TERRIBLE FOOD

by LMTMPLS at Citysearch

Minneapolis has some fantastic restaurants...this is NOT one of them. I wouldn't even go so far as to say that their food is decent.

I've tried several items on the menu....I give up..Today I ordered a reuben and calamari for delivery. It was terrible and over priced. $30 with the tip - and the corned beef wasn't even edible. That was their last chance. Their crab cakes are especially bad...very greasy.

Do yourself a favor, save your money and try another restaurant.

Good place gone bad

by Startribdude at Citysearch

I used to be a real big Trocaderos fan. I’ve been going there for a little more than a year and a half. I enjoyed the cheap lunch buffet. I got to know a few of the managers. They would always make a point say hi and see how I was doing, occasionally even gave me some show tickets. I brought my family to a show and I felt really important because they knew me by first name. I even had a small party in the boardroom. The only manager that talks to me now, just rambles about nonsense and doesn’t even seem to be interested in talking to me per say, he just seems to want to talk constantly. I’ve found it to be strange and intrusive while trying to eat. He has even argued with me a bit if I have any suggestions. Final straw happened recently when I had a problem with a credit card there, and the woman I talked to on the phone was rude and just downright disrespectful, acting as if I was trying to get something free when all I was doing was asking questions. So long lunch buffet, my cardiologist will miss you.

• Pros: cheap lunch
• Cons: rude/weird people

Nice place to have in the area

by jandy35 at Citysearch

We have been getting take out and delivery from Trocaderos for several months now. The food has been good which is why we keep calling. A group of friends got together at Trocaderos for some food and drinks. Our group had a good time and stayed later than we were planning. The server was very nice and kept checking in on our group. We like what Trocaderos has to offer.

• Pros: good food, fast service, nice employees
• Cons: not open 24/7

Trocaderos has my vote!

by AndreaM5529 at Citysearch

My husband and I brought our kids to see our son play with his band at Trocaderos. Trocaderos was easy for us to find and parking was convenient. We arrived early to listen to other groups and get some food. The staff we talked to was pleasant and the food was very good. It was fun to watch the music so close. We really had a good time and watching our son do well was the best part. We enjoyed our evening so much, we are planning on having a party for our parents at Trocaderos.

• Pros: fun place, easy to get in and out, good food
