    Laid back ambience in this casual Mexican restaurant downtown. Ordered the veggie quesadilla which was excellent. Prices are reasonable, with lots of choices. Order at the front, will give you a number and deliver your food to your table. Took off one star only because some of the tables were not clean.

    Churros yes!

    I got 3 traditional tacos. Al pastor and chicken yes!! The steak was dry. Horchata is really good but probably a lot of sugar. And then the churros are damn good. Nice vibes and friendly staff. Pretty clean. I'll come back.

    Came here to have dinner before a show at the Winspear Opera house. We did not want to do a fancy dinner. We opted for tacos. Ordered the 5 taco plate plus an additional taco. Plate came with rice & beans and Jalapeños. Also ordered Jamaica drink. Total bill came out to $22. Not bad for a downtown location. The Al Pastor was a bit dry. The chicharon was good. The lengua was also good. The airconditioner was so loud, it's annoying.

    This place is clearly a Dallas favorite. It is a kick ass little taco restaurant located in downtown Dallas.. super friendly staff addictive flavor filled tacos and good alcoholic beverages with an outdoor area to eat and chill. Makes this place a great spot to visit after a late night of drinking or even for an afternoon lunch worth a stop considering driving all the way to Dallas again just to get me some tacos here!

    Authentic taco spot in downtown Dallas! Walking in, I knew the place would be awesome when I saw the trompos! Tried all three (pastor, pollo, y asada) and they were all great. Quick service with a full bar. Happy hour at this spot is a must! Pro Tip: if you order the tacos definitely mix and match the meats!

    Twisted Fries no sour cream

    The food was a solid 8/10 but the service was just.. not it. Called ahead to ask for suggestions for parking and the girl who answered didn't even know. we asked for recommendations on what to order (first timers); when we arrived and the same girl took our order and again didn't have much to say. Maybe it was just an off day.. We ordered the barbacoa twisted fries with no sour cream. Very flavorful and a lot of food for the price. Was impressed. Will try again for sure, food is worth it.

    We have ordered here almost every weekend for weeks. Never disappointed. The tacos are so god. Plenty of flavor and just so filling. Love the double tortilla. The limes and cilantro, onions are always fresh. The horchata always hits so damn good.

    I loved getting to try out the Tex Mex at this spot! I started out with the guac and chips which came with a very generous portion of chips. They included some salsa along with their guac. I was getting full before the rest of the meal! I had their 5 taco plate and tried a variety of the tacos they had on their menu. I loved getting to sample their different proteins and options here. The only thing I'd change is that the tacos were single tortilla instead of double like some street taco places, which made it easy for some of the filling to slide off.

    my friends and i decided to eat here due to our texmex cravings. this place resembled that of a fast food restaurant and was very lively inside. there was a solid selection of items you could order from. my partner and i shared an al pastor fries, chicken salad, and birria tacos. the chicken salad was amazing!! there was soooo much chicken and it was very juicy. they had all the ingredients that i love in a salad (cucumbers, tomatoes, spring mix, lettuce). the birria tacos were alright. the sauce was pretty yummy. the fries were a bit underwhelming for me. i felt like a lot of the al pastor pieces were all fat, no meat. the cheese was at the bottom of the tray (for some odd reason). the sauce for the fries was yummy though. overall, my texmex cravings were satisfied. i would come back just for the chicken salad.

    Frozen margarita

    Great tacos, and the frozen margarita was on point. Also, don't miss the guacamole. The atmosphere is so-so, amazing little bit of fast food vibes, but who cares. Go for the food.

    Street tacos and twisted fries

    Great food, nice ambience, and friendly staff. The location is also so great. There is street parking. Note it's located in downtown Dallas so you may have to find a garage during the day.

    Is the chicken white meat, dark meat, or a mix?

    Dogs are allowed so do they need to stay on the patio?

    Yes

    Does Twisted Trompo have many gluten free options?

    Pretty much everything is gluten free unless you get your tacos with flour tortillas. Go for corn!

    Any chance their corn tortillas and chips are gluten free? Sounds like my kinda place, but I have to ask.

    Corn tortillas are always gluten-free

It will definitely be one of the first places I think of for a date night!

It wasn't too loud to where people were having to scream to converse...but it was not intimate where you could talk across the table softly with the other person hearing.

Chris our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. He took his time walking us through the menu and explaining what made El Carlos Elegante so special. The drinks were perfect. My wife loved her Desert Flor while I thoroughly enjoyed my Modelo Micheleda. Her Surf and Turf one hitter was exceptional. I have to say my Crab Cake was just ok. It tasted a little pasty and very heavy on the bread. The Pulpo was absolutely amazing. Perfect texture and the sauce it was served almost had me licking the plate. The El Machete was incredible from its presentation, to the freshness of the corn tortilla, to the quality of the meat inside. Definitely recommend this. We really liked our Okra + Shishito course, we just wished it had more okra in it. The two things I loved about the Al Pastor was of course the sauce it was served on but the fact that I got to enjoy it like a steak. It was served sliced on a bias like flank steak. Typically Al Pastor is finely chopped and served in tacos and burritos, so this was a different eating experience for me. And of course it was delicious as well. We cannot wait to come back and try more of the menu.

    I've been here twice. Everything we ordered was very good both times…read more During our first visit, I had the Caesar salad, which I declared at that time "the greatest Caesar salad I've ever tried." It was glorious and bountiful--there was ample dressing, cheese, and other ingredients I'm forgetting that made it unique. Unfortunately, during our second visit, the Caesar salad was significantly different. I think they used the same dressing, but there was very little of it. There was nearly no cheese and the other ingredients were similarly sparse. It was still good, but it in no way was the greatest I'd ever tried. I hope that this was a 1-off experience, as it truly was the best. I will report back next time. Service was great both times- they were very careful about my Cilantro request (none) and even though they gladly prepared dishes without it, they also made a list of things that already had none by default. Salmon ceviche, Pork al pastor, Carne asada, and the machete were also very good. The machete is a specialty- it had the house made masa and fillings can vary.
