Reviews for El Trompo Regio Taqueria in Alexandria, LA

Went in around 1800 and it was pretty busy. Ok nothing unusual. Through the kitchen door you could see people in the back having... vivid conversations. Took the waiter 10 min to take our order. After 30 min of us initially sitting down people in the back cameout and started telling us there was problems with the kitchen. And a lady held the door open and told us get out. Super sketchy. Just wanted some food. Read more

Stopped by for lunch today, horrible. I like just about any Mexican food on the planet, even Taco Bell. This place...blech. I... ordered the special of the day, Gorditas with pollo asada. Grabbed a Corona Light and a Sprite. Nobody else in the place, took25 mins, then it was $10 for the Gorditas and $9 for the beer & Sprite. That's excessive, but I thought " at least the foodwill be good". Worst Mexican Food I Ever Tried To Eat. Sombreros down the street would have been quicker, cheaper and muchbetter. Or even Taco Bell.

Showed up at noon on Sunday, and who may have appeared to be the cook, was busy having her own lunch. This seemed to be the... first sign of things probably not going right. The waitress was nice, but she either didn't speak English or was messing withme because she kept speaking in Spanish after SHE SPOKE IN ENGLISH and asked if I spoke English. ???????? (which I made clearEnglish only) I did get flustered by what I entered into. The lunch specials were in Spanish, and there was too much of alanguage barrier for me to enjoy this spot that other folks give such great ratings to on their reviews. I guess you have to bebi-lingual to deal with the staff here and/or be a Hispanic or Latino. It would not have been worth it for me to be a patron ofa place with an unusually displaced customer service vibe, and moreso, not be pleased with the food. Their cold sodas were theonly things going well for them. Read more

THE BEST tacos in the area. literally. i could put down like 12 of these in a sitting. their tortillas are all home-made and... fresh, and the staff is always warm and welcoming. try the chorizo tacos! Read more

Very slow service, took 45 minutes for them to prepare my takeout order. Also, they forgot the rice on the taco plate, only gave... me beans. They also forgot my second pico de Gallo since they ran out guacamole but still charged me for it . The tacos did notcome with any toppings such as tomato, onion, or cilantro However the lengua/tripe/carne a sass taco were some of the best I?veever had. Very good food. Chips were crunchy and obviously homemade Read more

Stopped by and ordered some of the steak street tacos. The staff member working the counter was very nice and explained all the... options. They offer a variety of salsas for your tacos. As for my street tacos, they were excellent and I will be returning totry some of the other meats they offer. The guacamole and jalapeno salsa were also delicious. Read more

Wonderful staff, Great seating area, Tasty selection of foods and Amazing deserts. We eat there about once a week. Ps.. ask... about spicy sauces they are awesome. Read more

The waitress was very nice but other than that it sucked. The chips were stale and the salsa had absolutely no taste at all. I... had to get sake on my quesadilla because they don't have beef. The stake was so chewy i would have been better off eating arubber boot. The water tasted like tap water and all of the other drinks were bottled. Read more
