Trejo's Tacos

From Hollywood wrap parties to home-cooked memories—Danny brings the flavor.

For Danny, food has always been more than fuel—it’s been the heartbeat of his story. From dreaming up restaurant menus with his mom in the San Fernando Valley to serving post-wrap tacos to Hollywood friends, every bite has a backstory.

Now a rising force in the restaurant world, Danny opens his kitchen to share the bold, fun, and deeply personal recipes that define his unique take on Mexican food through an L.A. lens. Inside, you’ll learn how to:

– Slow-braise pork shoulder with bacon and chiles for next-level carnitas
– Turn Mexi-falafel or spiced fried chicken into crave-worthy tacos
– Master cotija and chile mashed potatoes (pair with brisket—you’re welcome)
– Build versatile meals packed with flavor and style

More than a cookbook, this is a story of grit, growth, and the power of shared meals. With reflections on Danny’s upbringing, life lessons from time behind bars, and a map of his favorite L.A. haunts, Danny’s Kitchen is as real and flavorful as the dishes inside.

Come hungry. Leave inspired.
