Trompo Tacos: Dallas’ Premier Monterrey‑Style Street Taco Destination

Cross the iconic Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and within minutes you’ll find one of Dallas’ most vibrant taco spots: Trompo Tacos.

Despite its weathered orange exterior, the bold black‑and‑white taco sign unmistakably signals a culinary adventure. Located at 839 Singleton Blvd. in West Oak Cliff, Trompo delivers authentic Monterrey‑style street tacos in a no‑frills setting, with each bite costing less than $2.00.

Recognized by Bon Apetit as one of the Best New Restaurants in 2016, Trompo has consistently impressed diners with fresh, bold flavors that keep guests coming back.

Don’t miss the signature taco, a corn tortilla topped with succulent pork, diced onions, and cilantro. Alternative options include a lean bistek (beef) taco and a vegetarian paneer‑poblano taco that are equally delightful. All are paired with a vibrant duo of red and green salsas, letting you dial up the heat to your preference.

For a hearty side, try the Gringo quesadilla—under $4.00. This open‑faced creation layers trompo meat, mozzarella, onions, and cilantro over a crisp tortilla, making it perfect as a main dish or a satisfying accompaniment.
