They say you can't always judge a book by its cover, and this no-frills, counter-service only taco joint is proof of that. But don't take our word for it, take Bon Appétit's, which named Trompo a finalist on its 2016 America's best new restaurant list. Here, you'll find five different Monterrey-style street tacos that go for around $2 each and range in a choice from bistek to poblano chile with paneer cheese. You can't go wrong with any choice, but you'd be remiss to not try the restaurant's signature Trompo taco, which features succulent roasted pork sliced straight off the vertical spit it's named for. Don't sleep on the quesadillas or Mexican corn either.
