It's got potatoes and big beef chunks and the portion can easily feed two. I also picked up some food another day for my family - big pan con lechon to share, the soup, and the chicken tacos. Service was good, they cook it to order. I can tell, the mariquita chips that come with the sandwich tasted fresh and not stale like other places. Sandwich was a winner. Perfectly toasted bread, good meat portions. Ambiance inside is pretty nice. I'd enjoy eating there or more takeout. Glad to have discovered this esquina

Their Cuban bread before the meal is one of those small details people remember, and they serve way more than just pork -- the menu is loaded with classic Cuban comfort food. During the lunch rush, parking can definitely turn into a mission, especially around noon, but getting there early makes a huge difference and there's usually plenty of parking available. The service is top notch.

If there is a mistake they do not at least try to help they just tell you, it's your problem. My husband also had a situation on his order and when trying to talk to staff he also encountered rude, and they were not paying attention to what he was saying. I hope that this is just a temporary issue for this location. Please ensure staff is educated when handling customers.

Located right outside of Westland Mall facing the parking lot next to H & M…read more Lots to look at and admire. Loved the lighting fixtures and the murals on the walls. Great music and friendly staff. What we ordered- Croquetas 10/10 - Soft creamy inside and lightly crispy on the outside. Drizzled with a aioli style sauce. (In my opinion)the croquetas were so good they didn't need any sauce. Churassco w/ white rice, black beans and plantains 10/10 ohh this is everything a churassco should be. Juicy, tender and cooked full of so much flavor. The rice was perfect not sticky just perfectly fluffy and not oily and the beans are exactly what I always hope to be served at any Cuban restaurant. Absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. I mean if they told me Abuela had made them I would totally believe it. Chefs kiss The hubs ordered the Picanha with morro rice and plantains 10/10 No crumbs or grains of rice was left on his plate! Absolutely delicious Needless to say this place is an absolute must! Definitely will be back

However, from both experiences, this is a solid spot when you're craving Cuban comfort food. My most recent order was lunch for myself today. I have a Fitness challenge coming up at OTF I need to bulk up more than my usual salad and chopchops. I ordered their pollo à la plancha (grilled chicken), moros rice and tostones. My order was a pretty good size came delivered at a good temperature. I will say the order was mostly rice, but the grilled chicken breast was bad enough and had a nicely tangy citrus marinade plus lots of little onions. This is a spot you can't go wrong with for the classics!

We've been coming to Trigo Café for years, and it has become one of our family's favorite places…read more Julio, one of the owners, always makes us feel so welcomed and truly treats everyone like family. Our favorite time to visit is Sunday brunch, especially since they have a special menu. We recently came for Father's Day, and even though Julio was celebrating as a father himself, he was working incredibly hard to make sure every guest had a great experience. You can really see how much heart and dedication he pours into his business. As expected on Father's Day, there was a bit of a wait, especially since we were a larger party, but none of us minded. To thank us for our patience, Julio generously brought out croquetas for the table on the house, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I can't recommend Trigo Café enough. The food is consistently excellent, the service is warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like home. While brunch is our favorite, their lunch and dinner are just as great, and the new tapas and wine area they recently added is a fantastic addition. If you haven't been, you're missing out!

The girl who served me was very attentive to me when I visited and helped me with any questions i had; made me feel very welcomed.

For example, you walk up to the window and greet the staff and ask to pick up your order, they tell you to wait (they keep gossiping) 5 minutes later after they've ignored you they hand you your food that's been sitting on the counter right in front of your face for the last 5 minutes. Then you hand them your card....and guess what, expect to wait another 5 minutes for them to hand it back to you...you might think they are busy.....nooottt at alllll.

Honestly one of the best wraps I've had in a long time. That said, I was a little confused by the drive-through system. Since it was my first time, I let the lady know, placed my order, and was told to drive around and park outside the drive-thru. Then I received a text saying my food was ready and to go back through the drive-thru. When I did, it felt like there was a bit of miscommunication -- I was made to feel like I should've stayed parked and waited for them to bring it out, even though the text said otherwise. I'm sure it may just take a visit or two to fully understand their process, and it could've been a simple mix-up. But aside from that, the food was incredible, and I'd still highly recommend giving this place a try!
