Trejo's Tacos - La Brea Ave

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.

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.

The store was clean and the staff was friendly. The burrito I got was massive and full of meat and flavor. I think the only reason I am eating it only a 4 is because I think I would of liked it to have sour cream. Such a basic small thing and is entirely my own personal preference but I feel it would have been perfect if it had some.

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.

We’re big fans of Danny Trejo, so when we visited LA, we knew we had to try one of his restaurants.

This isn’t your typical greasy taqueria. The food tasted noticeably lighter and healthier. We ordered the Baja fish tacos, a steak asada burrito, street corn, and horchata. Everything tasted good overall, though it felt like it needed just a bit more seasoning to really shine. I found myself adding a little salt or mixing in avocado from the chips or street corn to bring the flavors together.

The staff was friendly and helpful, answering our questions without issue. My only real disappointment was the limited selection of Danny Trejo merchandise. I was hoping for a t-shirt, but they only had long sleeves available, so I ended up grabbing a mug instead.

All in all, we’re glad we gave it a try and would definitely visit again on our next trip to LA!

Amazing tacos and the flavors are great.

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.

Everything was just average, the carne asada burrito had greese seeping from the back end and for how little meat in the burrito (it was mostly grease soaked rice) there should not have been any greese coming out of it at all. We live in Las Vegas, went for a short trip to Ventura and drove over an hour just to try this establishment. Unfortunately it made my don't go back there list. The outdoor seating is nice, but the parking is almost non existent in the 3 car lot.

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.

We were at Farmers Market and decided to try it the service was horrible the man at the counter was rude and acted like we were bothering him when we wanted to order. He was on his phone the whole time and we sat and ate and he was on the phone the whole time. I felt the food was a little over priced as well,
