Taquería El Trompito

Pretty well put together tacos. Me and my wifes first time there. Will go back again.

I am Mexican, so when I try to find authentic food in the States, I become very, very picky. This little restaurant though has by far the best Mexican food I have tried in all of Colorado! Their food is so seasoned and flavored! I always stop by at least once a month. To a lot of people this is a «hole in the wall restaurant.» However, I don’t mind the appearance. There’s always great service, and I feel like I’m back in my country whenever I visit. Seriously if you want REAL Mexican food, please check out this restaurant.

estos tacos son los tacos mas sabrosos en Denver. Me recuerdan mucho a los tacos que como es Bosnia. MUY RICOOOOOOO!!!

Oh my goodness, YUM!!! Get the guac, it’s amazing. We’re two Southern California kids always looking for good Mexican food in Colorado. The grilled chicken taco and shredded chicken tacos were fantastic too! The regular burrito was a little dry, I’d get it smothered next time. We’re definitely coming back!

It’s authentic and pretty cheap, but they got our order wrong. Then when we asked for the green chile that came without order, they tried to charge us extra for it. It’s great they have a salsa bar, but it doesn’t have a lot of options and most were gone anyway.

Very good definitely coming back, steak nachos were delicious the service was great green chile perfect spice loved the options for the kid menu :)

This place is know for there yummy taco’s — My first time here and was not let down — Although I don’t know Spanish, I know what to order– Most little hole in the wall Mexican taqueria’s menu’s are universal and have picture’s if ur not sure– This place was packed and busy and had to wait almost 20 minutes, but there tacos were tasty —

This restaurant is by far the best Mexican restaurant I have ever had in Denver. If you want authentic Mexican food definitely check this place out!!!

Nice Crew, clean, decent & Great Food But I think it’s kind of overpriced !! I think if they put a decent prices will be better.

It was okay. Waited about 20 minutes for my burrito supreme. I didn’t like that the burrito was filled with a ton of rice rather then meat. I ordered the burrito with al pastor. Taste wise I’d say 7 – 10 and that’s being generous

Personally I think it’s very low quality food I ate there couple times and every time made me get an upset stomach

I was impressed and a bit overwhelmed by their extensive menu. They have a lot of items that you don’t find at your average Mexican restaurant. I went with the tacos and they did not disappoint. They were stuffed full of delicious tender beef and pork. They have a bar for the toppings with a great selection. I had to go this time but I will be back to try all of the other goodies they offer.

I’m Californian so a taqueria is life. I love the authentic food and you know it’s authentic when your the only white person there and the cashier pretty much only speaks Spanish. The food was really good but the red enchilada sauce was way to spicy for my husband and I. We will defiantly be returning.

If you want real Mexican food this is the spot. I’ve had 3 meals here and every one was on point. The tortillas taste like they are made in-​house but I can’t confirm that. I’ve had the carne asada plate, a torta, and a huarache all were very tasty. The service can be a little difficult because I don’t think the girl behind the counter speaks great English, but she seemed sweet and was helpful.

Great little place. You wouldn’t expect the food to be anything worth while, from the outside exterior. But it’s GOOD. I specifically come here for the barbocoa tacos. Tacos are made fresh and cost $ 2.00. Big salsa bar and super friendly staff. Larger than expected coming inside, plenty of seating. IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GET YOUR FOOD.

Fantastic everything!
Order anything and it’s good. We enjoyed the green enchiladas, the tripe taco, and the mixote — yum!!!

Awesome spot for good authentic Mexican food. It’s a little pricey for a «hole in the wall» spot; however, the food is good. The chili relleno with green chili sauce is my favorite. Nice friendly and pleasant staff. Very accommodating.

Wow, was sceptical at first, but blown away by the food. Staff is patient and very helpful. The menu is extensive, never lacking choices, I would highly recommend! Tacos alone could do it for me. I’ll make this a destination anytime I’m in Denver again.

We are never eating at another taqueria in Denver again. Blows Jalisco and Patzcuaro out of the water.

I walked in and the place was very clean, I grew up working at my family owned restaurant with my parents and cleanliness was praised, so I was very impressed and was expecting big things, I ordered the smothered green chile burrito and my girlfriend ordered the red chile chile enchiladas. At first glance the plate could have been presented better, the burrito barely had any chile on it and the cheese wasn’t melted but hey I had an open mind and jumped in, the cubed steak was pretty good and juicy, but the burrito could have been hotter temperature wise, my girlfriends enchiladas were having the same problem, they could have been hotter. I feel if they were hotter it would be a 5 star restaurant because this place was clean and friendly, horchata was good too. So if you’re in the area stop in and see for yourself but beware, hopefully they have your food hot when it reaches the table.

Wonderful place, great service, fresh food. Green chili is fucking awesome, so is the horchata. Had the carnita smother burrito

The service here is amazing. The ladies are running around getting everything cooked, served, and cleaned up, all with a smile. The aqua fresca was so nice and refreshing — I had the pineapple, which was freshly made and just perfect. The taco I tried here (during a taco tour) was very tasty and had nice roasted jalapenos (Albanil). There was also a toppings bar so you could dress your own tacos, which was very popular with our group.

Best authentic Mexican food in North Denver, I have never seen a harder working lady than the lady that runs the front during the lunch rush. She will go above and beyond to make sure that everything you need is taking care of. I can’t get enough of the taquitos with the green salsa. See y’all next week.

After a fun day at Water World, my boyfriend and I were in the mood for Mexican food. I was a little thrown off with ordering the food at the counter and then sitting. He ordered the carne asada and I order the enchiladas in mole sauce. We really enjoyed our meals there. The items tasted fresh and was well prepared and presented well.

Hands down the best tacos for miles. Super friendly staff, reasonably priced, and did I mention that the tacos are super tasty?
I make a point to come here every time I’m in the area for work. I come hungry, and I never leave disappointed.
The salsa bar is well-​stocked and kept at a good temperature.
Muchas gracias!

I stopped in for dinner last week and was very happy with my experience. Everyone was very friendly and my food was very good.
My choice was chili rellenos and a strawberry agua fresca. The rellenos were served piping hot and with corn tortillas on the side. I made tacos out of them and added some of their amazing salsa from the bar. The beans were good but not amazing.
To go I took a carnitas torta for my husband. He really enjoyed the flavors but thought the meat to bread ratio was a little disproportionate.
If we lived closer we would be regulars for sure.

Great experience. Food was delicious, service was good. Can’t wait to be back for more!

I really enjoy great tacos done like they are in Mexico.
This place does it like they do in Mexico! Tongue, cheeks, brains. All the glories of the food that is hard to find here in the states is available at this joint! :)
Happiness tacos with many choices and a salsa bar that provides a good choice of flavors and heat levels.
If your getting that taco urge this is the place to quench it with gusto!

We were re-​routed here for the FINAL stop, aka 3^rd instead of the 4^th coz Tacos Y Salsas was jam packed and some how could not fit us all at one seating so Matt and Doug decide for us to have our Tacos here.
I HEART TACOS, The Ultimate Taco Tour. Saturday February 22^nd 2014. Arrived at this establishment at about 14:00hrs ish. We went in-​line to order our tacos. Man at that hour, this establishment is jam packed, aka packed to the Brim. Hmmm…
Yes, the kitchen was INDEED SWAMPED! The wait indeed took F.O.R.E.V.E.R! Was the wait worth, waiting for… Hmmm… Hence I am indeed torn about this establishment. From this establishment, I opt to have the following Tacos :
* Tripa ($ 2.00)
* Lengua ($ 2.00)
* Cabeza ($ 2.00)
With tax, my Tacos order was $ 6.51. My order # was Order # 80.
Yes, you get all your condiments, such as Lime, Cilantro, Dice Raw Onions, Radishes and Salsas from the Salsas Bar that they have. The lovely lady who also runs the behind the counter and at times even send the food to our table, her name is Luis. While ordering, Luis asked me how I want my Tripa order to be done, I told her «Crunchy».
While waiting, I see that one of the Main servers, or staff kept on replenishing the Salsa bar. That is good in my books.
I received my order at 14:38hrs ish. I like my order of Tripa the Best at this establishment coz they made it so crunchy, I like it a lot! Hmm, the Cabeza comes as some what shredded meat that I cannot identify. Hmmm, I wonder if they got my order wrong. I whispered silently in my heart. But since I am NOW already more starving, I just ate what I got. As for the Lengua, it was just A-​Okay.
Maybe due to the «AFTER Lunch Rush», this place gets «overwhelmed» and some orders were mixed up. So definitely ask for your receipt when ordering, and keep that receipt, so the servers can double check aka identify, who ordered what etc etc. I might return again to this establishment and see how it might differ if I were to go with Hubs. Furthermore, I am eyeing the Ice Cream Parlor next door and I am intrigued what they might offer in the future.
In conclusion, I think I prefer the Hampden Location better maybe for one, when I was there, it was NOT that Chaotic. Furthermore, the Hampden Location, the dining area is spacious and NOT as cramped, and the parking lot outside is way bigger as compared to this location.
For this establishment, overall I rate it as 3.5 stars.
