Trimana

Little caffe located in large building. Created mostly for the people who work there to get lunch and coffee and snacks, etc… Pretty large variety of choices tho given that it is connected to Trimana and serves some of the sandwiches on their menu. Great choice for a restaurant in a huge office building tho! The employees are definitely satisfied customers!

If you don’t have time to leave the building, then I suppose this place is passable.
There is no gas, no fire, no grill, no griddle. There are hot plates and panini presses only.
Look, I’m not a complete food snob (I kinda am), but this place should be considered a last choice option because you just don’t have time to leave the building.
If you were thinking of coming to 8383 Wilshire just to try this place, please keep on going. There are so many awesome places on La Cienega and 3^rd and Beverly Blvd. Don’t waste you time here.
You probably won’t get food poisoning and they keep it pretty clean and the workers there are SUPER nice. That’s why they got a 2 star.
I wish I could say I found them on Unilocal,but no, I found them because I am often in the building.
The prices seem fair, yet not a super value either.
Bottom line: if you just need sustenance and don’t have many taste buds, have at it. If you enjoy the fun food can bring to your day, find somewhere else.

This is not my favorite Trimana location. Their salad specials are about $ 12 and the ingredients are poor quality. The staff doesn’t seem too geared towards accommodating special requests, unlike other Trimana and Taco Limon locations.
There are better options around here!!!

If I could give this place zero stars I would! I just started working in this building and I was looking forward to the food they had to offer. Unfortunately I have yet to have a good experience… The food is always dry and bland! It is tasteless and the worst part it is over priced! They only stay in business because people are to lazy to walk and order food somewhere else. I have tried the Mexican plates, soups and sandwiches. I refuse to come in unless I am buying a soda. Even the refreshments are over priced and the staff is not friendly.

Trimana is a great business on-​the-​go diner. You can get just about anything, they’ve always got so much variety. And if it’s not on the menu, they’ll make it for you as long as they have the ingredients. Peanut Butter, Spinach and avocado sandwich? No problem. Custom quesadilla, no problem.
The prices are fairly reasonable, and the quality is that of any mom and pop diner. This location, on the street-​level of 8383 Wilshire is tucked in the back and small, but does the chain proud, nonetheless.

I like other Trimanas but this one SUCKS!!! HORRIBLE and OVER-​PRICED FOOD! Bad quality ingredients. If you are trying to eat healthy or low carbs stay away from this place or be ready for tasteless and boring food. This location does not have a grill so if you want something hot stick to the unhealthy (can) soups, or microwaved «dishes».

had the breakfast burrito it was just okay much smaller than other Trimanas I’ve been to before. what a disappointment

Good prices, great food, friendly staff! My go to place in the morning for breakfast. Bacon and eggs!

This place is the worst. There are two Trimana’s along Wilshire, this is the one at 8383 Wilshire Blvd. I went downstairs to get a fountain drink on 5÷13÷14 and I was charged $ 2.79…I asked how much the 20 oz. bottle was, the cashier said $ 2.25. I said I’ll have the bottle instead but the cashier said it was too late, he already rung up the order. WTF?
This place doesn’t have burgers unlike some of the reviews mention. They have deli sandwiches and pre-​made soup from a bag. There is no kitchen for prepping as far as I know. Looks like everything comes out of a microwave. The line always move sooo slowly and the cashiers are unfriendly. A salad and a drink will run around $ 13. It’s so overpriced but I guess they get away with it as there’s not a lot of options in the neighborhood.
I give this place one star for being a big fat rip off. My advice would be to go instead to the subway on La Cienega… and I don’t even care for Subway.

Burgers are mediocre if you get the right one, but the curly fries are great with the massive arrange of sauces. What can I say I’m a sauce boss.

Salads and sandmiches are cool. I always get the Chinese chicken salad but I’ll grab a sandmich sometimes. Lol
The fellas are nice too!

Usually my last resort. They have 3 options that I usually really enjoy — BLATT wrap (BLT wrap with turkey and avocado), tuna wrap, and the citrus avocado salad. That being said, the troll behind the register turns me off each time. She has a nasty look on her face at all times, often talks on the phone while accepting orders, and doesn’t practice safe hygiene (e.g. coughs on her hand, uses same hand to give you receipt and pen).
It also pisses me off that when you use a card, the receipt has a gratuity line and troll lady seems to watch like a hawk as you fill in «$ 0».

Overpriced food, because of the area. Food is okay. They have decent selection. Parking sucks. Other than that, it’s pretty generic to me.

This place is a joke. Sure, Trimana is there to appease to the businessman who is on the go and needs to grab a sandwich and a drink and go.
For one, the cashiers can be a little more friendly. They don’t need to be waving their fingers, gesturing to hurry up and give them the money; especially if there is no one in line behind you. Second, don’t throw my receipt on the counter if I don’t take it in 2 seconds. A little customer service and a SMILE would go a long way. I’m sure you don’t want to be there, but you should appreciate everyone that comes in to buy from you.
I’m glad to say that I won’t be back and I will gladly walk to another building to get something to drink or a snack.

2.5 stars
my building is terribly lacking quality lunch time eateries within walking distance. sure, I could walk to lawrys or the stinking rose every day, but who do you think I am… milburn pennybags?!?
so when I don’t bring lunch from home, the closest and most convenient food establishment is this trimana. I wish it wasn’t. this place is mediocre at best. here are the three main reasons why:
1) expensive for what you get. turkey sandwich (which is on regular sliced bread) with a scoop of potato salad and a pickle spear? $ 8
2) no stoves or skillets. they heat all their food in microwaves.
3) the food isn’t all that tasty. I’m never excited to go there and I’ve never had anything there that I’ve loved.
If the owner or any of trimana’s employees are reading this, I’m kidding. this whole review is a gag. please don’t sneeze on my next order the next time I’m there.

After living close by for over a year, I finally got around to trying this Trimana. Finally a really decent burger and fries for under $ 10 and I loved the fact that they have a burger and fry sauce bar. They may even have the very best fries that I have ever had. Major crispy goodness. Cutest little girl behind the counter who seems to genuinely care about her job. I do hate that parking lot though and some of the element that hangs out around there can be a little scary at night, but It’s definitely worth braving the parking lot again to get more of those fries.

Burgers sandwiches. suck… bad… like you want to die if you are to finish it. Why is it so hard to make a decent burger. It was flat, dry and bland, kinda like like mel gibson’s career. Why would anyone ever want to torture themselves with such horrific food when Big Mac is so much more pleasurable on the palate.
But the Fries… ahhh… the Fries. One of your better fries, most likely purchased at the Restaurant Depot, fried to the perfect crispyness. I am a huge believer of fries and I would definitely come back just for the fries. The sauce bar is an amusing concept with about 6 different kinds of sauces, from ketchup to garlic aioli… not bad but not that great either. Fries… only if umami can work on their fries… sigh…

The people in my office go here nearly every day (I bring my lunch from home), and like it.
I don’t know what their hours are (I couldn’t find them ANYWHERE), but I tried to pop in for a snack a few minutes ago since I’m working late and the blood. sugar. is. crashing. 5:08pm and the place was closed. Are they open for lunch only? I don’t know, because I couldn’t find their hours.

You know what? 5 stars. Flash forward several months, and this place is just wonderful! I don’t know what it is about their food, but it’s just delicious and the price is right too. I’m obsessed with their Chinese Chicken Salad and have ordered one for dinner the past 3 nights.
Every time I go in there, it’s been the same lady working the counter and the same guy cooking in the back. They’re both so sweet! I called last night at 8:56 (they close at 9:00) and they stayed open long enough to make my salad, and cook my friend’s burger and fries (he loves their food as well — and he’s a very picky eater.)
I’m craving that salad right now… I know what’s for dinner tonight — thats for damn sure!

The worst burgers in the area. The culprit? Bad quality, frozen meat!
Let me be perfectly clear, I would rather go to the MacDonald’s!
