Danny Trejo has appeared in a large number of shows & movies my husband & I love and watch often; I would definitely say he is on our list of favorite actors. A few years ago, when it was announced he was opening up his own taco restaurant, we had agreed if we ever happened to be near one that we wanted to try it out. We like trying out new restaurants & it would be a neat experience to do in general. We recently happened to be right next to one when we went on vacation in California, so we decided to stop by for lunch. We visited the Trejo's Taco location on La Brea Ave in Los Angeles, CA. We were lucky & when we arrived it wasn't during any kind of lunch rush, so we were able to find a parking spot & two open tables to sit at. The location has a small parking lot, so parking is limited.
I like the assortment of dishes they had to offer & that they offered both Dairy-free and Gluten-free options. Between our party of six, we ordered an assortment of tacos + quesadillas along with an order of chips + guacamole. We didn't try any of the drinks though as we already had drinks when we arrived. It didn't take long for our order to be completed & one of the staff members had delivered everything to our table which was nice. The weather was perfect for sitting on the outdoor patio to enjoy our food.
We were all very happy with our food! It was delicious and very filling. I have been wanting to try a beef barbacoa tacos for a while now so when I saw they had a beef barbacoa quesadilla on the menu I had to try it out. I am so glad I did! It was fantastic and the sauce it came with was great as well. As I had mentioned it was very filling the portion, I was given was a pretty decent size which I was happy about given that the quesadilla was almost $15. Depending on the area you live in eating out can always vary price wise so this spot might be a little expensive to some and not that expensive to others. Some of the menu items I found to be fairly priced while others seemed slightly high such as almost $7 for one taco, but they did have a decent amount of meat in each one as you can see below.
Everyone in our party did enjoy their food though! My husband thought the cheese quesadilla my daughter ordered tasted pretty basic, but she was quite pleased with it. The guacamole had a bit of a kick to it, it had small sliced up serrano chilies on it. The nachos my son ordered came with a nice assortment of toppings & was another dish that was a pretty good size. It would be great if they offered the normal nachos shown above & also nachos that came with meat although I am sure you could add some on for an extra charge. If you are someone who likes to buy merch they had a decent sized selection of shirts, cups & more inside of the building. Overall, the outside & indoors was well kept and the staff were attentive checking on guests and even taking away plates once you were done. It was an enjoyable spot that I am glad we were able to check out.

All these sound good. Thanks for sharing these with us, very interesting. I'm hungry now seeing all this.
Finally got to check out Trejo's Tacos, the brainchild of the legendary Danny Trejo! As avid fans of his work in movies and shows, it was a must-try for us. Visiting the La Brea Ave location in Los Angeles during our vacation, we lucked out with parking and snagged a table. The limited parking added a touch of adventure to our culinary experience.
Ahh I love tacos...these look delicious! Sounds like a fantastic spot and I'm sure Cali has some of the best tacos :D
Oh wow, the food there looks amazing. I do love tacos and the like. It sounds like it would be somewhere my family would really enjoy eating at.
The variety of dairy-free and gluten-free options was a game-changer for our party, and the beef barbacoa quesadilla was a total hit
I am hearing about Danny Trejo for the very first time. It may be because I don't ardently follow cinema in general. The food looks super delish though!
It does sound a little pricy, but it's good to know that you liked your food! Thank you for sharing your honest review.
We love tacos. This place looks amazing to try tacos.
