About Tío Trompo

Tío Trompo is a taqueria, so expect a short, meat-forward menu, corn tortillas, and salsas made in house rather than a broad sit-down Mexican menu. It sits in Houston (77007), TX, independently run.

Diners rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 752 reviews. That rating, weighted by how many people left it, is what places it where it is in our Houston ranking.

If a trompo is turning, order al pastor. Otherwise asada or carnitas is the safe read. Ask for everything con todo and work the salsa bar.

It is on Shepherd Dr in Houston. Use the Directions button for turn-by-turn.

Call ahead or check the map listing before a special trip. Small taquerias change hours often, and our data refreshes on a schedule, not live.

What to expect on the menu

We do not have Tío Trompo’s exact menu on file, so this is what a taqueria of this kind typically serves, not a guarantee of today’s board:

• Al pastor, when there is a trompo turning
• Carne asada and carnitas
• Pollo, and often suadero, lengua or cabeza
• Corn tortillas, doubled
• A salsa bar with onion, cilantro, lime and two or three house salsas

For the real menu and prices, use the venue’s site or the Google listing.

We do not have Tío Trompo’s own hours on file. The quickest way to check is to call (832) 804-6364.

For a rough idea of when to turn up, here is the median opening and closing time across the 60 taquerias in Texas in our data that do publish hours. This describes that group, not this venue, and should never be treated as Tío Trompo’s schedule.
