I too am looking for taquerias with “that smell”, you know what I’m talking about, I’ve read thru your website, and let me tell you that we are on the same page.
The way I reached this website was by googling for tacos de Trompo in Beaumont or Port Arthur.
I live in the houston area, and already knew about Taconmadre (One of my favorites – I too hate the processed package the salsa comes in).
I’ve been working in Port Arthur for almost three years now, I’m originally from Monterrey, so you know, los Tacos de Trompo are my favorites, very hard to find in this area, I don’t know where to get’em when I’m here, but when I come back to Houston in the weekends, there’s Julio or Mr. Trompos, I didn’t know about Karanchos, that’s 80 miles away from where I’m at right now…I’m tempted just to go flavour those, just reading your article made me want to bite the keyboard.
If you’re ever in Beaumont you have to go to Taqueria La Bamba (It has that smell) it’s a video rental store/taqueria, like the good old Mexico – you get two for the price of one.
Anyway La Bamba is located on Calder road at the corner of 4th Ave, great carne asada tacos, plus ceviche, coctel camarones, etc.
If you know something I don’t know about Beaumont/Port Arthur area regarding Tacos de Trompo, please let me know, I’m in need.

Regards,and Happy Taco Trails!

I was thinking the same thing about that bright green sauce. I’m going to get the name of it next time because I love that stuff.

Yesterday I made my second trip out to Karanchos in the past week. Jay definitely hit taco gold here and the tacos de trompo([pastor) is some of the best I’ve ever had. Tuesday’s offerings were good but to get the best or freshies I recommend going on a Saturday or Sunday when they have the tower of pork piled up with pineapple on top and shave your taco, torta and gordita filling right into it. It is reddish colored pork perfection at it’s finest. I believe they just reheat the rest of the pastor for the remaining week if I understood my waiter correctly. The chile relleno tacos were damn good as well and the gorditas are worth a try but if you can’t put down as much food as I and many others can, just go with the pastor. i might have to steal one of those bottles of green sauce next time if they wont sell me one.
