I went to Tio Trompo in Houston after specifically looking for a spot that serves trompo tacos, which are cooked on a vertical rotating spit. According to their website, trompo tacos trace their roots back to Middle Eastern immigrants who settled in Puebla, Mexico after World War I, blending shawarma-style marinated pork with Mexican tortillas and salsas to create what many consider one of the most iconic Mexican dishes today.
Tio Trompo has both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. I ordered takeout and brought the tacos home.
[TACOS]
+Taco Al Pastor (Red Pork Trompo Meat) for $4.00 – I ordered three tacos, all on corn tortillas, each served with two tortillas to prevent ripping. They come topped with onions and cilantro, along with lime and two salsas on the side. The meat was already cut from the trompo when ordered, not freshly cut straight into the tortillas. Each taco was individually wrapped in aluminum foil, which kept them warm, but it made them extremely oily and messy. These tacos are good, but I wish the salsa was spicier. I also wished they served pineapple on the side or on the trompo itself. Still, solid al pastor tacos overall. – 4/5
Overall, Tio Trompo delivers a good version of al pastor tacos and clearly understands the trompo tradition, even if it’s not the pineapple-topped version I was hoping for. I’d come back, but with the hope of bolder salsa and a cleaner execution next time.

Tacos are amazing!!! Reasonable prices and breakfast tacos served all day. They had a coffee business inside making coffee, but we didn’t try it. Bottled drinks and Jamaica available. Sweet staff, and we will be back!

This was our second time coming for breakfast and it was great. I got the breakfast tacos both times and they were really good. My husband got the breakfast torta and said it was great. Parking is a little tight.

It is really clear when the people making tacos love what they do and know what they’re doing. And Tio Trompo is the best example of it.
Phenomenal flavors, all-day breakfast tacos, fantastic salsas, and wonderful prices!
This place is a GEM if you want excellent tacos.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere, I felt like I was stepping into an establishment in Mexico. I grabbed 2 breakfast tacos de papas con chorizo en tortillas de harina and a small agua de Jamaica for $12.99- the portions were well worth that! I really enjoyed their pickled onions and salsa verde as well, 10/10!

Food was absolutely delicious. Tacos were made fast and fast. Tortillas were filled to the brim with pastor and fajitas. Salsas offered were great as well. Definitely recommend stopping by for tacos.

What a great spot! My husband got the breakfast tacos and pastor tacos and said both were some of the best he’s ever had.
As a plant based/ vegan eater I had bean and avocado but they also have soyrizo on the menu!
They have plenty of lot/street parking, marga, beers, pops, water, etc. everything was super fresh and had house made salsas for the table.
Everyone was so nice and they have a gourmet coffee stand inside! I got a delicious espresso beverage and was thankful they had oat milk
Would definitely recommend you check them out and we would totally return !

Barbacoa was more greasy than my liking but the fajita taco was great. Great portion size. Get them on corn tortillas.
One bad thing – Wait was terrible! I went on Saturday morning and ordered 4 tacos. Nothing complicated and waited over 30 minutes for it. I hope that was a rare occurrence.

Absolutely a favorite breakfast taco place for me!!! Tacos on corn tortillas are spot on. HUGE and full of flavor! The salsas are really good mild and spicy but not just heat, great flavors! The horchata latte was really good and I haven’t seen it offered anywhere else. Loved it. Overall a really nice place! Clean, nice staff and good eats. :).

We didn’t like the queso or the bag of chips they served us. The breakfast tacos were made with fresh real honemade tortilla . The tacos just didn’t have a lot of flavor. I don’t think the salsa was homemade either. The atmosphere was great and very loud. This is not authentic taqueria.
