Trejo has starred in movies including "Machete," "Heat," and "From Dusk Till Dawn," and has referred to tacos as the perfect meal and also has a new cookbook "Trejo's Tacos: Recipes and Stories from L.A."
"The taco is so versatile. You can do anything with a taco, except don't put ketchup on it. You can put carnitas. You can put carne asada, avocado, anything," Trejo told KCRW in 2020.
Trejo's Tacos is located at 316 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica.
