SANTA MONICA, CA — Danny Trejo's Santa Monica taco spot celebrated its grand opening on Tuesday with BOGO tacos and live mariachi.
The fourth Trejo's Tacos location opened in Santa Monica in August, joining locations in La Brea, Hollywood and the Farmers Market near the Grove.
The Santa Monica location served up a buy-one-get-one-free deal on their classic creative taco flavors like chicken tikka, fried chicken, blackened salmon and a vegan jackfruit taco. Attendees danced along to live mariachi and watched Trejo's ceremonial ribbon cutting. The Santa Monica location sits at 316 Santa Monica Blvd.

"It's good food. There's no secret. Your people will come to your restaurant if you're a celebrity one time to get a picture or an autograph. But if the food's not good, they're not coming back," Trejo told KCRW.
