Trejo's Tacos: Recipes and Stories from L.A.: A Cookbook

Danny Trejo used to joke with his mother that they should open a restaurant long before he became a Hollywood star. After a few arrests, a couple of boxing championships, and over 300 films, Hollywood's favorite bad guy did exactly that with Trejo's Tacos. His unlikely path from ex-con to actor to Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous counselor to successful restaurateur is a true rags-to-riches tale.

Trejo's Tacos not only shares 75 recipes for cantina favorites like succulent carnitas, vegan cauliflower tacos, and pillowy-sweet cinnamon-sugar lowrider donuts, but also offers insights into his life and pays tribute to his hometown, roots, and all of the colorful characters who helped him along the way, creating a delicious tribute to Los Angeles and the city's vibrant Latino culture.
