But if you're in Dallas, come and get a TROMPO TACO!
If they were located in Amarillo instead of Dallas and their owner was Donald, and the place was therefore called "Donald's Trompo", then they could have the slogan "Make Amarillo Great Again!" And if they added shredded cheese (ew) to their excellent tacos (yum) then it would be "Make Amarillo Grate Again!"
Thankfully none of that is true. But these tacos are truly delicious.
Trompo doesn't have quite as much authenticity as some taquerias around, in as much as it is catering to basically a whole bunch of drunk late-night people, only a small percentage of whom are actually Mexican, or indeed from Nuevo Laredo (where Trompo is king - but not, crucially, President). But as well as the hipster elements and drunk-food ambience, Trompo also has really good Mexican food, and the Trompo tacos are some of the best in town.
The Paneer y Poblano tacos are very hipster, but have roots in El Mexico, and are actually pretty delicious. Bistec is good too. But Trompo is the winner, just like he was in the rigged Russian-sponsored Presidential election.
Service can be a mixed bag. There's a couple of really hot people working here but if you come in anywhere near closing time you may not get served, and if you do get served, they may be pretty rude about telling you that you have to get out of there once your food comes out (and they'll only tell you after you've paid - naturally). You don't always have to listen to her though because nobody else really does.
Watching the kind of people that come in and out of here (says divorcee Sting in a creepy high-pitched voice) on any given night is really amazing experience which almost rivals the excellent food. Almost.
Despite the service I really have no choice but to give it a five star rating because we really enjoyed the food and prices are pretty good and it's open late - and surprisingly Dallas doesn't have an amazing amount wonderful Mexican food. It is mostly Tex-Mex or catering to the Yelp crowd and the Americanized anglicized crowd. Same thing really. Oops did I say that out loud.
So the Trompo tacos are an authentic import from Nuevo Laredo which is the region of Mexico where the city of Monterey is - which is basically where Toronto was invented. Or rather Trompo, but maybe Toronto too, since it's such a great city. It's sort of like passport but different and equally delicious if not more so. Not Passport, but Pastor. However you probably will need a passport if you want to go south of the border to enjoy some of these types of tacos back in the homeland.
Now I've played my Trompo card, so I'll go back to doing basic reviews. After today, that is.
