Reviews
We were excited to try El Trompo Loco after seeing all the positive Google reviews and made an hour-long drive to visit. Unfortunately, our experience did not live up to the hype.
We were greeted quickly and seated ourselves. The waitress took our drink order — I asked for a margarita, which tasted awful. I returned it and asked for water, only to find out they only offer bottled water at $2.50 each. We also ordered aguas frescas, but were surprised to learn that only the lemonade is homemade — the rest are powdered mixes, still charged at $4 each, with every refill being charged as a new drink (which we weren’t informed about).
For food, we ordered choriqueso, menudo, a barbacoa taco, and a parrillada for two. We asked if the tortillas were homemade — unfortunately, they’re packaged. The food took 30-40 minutes to arrive, despite the restaurant not being busy.
The choriqueso was underwhelming and came with just three tortillas. We had to eat off napkins because our waitress never looked our way to bring plates, despite us trying to get her attention multiple times.
When the rest of the food arrived, the portion sizes were generous — but the quality was poor. The beef was extremely tough and chewy, and the skewer had an unpleasant taste. We ended up leaving more than half the food untouched.
When we asked for the bill, it totaled $95, which seemed off. After requesting a paper itemized receipt, we found we were charged for a drink we didn’t order, on top of the overpriced waters and aguas frescas. When we brought this to the waitress’s attention (again having to approach her because she never looked our way), there was no apology — just a quiet cash refund for the extra drink.
I also politely suggested that customers should be informed if refills are an extra charge, instead of being surprised on the receipt.
Sadly, this visit was a big letdown — from service to food quality and pricing transparency. I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way to try this place
