Taquería El Trompito

I've had this place bookmarked for quite a while and finally made it out last week for dinner. We walked in the door at 6:00pm and the place was completely empty. I had to double check my Yelp app to make sure we were in the right place that had so many good reviews. We ordered some guac and chips for a starter and an order of the cheese enchiladas and beef fajitas. The guac was not great. It was a small portion, there was mystery brown in the guac, and tasted like plain avocado. Fortunately they have a salsa bar and we were able to snag some limes, etc. to make it more edible. The chips were dripping grease, which also isn't so appealing. The entrees were much better. The red sauce on the enchiladas was delicious (it was almost like a mole) and the rice and beans were also tasty. Since this place is so close to our house, we'll probably be back, but we'll skip the chips & guac next time!

Taqueria El Trompito the one located at 10021 E Hampden Ave, I like, still like you and still a fan to you.  WooT!!  WooT!!

Was here on Tuesday September 18th 2012 with a couple of my foodie friends for a 18:30hrs Dinner.  I made a reservation prior that evening a couple of weeks before the event.

When I arrived, thankfully our seating arragement are all set for our party.  

From what I could recall these were the items I ordered periodically so I can eat them at my own pace and since I dont like the Tacos to be cold.

Time : 18:39hrs
Order #72
*  1 Taco De Barbacoa ($2.00)
*  1 Taco de Tripa ($2.00)
*  1 Jumex de Guava (as part of beverage purchase) ($1.25)

Hmmmmm.... Tacos...  Definitely Taco Heaven... I whisper...

With the condiments of spicy salsa, jalapenos availabe for your liking, Self-Service Counter aka SALSA BAR, you can put those condiments to your food purchase.

Time : 18:56hrs
Order #76
*  1 Tacos de Borrego ($2.00)
*  1 Tacos de Lengua ($2.00)

I like all the 4 Tacos I had that evening.  All the meats are cooked to my liking, the meats are tender and the spicy salsa are refreshing with the "habanero" one the MOST SPICY salsa, which I like, like alot!  If only I could have the recipe of those SPICY Salsas.....

I so wish next time they can offer some other kind of meats which I have been eyeing, but the lady who took my order mentioned they did not offer those meats that evening.  Oh well...  *Sad Face*

Time : 19:31hrs
Order #83
I purchase a Burrito Supreme ($7.00) TO GO for Hubs.  Hubs like it though he rate it only as 3.5 stars coz he prefers another establishment Burrito Supreme better.

This establishment was kept clean, that includes the ladies washroom which I get the chance to use that evening.  My foodie friends like what they order that evening too.  I dont mind returning to Taqueria El Trompito, the one located at 10021 E Hampden Ave when needed.  All in all, a pleasant dinner evening with my foodie friends.  I like.....  

Oohh before I leave this establishment, the lady behind the counter, I think she might be the owner gave me a "punch card" of the establishment, and if I am not mistaken, I will get my next meal for "FREE".  We shall see.
