El Trocadero Kitchen & Bar

Dismaying and disgraceful dining experience and to Mexican Cuisine for an assortment of reasons: - Food was overpriced, mediocre quality, funky taste and unprecedented consistency issues across multiple dishes. - Extra food menu items were insanely priced (additional tacos by themselves - $8 for a mini tortilla sized taco) - Business operating within a fine line of questionable ethics and parameters in accordance with revised California Law SB-478 regarding automatic gratuity for establishments.
They attempted to charge us predetermined tips even when we were separate parties too. - Bold claims on their menus stating additional corkage/cake cutting fees! This isn’t a fine dining restaurant folks. - Unbalanced/unlevel tables - 1 refill per mediocre fountain drinks - glasses were smaller than liquor glasses. Overall disappointing dining experience and disgrace to Mexican Cuisine - we won’t be back!

The quality and pricing of the food, $30 for a small piece of carne, a depressing chile relleno, “enchilada” de queso, beans and rice.
Don’t waste your money here, the quality of the food was not great, the beans lacked flavor and tasted like canned beans you buy at the store.
The drinks were mediocre at best and not worth the $15 price tag on it.
I figured I would come and check this place out because of the heavy advertising WhatsUpSCV does on IG and it was yet another disappointment.
The place has potential to be better but it NEEDS to change.
To anybody thinking of coming here, you’re better off going to La Cocina or any other chain restaurant out in Santa Clarita.
Won’t be coming back here in the future.
I’ve had street food that tastes better than this at half the cost.

We hit El Trocadero at least once a week! We drive 30 min from Angeles Forest Hwy and worth every minute. Paule, Itzel and Liz are so very friendly and welcoming.
Chef makes the best steak, whether it’s skirt or rib eye with chimi churi it’s always delicious.
Imported Sonoran tortillas upon request are amazing.
Great drinks.
The Mar Y Tierra is one of my wife’s favorite dishes.
Highly recommend this gem.
