I wasn’t super impressed with the trompo from El Patron but I bet it’s better outside of the rapid-fire taco fest environment.

If the trompo didn’t get you then maybe the close up will.
After work I decided to try more Lewisville tacos and wait out the insane DFW traffic before going home. Ale Taco was a very good choice. Trompo style pastor, with crispy edges and earthy spices, almost perfect on its own. The orange salsa was a good kick for the tacos, the green not bad either. I’ll definitely be going back.
The last two from the recent Fort Worth Taco Fest were both four star tacos. El Paisa did a fantastic traditional al pastor. The brisket and crema combo from Chuyito’s was also very very good.
This little taqueria South of Dallas was tucked in with a tire shop. Nearly missed it due to the low-key nature of it.
They had pretty good pastor done trompo style. I was told to come back Friday or Saturday evening to get it fresh off the trompo while it’s on the mesquite fired grill. Might do that sometime if I’m out that way.
Another forgotten Taco Fest entry. Not entirely sure the beer was needed in the flavor profile here but it wasn’t bad.
Post workout tacos trompo. Nice flavor and heat from the red sauce.
A double dose of pastor goodness included a four star attempt from the folks at R Taco.
This little piggy ate sixteen tacos this past weekend at the Fort Worth Taco Fest. Here were my first two: a four star pulled pork from Vintage Grill and some ghost pepper heat from Bad Azz Burrito.
Whoops, forgot to post the rest of the Taco Fest tacos! Here’s a solid one from Vintage Grill.
I had the chicken taco from Chicas Tacos. It wasn’t bad but wasn’t really special either. If I didn’t eat so many other tacos I’d have tried her other options…
Birrieria & Taqueria Cortez is one of two local trucks that sprang up and into popularity recently in Fort Worth. Even just after opening for the day, they quickly gathered a full line of cars waiting for tacos.
They were really, really good. Almost like mini quesadillas, three tacos were pliable and filled with cheese and beef. They were savory, beefy, rich, and creamy from the cheese. I almost didn’t mind the juices and grease spilling out onto my shirt and seatbelt.
Definitely worth a visit, just make sure you have napkins or wet wipes on your visit.
