Parking can get tight. They have outdoor seating in the back. The menudo is a must try here!

Feels like home when you’re here. Small but mighty, this spot makes a tasty burrito, but also marvelous Mexican breakfast. Super nice crew, and quick service. You’ll love it

CASH ONLY, with a storefront that is barred from floor to ceiling and tinted windows that make it difficult to see if Trine's is open. Step inside and you are transported to the late 1970's when most of the interior was finished. A warm and friendly greeting from the staff is the beginning of an amazingly authentic dining experience. The menu is simple and traditional but includes breakfast options. Prices are inexpensive, especially for the quality of food available. Service is fast and the food is simply amazing 😍🤩

New years day. Went there with sister, her daughter and 5 teen age kids for lunch. The service was great. The waiter was very accommodating placing tables together for us. Food was tasty and the jukebox music was nice to enjoy our meals to. We ate a variety of Mexican food and some of us had hamburgers and fries. It was a comfortable restaurant to start the year off with.

This little hidden gem is a really delicious place for your Mexican soup cravings along with shrimp plates and breakfast plates. Seems like a family owned restaurant, kind, and welcoming. The food came out hot and delicious! Come on down and give them a try.

Best beef soup ever, excellent service, good price's, all the food is really good, we moved from the bay area to Los Baños Ca and we still go for the beef soup, we go to the one on First St, highly recommended.

I love their rendition of chile verde (only at this store now). It is more like Tejano puerco guizado, and very delicious. Their steak a la Mexicana is also very good too, but more like a quick carne guizada. Back in the old days, all the Trini Cafes served freshly made flour tortillas, which makes me think the original owners were Tejano. Very heavy old school Tex-Mex influence, and down home atmosphere. Still one of my favorites.

I give this 4.5 stars. Welcomed by host (cook), price was not bad, and the food was 8/10. Suggestions: season the breakfast burrito a little more. Maybe go a little lighter on the potatoes and more on the eggs or add some other ingredient. The plus side of this is that most places over season their food. This place has zero problem with that. Other than that it was good. I'd go back if the other place in the neighborhood was closed or busy. FYI: I've only eaten here one time and had the bacon breakfast burrito.

Damn it Google! I looked up “breakfast burrito” nearby and chose the highest recommended option and decided to just try it. Absolutely regret this decision. The place WAS packed and I did see many folks with soups, so the soup may be the start of the restaurant here. The breakfast burrito certainly is NOT. It’s just a little bacon egg and hash brown wrapped in a tortilla. First two bites were just tortilla. No salt added. What a disappointment because the place looks good so I got excited. Do NOT come for a breakfast burrito. Not worth $15. That’s SF prices for a bleh burrito.

We ordered a tortas de camarones, which on the menu it said it was $13.75. We were expecting a shrimp dish and once we got the bill we were charged $18 and then when we got home there were no shrimp! It was just a bunch of peppers, rice and beans. Maybe it’s better if you do dine in so that you can make sure you get what you ordered.
