At Trejo’s Tacos every Tuesday is taco Tuesday, meaning ALL the tacos on the menu are half price from 12pm – 5pm.

 

There are eight different mouth-watering tacos on the menu, including vegan options.

 

The menu offers tacos with the most different fillings, making sure everyone finds their favourite. Want to try Danny’s favourites? Spot Danny’s smiling face printed next to his favourite tacos.

 

The tacos are not too big, but generously filled with spicy shrimp, battered fish, chicken, cauliflower, mushroom and vegetables, depending on which one you order.

We ordered the vegan mushroom asada and the chicken tikka tacos.

 

The vegan mushroom asada was filled with the most delicious eared mushrooms (juicy and flavourful), salsa Verde slaw, pepita pesto and citrus soy marinade.

 

The chicken tikka taco was filled with big chunks of chicken tikka, Spanish rice, onions, Jalapeños and mint raita.

 

Both were fresh and burst of flavour and beautifully presented (compliment to the kitchen!), and the best part was, they were half price, meaning, each costed £3 only!

 

We also ordered the grilled chicken taco (grilled chicken, chipotle slaw, pico de gallo, chipotle crema & lettuce) and one of Danny’s favourites, steak asada (seared asada steak, citrus soy steak sauce, Verde slaw & pepita pesto) for takeaway.

 

As the portions are not too big, you might find yourself wanting to order more. But, hey it’s Taco Tuesday! So, you can double the satisfaction without breaking the bank.

 

The Drinks

The drinks menu is divided into Margaritas, cocktails, Non-alcoholic cocktails, and other drinks, including wine, beer, shots and soft drinks.

 

We tried the Watermelon Picante cocktail and the Cucumber Cilantro Margarita. Both were low-alcoholic and very refreshing. Perfect for the Summer heatwave.

 

The Watermelon Picante was served with a slice of fresh juicy watermelon with a Jalapeño-infused rim. The Jalapeno had a surprising taste paired with the watermelon, but I ended up loving it.

 

The Cucumber Cilantro Margarita was very refreshing, and it was served with a thin slice of cucumber curled on the rim of the glass decorated with a cute little wooden cactus.

 

Happy Hour: Tuesday – Friday: 4pm – 6:30pm ALL Margaritas are £7

 

The Atmosphere

The interior is sophisticated and quirky at the same time. There are giant cacti and succulents all over the restaurant creating that Mexican vibe we all love.

 

A few more murals have been added inside and outside since our first visit.

A giant black-and-white portrait of Danny Trejo covers the whole building on the outside. This giant looks particularly good when viewed from the other side of the street.

 

On entering, there is a small waiting area with a cosy coach with a new mural featuring Danny. (this one is badass!)

 

On the left there is the bar area, serving Margaritas and all the delicious cocktails and drinks, Trejo’s Tacos offers, including Trejo’s Cerveza beer.

Inside, there is the main seating area with cosy seats and cushions decorated in Mexican style.

 

Here there are more murals, each one from Danny’s famous movies. Perfect backdrop for a selfie or for your food and drink.

 

The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re not familiar with Mexican food or never tried taco before, they’re more than happy to give you some recommendations. I even had a lovely chat about Danny’s movies with the bartender. (shoutout for David!)

Oh, did I mention that now merchandise is also available on the spot? Trejo’s Tacos tee, baseball hat, keychain and more are all up for grabs. Simply ask a member of staff.

 

Trejo’s Taco has brought some Mexican vibes to the always busy Portobello Road. Following the Mexican tradition that family recipes are passed from generation to generation, Trejo’s Tacos is using the Trejo family’s secret recipes.

 

If you’re lucky, you might even have a chance to meet Danny Trejo himself. He visited the restaurant and met his fans this April. Hopefully, we’ll see him again soon.
