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

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.

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.
