Hollywood's baddest good guy shares 75 recipes that make Trejo's Tacos the Los Angeles go-to for award-winning tacos, donuts, and more. Long before he was a Hollywood star, Danny Trejo used to joke with his mom that they should open a restaurant. A few arrests, a couple boxing championships, and more than 300 movies later, Hollywood's favorite bad guy did just that with Trejo's Tacos. His unexpected journey from ex-con to actor to Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous counselor to successful restaurateur is a true rags-to-riches story. Now, in Trejo's Tacos, Trejo not only shares 75 recipes for cantina favorites like succulent carnitas, cauliflower tacos, and pillowy-sweet cinnamon-sugar lowrider donuts, but offers insights into his life and pays respect to his hometown, his roots, and all of the colorful characters who helped him along the way, creating a delicious tribute to L. A. and the city's vibrant Latino culture.

Now every day is Trejo's Tacos day!

I bought this figuring it would be a fun read. I no longer eat meat or dairy and figured I wouldn't be able to make much without adjusting the recipes. What a pleasant surprise to find several vegan recipes in the mix. I almost immediately started cooking from it. I especially like that it includes recipes that haven't made the cut at the restaurant but that Danny and staff still believe in. Case in point: brown rice. It's one of the first things I made and it's phenomenal! Don't let the title fool you- it's so much more than tacos. The El Jefe Salad alone is worth the purchase. And as suspected, it's a great read!
