Being from Chicagoland, I was curious about this place if it was hype or legit good food. I’m a Danny Trejo fan, so this place was a destination for me. What I can tell you is the food was outstanding. I had the two taco dinner and ordered the beef barbacoa and mushroom asada. While the beef barbacoa was a signature item (had Danny’s face next to it ), the mushroom asada blew me away. I can’t remember ever seeing mushrooms on a taco menu, so I had to try. Absolutely phenomenal. The beans and rice that came with the meal were good, but nothing overly special. Salsas were also good but not necessarily as memorable as the tacos. Another pleasant surprise was the beer. I had the Trejo’s Cerveca, which is a Mexican style lager. It was similar to Corona and the perfect compliment to the tacos. Get it. Loved the food here. Next time I’m in LA I’ll be back. 4 stars for service/atmosphere but not a complaint, just tough to get 5 stars on such a busy, noisy street when most of the seating is outside. Great place, great food. Go, you won’t be disappointed.

Finally tried LA tacos here. I got the 3 vegan taco options, mushroom, jackfruit, and cauliflower. I enjoyed all 3 but the jackfruit was my favorite. It was a flavor bomb . They all had a unique flavor. I would highly recommend tr try one the trio. I also got a side of beans. They were “ok”, not tender or tasty enough for my preferences but I did finish them all.

Definitely a great place to eat different flavor tacos. I ordered the 2 taco combo plate which i pucked the chicken tinga taco and the mushroom asada taco. Both were very good! I even ordered the jackfruit taco. That one you definitely have to eat it right away or it can get soggy quick. Bit it was worth it. Their frozen margarita sure has a kick! Lol
Their beans were pretty good. I liked tue combination of the pinto and black beans together. The rice did taste a bit on the dry side to me but to each their own. Overall the experience was awesome! Definitely worth a visit.

Good food but small portions and pricy. Guy behind the counter was zombi-ish and didn’t get my order right. Place looks really good and clean but the surroundings need to be shut out at least.

I was expecting a Mexican restaurant but got something worst than a taco bell. The cashier was terrible and wanted to charge $4 for adding cheese to a taco. No Mexican music playing. Not a Mexican restaurant. Over priced food small portions. Tea has no refills. Water has lemon in it. No lemonade what Mexican restaurant doesn’t have lemonade. $7 a piece tacos.

Food was way over priced, one of the things we ordered was the two chicken taquitos for $10. It didn’t taste bad but was not at all anything like taquitos I have ever ordered from a restaurant. The presentation was terrible, no sauce beyond the chipotle sauce cup and avocado sauce cup, and there was no cotija as described in the menu. The two spicy shrimp tacos were tiny and cost $13. The “plain fried chicken taco was basically a few chunks of deep fried chick on a single lettuce leaf. The only thing anywhere near acceptable was the burrito but that is a stretch. Just overall super disappointing given the number of reviews it received.

I drove from Bakersfield to Los Angeles to try this place because of all the hype, and it was honestly a big disappointment.
The menu advertises a 2-taco combo plate for $17, but that price is misleading. When I ordered, the cashier explained that with the combo you can pick any meat from the meat section. At no point was it explained that there would be additional charges depending on which protein you choose. There was no clear disclosure that certain meats would cost extra on top of the $17 combo price.
After ordering, we were charged additional fees per taco: carne asada was $1.50 extra, blackened salmon was $1.50 extra, and Baja fish was $1.00 extra. Once those charges are added, the combo is not actually $17, which feels misleading given how it was explained at the register.
My boyfriend and I both ordered the same 2-taco combo plates. We also each ordered a horchata, which was $5.50 for a very small cup — about the size of, or smaller than, a Starbucks grande. Refills were not free and cost $3 extra. Our total came out to $55.44, which is shocking for two taco plates and drinks.
The food itself didn’t justify the price. The rice and beans were served in a tiny silver cup and were hard, like they had been sitting too long. The plate came with a few paper-thin radish slices you could almost see through, and two dried-out lime slices. Overall, the sides and presentation felt like end-of-the-day leftovers rather than a freshly prepared meal.
The carne asada taco was especially disappointing. The pieces of meat were very small and somewhat hard, and we could barely taste the meat itself. Most of what we tasted was the cabbage and dressing on top, which completely overpowered the taco. For an extra charge, I expected the meat to actually stand out, but it didn’t.
The space is also very small, with very limited seating. Most of the seating is outside, and it didn’t feel “upscale” like it’s portrayed online. For the price, I could have gotten much better tacos from a taco truck, with better flavor, better sides, and a larger horchata for less money.
Overall, this place feels way overpriced, and the lack of clear communication about extra charges made the experience even more disappointing. I wanted to like it, but I wouldn’t come back.

I was blown away at the flavors at Trejo’s Tacos!! Honestly almost shed a tear when I had the Barbacoa Burrito! Haven’t tasted that kind of shredded meat since my mom died! It brought me back to my childhood in my mom’s kitchen!! OMG so good.
Came back the next day (today, Taco Tuesday) and had the Fried Fish taco and the Barbacoa taco!!! Threw in a quesadilla as well and topped it off with a Trejo Cerveza!! YOLO baby!!!

We were out early so we beat the crowd. Nice tables outside, good music playing. Delicious food! Read his book, so I had to visit. Didn’t get a picture of our bowls… ate them too fast.

Delicious. Got the Carnitas, Carne Asada and Fish tacos. Absolutely wonderful. Large size tacos, reasonable prices. I hear Danny Trejo comes by occasionally.
