Hollywood's Danny Trejo is bringing his tacos to London

Danny Trejo is bringing his tacos to London 

26/2/24 - updated with the opening date

Exciting news reaches us of the arrival of Hollywood actor Danny Trejo's very own restaurant, Trejo's Tacos, in London. 

If you're thinking that you don't recognise the name - rest assured you've almost certainly seen him in one of his many, many film roles. Some of the most recognisable include From Dusk Till Dawn, Machete, Heat, Desperado and Breaking Bad. He even entered the Star Wars universe, turning up in the recent Boba Fett series with a big old rancor behind him. 

Trejo's Tacos is as it sounds, a taco restaurant that was well received and has done rather good business. The UK menu will feature the signatures from the American version, which include steak asada tacos with pepita pesto (apparently an Anthony Bourdain favourite) alongside shrimp tostados, Baja-style beer-battered fish, blackened salmon, and beef-brisket. We also rather like the sound of the surf and turf burrito (with steak asada and spicy shrimp). 

Trejo has been looking at several potential places, but he's settled on Notting Hill (taking over where Fiend used to be). The restaurant there will seat 70 inside and 30 on the terrace and will have a cocktail bar as well as " an illicit underground speakeasy".  Drinks-wise, expect the Frozen OG Margarita and the Lavender Paloma -that combines tequila with smoky mezcal and fresh lavender.

London's taco scene is much better than it used to be, so it'll be interesting to see how this competes. We note that MEATliquor founder Yianni Papoutsis is advising them on the menu, so it's definitely one to watch. And there should be a star-studded opening party at the very least...
