Don't let those gas pumps outside fool you!…read more I once again found myself in Rowlett visiting friends and this was the first place Jerry took me for lunch. When he said these were the best gas station tacos he wasn't lying! Open 24/7, Twisted Trompo is a gas station Mexican restaurant that specializes in Mexican street style tacos. They share the same building with the Chevron convenient store which takes up a third of the building. Right outside are the gas pumps. The interior is nicely decorated with bright color, nice booths, tables and chairs. What draws your attention right away are the large plexiglass window openings that show off their state of the art. You'll also notice the large pieces of meat standing vertically on large skewers. In the context of Mexican cuisine, trompo refers to a vertical rotisserie. Meat is skewered and turned slowly as it cooks with the outer layers being shaved off for orders. Their tacos are made from scratch with their authentic Mexican marinade. They also serve breakfast items, quesadillas, tortas, burritos, a salad and a variety of snacks. Menu choices were simple with many combo options. I had to try their trompo meat so I ordered the 3 taco combo. You also get a large cup of mexican rice and refried beans. The rice was nicely flavored with some peas. Yom Yom Yom. The refried beans were also nicely cooked. The made from scratch street style taco flour tortillas complemented the heroes on my tray. The chicken was on par, but the steak and barbacoa were outstanding! The single thin slice of steak was succulent and juicy. Dressed with the fresh onions, cilantro and some of their green hot sauce... Yom Yom Yom Yom! The shredded pieces of the barbacoa were seasoned perfectly and again, wrapped in the tortilla, garnished with onions, cilantro,.. Yom Yom Yom Yom! Even Nick's lengua (beef tongue) was tender and flavorful. So don't let this gas station restaurant fool you. Some of the best food are found in hole-in-the-walls. This was no exception. It reminds me of the humble beginnings of Hoover's Blue Pacific. It's too bad Twisted Trompo isn't here. What a great place to find great food 24/7!

The green salsa paired really well with the pastor, but the red salsa was also really good. My girlfriend got a chicken burrito and I enjoyed that as well!

Lunch with my mom and we shared mixed wings, spicy and honey, for an app, very good! Complimentary chips and salsa as well. We split chicken fajitas (lunch) and Papa ala Huancaina. Great flavor on the fajitas with a nice amount of caramelized veggies. Served with the usual accompaniments and charro beans. The Papa's dish was fabulous. I was skeptical because I asked if it was served hot and it's not. Think a beautifully plated, deconstructed potato salad. If you like potato salad get this! I loved it. Service by Christian was very friendly and helpful. He knows the menu well and his service was exemplary. I highly recommend this family owned spot.

Five stars for the salsa verde Four stars for the barbacoa…read more Three stars for everything else. This place came highly regarded within Reddit threads for tacos in Garland. I had never heard of this place, and since I was in the neighborhood that day, I figure I'd check it out. This place definitely does not cater to gringos, with all the signs in Spanish. The lady who took my order did speak good English but I still ordered in Spanish. If you order for dine in, youll get some tortilla chips. The pastor was good, although there really wasn't much pineapple flavor or char to its texture. It definitely looks impressive though. The lingua was okay, but it could have been better with having some type of Jarred texture or stronger beef flavor. Texture wise, it was quite consistent and enjoyable. No peace was chewy or tough. The barbacoa was probably my favorite! It had the right amount of Grease, but wasn't overly greasy. It had plenty of beef flavor. The green salsa was amazing here! A deep bold pepper flavor, but still felt refreshing and bright. It had a good amount of spice to it too, but nothing that's going to knock you off your ass. If anything, this was my favorite part of the meal. It tasted as good as the salsa Verdes I've had in Mexico! The red sauce is not to be messed with! This was a mouth scorcher, while not being to the point of abysmal pain but not for the faint of heart. A lot of it's flavor reminds me of vinegar. There was another sauce that they kept hot. It tasted like it used dried chili's like a pasilla or guajillo. It was quite different from the usual salsas. I liked it, although it was quite watery in texture and taste.

I got queso from the starters menu- $8.99 for a medium cup. I suppose that is the going rate for queso these days. It came w one small bag of chips, so i have queso leftover and no chips. I ordered a quesadilla- chicken, the menu said it came w/rice and beans. All that was in my box was lettuce garnish and pico and a dollop of sour cream and guac. For $17 Total was $30 for these three items. Really wasn't worth it, from my perspective. Quesadilla and queso was 7/10 on taste.

I will never make another purchase from this establishment. I am proud of my bilingualism; however, to say that the individual on the other end of the line is ineffective is an understatement. I request to communicate with the manager because I did not receive the sauce and cabbage that are included with the popusas. I was initially planning to purchase fifteen, but I am extremely grateful that the lady made an error and only sold me five. Subsequently, they serve a dish that includes four pork skins and eight yuca. A picture of the $12 entree is included. I was informed that the manager was unavailable when I inquired about speaking with them. I am curious as to whether the health department of the city of Garland is in agreement with this.
