President's Day is a good night to go to Trebol, if you don't want a crowd. Points of interest for me were a Marilyn Manson-like painting, wrestling masks circa 1958, and the kitch film featuring Santo vs. las lobas playing above the bar. My boyfriend noticed that they were playing acoustic guitar versions of Metallica songs. But, you should go for the food and drink. The caldo del mariscos was savory and went perfectly with my margarita fresca and pisco sour. The drinks were fantastic! The waitstaff was knowledgeable and personable. However, we did not get a "How is everything" nor did we get a refill on water. Given the fact that the place wasn't packed, that is something to consider. Our bill for four people came close to $100, a price point that deserves pretty attentive service in Portland, OR. 3 1/2 stars is my real rating. I just couldn't get this site to accept my half-star.…
Five top table $$$ looking forward to a nice evening. First off the Tuesday Special as advertised on their website was news to the waitress. Sorry no can do. Atmosphere is very well done. WAITRESS REALLY SUCKS. Food was fairly well recieved but way too overspiced for most, could not even begin to get through the soup. Food was fair and mainly not worthy of the prices. WAITRESS IS SO RUDE THAT I BELIEVE SHE ALONE WILL TAKE THIS RESTAURANT DOWN. $36 for two tiny tacos, small soup that should have been sent back, a shared appetizer, two diet colas and split tip. Oh now I get it, this is a tequila bar, the big big bucks and we had none. See ya. Ditch the waitress ASAP.…
Tequila!. So much tequila to choose from, if that's your thing. If you're just a hungry guy that likes tacos, then Tuesday is the best day to eat here. $10 gets you a shot of tequila, 2 tacos, and a PBR tall boy. If you decide to sit down and eat for real, that pork shoulder is out of this world.…
Best Margaritas. Very nice atmosphere, happy servers, great food, best margaritas ever, you have to try, salud!!!!!
Celebration Night: Downhill.
Well, my boyfriend and I went to Trebol to celebrate a great accomplishment: but the experience wasn't so great. Luckily I'm an optimist, but seriously, we call Trebol Trouble now. It is trouble.
For approx $100 worth of food and drinks: the hostess teased us by accidentally seating us in someone else's place, then promptly removing us from the seats with an attitude. We had also never been informed about the outside seating so couldn't figure out why people were getting seated before us...then the table outside (once seated after learning of this) fell onto my boyfriend when he was sitting. This is right after we figured out the waitress had given him a menu holder with no menu...So water fell all over him and no one offered new silverware or drinks: we served ourselves.
The food was ok, but not for the money...and the service ruined it all.
What a waste of time and money! We made the best of it, but we'll be avoiding "Trouble" from now on.…
