Quite possibly the best Mexican I've had in a long time! The tacos al pastor was top notch with three sauces to choose from! The atmosphere is unique as well. From the tree in the middle of the restaurant to the sports on the TV, El Trompo is my go-to place when working in West Chester! read more

My boyfriend and I came on a Saturday evening and it was busy! We did not have to wait for a table but most of the ones surrounding us were full with families. The party music was playing in another section, the TVs had on Mexican soccer and MMA fights, and there were a few birthday celebrations. Our server was not the most attentive but we got our food and it was delicious. The portion sizes were large but the prices were more than a more standard Mexican restaurant. read more

El Trompo - Fajitas Texanas, TACOS DE LA SIERRA - Mexican Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

The Feast Hall known as El Trompo is not easily compared to other halls that bear the same banner. This place sets itself apart. The music is present, the flavors are layered, and the food arrives with the clear intention of proving itself. And it does. I found myself here with my wife, and within moments our mouths were carried, without warning, to a land of fire and seasoning what the bards call Flavor Town a realm long spoken of by Lord Guy himself, as the realm has long whispered. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and corn. The corn was excellent, and the chicken tasted as though it had been roasted beneath a wyvern's watchful eye, emerging impossibly juicy and demanding a pause after the first bite. This is food that expects to be noticed. The mashed potatoes, however, I cannot defend. They must be banished. They reminded me uncomfortably of the fare one finds at the Golden Arch Tavern present, edible, and entirely forgettable. Even a hall that proves itself must answer for such lapses. Still, the greater portion of this feast was strong, memorable, and well made. I would rather forgive a weak side than forget a great main, and this hall earns its return. By the decree of Lord Foodist, I grant this feast 7.8 out of 10 gold pieces. -- The Food Lord, House of Golden Tongue read more

DO NOT GO HERE ON CINCO DE MAYO! Firstly, the Dj music was EXTREMELY loud. by extremely i mean EXTREMELY. i listen to loud metal music in my headphones daily but the music in here hurt my ears so bad!!! secondly, the food is average at best. because of the loud ass music, the sweet waitress miss understood my order and i received the wrong dish and had to wait another 30 minutes for my correct dish because of how busy it was. lastly, because it was super busy (hour and 30 minute wait), after leaving my brothers car was TOWED! there was absolutely no space in the parking lot with how busy it was, so my brother and lots of others parked in the business building's parking lot that was right over. Eagle Towing had a field day and towed like 45 cars and of course on a Tuesday when everyone has work! im never coming back here again. read more

If only we could give 6 stars... we had an AMAZING time! Ramiro Ortiz was our server and he absolutely made our experience. He was quick with our orders and drinks, we can't wait to come back and request him! He recommended the meal with the entire octopus and it was incredible. The whole table wished they had gotten it. He recommended one of my family members drinks as well and they loved it, he has great recommendations. There is so many spaces to eat, the outside patio is our favorite. read more

First the food had outstanding flavor. The restaurant design was cool. This review would have had 5 stars but the reason it didn't was the following... there were 4 people standing at the front and no one brought us drinks or offered anything for over 15-20 minutes. Then 30 minutes after we got our food they took turns coming to ask if we needed anything roughly every 5 minutes with awkward stares. It seemed they were trying to kick us out. I hadn't seen my friend in 5 years so I was looking forward to chatting. We left after an hour which is typical time at a table. The customer service should be better. read more

El Trompo - Chicken Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

You can grab a booth or sit at the bar, and they even offer tableside guac. The drinks are pretty typical for this kind of spot (a little heavy on the sugar), but you can ask for them to be made how you like--I had a mezcal margarita that was really good. The fajitas hit the spot, but I'd suggest asking for extra tortillas. This is a great lunch spot--the food came out hot, the portions were generous, and parking was easy. The menu has all the usual suspects--tacos, nachos, fajitas--with a few surprises like seafood dishes. The lunch specials are definitely worth it, especially if you come hungry. Go check it out . read more

West Chester has it's fair share of Mexican restaurants and El Trompo adds to the list. Luckily it can hold it's own with an extensive menu, good food and friendly service. I stopped in for lunch and they started me off with a bowl of salsa and corn chips. I ordered their Lunch Special #19 which was grilled shrimp and onions served with a salad of lettuce, tomato and sliced avocado, Mexican rice, and a couple of warm, flour tortillas ($12.99). Portions were more than adequate. My meal had 10 medium shrimp which turned out to be more than I could eat. Unless you eat like a Sumo wrestler, you won't go away hungry from here. Both the salsa and the shrimp had a mild heat level which I liked. They have a full bar and an extensive drink menu. Outdoor seating is available in the parking lot area. It's not very inviting but it IS outdoor seating. The atmosphere inside is nice but it's a big open space so noise levels when they are busy could be high. I plan to go there for dinner soon. read more

Great ambiance and flexibility seating our very large group of 14! The highlight was the table side made Guac (my friend said it was the best she's had), and my tacos were great (Al pastor is solid, lengua was pretty authentic). I hear this place is pretty packed at night and on weekends, but with live music! Check it out- read more

El Trompo - Taco Tacos Chingones - Mexican Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

We were a party of 8 that went to El Trompo on a Saturday night. The place was packed. The food was slow to come. Couple people in our group didn't get the food for long time in spite of talking to the servers multiple times! Worst of all it was the deafening music/noise from a live band that made it impossible to have a conversation even with the person sitting next to you!!! All our iPhones were buzzing saying we were in a unhealthy noisy situation. I wonder what OSHA would say about it for the sake workers' health and safety for prolonged exposure to such a high sound level!!! If you go, make sure what kind of entertainment they have planned. Take young kids or babies at your own risk if you go there when live music is playing. Even otherwise the ambient music is played very loudly most of the times. read more

I had the tacos and my wife had the steak and chicken fajitas, and everything was fantastic, including the service and the atmosphere in the restaurant. We're from out of town and we came here based on the Yelp reviews and they didn't steer us wrong. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

My fist time visiting this area of Ohio and El Trompo. The food was flavored and drinks were on point. read more

Really conflicted on this review. The decor, vibe, and service are a 5/5! We came with a very large group and they were prepared for us. Chips and salsa already on the tables and our server was phenomenal. The food was less than desirable. Not many of us enjoyed our dishes. Over cooked meat and just not good quality ingredients. Our margaritas also tasted off. Some of us couldn't even finish them- we couldn't figure out what it was. But the music, service, and FUN was on point !! read more

Hubby & I stopped in for dinner. We were seated immediately & the server took our drink order while we perused the vast menu. The ambiance is day of the dead. We ate the delicious salsa & tortilla chips while waiting on our food to arrive. I ordered Tostada de ceviche with shrimp. It was good. I also ordered El Trompo Favorita. I especially liked the shrimp & guacamole in this appetizer. Hubby got BBQ ribs which came with mashed potatoes & a nice avocado salad. We both enjoyed our food. We'll be back. read more

My friends in OH introduced me to this place before I moved and I love it. I will say the menu is a little overwhelming but I usually like to try something new everytime I visit. I tried the chimichangas, my friends got nachos and the burrito Ramon. Everything came out fresh and hot. They also had free tequila shots that night! I will say even when you walk in and see other people's food - it always looks delicious! The West Chester location is the only one I've visited and I love the decor and the murals at this location. Also it's way bigger than it looks from the outside (like the Tardis). I would recommend trying it. The next time I go I would like to get more people to go so we can order the Parrillada la Catrina! read more

Very expensive. Good food. This restaurant has flair and seems like it's a place to go to celebrate. Margaritas were good but sometimes you just want a Margarita without all the smoke and mirrors. It had dry ice, sweet and sour candy strip, etc. etc etc. for the experience but prices reflect. Chips and salsa good. Food decent. Definitely an experience in all! read more

El Trompo - Chicken milanesa torta - Mexican Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

My husband & I went to El Trompo for the second time last night & it did not disappoint! Let me start by saying if you are looking for a quaint, quiet place for dinner - this ain't it! Now, if you are looking for fun, music (sometimes live!), exciting drinks, & delicious food - you've come to the right place! We were immediately seated & started with the complimentary chips & salsa, which was a great start to the meal. Chips were perfectly seasoned & the salsa had just the right amount of heat. For drinks, I ordered the 16 oz strawberry daiquiri (only bc it's better for everyone if I steer clear of tequila ) & it had me wishing I would have went for the jumbo!! When I tell you this is the best daiquiri I've ever had, whew! It had whipped cream, chocolate sauce, gummy & sour gummy worms, fresh strawberries, & these delicious chocolates with marshmallow & what tasted like raspberry jelly inside. I felt like I had died & gone to heaven. If I had to choose a last meal, this would be the drink accompanying it. My husband had a regular margarita on the rocks. He seemed to enjoy it, but was so focused on his delicious meal he almost forgot about it! My go-to Mexican food is always enchiladas. I had them last time we came & enjoyed them (I'm a sucker for mole sauce ) but wanted to try something new. Last night I had the El Trompo Bowl (gluten free; choice of ground beef, shredded chicken, shredded beef or grilled vegetables; rice, melted cheese, black beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, corn, cheese and red sauce) with chicken & it was delicious! Perfect amount of crunch with great flavors. My husband had Tacos Dobiados (3 fried corn tortilla, filled with ground beef & pork mix, guacamole, sour cream, special tomatoes salsa, served with rice and "charros" beans). His go-to is fajitas, which he had the previous time & had a hard time not ordering again, but we both agreed we were venturing out & he was as glad as I was that he did bc these were outstanding! Perfectly crunchy & so many layers of delicious flavor throughout. We always try at least a bite of each other's & so far neither of us have had a bad bite of food! Our server was very attentive & helpful. As I mentioned before it is quite loud with the music, so our interactions were quick, but he provided great service & was willing to answer questions & provide recommendations. read more

El Trompo - Seafood nachos - Mexican Near Me - West Chester, Ohio

So this is one of my few checking that I haven't taken. Pic or two. My BFF and I came here for lunch as I really wanted some chicken soup. So let me start by saying this is kind of like a sort of upscale Mexican restaurant but not in a costly upscale more of a fun I am in Acapulco kind of place vice a normal local place. The service was fast and helpful and took great care of us. We both ordered water, well I ordered plain and she ordered water with gas. I.e bubbly water. I ordered some chicken soup and she ordered a taco salad with chicken. My soup was spot on and very tasty. I really like chicken soup at any Mexican restaurant. Our waiter also came to check on us often. I was very happy with the food and the chips and salsa was very good. I will gladly come back. read more
