Throughout Danny’s life, sharing good food has always been essentialโwhether it was home-cooked meals made by his mom while imagining the menu for their dream restaurant or whipping up post-wrap celebratory tacos for his Hollywood friends. Now, with his own restaurant empire growing, Danny shares his favorite recipes for bold, fun and versatile Mexican food by way of L.A. You’ll come away with the know-how and skills for cooking slow-braised pork shoulder with bacon and chiles for unbelievably flavorful carnitas, turning spiced fried chicken or Mexi-falafel into tacos and burritos and how to make cotija and chile mashed potatoes that will impress all your friends (especially when served with brisket!). The book also includes stories about Danny’s lifelong love of food, from the meals his mom made when he was growing up in the San Fernando Valley to a map of his favorite restaurants and hangouts in Los Angeles, how his time in prison led to his acting career and opening a restaurant and his journey of becoming an AA/NA counselor. Like Danny’s restaurants, Trejo’s Tacos is generous, hospitable and symbolic of L.A.’s vibrant Latino culture.
