Let’s Talk About Trejo’s Tacos
Now, who is this taco restaurant that Del Taco is teaming up with? In case you don’t know, Trejo’s Tacos was founded by actor Danny Trejo in 2016. They’ve been serving Mexican food such as tacos, burritos, and quesadillas at four of their restaurant locations in Los Angeles.
The community has been the core of Trejo’s Tacos, and knowing that Los Angeles has a vibrant Mexican food scene, they didn’t want to compete, so they just looked for their own style. What they did was they took authentic traditional ingredients and brought influences from other cuisines. Trejo’s Tacos has been experimenting with flavors and it’s visible from their menu offerings, such as Spicy Shrimp Taco, Young Jackfruit Taco, and Mushroom Asada Taco.
Experimentation has brought Trejo’s Tacos to Del Taco’s door. This collaboration with Del Taco is expanding their reach even to Del Taco guests who would surely love their food. This is a genius move played by Trejo’s Tacos, which currently has four restaurants only. The Roasted Pork Al Pastor menu has been released nationwide, and more people can now head over to Trejo’s restaurant to try the Mexican food they offer.
