Complete with a folky mural, El Trompo is like walking into Mexico City, despite being in the heart of Kensington Market. The taco bar and cactus grill serves traditional Mexican fare. Whether it’s chile con huevo (scrambled eggs in a green salsa) for breakfast or melted cheese served in a clay pot for lunch, many of the Mexican delicacies on the menu are unique to El Trompo. Fitting in to its neighbourhood, the space is wildly colourful and offers a bustling patio for diners to sit, sip and enjoy. The most popular menu item is the taco al pastor, which the servers will show you how to prepare and eat like a real Mexican. Catch El Trompo’s food truck if you can!
