Our story…

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, we are first generation, Trinidadian-American. We are children of parents from the island of Trinidad and Tobago-home to soca music, one of the best carnivals in the world and to some of the most delicious, eclectic and diverse food in the Caribbean! We grew up loving to indulge in the rich flavors of the islands. When we moved to Long Island, NY over a decade ago, we noticed fairly quickly the minimal exclusively Trinidadian cuisine options in our neighborhood and throughout Long Island. We quickly grew tired of driving cross county, sometimes 30-40 minutes, in traffic, with no guarantee of a place to park, to get the food we were born and raised with.

Excellent, experienced cooks, with a dream to one day open a culinary space of our own, longing for a place nearby with high quality Trinidadian-inspired food, paired with high quality customer service, we decided to start Trini Bites, a Trinidadian-inspired catering service and pop up market vendor! We wanted to go beyond, elevate the culture, and amplify the voice of another Caribbean island, on Long Island…and beyond! The concept of ‘Bites’ came from wanting smaller, healthier portion sizes, in addition to providing smaller versions of some of your beloved Trini treats, perfect for appetizers or for your next cocktail hour. We also include variations and innovations to our menu to set us apart from the rest. We like to say we pack BIG flavor, in small bites!

Our catering options are magical, as we put our own twist on some of the classic Trinidadian food themes, while sticking with traditional ingredients and methods of cooking. Imagine having something a little different for your event and not having to go far to get that Trini flavor! Catering orders can be delivered or picked up in our commercial kitchen, currently conveniently located in Lynbrook, Long Island (Nassau County).

From 2022-2023, we embarked on our first Food Truck season! The FIRST exclusively all Trini Food Truck made its appearance and it was wonderful! We catered (with our truck) at birthday parties, graduation parties, wedding after parties, local universities, festivals and events, just to name a few!

We are also proud Alumni of the Smorgasburg Prospect Park (Brooklyn) Class of 2024, where we served under our flavorful concept, Double(s) or Nothin’! The highly coveted and infamous street food of Trinidad and Tobago made its way to Smorgasburg, the largest outdoor food market in the country, for the FIRST time, courtesy of Trini Bites!

There will be many more chapters to our journey…this is just the beginning! Stay tuned and we hope you enjoy the ride!
