“ I really like the Tacos al Pastor with the hand made tortillas. Also, the Guacamole tasted really good. And at the end I was so happy with my Flan. THIS IS THE BEST PLACE TO EAT MEXICAN FOOD!!! ”
“ OG tacos place in toronto, i always get pastor whenever im here. First time trying their torta and homemade flan, torta was a bite plain, only some meat with sauce, the flan pretty good. Disappointed on the Jamica drink, it was quite water-downed. ”
“ Love love love their tacos!!! So well marinated and full of flavors! There are 3 kind of sauces for you to choose, not sure which is which but they go incredibly well with the tacos! Service is quick and straight to the point! ”
“ Wow, just wow. Best tacos I've ever had! I recently spontaneously ordered takeout from El Trompo because it was close by and I happened to be too busy to cook that day. They were so good! About 15 for 5 small tacos, so I wish there was a bit more food, but the quality and taste were so good, I really can't complain. It was well worth it. Also the hot sauce was amazing! I'd love to know what they put in it. All in all, amazing food. If you're hungry and in the area, it's definitely worth a try. I plan to order here again in the future - that's for sure! ”
“ What a wonderful spot for a simple date! Especially after a great day walking through the Kensington Market! The tacos were savoury and satisfying, and the guacamole was smooth and flavourful! We weren't disappointed at all. Our server was very friendly and patiently walked us through the menu. We'll definitely make this a regular stop whenever we come down this way... ”
