SO and I ran the Rock and Roll marathon and were HUNGRY. This was the first place that Google suggested to her as she typed in tacos in her search bar. The gods were obviously watching and felt a bit benevolent for this place hit the spot. Got the street tacos (Campechanos) and they were delicious!!!! Meat was cooked to perfection, crispy ends but still juicy, tortillas were sauteed in oil, cilantro and onions fresh and crisp, and the salsas were spicy and flavorful. Service was delightful, the place was clean although the bathrooms did need some attention (faucet in the men's was literally floating off the sink). Only will add that they do not sell beer. Tacos were worth it though. Will definitely be back. Thank you!

Great tasting carne guisada and cheese enchiladas. The fideo soup was a great appetizer. Better wall decor and patio seating would be nice - but that’s not a food factor.
This place was ranked for MSN Best Burrito that pointed me to the tiny, strip mall-based Taqueria El Trompo. I was starving when I showed up since I didn't eat breakfast and ordered what I heard was some of the best al pastor in town. I got the campechano burrito with pastor, diced carne asada, beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado and Mexican crema; but you can order it California-style and the two meats will be mixed with just rice and beans. Got it to go and tried to eat in the car. This is not a car-riding meal, but I was so hungry as the juices dropped into my lap. I really enjoyed the burrito and agree that it is a good deal for a meal and I hope to come back to try more!
We have been there a few times and every time we go, we enjoy the food. The last couple of times I've ordered the Asada Quesadilla plate. Very good! And big portion. Prices are very reasonable, too. The staff is very friendly.
Amazing! Authentic Mexican Food! The Barbacoa we had on this visit was some of the best we’ve had since moving to S. TX. The rice and beans hit the spot as well as the chips and salsa. I only wish the chips were homemade that would have been perfect. That being said the prices were good and the service was great. Can’t wait to go back and try the Al Pastor.
Ordered a couple of pounds of barbacoa for the office and it was gone in minutes! Great tasting barbacoa! Will have to go there for lunch one day.
This place is legit! Can’t believe I haven’t been eating here all this time. It’s tucked away in a shopping center at Callaghan and Horizon Hill, just off of IH10.
The tacos are on point. I had carnitas and Tripas. They were both amazing and the Tripas here is my new favorite in all of San Antonio.
Service was fast and friendly. Chips and salsa served with my tacos. This place is perfectly clean and is a pleasant environment.
I highly recommend and can’t wait to keep coming back for more!

Beef fajitas were good. Never had melted cheese with skillet order. Rice was ok and refried beans were ok as well. Flour tortillas were ok. Came in at slow time of day. Service was nice. Nothing to warrant a three or five star rating so if you’re looking for some mex in the Callaghan/10 area, El Trompo will probably satisfy.
Simply put this food is Amazing. The small street tacos are way more food than it looks like. Everything is cook perfectly seasoned perfectly. Kid friendly environment, clean, and quick food. I will be back next time I'm in town this will be my first stop.
