Tacos with Danny Trejo (aka "Machete")
What better plan to discover Los Angeles than at Danny Trejo's restaurant? The actor joins the long list of stars who have ventured into the world of restoration . Because right now?
"On my Bad Ass shoot a producer encouraged me to open my own restaurant . The idea didn't bother me, so I got down to business and started working on the project with my agent." Trejo tells us between taco and taco . His restaurant is located on a corner of Mid-Wilshire in Los Angeles _ (1048 S La Brea) _. Just arrived, we find some appetizers to whet your appetite . The typical "chips with sauce" and, of course, a little guacamole to brighten the day . Today is going to be a hot day, very hot. For all the tables we come across signs that warn us: "Spicy goes well with milk."

For every taco we try, add a splash of milk to be able to withstand the highly pungent touch. The "Trejo's Tacos" are spicy... and a lot! What will they carry inside? We are going to be left with the intrigue, because this is what a smiling Danny Trejo answers us: "Right now our recipes include very secret ingredients and right now we are planning to expand the menu options. But I can't give you more details.
The menu satisfies all kinds of visitors, both meat lovers and vegans . Beef Brisket tacos are the most demanded and the tastiest. The vegan option black pepper tofu tacos They leave aside those derived from animals, but they are no less exquisite for that. On this special day we are fortunate to taste a special creation devised by Danny Trejo himself and chef Ramses Walker. Grilled Asada with Nugget Pesto Taco They have baptized him.

Not only does the name help attract the masses to this small Mexican restaurant, but also the sympathy and devotion that fans feel for this nice actor . "I'm very happy with the restaurant. We haven't had any complaints and people really like the food," says Trejo. We respond with the feeling that is breathed in a city like Los Angeles: "Despite playing the typical badass in action movies, people seem to love you a lot." The comment makes the actor blush. "In fact, I like to play a good dad , but in the movies they have to see different facets of you," confesses Trejo.
Milk has managed to put out that fire that has spread from our stomachs to our very lips, but we want to try a homemade drink and we decided on the horchata , one of the best Mexican flavors. At Trejo's Tacos they prepare it fresh, daily, using organic toasted rice, almond milk and cinnamon . A really addictive flavor that invites us to drink several glasses. It is one of the best horchatas we have tasted in the city of stars.
Beef Brisket tacos: the most desired
A sweet taste, which is multiplied by ten with the delicious dessert. If you like ice cream sandwiches, Danny Trejo's Restaurant will not disappoint. "CoolHaus Ice Cream Sandwiches", they call them and they are available in several flavors: vanilla, chocolate chip cookies, mint and hazelnut.
