The TROMPO Tacos Menu
Everything comes on handmade nixtamal tortillas, pressed when you order. Salsa bar included with every order: roja, verde, macha, and habanero-pineapple.
Del Trompo
Carved to order off the live spit, never off a steam tray. The reason the line is out the door.

Al Pastor Taco
$3.75Guajillo and achiote marinated pork, 48 hours in the adobo, charred pineapple, white onion, cilantro.

Vampiro al Pastor

Torta al Pastor
$11.00Telera roll, refried black beans, carved pastor, avocado, pickled jalapeno, crema.
Tacos a la Carta
Double tortillas, onion and cilantro standard. Ask for them dorados (crisped on the flat top) at no charge.

Carne Asada
$4.25Skirt steak hit hard on the flat top. Lime, sal, salsa verde. The char is the point.

Pollo Adobado
$3.50Chicken thighs marinated overnight in chile negro and Mexican oregano. Crisp-edged, never dry.

Suadero

Quesabirria
$5.00Braised birria, Oaxaca cheese, griddled until it crackles. Consome on the side for dipping.

Quesabirria Trio
