Trejo’s Tacos - Notting Hill

Very disappointing experience, partially saved by the dumb luck of going on their promotional day where it is 2 for 1 on tacos. Food was mediocre if I'm being entirely honest, and the pricing at normal prices is pretty extraordinary for what you get. Far too much for one quite lightly-filled track, of unremarkable quality. The carnitas were the best of them, the others we had were really not very good at all. The churros were genuinely bad. Not sure how you get those wrong, but they were awful. Dry, chewy. Worst I've ever had. Maybe cooked from frozen? I don't know, but they were really bad. Server was very nice once we were at our table, but they took ages to acknowledge our arrival into the restaurant - had we not had a booking I'd have left before they came over.

Finally I had a chance to visit this place. Great atmosphere, nice music. Very tasty cocktail (Margarita) with Jalapeño pepper. Tried burrito and taco with shrimps. Also there is a beer produced for this place. Recommend to visit!

Had an unfortunately very disappointing experience at Trejos tacos. we went there before a show at the royal albert hall in pre-christmas time. You'd think that would mean the place would be packed but we were the only customers in the whole establishment for the whole time we were there. We started with a trio of margarita cocktails which were all yummy. I then tried to order a frozen paloma and got told they don't have that today. I then ask if they could make me just a normal one which they could. So if they can make a frozen margarita and a normal paloma why can't you make the frozen paloma? either way, not a big deal, my paloma was delicious and well made. Our waiter was either new or didn't care that much as the service itself wasn't great. my partner ordered the cheesy beans and chips which are genuinely utterly divine. they are the best thing on the menu. the beans are delicios and the chips are crunchy, greatly seasoned and an absolute highlight. the starter that I wanted, the corn, was not available. we ordered a variety of tacos, the pork one being the worst one. it genuinely felt like the chef might have mixed up the salt with sugar. it was SO sweet, it was genuinely inedible. a different waiter asked us if everything was alright when we didn't touch it after a bite and we gave him the feedback and he kindly offered us to bring us something else which we declined, mainly because we had ordered lots of different tacos already and didn't need more food but the gesture was appreciated. The steak asada taco was nice, but nothing special, the chicken tikka taco was again another highlight, funky, tikka-ish but still staying true to being a taco. the best thing we had was the grilled chicken taco which comes on a bed of lettuce and unfortunately, isn't really a taco anymore. the meat is absolute perfection, as is the sauce, but there is no way that you'd be able to pick it up and eat it as a taco. we also had the spicy shrimp and mushroom tacos which were fine but again nothing special. I guess my biggest complaint with trejos tacos is that for a taco joint they don't care about tacos that much. some tacos come with flour and some with corn tortillas, it's nowhere indicated which one you're going to get and you can't choose it which just seems counter productive. there are definitely some highlights in there like the cheese and bean dip, the chicken taco and even the own beer which are genuinely lovely. it just didn't end up being worth the price tag of £100+ for two people. I also have to say that the ambience was weird, it was cold in the restaurant, I had to sit there in my coat, and the music that was playing was a weird late 90s early 2000s mix which kept cutting out and then being re started. after the waiter cleared our table he was done with us. we wanted to order the churros (because who doesn't love churros) and some more drinks but he never came back to our table - considering we were the only table that just wasn't good enough. when we left, the two waiters were just chilling on one of the sofas in the restaurant, I can't blame them if it really is such a slow evening, but it wasn't a good look. overall we would not return. the food wasn't good enough overall for the price tag and the service and ambience was shocking.

Big Daddy Trejo did not disappoint. I genuinely cried over how good the nachos were, and the tacos were the perfect amount of delish and messy. Just the way I like it. The Trejo's original hot sauce is a banger, and I don't even like hot sauce. Frozen margaritas are also, what is known in the industry, as a buff. Our server Laura was also such a delight, exudes happiness and actually just a very nice woman. Compliments all round! Do recommend getting a hotel or Air B&B nearby as the food coma hits different

The food is not particularly good and it is pricey. Each taco was 7 gbp and they were small. The only dish we liked was the nachos with guacamole. The nachos were homemade and very nice! Plus the rest of the ingredients were also good. The churros were by far the worse ones we have ever had. I will strongly recommend you not to order them. Service is good and the place is lovely.

So disappointing. We were really excited to try this place. The space has awesome Danny Trejo murals and decor and the location is good, but the food is not even average in quality and is quite overpriced. Some good bits and some awful bits food wise. The chips and cheesy bean dip were delicious, also the side of rice was very small but tasty. My husband loved his steak taco, but the carnitas and chicken tikka were fine but nothing special. I ordered the street corn and grilled chicken bowl and both were shockingly bad. They were both SO heavily over-seasoned. I don't mean spicy (honestly not hot spicy at all) just crazy salty and so much powdered seasoning you could hardly taste the actual ingredients in the dish, especially the street corn. I genuinely wondered if it was a cooking mishap because it was so overpoweringly salty. I left half of each dish behind. The Fresno Chile Margherita was nice enough, but very small for £13 (short rocks glass, and over half of it was ice, 3 sips and done). Overall, we had a nice time, but we would never go back. It's a real pity, because I truly doubt they'll get much repeat business and I can see it being a flash in the pan and closing down in no time at all.

I traveled 3hours from up north as I'm a big fan of Danny. Really glad he decided to open a trejos tacos in the UK. We were served by Laura C and Luca C who were extremely friendly and helpful, made us feel very welcome. The food is really good and afordable prices considering its in London.

When Danny Trejo decided to open a restaurant in London, I was excited to try it. Tortilla chips were a bit greasy, guacamole was nothing to write home about (was expecting more), could have done with a few additional dips, they are available on the menu, it’s just not clear. I initially ordered the nachos and requested guacamole on the side and it was suggested that I select chips and guacamole instead, which I did. The beer is served in measures called a ‘schooner’ which is a new one to me, which is apparently a measurement of 425ml, I initially thought 2 fingers was missing. This should be pointed out when ordering as I ordered a beer, upon arrival without viewing menu first, but it’s there on the menu, which I missed, so have adjusted my review to reflect this misunderstanding. Ribeye steak was slightly over cooked, I like mine to still have a pulse, we were not asked how we wanted it, plus seasoning was uneven, I got a hint of salt with the last few bites, sides were adequate. The only saving grace was the pork carnitas taco, which was packed with flavour. If the menu was clearer, it could be a good place to grab a drink and some tacos, I’d definitely go back for the tacos - should have ordered more.
