Several times I came over for dinner and is not even 6 pm it was just 5:25 pm and they already closed which means you can't even buy a dinner because the cooks are already closing. Why you indicate 6 pm when it 5:25 pm. Why can't you indicate 5:25 pm instead of 6 pm. Bad service I know it takes time to clean because I used to be cook but don't indicate 6 pm when you can't even buy a dinner food. read more

My wife raved about the cassava cake for days, it was just like she had as a child. The halo halo was awesome too.

Yum!!! This is just an authentic Filipino food in Temecula. Very friendly, highly recommended.

This place is the bomb. Great food great pastries and servers are so friendly. Kare kare is so good and the dinugoan is great. Get your food between 11:00 to 1:30 so the food is the best taste. The ube halaya is so decadent. read more

My usual go-to in the area for Kare Kare. It saves me from having to do all of the wok.

We came in today for Arroz Caldo and when we got our order the arroz caldo is like paste. Too thick and when I asked for hot water so that I can water it down so that I can eat it, the lady behind the counter told me they don't have hot water with an attitude. It looks like the soup is a left over from yesterday.You can see on the picture the soup is like a paste. read more

I don't write much reviews and I definitely hate leaving bad reviews, but what the fuck people. I bought some Pan De Ube from 88 ranch market that was made by Trining's. I ate the first one and it was tasty. So I decided to eat one more and I soon realized my gluttony deceived me. As I was chewing the second Ube bread I felt some type of hard substance, somewhat cartilage-like in my mouth. I spat it out and had my first regret of the day. There laid in my hand either a pair of insect legs or some type of fish/chicken cartilage; I don't know what the fuck it was but it definitely didn't belong in my mouth. Weird thing was I kind of enjoyed it, just kidding that was the second most disgusting thing I ever put in my mouth. And yes I keep a memorized list of the horrid things that had the pleasure of being in my mouth. Trining's has a super nice staff in the front. Those who work in the back though are careless about food preparation and have a disregard for the public's well-being by allowing this item to be sold. Although the items here are sweet and tasty I cannot look over that fact that my food was contaminated. Fix this issue or else you may lose more customers. I suggest cleaning your prep-area constantly (more than just once a day) and spray for bugs on a regular basis. read more

Homemade Filipino food and pastries, yum! This is a small bakery inside 88 Ranch Market. They have a decent selection of Filipino pastries and they offer food also. The food selection is minimal, but I know they offer catering services. Although this isn't the best bakery, it is good considering the minimal options in town. read more

Great point-point / sit down Filipino food. There's some already prepared entrees and baked goods. But the best is prepared when ordered. I prefer going here than across Ynez to the bigger chain. They also have boba drinks that are safer than other options out in the Temecula Valley. All-in-all I'd recommend this to those that have Filipino tastebuds. If you're looking for a regular bakery, then go elsewhere because you'll most likely be confused by this place. read more

Line was long when i first came so i decided to browse the store, and it still was long after, but no bigggie, it was worth the wait, i grabbed the ensaymada w pandan and a cream cheese roll and they were amazing! Grabbed a corn beef roll and it was so good, warm, and the inside almost tasted cheesy creamy, but there wasnt any which was suprising the meat and potatoes were so good! the lumpias were crispy but of average taste , wanted to try their food it looked good, but i didnt want to hold the line to ask what everything was read more

Thanks for the clarification Lawrence. That makes total sense. I did order the larger size. The girl in front only gave me two choices - large and larger. Previous time I ordered the round cake (inadvertently because it was over the phone). It's all good. Now I know. read more

Food is good but there is no urgency for the workers to move quicker even if the line is out the door. Veryyyy slowwww service!!!!

Food was decent. Needed something quick and warm to eat, just a finger food. So I ordered the Battered Cod and Fries to eat there. Came out fresh. There was nothing wrong with it. But it wasn't special either. It was good. Service was fast. Although, the lady that took my order was kind of confused when I read the menu behind her "Battered Cod Fish and fries". It took her a good 15 seconds to turn around and figure out what it was. Although, I didn't order filipino food at this filipino restaurant... my food was decent. Environment was friendly. Tables are made of varnished wood that reminded me of restaurants back in the Philippines. Music was decently loud but not blaring. I would come back here to try other dishes! read more

Trining's Bakery & Cafe - Battered Cod Fish and Fries - Filipino Near Me - Temecula, California

See sigggg.....a must try (but stay away if you're vegan lol...its loaded with meat!) Our favorite item for sure.

Hi , I've always come here for breads especially ensaymada and never had any problem except today . I bought various kinds of bread on Wednesday and I always refrigerate them and just heat it up as I want it for breakfast with coffee . So come Saturday morning I heated up 1 ensaymada, settled in the recliner and then .. I took the first bite , I was chewing on something not edible , I thought to myself maybe it's the cheese got hard on the paper when heating up , so I spit it out and it is a piece of plastic ! Now I used to buy siopao there too but had something in there as well that didn't belong there for ingredient so I stopped buying siopao too , and now I'll be afraid to get ensaymada from there again . I have 1 left and I'm just gonna throw it away . Where should I complain ? And if I do what are they gonna do about it ? I don't want to get the place sued coz it's my fellow Filipino people trying to make a living but what else can be done ? Maybe can they be more careful in preparing food? read more

December 24th, 2018 As I sit in the restaurant waiting for an other that my family placed two days ago for pick up today. Long story short my family decided to place an order for the holidays on December 22nd for an 11AM pickup today and paid for. As we get to the restaurant we handed the receipt to the dude at the cashier expecting to receive it at 11AM and be on our way and fast forward to 12 noon we finally get our order. Really one hour to wait for an order that was clearly placed two days ago with a pickup time at 11AM?? Come on that's not acceptable and either you guys have a better system of tracking orders or just don't take any orders at all read more

Today I pre-ordered vegetable lumpia/egg roll. When it was picked up, Trinings prepared shanghai style, not veggy. They tried to reason as to why it was shanghai but I told them i always order there n i specifically said veggies. Their response is that the shanghai has veggies in it. They offered to replace it n for me to return the shanghai. Seconds later they call back n told me i dont have to return the shanghai, they'll just replace it with veggies. I arrive to pick up the veggies, they tell me they made a mistake n that i have to pay for the veggies as well. Poor customer service, they made a mistake n trinings refuses to accept mistake n make customer happy. Pathetic service today. Thank you for responding Lawrence/Jojo. Not a case of misunderstanding, it was poor customer service. My family and I always go there and a few of your staff recognize us. We know what to order and we make sure we clearly state it over the phone. When my order was picked up by a co-worker, my co-worker emphasized "vegetable" and it was also written on a piece of paper at the time of pick up and shown to your staff. Bottom line is that if there was a misunderstanding, at that point, your staff should have called and clarified what the order was. Trining's has my number. It's very unacceptable how my family and I have to go there back and forth simply because your store refused to waste a few pieces of egg-roll/lumpia hoping we would settle for what we did not order. When 88 Ranch Closed and rumor was circulating because of uncleanliness, I was still supporting Trining's and telling people I know to do the same even though most preferred Island Pacific. The incident last week was very unacceptable. Tell your staff to use a phone so as to confirm and clarify what your staff "misunderstood." read more

pick up your phone. been calling for 10 mins now?????????????????!?!?????? They finally picked up the phone and placed my order, I was told it'll be ready to pick up after 10 minutes. That was 11:18 AM. Came and lick up my order at 11:45, there was a long line. No big deal, but only two servers and did not really care the the line keeps getting long. Finally reached the counter at 11:58 just to be told my order is not ready. The woman that was helping me was apologetic, but the other tall , elderly woman who rudely said they are very busy. That is fine, then tell me to come back at a later time and not promise that my order is ready in 10 minutes and when I came to pick it up after 30 minutes the promised pick up time - and it still not ready. I did not appreciate that rude woman- why are you in customer service businesses?? I am so done with this store - People go to Island Pacific or to Auntie Coras. Everything would've been understood and accepted, if your staff, especially that rude tall elderly woman, was not so rude. read more

Without a native Filipino guide you might be totally lost here. Crispy Dilis, Kare kare, tapsilog, lechon, tortang talong, kawali, pandesal, sisig, pancit, lumpia, bangus, halo halo, diniguan, bistek, puto ube.....how can food with such adorable and fun sounding names be so unattractive? Trining's must be doing something right tho, the place is very busy. When my girlfriend and I were there there was a constant line at the turo-turo glass fronted case with customers appreciative of the taste and quality awaiting their turn to make their selections. We even saw several obviously non-Filipinos dining there and also ordering dishes to take home. I had the pansit, adobo with garlic rice and some sort of fried vegetable/shrimp patty..(you break it apart and dip it in vinegar before eating) ...not bad at all. If you are a picky eater you may be too intimidated to dive into the great variety and exotically named assortment of entrees, but if you ask nicely of the serving ladies you may get them to tell you "whats what" in the trays behind the glass. Seating is open tables with 4-6 chairs, nothing fancy, but if this is all new to you as it was to me it's fun try new things and experiences and people watch. Prices were very reasonable and portions were abundant. Suggestion to Trining's management......on the food labels, under the name of each entree, how about listing in English what each item is and what is in it? I think you might get more business if you do. Will I return? Most likely as they have the Filipino goods, are reasonably priced and are close to where I visit when in the Temecula area. Mabuting gana! read more

Best Filipino food in town. Everything is always fresh and the customer service is outstanding.

Lechon Kawali is made to order so there is a slight wait but worth it cause its really crunchy, fatty and meaty, delicious! They have my bopis, one of my favorites but I never order it because it always looks old or over cooked. read more

Filipino bfast of longaniza, pork torino, garlic rice, and arroz caldo......sooo good

Great Filipino food, the best in the area. Friendly and helpful employees and just a great place to get the best Filipino food and desserts

Breakfast Tapsilog looks like leftover beef, dark and very salty. I'm not even ask if I want anything to drink. Not eating here again! read more

Food doesn't taste the same.. I made a complaint to someone and it was ignored. The person who was on the phone forgot to hang up the phone, I heard them talking and laughing. How an ethical is that? read more

My previous review weighed in on their hours of operation affecting quality of service and food choices. This updated review will focus mainly on food selections... Steam Table remains limited in choices, but love the surprise off-menu items like lechon, fried chicken. You need to show up regularly during lunch to catch these great items. Service is pretty much the same, albeit friendlier. I went through a few mis-haps, my order went to the other customer at one point, queue line more defined. A few customers including myself were "admonished" by other patrons for checking out the steam table --- no one knows we need to be "in-line" first before making the selection... would be nice to have a sign to tell us "where" to go first so we do not get "shamed-for-ignorance" by fellow customers? Regardless, food and service are 5-stars, minus the little irritations here and there beyond the restaurant's control. read more

Although the ambiance isn't there ain't nothing like a home cooked Filipino meal you know that meal that reminds you of your moms cooking. Portions are big and they cook their food fresh daily and menu changes daily as well with specials. read more

Favorite place for authentic home style Filipino food. I moved here from New York and love to eat here when I'm homesick. They have a loyalty program too so you can get rewards like free halo halo or entree. I recommend the kare kare and adobo, their soups are good too. I also order lumpia shanghai for every family party. Never had a problem here. Some staff are friendlier than others. read more

This was a bad experience for me, it was my first time here. Im going to get to the point so its clearly stated Customer service: honest and polite, but not generous. Food portions: normal, not too generous Food quality: its pretty bad, there was a small batch of meat left and she didnt bother to switch out and put fresh food. I clearly stated it was my first time and she didnt want to leave a first good impression with quality. Meat was hard and tasted old Kare had no vegetables, I ordered a two item and inside was two peaces of meat and one tripe and maybe 3 green bean. Sisig was way over priced. Maybe it was just a bad first experience, I'm not gonna jusge them but this is how it went. Bakery shelf was also barely filled with pastries, I asked how some items tasted and she laughed and said she hasnt tried any if them. read more

Sisig here is on point. I can't say the same for the sisig fries, however. The mayo & cheese sauce doesn't allow for the flavors of the meat to shine through. The bangus sisig has a lot of flavor, nice texture (not over fried/dry). Pancit, bistek, dinaguan and desserts were good too. Service was decently fast. They know what they are doing & the cooks haven't changed so we'll be back! read more

Recently had catering from them pretty hesitant because of past experience from the food trays I ordered before. But me and my mom told them our comments from previous orders and they listened. The spaghetti was a bomb, beef mechado always a winner, chicken wings is good too. Beef steak, lechon kawali still crunchy overnight, and sweet and sour fish is the best too. read more

Located inside the 88 Ranch Market, you could smell the food as you walked toward the door. For those that follow me, you know I only post if the place was really bad or absolutely fantastic. We happened to be visiting family here and as the weather is unbearably hot, I wanted a filipino snack. Taho. We looked up the closest place and Trining's was it! The staff is friendly and the food is fresh. We ordered the following: Tosilog (tocino, eggs, and garlic fried rice) Sisig Fries (Huge hit with the family because the Sisig was cooked fresh and still crunchy) Chicken Adobo (from the point point area, my kid destroyed it before I got a taste) Halo Halo x2 (best dessert ever ... the gulaman was perfectly sweetened) Taho (if you don't know what it is, get some) This is a go to place for my family now that we tried it. Fantastic place to go eat. Family owned by a local family in Temecula, so you know they care about their customers and community. read more

My fiancé was craving sisig so stopped here. There sisig was good & the calamari was great too. Will be coming back here again :) read more

Best Halo halo I have ever had! Lots of little bits in the bottom, and you get a choice of ice cream flavor (ube, jackfruit, mango, cheese). We have brought some home for family a 20 minute drive away and they barely even melted! Their turon when fresh are really good too. Nice and crispy on the outside. Yum! read more

THIS PLACE!! Soo delicious and 100% Authentic. Big portions with the perfect ratio of ingredients. We ordered the sisig fries, pancit, bbq pork and chicken, lumpia, and Pork Sisig.. added some garlic rice and two fried eggs. it's enough to last me and my husband a couple days! The SISIG FRIES!! SO FIRE!! Friendly staff. Will be returning for LIFE (: read more

Always great. Food is as good as what my momma makes at home. You can't go wrong with the originals. Sinigang, adobo, kare kare, pancit, arroz caldo,... yummers. And don't get me started on the desserts, good stuff. read more

I've had plenty of authentic Filipino food being Filipino myself. I stumbled upon this place because I was shopping at the market. I figured it would save me some time to cook dinner and just buy some to go. The portions were ok. The food (I ordered adobo and Kare Kare) was ok but wasn't the best I ever had. I also ordered my favored dessert which was the Leche Flan, and after I was almost done eating it, I noticed it had a small piece of mold growing. I didn't get sick or anything, and it tasted normal, but it just goes to show how old it must of been sitting out that long. That was really upsetting. read more
