When I noticed how busy this place was the only thing I was able to think was... let's stop by tonight. Ordered croquetas because everyone kept saying they are the best croquetas they have ever had (including my brother in law who is from Valladolid) We ordered some tapas and cañas and had the time of our life's. Tip: those croquetas are really the absolute best I ever had. MARVELOUS!

We've had two appetizers and 3 mains and 3 drinks (one beer and two bottles water) and yet the total dinner price came out to be $86 euros. And they were supper good. I need to mention that the grilled squid was so tender and salted just right. The bread was fresh and warmed. I just found out that this is a small chain so wishing them success and have them open more stores in the future. Casual friendly service was a good fit for this place.

We started with jamon croquettes which were delicious. There were six individuals ball-shaped croquettes. The cheese and ham on the inside form a light texture. We shared chicken fingers. The seasoning is unique. It came lightly crumbed, and cut into small pieces with a creamy dipping sauce. They tasted great- not overly fried. I ordered huevos rancheros. I'm accustomed to Mexican-style huevos rancheros. These, served in a small iron skillet, have a flavor of their own. The ranchero sauce is tomato based- added lightly on top of the huevos. The potatoes are more like french fries. Very good. For dessert, I had chocolate and churros which I definitely recommend.

I particularly enjoyed the Trigretoston--an inventive twist that was both delicious and fun to eat. The Breadbag was another standout, combining calamares bravos and salsa de ajo picante in a way that was both surprising and satisfying. The atmosphere is lively, making it a great place to enjoy a casual meal with friends. If you're in Valladolid, don't miss out on this gem for some unique and tasty bites!

This area with white linen table cloths seems more private with limited seating. It felt very exclusive. We ordered their traditionally prepared cuchinillo, grilled vege platter, tiramisu with toffee, coffee ice cream with amaretto jelly and the traditional layered cake with vanilla cream and ice cream, capuccino and a glass of red wine. The service was impeccably attentive. When it was time to cut the roast pig, the owner, Jose Maria appeared. We were gathered around to watch him deftly cut the pig with a plate into several servings. The cuchinillo was perfectly seasoned. The skin was thin and crispy and the flesh was moist and melt in your mouth tender. Everything we ordered was delicious! Later on, Jose Maria came to our table for a short chat and to indulge us with a few picture with him. This was a really special experience.

One of the best dining experiences I've had in Spain (or the world, for that matter). This small,…read moreelegant restaurant is tucked away on a quiet side street in Valladolid. If you were not looking for it, you might pass it by completely. The interior is equally unassuming, with simple, modern (yet comfortable!) decor, a warm palette of golds and browns and gentle ambient lighting. The most dramatic decor element is provided by individually vased tufts of moss placed at the corner of each table. When we were there (around 9:30 PM on a Thursday), the restaurant was nearly empty. In other places this might make for a slightly awkward or isolated dining experience, but at Trigo it felt exclusive and pampering. Trigo's menu evolves with the season and their winter selections were outstanding--from the orange-pumpkin starter to the amazing mushroom and truffle pasta (my favorite course!), to the entrees (I tried the rabbit, which was tender and hearty and not at all gamey), and even the wine (a clean Ribeiro from Galicia). The service was also excellent and very friendly and after our dinner we stayed to chat with the chef and his wife for a few minutes. Dining at Trigo was the highlight of our trip to Valladolid and I am very tempted to return just to experience Trigo one. more. time.
