Danny Trejo's Taco Shop Expected To Expand To Silver Lake And Hollywood

Less than two months after opening up a taco shop on La Brea, Danny Trejo is already plotting to open up two more locations and all we can say is bring it on. Word on the street is that the Trejo's Tacos team is looking to open a second location in Hollywood sometime in the very near future with a third one planned for Silver Lake, according to Eater LA. So, if you haven't yet had a chance to catch our favorite machete-wielding actor's beef brisket tacos or deliciously-addictive street corn, you'll soon have plenty more opportunities.
The Hollywood location is set to take over the space that once housed gastropub District 13 at the corner of Cahuenga Blvd. and Selma Ave. According to Eater, the spot is already hiring and should have a beer and wine license when it opens, so you can enjoy a cold brew with your tacos in addition to the horchata and frescas available at the first location.
Trejo's Silver Lake spot is expected to take over the recently closed Romero's Chicken N Donuts on Virgil Ave. just down the street from Sqirl. But there still doesn't seem to be an official word on that location yet, so, we'll just have to wait and see.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
