Trejo's Tacos (First edition)

Throughout Danny's life, good food with friends and family have remained a constant--whether it was home-cooked meals from his mom while imagining the menu for their dream restaurant or whipping up post-wrap celebratory tacos with his Hollywood friends.

Now, with his own restaurant empire growing, Danny shares his Los Angeles culinary heritage from a Latino perspective.

The recipes are bold, fun, and versatile and you'll come away with the know-how and skills for cooking L.A.-style Mexican food with confidence, from new ways to amp up a roasted tomato salsa, a profound and deeply flavored two-day brisket brine, and a pepita pesto that will impress all your friends.

The book also includes stories about Danny's life, from his childhood in Echo Park and Mexican roots to his acting career and becoming an AA/NA counselor.

Like Danny's restaurants, Trejo's Tacos is generous, hospitable, and symbolic of L.A.'s vibrant Latino culture.
