/Sounds like "TREHS" (as in "tread") + "LEH" (as in "let") + "chehs" (as in "check")/

Meaning

Examples

I can eat an entire tres leches by myself, no shame.

Regional synonyms

To eat extremely well, with great quality and abundance, like royalty with nothing missing from the plate. The ultimate compliment for a meal that leaves you completely full and spoiled. Used across Latin America and Spain whenever a meal genuinely exceeds expectations.
