Taqueria Tachingón Tampa

"Nestled within a discrete and unassuming plaza, Tachingon is a hidden taco spot that defies all expectations. This family-owned establishment, where everything is made from scratch. My favorite are trompo tacos, they will transport your taste buds to another dimension. Trompo tacos are a culinary delight worth exploring for those unfamiliar with the term. Originating from Mexico, these tacos showcase marinated meat cooked on a vertical spit known as a trompo. The meat is often seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices, creating a tantalizing flavor profile. As the trompo spins slowly, the meat is sliced off in thin, succulent pieces, making each taco a mouthwatering masterpiece. Upon entering, the unassuming interior might not grab your attention. It's a mix of a restaurant and a grocery store, giving it a unique charm. However, what awaits inside this unpretentious space is an explosion of flavors.

"Love this spot in their Al Pastor tacos! Each bite has so much flavor!!! Their sauces pair perfectly with each marinade. You can’t beat that sweet and savory mix with the pineapple. The owners are two cousins from Mexico and they are incredibly kind as well!"

"Tachingón is a family-owned gem. Their tacos are a burst of juiciness and flavor, whether you choose al pastor, chicken, or roasted beef, all wrapped in perfect tortillas. Don't miss their soul-warming pozole. Come hungry and experience the true taste of Mexico in Tampa!"

"This small family owned market tucked away in a strip plaza is one of the best finds we have come across! They only have about 4 menu items, but they are soooooo delicious. We got Al pastor tacos, but also tried the chicken and beef tacos as well and they were amazing. Everything was so clean inside and the environment was welcoming. I definitely recommend trying this place out"
