    Service was great!!! Trompo Tacos were delicious!!! Not expensive at all. Good pricing.

    Al Pastor Tacos

    By far the most authentic and delicious tacos I have eaten outside of Mexico. Located in the most unassuming spot next to a gas station. These tacos were fresh and delicious and I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since. Absolutely worth a try

    Front of restaurant

    THIS SH*T WAS BUSSINN!!!! Fast service, delicious, savory food and drinks. A lot of people will judge Mexican restaurants because of their size or location but I'm here to tell you, the smaller these are the better! Trust me! I am Latina and every small Mexican restaurant is always true Mexican food and not TEXMEX! The serranos that came with my tacos were juicy and spicy, the salsa verde y rojo were both delicious as well! Definitely recommend this place and will be coming back!

    Trompo spit, 10/10 for flavor

    Great Tex-Mex that's more Mex! Amazing food. TROMPO is worth the drive! Good prices for the amount and flavor you get! Plus if you can speak Spanish to order but no problem if you are a gringo! Mi Special - 3 tacos, Rice & refried beans Chicken quesadilla is a big tortilla! I usually get Trompo tacos but have also had the beef in the mix. Green salsa is fantastic. Flavor and some kick but no burn (more medium hot). Red salsa is spicy. Previously had the horchata and tamarindo drinks (good and a lot of drink for the price). The breakfast tacos are the REAL deal too! Well done & hit the spot! Worth getting out of bed for. Warning, consider calling or ordering ahead if you have anyone who can't stand the heat indoors. They are good about getting the order out in a timely manner (especially given this place is steady traffic). I say that because if you are waiting inside it is very hot with the trompo spit and the large grills and the door opening non-stop. A/C can't keep up. This was a 100 degree day and the restaurant inside the thermometer read 93.

    Second time here and happy we live so closely now. Seems like people are running in/out pretty steadily which is great for their business. During my most recent visit I got breakfast tacos, chorizo and potato. Tasted fresh, flavor was great and included red and green salsa. I usually judge taco spots by their salsa and theirs was pretty good! Spicy and flavorful. Even impressed by their horchata which was creamy, not watery like others. All together reasonably priced as well! Definitely recommend

    The food is good but when I ordered a simple bean and cheese burrito for my toddler, they charged over $9! Too expensive.

    We are new to the area and wanted to try s o me authentic tacos since living in NC for 4 years…read more Loved, loved, loved the Taco Tuesday specials. Everything was fresh and tasted just perfect! The meat was cooked and seasoned correctly with no grease! We got ourselves a little sweet treat of churros and a cup of elote. Service was fast was greeted at the door and they automatically gave us a menu. I love the mix of vintage and modern farmhouse theme they have going on while staying in touch with their roots. They sell mexican deserts and have a display of mexican candy. The parking is very limited since its on main street. So do not use the parking on the side next to the post office it's for the post office workers use the other side and front street parking. They also have online ordering on their website. We are definitely coming back here again.

    We went here Friday night because we wanted to try something outside of our usual spot. The…read moreatmosphere inside is very nice and modern. We were seated quickly which was great. The place wasn't busy, maybe a couple of other tables. My husband and myself both ordered taco plates. The good: the salsas on the table. We are both huge fans of good green hot sauce and theirs is very good. I liked it a lot. The tacos were great, and my husband really enjoyed the flour tortillas which tasted homemade. Chips and salsa were tasty and we enjoyed them. Also, loved the bottle sodas. The bad: our rice was hard. It was very old rice because the color was right in it, but it was dry, crunchy, and not hot but not cold. We did ask for replacement rice and they did bring a plate out, however it was also hard...but because it wasn't done cooking (color was lighter). The beans were tasty but cold, and a smidge salty. Generally when we get Mexican food, the beans are piping hot. My husband was concerned after the rice problem that our taco meat may have been sitting out and reheated as well. Overall, I think the place has potential but needs work on service and the kitchen staff.

    Birrieria Aguinaga - Birria tacos, disappointing. Hope it was just an off-night, as I would like to give this spot another chance.
