Trejo's Tacos to launch in the UK
The Mexican restaurant chain Trejo’s Tacos, run by actor Danny Trejo, will launch in the UK, with its first site opening up in Notting Hill’s Portobello Road in London later this year. The new restaurant will only be the first of a planned Europe-wide rollout.
The London location is spearheaded by restaurateur Jerome Armit and film producer and financier Sean O’Kelly. With 3,000 sq’ ft of space, the two-storey restaurant will be able to host 70 covers indoors, and 30 outside on its terrace.
Offering breakfast tacos in the morning and a second bar with a DJ for after dinner guests in the late evening, the restaurant will use fresh, clean and sustainably sourced ingredients and offer dishes catering to a range of diets, including gluten free, celiac friendly, vegan, paleo and pescetarian dishes.
“When we launched Trejo’s Tacos in LA, our aim was to serve a better version of Mexican food that won’t clog your arteries,” said Trejo himself.
“In Mexican cooking, recipes are handed down through generations, and that’s what inspired this whole concept: generations of my family’s recipes. We’ve taken out the stuff that isn’t healthy, without losing the great taste and flavour.
“When it comes to restaurants, everyone asks me: what’s my secret? Restaurants usually die within their first year. We’ve opened seven in four years. People come for the food, good service, and a feeling of community. People come back for the good food…and because they feel at home when they step back inside a Trejo’s Tacos. That’s all.
“I’m so ready to bring Trejo’s Tacos to London. I love the creativity that the city inspires, and I can’t think of a better place to launch internationally than with our friends in London. I’m excited that we found the perfect time and team to bring Trejo’s to its second home.”
