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.

The tradition of food that’s been handed down since grandma started this place in the 60s.
It’s like stepping back to great times and great food now run by Trines granddaughter.

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.

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.

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.
