From the legendary actor and L.A. restaurateur comes a cookbook featuring 75 badass recipes, from lowrider donuts and award-winning vegan cauliflower tacos to a sweet and spicy brisket inspired by Danny's mum's barbacoa.

Hollywood's baddest good guy shares 75 recipes that make Trejo's Tacos the Los Angeles go-to for award-winning tacos, donuts, and more.

Long before he was a Hollywood star, Danny Trejo used to joke with his mum that they should open a restaurant. A few arrests, a couple of boxing championships, and more than 300 movies later, Hollywood's favourite bad guy did just that with Trejo's Tacos. His unexpected journey from ex-con to actor to Narcotics Anonymous/Alcoholics Anonymous counsellor to successful restaurateur is a true rags-to-riches story.

Now, in Trejo's Tacos, Trejo not only shares 75 recipes for cantina favourites like succulent carnitas, vegan cauliflower tacos, and pillowy-sweet cinnamon-sugar lowrider donuts, but offers insights into his life and pays respect to his hometown, his roots, and all of the colourful characters who helped him along the way, creating a delicious tribute to L.A. and the city's vibrant Latino culture.
