Tacos el Trompo - Pico de gallo was nasty. Not fresh at all. Burrito was California. The only thing good was the salsa - Mexican Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I ordered on Wednesday Cali fries and two fish tacos for like 17$ total. Deal of the day When I opened the bag I was super disappointed because I asked for red and green sauce. I only had a small green and one red that isn't too hot. BUT I DIDNT REALY NEED THE SAUCES CAUSE THE MEAL WAS COOKED AND SEASONED TO PERFECTION. read more

We were excited to try their taco tuesday specials. There was no salsa bar and tacos were dry. We have tried a different location and liked it. Decorations were nice in there. Service was not bad but not good either. My husband wanted to use restroom and kept getting told someone was in it when 20mins past by and no one came out. No one was ever in there. read more

Disappointed that my carne asada burrito was cold. They didn't even warm the meat or tortilla.

I really like this Taco Shop mainly on Tuesday because their Taco Tuesday is really worth going. Other days it can be a bit pricey considering their portions ain't that big but for Taco Tuesday their prices are great. Food, customer service & the vibe inside is good & I really like the famous Mexican paintings they got inside. I love their corn tortillas that's big when you judging a taco. My fav taco here is the Carne Asada, it's one of the better Carne Asada tacos I've had in SD, true story. Me & my family also love their Adobada tacos very flavorful, the other tacos are ok, the Cabeza needs flavor tho. And they have a great guacamole, we get a bowl of Guac with chips & it hit's the spot. You need to get their Roll Tacos they are legit, very fresh & crunchy my kids love them & they have a really good red & brown salsa. Overall it's a good Taco Shop me & the fam like & will continue to come mainly on Tuesday's of course for Taco Tuesday :) read more

Tacos el Trompo - Hand made tortillas, good Adobada taco & In my opinion the best Asada taco in SD!They add beans to it, it makes it better - Mexican Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I was excited about visiting this place since I had great results from their sister location in Logan Heights. I had three al pastor tacos for $1.50 each for their Friday and Saturday special. Then tacos were okay. I was disappointed that they pork meat did not come right off the vertical trompo which is the way it should, but rather is was heated on a hot griddle. That is huge because the meat was missing that charred flavor from the direct fire when it is on the trompo. The corn tortillas were inconsistent. Some parts of the tortillas were soft and others were kinda hard, especially the ends. The guacamole was very good. Service at the counter was good. read more

Good food not great, not really felt like a taco joint, felt like a generic Mexican spot. Had okay food, nothing out of the ordinary. Good service with a clean place to eat. The artwork gave it a cool feeling to the place. read more

It was new years day, so may not have been the best time to come since they seemed short staffed. But ultimately food came at a reasonable time. Came for the carne asada fries, they were pretty good! Crispy thin fries, dollops of sour cream, guac and lots of cheese - the carne asada was bomb. The tacos we might have to come back to try. Ambiance was great, decor better than most taco shops. Plenty of seating and salsa available. read more

Great artwork hanging on the wall and good customer service. We happened to be in the area and saw this place. Any place with a trompo in the name and logo has to have good adobada. I was right. The adobada is delicious with little bits of char on it from the fire. I definitely regret not getting two tacos instead of a Mulita. It was a little light on the meat and the tortillas on top and bottom were thick. They kind of overpower the meat. I also had a taco de cabeza. It was stuffed with super soft and tasty meat. Solid taco right there. To drink I had the aqua de Jamaica. It just tasted more like sugar water with a hint of Jamaica flavor. I like it better when it has a strong Jamaica flavor. Overall, this is a good place to eat. Next time, I'm getting tacos only though. read more

Exceeded my expectations! I work close to this taco shop and I have been wanting to try the food here for a while, I finally got the courage to do so today! I ordered the Jalapeño Fries. They were so good and full of flavor! They have grilled onions and jalapeños of course on top of carne asada, guacamole and sour cream. I plan to go back to try the TJ style tacos. 10/10 recommend this taco shop! read more

the worst burrito i've ever eaten it was one of adobada and one of carne asada and they had almost no meat and no flavor.

Tacos de carne asada and cabeza! They are the bomb! The meat is always tender, juicy, and delicious. The guacamole is like how your Tia makes it for the carne asadas. That's how good it is. Customer service ...the ladies are so sweet and go out of their way to make you visit the best. Ambiance is chill with Mexican music ...cmon now you can't go wrong!!!

Tacos el Trompo - Inside ...where you can order. - Mexican Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Their every day deals are awesome particularly taco Tuesday!!! Can't beat that cost of $1.50/taco (any taco) I cherish it! The service is quick and the food is good. This area isn't as active as the one in logan. Tuesdays at lunch times there's a line out the parking lot its insane. Unquestionably I recommend all their locations. read more

Ok it's taco Tuesday and their tacos are $1.50 and they don't have 2 or 3 options they have Asada, Adobada, carnitas, pollo, chorizo, birria I think I might be missing a few but let me tell u their birria taco was good, they where all good but the birria taco had some bomb as flavor a bit smoky But packed with flavor. Strongly recommend the birria taco . read more

The first location I ever visited was their National city location so I was happy to see they brought one to Chula Vista. Out of my several visits I only had one mishap and that was them shorting me two tacos but they were quick to fix it regardless of how busy they were on a taco Tuesday. There is plenty of seating inside and they do have a few tables to sit outside. My go to taco choices are the adobada,carnitas,fish and chorizo. read more

The food today was so salty i paid 60.00 to throw this food away.This is the 3rd time.They never fix anything.save your money go somewhere else read more

Been here a few times and the price of the tacos you can't beat on Tuesdays. They have asada, adobada, fish, lengua, birria, chicken, chorizo and probably few that I'm missing. Now for the wait time. We went closer to 6p and it wasn't very busy but we ended up waiting close to 30 mins for our food and when we got it, it was pretty cold. We did notice they had a lot of call in orders coming in - maybe that took priority? Their customer service is okay, we noticed that if you aren't Hispanic looking, at the counter they aren't as friendly and they seem almost bothered when asking questions. Just an observation. read more

Tacos el Trompo - Adobada Taco, Fish Taco, Chorizo Taco - Mexican Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Came I at around lunch time on Taco Tuesday and ordered tacos. I ordered asada and adobada. Asada was the ordinary, nothing really interesting. The adobada though, let me just say the texture I want to describe is actually really nice. It's crisp without being burnt. I would absolutely go ahead and get the adobada. Besides the overall taste, these tacos were not the usual size. They're more like miniature bite sized tacos. I had 9 tacos in total to help with my taco craving. read more

I tried and liked the carne asada tacos I also tried the fish tacos ( but not liked them. ( something is missing from authentic Mexican flavor). { And for this reason I will give them 4stars. } I also tried the hibiscus flower water. And the lemonade water and is good too. read more

Came back and tried their taco Tuesday special! It was awesome for the price they didn't skimp on the meat which was something I worried about with $1.50 tacos. But not here! If you are craving some tacos and it so happens to be on a Tuesday definitely swing by and try this place out! Sidenote: they do have some exclusions for the tacos Tuesday like the ken Gia and maybe the cabeza but other than that everything else if fair game. read more

I ordered the street tacos on taco Tuesday. They were VERY delicious. It was my first time here and I loved it .

We came across this place as we drove around the area while my car was being repaired. The atmosphere is nice with some paintings of some Mexican artists on the walls. I ordered the lengua tacos and they were realty tasty. My husband ordered the adobada which were very delicious. The tortillas were perfectly cooked and the meat was seasoned nicely. read more

Tacos Tuesday should be called mini taco Tuesday I had never had a taco that small in my life even my daughter was laughing read more

Race Tuesday is legit and the get don't skimp. Only issue is when you call in but other than that it's our go to for TJ style tacos.

I've eaten at this Tacos El Trompo before and wanted to try something different today. Asked the girl working the counter what the TJ Torta had and she sort of explained what it had and had to ask the cooks which they argued what was actually in it. My friend ordered and you could hear them in the back talking between each other what the Torta had. I decided not to order because what she told me was in the torta didn't sound appetizing. 10 min later the order is up for my friend and he asks to check before they bag it. The cooks tell him what's in it and he said. Yes. That sounds right but what the cashier told my friend made it sound like you weren't making it correctly and that's why he didn't order. The cooks then asked if I would like to order and I said no. I'm fine. As we left. One cook said out loud to the other cook in Spanish. Que se vayan a la verga. Translation. They can do F-@k themselves. As we walked out. My friend did tell them he knows the owner and would be letting him know as well as their other relatives that own and run the other Tacos El Trompo in National City. Disappointed that this happened because they do have good food but not with this type of attitude and service. In the picture are the 2 cooks that and girl working today on 2-25-23 around 7:30pm. read more

I'm not sure at what time they close? I passed by at 9:40pm, and saw customers in there, OPEN signs were both on, so my husband and I go in without checking google first if they're open, because it was obvious they were. the cashiers makes eye contact with us and continues to talk to one of her coworkers. I stand there for 2 minutes until the cashier decided to stop talking to her coworker, and tells us they're closed. Maybe lock the doors, and turn off the open signs? Also let me know as soon as I walk in there that you're closed? Anyway, left a bad taste In my mouth. Not going back. read more
