Octopus
Kara S.

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.

Fajitas

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 .

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!

Birria Tacos

Super tasty food and fast service. The place was packed but our server was never far. I especially love the decorations and vibe!

Chicken Fajitas

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.

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.

Taco Tacos Chingones

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-

Chimichangas
Tiffany W.

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!

This is a very fun spot! I would imagine it's amazing after hours…read more.. Our server, Luz, was quick and friendly and gave great recommendations. I had a delicious passionfruit margarita. Then we ordered the pork belly bites (what? amazing) and a birria pizza. My only "complaint" is my inability to finish it all. We had a wonderful time, and we'll visit again!

This disappoints me to say this as I've always liked their food and visit the AMC theater next door…read morefrequently, but I can't condone theft. I won't give them anymore business and warn others. THEY WILL WRITE IN THEIR OWN TIPS We had dinner there Saturday evening. It took approx. 25 min. to get our bill after we finished eating. Nobody came to check on us. Our waiter Ricardo was nowhere to be found. I left a $4 tip because we were disappointed in the service we received. Today, my bank statement shows they took $14 out on tip. Instead of $69.99 I was billed $79.99. I called the restaurant to complain and inquire about what happened. They told me I needed to send them pictures of the check to a personal cell phone number. Even though this seemed unnecessary I complied. Then they sent me the picture attached to this review as if to dispute my claim and told me, "It says $14". I was like "Yeah, because someone wrote an a 1 in-front of the 4! Look at the total: $69.99 that is what I wrote in after the $4 tip I left." I explained to them that their picture only further proves my point that their staff had written in extra $10 for themselves out of my pocket. They apologized and said I could come get $10 cash and they'd talk to the waiter. Unacceptable. I made a special trip out during middle of my workday to go collect the $10 they wrongly took and will not be returning. I will be sharing this on multiple platforms to warn others to be cautious.
