I had a fantastic experience at Twisted Trompo! The food was incredibly tasty and felt authentically traditional. I tried the tacos with carnitas and chicken, both were flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they put real care into their ingredients and preparation. On top of that, the service was outstanding friendly, attentive, and fast. Definitely a spot I’ll be returning to. Highly recommend!

Twisted Trompo was an absolute lifesaver! We stumbled across this spot in Downtown Dallas, and I’m so glad we did. The food was really good flavorful, fresh, and definitely hit the spot. If I had to describe it, I’d say it’s a solid Mexican restaurant with a twist. Whether you’re in the area and need a quick bite or just craving some good Mexican food, this place is worth checking out. Great service, tasty food, and a chill vibe can’t ask for more.

I will definitely come again! The quesabirria was freakin' delicious and the Mexican Candy drink was also amazing. The bartenders, Sonia & Javier were very nice and attentive. The kitchen cook, Cecil, did an excellent job making this scrumptious food! I enjoyed that the quesabirria was perfectly fried with a light crispy crunch. The boxing fight was playing on the tv at the bar and they also had a DJ who played a great variety of music!

My teenage daughters and I walked here from our hotel a few blocks away. We don't eat meat but we were able to find some very good stuff on the menu. Portion size, food taste, atmosphere, and service were all great.

This place is a great spot for late-night dining and drinks. The tacos are tasty, but they could be a bit less greasy. The cashier staff could benefit from some training on customer service; they need to be more welcoming and friendly. On the bright side, the bar service is excellent. They make fantastic mojitos and margaritas.

Amazing Tacos! The alambre tacos were the bomb! I’m from El Paso so tacos are a big thing and they match up really good. Salsa was also delicious! A must try!

I had the traditional street tacos. The tacos were amazing!! The only thing was the rice, I bit into some hard rice. Maybe it was an off day. My family had the beef quesadillas and Cuban torta, with no complaints. Try the PASTOR. The meat was very tender and flavorful.

The twisted fries were the best thing I purchased from here. Elotes was okay, needed some seasoning, maybe add some more cheese. Quesabirria tacos were small so I got 5. The rice needed seasoning too. Beans were ok. Churros has caramel in the middle. They were delicious. Island rum punch was okay, it was sweet and didn't have much alcohol. It was still good though. We spent $80 but we ordered a lot so we could try different things on the menu.
