Trenkaclosques

Trenkaclosques in Castelló de la Plana is a casual, modern Spanish tapas restaurant with $$ pricing, modern décor, a few tables, a spacious bar. Sit at the bar if available: the room is small, the bar is described as the best place to sit. The result feels less like a formal dining room and more like a compact, contemporary tapas spot where the meal moves easily.

The verdict: choose Trenkaclosques for modern tapas in a casual setting, especially when the table wants to share. Its strongest case is the short, tempting menu, bringing Spanish tapas together with more rebellious international flavours. The appeal is not scale or ceremony, but focus: a small room, a concise dish list, a style that encourages everyone to order a few plates and pass them around.

The bar seat is the smarter way to experience the room

The space is small and modern, with a few tables and a larger bar described as the best place to sit. That matters because Trenkaclosques is built around a compact, shareable meal rather than a formal restaurant premise. In a room with limited tables, the bar is not a fallback; it appears central to the restaurant’s feel, giving the meal a looser, more immediate character.

If choosing where to sit, make the bar your first choice when available. Tables remain an option, but the spacious bar carries much of the venue’s character and suits the casual tapas format. It also best matches the energy of a short-menu meal: order, share, keep the focus on variety rather than a long, structured progression.

Order the creative tapas for the table

The menu is modern Spanish tapas with international flavours designed for sharing, so start with the dishes that best show the kitchen’s point of view. Prawn croquettes, patatas bravas with squid ink, teriyaki chicken skewers are the clearest first order. They separate Trenkaclosques from a basic tapas stop: each takes a recognisable tapas idea or bar-food shape and gives it a distinctive angle, which is where the restaurant seems most confident.

Other noted highlights include cannelloni, while cheesecake is the dessert to remember if the table wants a sweet finish. Order across the short menu and treat the meal as a shared sequence. Because the restaurant’s strongest appeal is its compact, tempting selection, do not over-plan around a single plate. Move through a mix of textures and flavours, with familiar dishes balancing the international touches.

The overall appeal is direct: modern décor, casual dress, $$ pricing, a small room, tapas with a playful international edge. Choose it for flexibility, pace, plate variety. It is not positioned for formality; its strength is a relaxed setting where the food gives people a reason to gather without making the meal feel heavy or staged.

Who should book, who should skip it

Book Trenkaclosques for a casual meal built around sharing, especially if modern Spanish tapas and a bar-focused room sound right. It works for diners who want familiar tapas formats with a creative edge, for groups comfortable ordering communally, comparing plates, building the meal through several smaller dishes rather than individual mains.

Skip it if you need fully confirmed details beyond the basics, such as specific dietary accommodations, private dining, or outdoor seating. For Trenkaclosques, the grounded information points to a small, casual, modern tapas venue with a few tables, a spacious bar, a short sharing menu. Go when that intimate, bar-led tapas setup is exactly what you want; look elsewhere when the occasion demands more certainty, more space, or a more conventional restaurant structure.
