Downtown Trini's and Margarita Joe’s — Restaurant in Sparta Township

Oh Trini's. Your food is AMAZING! I will absolutely give you that. I honestly fell in love the first time I ate here 5 years ago.

However, my low rating is for the fact that you do not provide any adequate space to change a child and you do not respond to people when they reach out through your "contact us" section of your website.

I have a special needs son who when we visited for my birthday dinner in February was only 10 months at the time. It was a busy afternoon, the wait was 45min (which there really is no waiting space when your restaurant is busy). Of course my son ended up needing to be changed during our meal. My husband went to check to see if you had a changing table in the men's restroom - you do not (it's 2022 - I ask that you get with the times here). So here it is, left on the woman to change the baby. I go to the women's restroom and to my complete shock you don't have a changing table in there either (I'm absolutely astonished at this point). You provide a tiny bench as a waiting spot in the women's restroom. This bench is below knee hight on an average height woman. It is also right at the door to the restroom. This is where I'm left to try to change my son because I will not change him on a bathroom floor (GROSS!). This is such an unsafe option as I am having to try to keep a baby from rolling off a bench while trying to get the supplies I need to change him. I also have back issues from a car accident, so the hunched position I was in to complete this task was absolutely excruciating. I had back spasms for hours after this.

That night (2/19) I reached out through your "contact us" section of your website and asked for a call to discuss this matter. I wanted to bring it to your attention because even our waitress told us she never noticed the lack of changing table until the time she brought her family in to eat. Here it is, 3 weeks later and you have yet to reach out.

As a business and "family" restaurant I cannot believe that there is not a single changing table in...

Ive made better food after eating taco bell. Pro's: didnt waste much time setting the tone. Cons. "Would you like a chips and salsa appetizer?" They dont tell you theres a $3 charge... then...

Chips are cheap... nothing authentic about them. Stale and salsa probably comes from gordans food, ya know the kind in the big jug

Margarita... oh boy... the best i can say is, i have had worse.. but only from a can or premix all in one. However 1 sip was all I needed to know, i didnt need a second When chips and salsa weren't enough we asked for some queso. Velveta and some not so tasty chorizo.. probably the stuff in a tube. Couple bites of that was enough Ordered the big nasty... well, a name that suites the contents. Waffle fries soggy Hotdog bun rubbery like the dog that was either microwaved or boiled to the texture of a tire... My not picky child wouldnt eat it Catsup was definitely not name brand ... Enchiladas ... soggy sloppy and chunky Perhaps that would be a better name for this establishment.

Now I'll be honest I didn't say anything to the manager I didn't even complain because there was nothing you could do to fix this train wreck it was a hot mess that you couldn't make better.

Our waitress wasnt bad. Nothing to brag about but she was timely. Nice. She did take the Margarita off our bill without even a prompt. I dont blame the service on the experience.

The most bewildering thing for me is $53 and an hour drive for a 4.7 star resteraunt and I just cannot fathom how anyone voted this to this status.

Please... save your time. And tastebuds... run for the border go to Taco bell. You can thank me in the comments.

The only satisfaction i got was in this long...

Someplaces are labeled as hidden gems. This place could definitely have that title applied to them, but for one thing. They are hidden by choice. You drive into Sparta and drive by a run down building with no visible sign. Thankfully GPS will lead you right to the place However you park in the back and there is a sign. A very faded sign that doesn't proclaim Trini's. No it proclaims DTMJ, huh sounds like a dentist or something. State your name loud and clear Trini's! Anyways inside is much better. With a very colorful vibe. Very fun atmosphere.

I ordered the Big Nasty. It was a very large wet burrito with steak, chicken, and Taco meat. It was 2 full meals and one of the best wet burritos I've ever had. My Aunt got a chicken wet burrito and it too was large and stated to be excellent. My only issue with the food was when we were seated they asked if we wanted chips and salsa but never stated that would be $3.

The service started very badly with us waiting over 10 minutes even though half the table were available to be seated. However after that it was above average.

Overall I'd live to give them 5 stars for a wonderful wet burrito. However I can't. Purposely hiding yourself in a rundown looking building can't be rewarded in my book. So 4 stars is my rating. Would I return?...
