing toppings at Torchy's! Service was a bit slow the day I came for lunch but nothing crazy (more like a sit down restaurant than the fast casual it's set up as) and the ambiance is nothing amazing. But the food is delicious, price is decent and I would definitely go back for a little taste of Austin.

    Good location away from the mall parking. Friendly staff…read more Taco were good not knock your socks off but decent. Quick service. Good alcoholic drinks.
