El Trompo

Had lunch at El Trompo in Kensington Market recently. I could have sworn that I was sitting on a street corner in Mexico. Had the guacamole (delicious) and corn chips to start (and share). The fish tacos (I got two) were gluten friendly and some of the best and most authentic tacos I've ever had. The service was attentive. Would definitely return.

What a treat to find such authentic Mexican cuisine in Canada. Having lived in Texas for many years and traveled to Mexico, I developed a taste for the food (especially Al pastor). This restaurant is such a treat. The staff is wonderful and friendly. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxed. Can’t way enough. What a find!!!

We were in Kensington and walked by El Trompo! The tacos come in an order for 5, these are great portions and so flavourful! We would love to come back with a bigger appetite and try more off the menu. Amazing hospitality and service from the team checking in to see if we were good & refilled our water 👀

the el pastor tacos will make you full, but Luci and Stephanie’s warm hospitality will make your heart fuller. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcome like were were at home with family that we have known for years. The food is delicious and well priced and is guaranteed to make you feel better after leaving!! 🌮

Absolutely loved our work lunch catered by these folks! 🌮 I had the mushroom tacos, very flavorful! And the chorizo, spicy and savory. The salsa is seriously next level—fresh, zesty, and I could have eaten it with a spoon. Only tiny thing: the guacamole was good but could use a little more "umph"—maybe more lime or a pinch of salt. Overall, super tasty and would definitely recommend for your next office lunch! 👍✨

My partner and I were visiting Toronto from NYC, and we came across El Trompo when walking around Kensington Market. The menu immediately caught our eye. I recommend their tacos, in particular tacos de cochinita pibil and al pastor. Each order comes with 5 tacos and you can mix your order if you don’t want all to be the same. Their flavor is very authentic and delicious! We also had their agua de jamaica which was so needed and refreshing with the heat we were experiencing. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and our waitress and hostess were very kind! Will certainly come again whenever I’m back in Toronto! ☺️

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!

went to Toronto for holidays and ate there 3 times, 2 times for dinner, 1 time for breakfast on our last day, genuinely such an amazing restaurant, tried horchata for the first time there and literally fell in love, thank you guys for showing me this drink I can’t wait to try it again! our waiter was so amazing, sweet and friendly aswell, she talked to us a lot and even invited us to come again for breakfast, 5 out of 5 stars!!!
