Unbeknownst to most, along with appreciating American food truck
cuisine, the French are avid tenpin bowlers. A "Brooklyn" is a strike
made by hitting the opposite side of the normal pocket. "Tres
Brooklyn" would mean to roll three such strikes in a row.

It means "very."

"Trois" is the French word for three.

I beg to differ:

The American version of the famous French folk song, "Wooly Bully" (Le
petit dur poilu) clearly begins "Uno, dos, tres, quatro."
