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!

Estoy orgullosa de mi bilingüismo; sin embargo, decir que la persona en del otro lado de la línea es ineficaz es una subestimación. Solicite comunicarme con el gerente porque no recibí la salsa y el curtido que se incluyen con los popusas. Inicialmente estaba planeando comprar quince, pero estoy extremadamente agradecido de que la señora cometió un error y solo me vendió cinco. Posteriormente, sirven un plato que incluye cuatro pedasos de cerdo y ocho yuca. Se incluye una foto del plato de $12. Me informaron que el gerente no estaba disponible cuando pregunté pora hablar con ellos. Me pregunto si el departamento de salud de la ciudad de Garland está de acuerdo con esto. 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.

I would say it leans more heavily on countries from El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and a midget from Brazil. It definitely gives small convenience store vibes, but they have a wide assortment of grocery food items that you won't find anywhere else. Prices are a touch higher but I can attribute that to it being imported. I enjoyed Peruvian soft drink called "Inca Kola", it tasted delicious! As well as Colombian soft drink called "Colombiana".

Its been over 2 years since the 1st visit there with my wife so it only dawned on me once inside..."yeah this is that same store." I remembered the store immediately from before, because of all the natural healing items on the shelves. GREAT! I'm a health nut, love natural healing ANYTHING. But what hit my memory even harder was the lady behind the counter! As I approached the drink cooler, I looked toward her expecting to say or hear a greeting, what I received was a cold dead stare AND a smirk, that read to me like, "I don't like you, wish you hadn't come in." I ignored that look, maybe she has had bad experiences from people who look like me. I'm 5'11, 210, decent shape from working a physical outdoors job, no beard, trimmed moustache and I keep my hair cut, high and bald tight; I'm always asked if I served in the military. I grabbed a drink, walked over to a shelf, grabbed some bagged plaintain chips and began looking around at the various boxed supplements - did I say I'm a healthnut? Lady comes from behind the counter, 2 minutes later, I pass behind her, stop, now we're both at the same 4-sided, 8 tiered open-sided shelves. Breaking the dead non-speaking noise I ask her if she has coconut capsules. She pauses, thinks and says, "No", actually as if her contempt for me lessened a bit...because I was a serious customer. I look at everything on the shelves where we actually spoke words, then decided to not be too cheap, "I'll buy another kind of cold drink, to increase my sale above $6 bucks." Go back to the cooler, grab a drink and as I turn around, at the counter now, is an older woman....looking right at me! Same contempt, no greeting whatsoever; that, "yes I am watching you", same kind of previous, dislike. I approach the counter, older Lady rings me up - 1st Lady had to school her a bit, on the register operation - right then another man and woman enter the store - Hispanics. Younger Lady says, "Ola.Como estas? "Customers, "Bien... bien". First Lady takes care of them WITH a greeting. Older Lady gives me my change - at least she didn't try not touching my open palm - says, "Gracias", "Gracias", I replied, and leave the most unfriendly store in Dallas!
