At Taqueria El Trompos, located at 7863 Callaghan Rd Suite 108 in San Antonio, TX, diners are greeted with a delightful fusion of authentic Mexican flavors and a warm atmosphere. Customer reviews consistently highlight the standout dish: their al pastor tacos, which are praised for their robust flavor, making them a beloved choice over competitors such as Taquitos West Avenue.

Many have fallen in love with the unexpected charm of this cozy taco joint nestled in a strip mall. The ambiance, though modern and clean, could benefit from a touch of rustic charm to enhance the inviting feel. Patrons like Dan remark on the quality of the coffee and tortillas, suggesting that great care is taken in every aspect of the dining experience.

Reviews also mention the delightful Campechanos tacos, cooked to perfection with crispy ends and juicy interiors, served on sautéed tortillas, complemented by fresh cilantro and flavorful salsas. While some noted the need for attentive service and ambiance improvements, the kindness of staff and the quality of food, alongside an inviting homely feel, ensure that Taqueria El Trompos remains a must-visit for taco enthusiasts in San Antonio.

This place has the best al pastor. It has strong flavor and it’s better than taquitos west avenue. The burger with al pastor is amazing. The hot dog completo has such great taste.

You don't expect to find places like this in a strip mall. Judge a place first by it's coffee & tortillas, then it's staff and finally their food. This place has an undeniable magic and warmth with maybe the perfect cup of coffee. The one thing I could say this place could do better is wear that cozy magic on your sleeve and get some plants and earthen colors going to compliment the modern. It's a very clean and modern taco joint, but that sleekness on it's own betrays the underlying warmth.

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!

We absolutely loved it. We were in the mood for trompo and was going to try a different place but it was closed. So I googled tacos de trompo and it took us here. I am so glad it did. It's been here for 5 years!!! Just get the mini tacos de trompo, bean and cheese nachos, and yummm!!!

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.
