Read on for the ultimate list of scavenger hunts inspired by the action star and Hollywood’s nicest “bad guy,” Danny Trejo. And the best part: you’ll be playing for Trejo merch! How’s that for motivation?
Danny is famous for his many action-packed roles. So for an action-packed adventure that’s equal parts scavenger hunt and obstacle course, design a scavenger hunt inspired by his spirit of adventure and daring! Create a list of items that participants need to find like a bandana, a pair of binoculars, and a compass. Then, design a hunt around your city that requires the use of all of these tools to finish the entire race. On their way, set up some “obstacles” inspired by Danny’s various roles, like climbing a wall or crawling through a tunnel to get to the finish line. Only the fastest and smartest can finish first, and the winner gets a Danny Trejo Black Flat Brim hat to keep their face shielded from the sun on their next adventure.
When you envision Danny in your mind, you probably envision a ton of dope tattoos, so create a scavenger hunt that’s all about his love of ink and art. Create a list of items that participants need to find like traditional tattoo designs, non-toxic markers, and some paper. Participants will need to create their own tattoo using the materials provided, then have it judged by a panel who rate each piece based on how much they think Danny would like to actually get it tatted on his skin. For the prize, gift your winner a pack of Trejo’s House Blend Whole Bean Coffee so they can keep those creative wheels spinning all night long.
One of Danny’s most iconic roles is as Machete in the movie of the same name, as well as in Spy Kids. To pay homage to this weapons-slinging action movie hero, organize a hunt for toy versions of all of the iconic weapons he uses in his films like guns, chainsaws, and, of course, machetes. The person who finds all of the “weapons” gets to leave with their very own Trejo’s Tacos Apron so they can sling their own weapons (aka the knives and tools they use in the kitchen) in style without messing up their clothes!
Fun fact: you might know him primarily as Hollywood’s favorite anti-hero character actor, but Danny also has made a huge name for himself in the Los Angeles foodie scene! He even has three restaurants of his own: Trejo’s Tacos, Trejo’s Cantina, and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts. So to pay homage to his foodie side, create a scavenger hunt/cooking competition!
Hide key ingredients like jalapenos, avocados, tomatoes, and hot sauce around the area. Then have your participants hunt for the ingredients following clues. Once they have all the ingredients on their list, they’ll have to head to the kitchen and create a dish inspired by Mexican cuisine. Have a panel of judges decide which creation is the best. The best cook gets a signed copy of Danny’s signature Trejos Tacos Cookbook to enjoy some of Danny’s best creations from the comfort of their own home.
On a similar note, a scavenger hunt around town is the perfect opportunity to taste some of your city’s tastiest tacos! Create a list of clues that direct participants to the best taco trucks and restaurants in your area, and have them order the spiciest option on the menu. The first person to solve all of the clues and eat all of the tacos gets a three-pack of Danny’s signature Trejo’s Tacos Hot Sauce to add a smoky, spicy kick to everything they eat.
One of Danny’s most notable accomplishments is that he’s appeared in hundreds of iconic movies over the years, which means that you can create a lengthy scavenger hunt that’s all about his impressive filmography. Create a list of items that participants need to find inspired by his movies, like a DVD copy of Machete, a toy inspired by the gadgets in Spy Kids, and a clove of garlic to pay homage to his role as a vampire in From Dusk Til Dawn. Participants will also need to complete tasks that are inspired by the movies, such as quoting a line from a movie or acting out a particularly action-packed scene. The winner of this game is obviously going to be a true fan, so give them the gift of Danny’s Essentials, which includes some of Danny’s favorite items so they can live life inspired by their favorite actor.
Looking to create a real bonding experience that’ll have your friends testing their skills out in the wild? Create a scavenger hunt that's all about survival skills! Create a list of items that participants need to find, including a fire starter, a water filter, and a map. Participants will also need to complete tasks that are inspired by Danny Trejo's roles, such as building a shelter or starting a fire. This is a great idea for a scavenger hunt that you’re organizing out in the wild --- like on a hiking trip or camping excursion out in the middle of nowhere --- but it can also do just as well as a backyard adventure to give your friends a safe taste of the skills it takes to survive. The winner of this scavenger hunt gets rewarded with a warm and cozy Grey/Black Hoodie to keep them nice and toasty on their next outdoor excursion.
Danny’s worn a lot of epic hats in his day, both as an actor and as the man himself, so there’s no better inspiration for a day of fun, adventure, and problem-solving. Get ready for a day filled with adventure, stunts, delicious food, and a great time!

]]>And every time you get down to it on the grill or in your kitchen and cook something delicious, you end up with a ton of food splattered all over your clothes.
If this sounds like you, we’ve got good news: you really don’t need to wear your delicious creations on your clothes anymore. Here’s why you need an apron if you’re a guy who loves to cook — plus the best apron on the market from the restauranteur, nicest “bad guy” character actor, and infamous badass OG himself, Danny Trejo.
If you’re looking for an apron to throw on whenever you’re in the kitchen that’ll keep you and your clothes clean, look no further than the Trejo’s Tacos Chef’s Apron from the Trejo’s Store!
Featuring a Trejo’s Tacos logo and a stylized picture of actor Danny Trejo, this chef’s apron is the ultimate badass apron for any man (or anyone, really!) who loves chefing up a delicious meal, preferably to be enjoyed while an action-packed movie plays in the background. Whether you’re grilling at a backyard barbecue, mixing up a batch of fresh baked goods, chopping up the ingredients for your favorite salsa, or anything in between, this adjustable black canvas apron acts as the perfect shield for protecting you from all the splatters, flour, and spills that inevitably happen during the process. It’s also made with 100% cotton and comes with an adjustable neck strap, so you can cook in comfort and style.
Bonus: this is also a really great gift if you have a Danny Trejo fan in your life who loves spending time in the kitchen but doesn’t like a big mess afterward.
The first and most obvious reason to invest in a good chef’s apron is to protect your clothes from the inevitable mess that comes with whipping up a delicious meal. Even if you’re throwing a party and wearing your Sunday best, you can still grill to your heart’s content without worrying about messing up your favorite dressy clothes. Then, simply take your apron off and enjoy the party with the rest of your friends and family!
Another major perk of wearing an apron while cooking? It can keep you clean just as much as it does your clothes. That means less time washing up and more time to dedicate to enjoying your favorite homemade meals!
Finally, wearing a chef’s apron is a great way to minimize the overall mess that inevitably occurs while you’re cooking. The more food that ends up on your apron, the less time you’ll have to spend cleaning all those errant spills and stains off of your floors and cabinets.
Looking for more Trejo-inspired gear to show off while you’re cooking it up in your kitchen? We’ve gathered some other chef-worthy favorites inspired by Danny’s restauranteur side.
If you’re in the camp that agrees that no food is complete without a dash of a delicious hot sauce, you need this 3-pack of signature hot sauces served in all of Danny’s restaurants including Trejo’s Tacos and Trejo’s Cantina! Made with a mouthwatering blend of chipotle, chili de arbol, guajillo, chili puya, California entero, serrano, and cayenne peppers, this medium-spiced hot sauce goes good with virtually anything you’re making in your kitchen from pizzas and sauces to soups and tacos.
Or, for the real adventurous palate and Trejo fan, invest in this special, limited-edition hot sauce! This 2022 special-edition hot sauce is made with the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper and packs a flavorful punch without overwhelming your taste buds. Only 1,0000 bottles of this smoky-sweet hot sauce were released, and each bottle is numbered and signed for authentication, so it makes for a great conversation piece just as much as it does a tasty condiment for all of your favorite foods.
Looking for new ways to shake it up in the kitchen and add some new favorite recipes to your rotation? Peruse Danny’s Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook for inspiration! This book includes 75 mouthwateringly delicious recipes inspired by Mexico and Los Angeles and is a testimony to Danny’s career in Hollywood and his mother’s lifelong dream to open a restaurant. Bonus points: each copy from the Trejos Store is also signed by Danny himself!
If you’re hungry for even more, you can take it one step further and invest in Trejo’s Cantina Cookbook, which is also signed by Danny himself! This cookbook features a huge variety of cocktails, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks that will get the party going and solidify your reputation as the host with the most.
Need to warm up a big batch of tortillas to go with all of those delicious foods you’ve been cooking up all day? Enter: the Trejo’s Tacos Tortilla Warmer. This microwave-friendly tortilla warmer makes it easier than ever to get a bunch of tortillas warm and fresh for your fiesta. Just add in the tortillas (or pita, roti, naan, or wraps) of your choice, then pop it into the microwave and zap for less than a minute. Your bread will stay hot and warm for up to one hour so all of your guests can have only the best.
Finally, no grill session is complete without a nice cold beverage in hand. This black foam can cooler features a Trejo’s Tacos logo and keeps your drink of choice nice and cold all night long. These also make for great party favors and gifts for your guests!
Whether you’re a professional chef or an at-home legend, no chef’s outfit is complete without a nice apron to protect your clothing and keep your kitchen clean. For a unique and crowd-pleasing apron, the Trejo’s Tacos apron is a great choice for any guy who loves a good explosive movie just as much as they love a hot and delicious meal.

]]>We’ve gathered a list of fun challenges to do with your friends to take your next hang to the next level. Note: even though they’re inspired by the various stunts and scenes in Danny Trejo’s movies, these challenges are meant to be fun, not dangerous. Make safety your number one priority and be responsible!
Of all the roles that Danny is known for, Machete is definitely one of his most notable. And even though you definitely don’t want to be throwing real machetes around with your friends (safety first!), an axe-throwing competition in a safe and controlled venue is a very good substitute.
Axe throwing has become all the rage recently, and for good reason. It’s fun but challenging, and has a slight tinge of danger, making it the perfect friend challenge for anyone who enjoys action movies and a little friendly competition. Gather up a group of your friends and head to your local axe-throwing venue. Some ideas to make it extra challenging: make a competitive bracket to see who can throw the highest score out of five throws. Or, if you have some real hot shots in your group, have them go back to back, throwing axes until the first person misses the bullseye.
Danny Trejo isn’t just known for his many films --- he’s also a major foodie. In fact, he even has three restaurants named after him including Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts, Trejo’s Cantina, and the famous Trejo’s Tacos. So if you and your friends all have a major appetite, make it a competition to see who can eat the most tacos in one sitting. Set a timer for five minutes, lay out a table of tacos that are all the same size, then go to town and see who eats the most by the time the timer runs out.
Can you handle the heat? Gather an assortment of hot sauces with varying degrees of spice (don’t forget Trejo’s Hot Sauce!) and lay them out in order from least to most spicy. Then fill a tiny shot glass with each kind of hot sauce and have your friends taste-test each one in progression. Whoever needs a drink of water first loses!
If you and your friends are always showing off in the kitchen, it’s time to challenge each other to a cooking competition. Start with some basic ingredients inspired by Danny’s own restaurants (think lime, tortillas, and carnitas, for example) then have each competitor whip up the best meal that they can think of. Then, have an impartial third party judge which meal is the best. It’s a great way to have a fun time and eat delicious food, so complete win-win. Bonus points if you use one of Danny’s tried-and-true recipes from Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook or Trejo’s Cantina Cookbook.
For a fun twist on game night, make a movie trivia challenge to see who the biggest Trejo fan in your group is! Gather up a list of trivia questions based on Trejo’s movies and career at large, keeping tabs on who gets the most questions right. Then, give the winner a Trejo T-shirt to celebrate their win!
If you really want to show off your strength and brawn, there’s no better challenge than a push-up challenge. Have all of your friends get into a high plank, then match each other push-up for push-up until someone taps out.
For friend groups that like to get a little creative and have the room to do so, build an obstacle course in your backyard that’ll have your friends showing off their speed, strength, and stamina. Then time each person as they run through the obstacle course, giving the top prize to the friend who finishes it in the least amount of time. Bonus points if you make your obstacle course themed based on a Trejo movie, like escaping the cartel or being chased by vampires a la From Dusk Til Dawn.
Have everyone dress up and do their best Danny Trejo impressions all night long based on their up favorite character he’s played. If anyone breaks character, they get punished by doing ten push-ups.
Feeling artsy? One of Danny’s signature traits is his collection of ink, so it makes for a great challenge for the creatively-inclined friend groups to replicate them! Have each of your friends draw out the biggest and boldest Trejo-inspired tattoos on their bodies using nontoxic markers. Then, designate a judge to award prizes for best artistry and creativity.
There’s no better way to honor Danny during your challenge than to fight around with machetes --- plastic toy machetes, that is! Play out a sword fight, using your best defensive and offensive moves to avoid being touched by the “blade.” If any part of your body does get touched by the toy, you’re out. Keep going with all of your friends until the last man or woman standing.
Trejo’s film career has seen plenty of epic shoot-outs, so it’s only right to include an epic Nerf gun battle the next time you hang out with your friends. Divide up into two teams and start an action movie-inspired shootout in which every time someone gets tagged with a Nerf bullet, they’re out. Keep it rolling until there’s just one person left standing. You can also do the same type of challenge with water guns or paintball guns.
If you really want to prove who’s the biggest Bad Ass in your group, challenge everyone to a weightlifting challenge! Pick one major lift (ie: deadlift, squat, bench press, or curl), then keep upping the weight until someone fails to lift through the entire movement. Whoever can lift the most weight successfully is the winner.
Note: this should only be done if your friend group has experience in weightlifting with the proper technique and form. Know your limits, prioritize good form, stay safe, and don’t do anything stupid for the sake of showing off.
There have been plenty of escape scenes in Danny’s resume, so an escape room is an awesome way to get all of your friends in on the action. Build your own “escape room” Inspired by the prison break movies Danny has starred in, including Con Air, Alcatraz, and Point Blank. Make puzzles, hide clues around the room, and give your friends an hour to see if they can successfully crack the code in time.
Finally, if you want a simple and to-the-point challenge for your friends that’ll push everyone’s strength to the limit, a simple arm-wrestling match will do. Have everyone pair up, then gather each group around a table for an arm-wrestling match. Do this elimination bracket style until you’re left with one winner.
Challenging your friends to a friendly show of strength, “battle,” or game is an awesome way to mix up your stand hangouts and build plenty of fun memories in the process. With these Danny Trejo-inspired challenges, you’re sure to keep everyone on their toes!

]]>At least, that was the case until now!
No matter what your relationship with him might look like, here are some awesome gifts from the Trejo Store that your father-in-law is sure to appreciate receiving (and that will earn you some major brownie points in the meantime!).
If your father-in-law doesn’t consider an outfit a good one unless he’s rocking a Hawaiian shirt, step up his game one step further with this printed Hawaiian Hat from the Trejo’s Store. In addition to a bright and colorful tropical print, it also features a Trejo’s Tacos logo with Danny Trejo himself, so he can easily rock his favorite print, his favorite actor, and his favorite taco joint all at once … a definite winner for any Trejo fan!
On the other hand, your father-in-law might be more partial to beanies, in which case this Trejo’s Cerveza beanie is a sure winner. This ultra-warm beanie features black, gold, and heather gray stripes and a festive pom pom, plus the Trejo’s Cerveza logo for the FIL who appreciates a good brew just as much as he does a warm head.
For the in-law who appreciates a cup of joe that packs a punch just as hard as the ones in Danny Trejo’s infamous action scenes, you can’t do much better than this whole bean dark roast. This blend contains 40% Brazil Mogiana, 40% Brazil Bob-o-Link, and 20% Guatemalan Huehuetenango and is the same exact coffee that’s featured in all of the Trejo’s restaurants and donut shops in Los Angeles. It’ll be a great way for your coffee connoisseur in-law to get his day started off on the right foot --- and it’s always a bonus if that’s due in large part to you!
A good, comfy tee is one of the best gifts for anybody to receive, and this is especially true when it features the logo of your father-in-law’s favorite actor and hot sauce. Besides being known for his many, many action film accolades, Danny Trejo is also an accomplished restauranteur who owns a variety of restaurants like Trejo’s Tacos, Trejo’s Cantina, and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts, all of which use the same Trejo’s Hot Sauce that is featured on this comfy unisex T-shirt.
Your father-in-law enjoys sipping on a nice cold brew at the end of the day as he settles in with his favorite movies, so give him the gift of a perfectly insulated cup every single time with this can cooler. It’s made of black foam and fits most beers or soft drinks and, of course, it features the famous Trejo’s Tacos logo so that he can represent his favorite actor (preferably while rewatching Machete for the umpteenth time).
If there’s one thing that your father-in-law is known for, it’s throwing down on the grill at those big family gatherings … so help him keep his clothes clean while he’s grilling up something delicious by gifting him this chef’s apron. This large black canvas apron is made of 100% cotton and has an adjustable neck strap so he can comfortably cook and BBQ to his heart’s content, then take it off and have a spotless outfit underneath. It’s a great gift for any guy who shows his love for his family through cooking and is always ready to grill up a feast.
For the Machete superfan who wants to live his life as close to the OG badass as possible, this Danny’s Essentials bundle is a great gift for helping them achieve that goal. It features a 3-pack of Trejo’s signature hot sauce that he can add to his favorite foods, an organic cotton tote bag for grocery shopping and lugging stuff around, and a tortilla warmer for a perfectly warm and moist tortilla from the microwave every single time.
In addition to all the time he’s spent in front of the camera, Danny Trejo also has a passion for delicious fare (as anyone who has been to any of the Trejo’s restaurants can attest to!). If your father-in-law also loves delicious food and non-alcoholic drinks, give him this cookbook that features a ton of cocktails, snacks, and non-alcoholic drinks inspired by Danny’s Mexican culture and Hollywood background. All of these cantina-inspired recipes are meant to bring the family together, so don’t be surprised if he starts throwing a ton of parties and inviting you and your significant other over more often --- and the best part: this copy is signed by Danny Trejo himself, so it’s a collector’s item just as much as it is a delicious inspiration for his next dinner party.
Socks are the ultimate fall-back gift if you just can’t figure out what to get someone: they’re useful, they’re comfy, and they’re universal. If you’re stuck on socks but want to make sure that it’s still a meaningful gift that he’s actually going to appreciate, take it that one step further and give your father-in-law these fun striped crew socks that feature a Trejo’s Tacos logo. They’ll go with any outfit and fit almost anybody, plus he can use them to subtly show off his deep and unabiding love for tacos and action flicks.
Shopping for your father-in-law can be hard: they’re one of the most important people in your family since they helped raise your significant other, but it can be hard to gauge an appropriate gift depending on your relationship with them. Luckily, the perfect gift for your father-in-law’s birthday, Father’s Day, or holiday is not at all hard to find if he’s a Trejo fan. With merch from the Trejo’s Store, you’re sure to find something that he’ll actually really enjoy receiving.

]]>Read on for some killer date ideas that don’t suck, inspired by the legend Danny Trejo himself.
While getting into the ring together is (understandably) probably not at the top of your list of romantic date ideas, you should probably reconsider! Boxing classes are a great way to stay fit and get moving -- and when done with the right partner, they’re also a ton of fun and a great bonding experience. Bonus points: for the competitive couples, a boxing class also welcomes the opportunity of a healthy amount of loving, good-natured shit-talking.
You heard it here first: stuffy sit-down dinners are out and casual taco joints are in! If you want a dinner date that you’re actually going to enjoy and be comfortable in (and not spend a ton of money in the process), check out your local taco restaurant to get a delicious, hot meal that won’t cost you an arm or a leg, nor do you have to dress up super fancy to go there.
Danny Trejo loves tacos so much that he started his own line of Trejo’s Tacos restaurants, which you can visit at its various locations in the Los Angeles area if you want a date that’s always cool and never compromises on taste. But if you aren’t lucky enough to be in the area, you can always recreate the cool date scene at home by trying your hand at the recipes in Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook. Just don’t forget to top it all off with that signature Trejo’s Hot Sauce to get the right amount of kick no matter where your date is taking place!
If you love classic cars and motorcycles just as much as Danny does, consider visiting your local classic car show with your partner. Not only will you get to see some of your favorite whips in person and chat with their real owners to get some insider tips, but it’s also a great way to plan what you want your future to look like (and which classic cars and motorcycles you two will have in your garage when you get there).
It may be taboo to get a matching tat with your partner, but if you both have separate ideas for new pieces that you’re each wanting to get, why not make a date out of it and go together? Getting ink together can be a real bonding experience and offers plenty of romantic opportunities for you and your partner to get closer (see: squeezing their hand while trying not to cry out in pain from the needle hitting a particularly spicy spot).
Or, if you aren’t ready to make a big commitment to some new ink on you for life, you can practice your art skills on each other and try some ideas by drawing on each other with non-toxic markers.
Trejo is a Hollywood legend, and he also grew up in Los Angeles, which means that this area is especially dear to him. And whether you’re new to the area or a lifelong veteran, there are so many different places to see that the possibilities for sightseeing are endless! Play tourist for a day and hop onto a Hollywood tour bus, check out some of the most iconic cultural spots, or spend the day driving around the hills and checking out the scenes that make the area so damn special (bonus points if you’re cruising around in a classic car or a motorcycle).
Date nights definitely don’t have to be fancy to be fun! If you’re looking for a chill date night that’ll still leave you both laughing and flexing your competitive edge, check out your local dive bar and play a game of pool or darts. There’ll be plenty of creative trash talk and guaranteed memories made.
If you and your partner veer more towards the adventurous, take a walk on the wild side and explore some of the green spaces near you on foot. Whether you’re hiking up the infamous Hollyridge Trail to the Hollywood sign or exploring a far-flung trail quite literally in the middle of nowhere, it’s a great way for you both to disconnect from all the pressures of the outside world and simply exist together in the moment, all while taking in some gorgeous views along the way.
If you’re really trying to amp up the romantic vibes, try bringing along a picnic! Charcuterie meats, cheeses, and sweets can all stay good through the majority of most hikes, and you’ll be able to toast your success with each other once you reach the summit.
If your ideal date night actually means staying in, make your cozy night even more special by throwing an at-home cocktail night and making your house or apartment your own personal cantina for two.
How it works: have each person select a fancy cocktail (or mocktail) recipe, and spend the night mixing them up and putting them together. Then you two can argue about which drink turned out the best! If you’re looking for recipe inspiration, check out Trejo’s Cantina Cookbook, which has a huge variety of cantina-ready recipes like cocktails, drinks, and non-alcoholic drinks so that everyone can participate.
There’s no better Trejo-inspired date night idea than having an action movie night --- after all, he’s a certified legend in the field! But if action movies aren’t really your partner’s thing, you can have your cake and eat it too simply by making your movie night a little more fun for everyone.
For example, you can make it a themed night where you decorate the room with some cheap decorations and you both have to dress up in a ridiculous costume of one of the characters of the movies you’ll be watching (hint: the character Machete makes a great costume). Or, make it an interactive drinking game by encouraging the both of you to drink every time Danny Trejo shows up in a movie he’s not starring in or every time something explodes. Finally, you can’t go wrong with plenty of snacks that’ll keep their attention no matter what’s on the screen!
We love food truck festivals because they are so diverse and showcase so many different cuisines, all in one spot. So they’re also a great date idea for anyone who loves a little bit of food and adventure! Look up your next local food truck festival and visit it with your partner. Make sure you get Mexican food, of course, but also branch out and try some things you never had before, like Ethiopian, Morrocan, Filipino, etc. It’s a great time and it might inspire some new travel plans for the two of you.

]]>If you’re a big Trejo fan, you know that he has (quite literally) done it all. From earning a boxing championship in San Quentin State Prison to starring in hundreds of movies, this “ex-con turned icon” has definitely earned his place among the Hollywood Greats.
And if you know anything about his many, many film credits, you know that this tatted, gruff actor always keeps it exciting in every role he plays -- which means that there have been plenty of exciting moments along the way. Let’s play a game of “would you rather” featuring the many stunts, fights, and laughs from Danny Trejo’s career.
Trejo has been in many, many movies over the course of his career, but arguably his best and most iconic role is as the titular character in Machete. You might know Machete as the knife-yielding ex-Federale on a rampage for revenge, but the character actually has a much more family-friendly origin: as the gruff uncle and inventor in Spy Kids!
As the reclusive and estranged uncle in Spy Kids, Machete creates a series of innovative gadgets for his niece and nephew Carmen like Electroshock Gumballs that shock enemies after being chewed and the robot-shaped Machete BuddyPacks that allowed the Spy Kids to jet around in the air. Meanwhile, the weapons in Machete are much more straightforward and quite a bit more deadly (think Glocks, rifles, machine guns attached to motorcycles, and, of course, a lot of sharp knives) but no less explosive.
Yeah, this is a hard one: how exactly does someone choose between savory pockets of tortilla filled with perfectly spiced meats and veggies versus deep-fried dough slathered in sugar?
Luckily, this is all hypothetical, since you absolutely can have both. In fact, Danny loves both so much that he actually owns two different restaurant chains; Trejo’s Tacos and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts! So whether you’re craving something savory and satisfying or sweet and indulgent, you can have a bite of each. And if you don’t happen to be lucky enough to live in Los Angeles within reach of either, you can always purchase the Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook signed by Danny Trejo himself so you can replicate these delicious recipes no matter where you are.
One of Trejo’s skills is that he can play a huge variety of characters (as evidenced by his enormous resume). And though you can often find him playing a dangerous criminal and anti-hero, he’s also been known to star in plenty of lighter and funnier roles throughout his career.
One of our favorites: his role as Slim, a motorcyclist with a surprisingly soft side in the irreverent cult classic Bubble Boy where Jake Gyllenhaal plays a young man with no immune system who has to live and travel in a plastic bubble to prevent illness from the outside world.
Danny really enjoys his hot sauces, so much so that his Trejo’s Tacos and Trejo’s Cantinas restaurants all use a signature Trejo’s Hot Sauce made with a lip-smacking blend of chipotle, chili de arbol, guajillo, chili puya, California entero, serrano, and cayenne peppers. But he is also a big fan of coffee, which anyone who has been to one of Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts shop locations can attest to.
So the big question is: would you rather gulp down a fiery hot bottle of hot sauce all at once and never have to do it again, or only be able to drink buzzy, energizing coffee until the end of time? Either way, this “would you rather” is probably going to leave you really wanting a cold glass of water at the end of it.
Trejo is easily one of the most recognizable actors in Hollywood, thanks in no small part to his impressive collection of tats. One of his boldest and most dramatic pieces is a chest piece of a woman wearing a sombrero, which you can see pretty frequently in many of his movies.
Luckily, you don’t actually need to get your own tattoo if you want to rep Trejo on the daily -- he has plenty of merch with his face on it, like this Classic White T-Shirt, 360 Socks, and Black Flat Brim Hat.
Trejo is no stranger to fighting off enemies with a combination of fists and weapons -- even when all involved parties are not always human. Two of his most best sci-fi flick features as hunter Cuchillo in Predators and as the vampire Razor Charlie in From Dusk ‘Til Dawn.
Probably unsurprisingly, Trejo has notable appearances in two of the most iconic television series of our time: Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad. Interestingly enough, both of those characters end up being undercover double agents against the Cartel!
In Sons of Anarchy, Trejo plays Romero Parada, a high-ranking Galindo Cartel member who is actually working double time for the CIA. Meanwhile, as Tortuga in Breaking Bad, Trejo is a Cartel runner-turned-criminal informant for the DEA.
Danny Trejo may play many roles and wear many hats, but no matter what he’s doing he always keeps it entertaining. The next time you’re settling down for an all-night movie binge, play this game of hypotheticals to really get the party going!

]]>Actor Danny Trejo loves hot sauce so much that he serves a unique blend at his restaurant Trejo’s Tacos, but he also is taking it one step further and creating a unique sauce every holiday season!
The 2022 version is made with the Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper, aka the second hottest pepper in the world (in fact, it measures its heat at a whopping 2 million Scoville units!). The flavor is smoky, spicy, and also a little bit sweet, which makes it a great pairing for virtually any savory dish from eggs to tacos.
Even better, this particular hot sauce version also comes signed by Danny Trejo himself, making it a doubly suitable gift for any guy who loves kickass action movies and scorching hot sauce on his foods.
This beautiful sugar skull piece by artist Ernesto Yerena is a vibrant celebration of Mexican culture and was first commissioned for the very first Trejos Tacos location in Los Angeles. And now, you can get a high-quality screenprint of this iconic piece of artwork for your boyfriend to hang in his own home!
This screen print measures at 18x24 inches and comes ready to be framed. It’s signed by both the artist Ernesto Yerena and Danny Trejo himself, so your boyfriend can have a truly authentic piece that’s sure to start a conversation every time he has visitors over.
This super-soft hoodie with a Trejo’s Tacos logo is bound to be well-received by any boyfriend. The best part is, it’s so nice that you’ll probably want to borrow it yourself! This hoodie is available in multiple sizes and made with a 60% cotton/40% polyester blend that’ll keep your boyfriend (and you) warm through even the coldest nights.
If your man loves throwing it down in the kitchen and whipping up delicious meals for the both of you to share, he’ll definitely appreciate this Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook (and yes, you will too once you get to try the recipes he makes from it!).
Not only does it include 75 delicious and easy-to-follow recipes, but it also features stories and photos from the man himself that celebrate the city of Los Angeles and all the ways that it made Danny Trejo the man he is today.
A warm, cozy accessory can really make or break any outfit. It can also help keep your man nice and toasty even on the coldest days. Enter: this combination of socks and a beanie, all repping Trejo. It comes with two different pairs of Trejo’s Tacos socks and a comfortable and stylish heather grey beanie so that he can rep his favorite taco spot and actor all while staying warm and looking good doing it.
Fun fact. Danny Trejo doesn’t just own Trejo’s Tacos; he also has Trejo’s Cantina and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts! So if your action movie-loving boyfriend is also a big fan of good coffee, you can’t do much better than this three-pack of whole-bean coffee roasts that are actually served at Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts locations. This 3-pack comes with a light roast, medium roast, or dark roast, and they’re all made with 100% Arabica beans. It’s a great gift for any guy who loves a mug of hot, high-quality coffee before he gets the day started.
Having a hard time choosing a gift for your boyfriend? Forget that boring old coffee mug and get him this Trejo-themed option instead! Whether he’s sipping on a piping hot cup of Trejo’s Coffee or an ice-cold glass of water, this insulated coffee tumbler is the perfect vessel for keeping them at the exact right temperature. This 16 oz CamelBak tumbler is made with insulated stainless steel and a lid for keeping his drinks as delicious as he needs them no matter where the day takes him.
In our opinion, no meal is complete without a batch of deliciously hot tortillas, but it can be a pain warming up a bunch of them, especially if you don’t have the oven or stove space. So this microwaveable tortilla warmer is a total game changer: just pop your tortillas into the pouch and microwave! It’s way easier than heating each tortilla up individually and is perfect for hosting fiestas and dinner parties with hot, fresh tortillas all night long even if the stove and oven are otherwise occupied.
There are few gifts as simple but well-received as a good tee, which is why this classic T-shirt is an awesome gift for anyone who wants to rep their love of Trejo’s Tacos, Los Angeles, and everyone’s favorite character actor himself! The background is vintage blue and will match great with almost any outfit he puts together, and the yellow logo features the signature “Trejo’s Tacos: Hecho En Los Angeles” plus a picture of Danny’s face.
The best gifts for a significant other are the ones that show that you’ve truly taken note of their likes, interests, and hobbies. So if your boyfriend is a big fan of Danny Trejo (or action movies in general) and loves coffee, tacos, or any combination of the above, he’s going to love these gifts!
]]>College is pretty much synonymous with parties. But if you’re going to throw a party -- and especially if you’re going to be throwing it in a tiny dorm room owned by your university -- you’ll need to do a little preparation ahead of time.
If you’re living in campus housing, it’s likely that your dorm has plenty of rules they expect you to follow. So to avoid jeopardizing your position at your residence (or even getting in trouble with the university itself), brush up on the rules: check when quiet hours begin, familiarize yourself with alcohol rules, check how many visitors are allowed in your room at a time, et cetera. A little bit of forethought can go a long way here!
Nothing can throw someone off of their study game and have them filing an official complaint to your RAs quite like hearing people screaming next door. Especially if they had no clue that there was a party happening to begin with. Get cool with the neighbors in your building and keep them in the loop if you do plan to have a ton of people over so that they can prepare themselves -- and so that you can avoid awkward confrontations later.
Dorms are notoriously small spaces, and more often than not are just one small room with your and your roommates’ desks and beds. So it’s a good idea to keep the invite list as small as makes sense for your room. While random tag-a-longs are sometimes inevitable, this will keep down your guest list (and minimize your risk of running into trouble for exceeding the allowed guest count or noise levels).
Inviting a bunch of people into your room can sometimes be a recipe for disaster if you have a ton of valuables and a bunch of randoms visiting for the first time. Unless you’re absolutely sure that only your closest and most trusted circle is going to be around, stash your valuables and expensive stuff somewhere safe.
There’s almost nothing that says college party quite like a theme. So you might as well play it up! Set a theme for your party and tell your guests to dress accordingly. Some popular options include:
But feel free to get creative and think outside of the box based on your friend group’s interests. Then decorate your room accordingly. You obviously don’t have to go crazy here if you don’t have the time or the money: even just putting up balloons from a dollar store can set the scene and get the good vibes going.
Music is arguably the backbone of any party, so you’re definitely going to want to make sure that you have the right playlist to match. You can use a music app like Spotify or Apple Music to curate a list of some of your favorite bangers and start the party. Just make sure to watch the noise level if you’re concerned about your dorm staff or RA intervening.
Food and snacks aren’t always available at college parties. So if you want your party to stand out, make sure you’re providing some munchies for your friends! In addition to whatever beverages you’ll be providing, whip us some light eats that will be perfect for when those late-night cravings hit (PSA: check out Trejo’s Tacos Cookbook for food ideas that are fun, not boring).
Of course, some dorms are just not the right environment for throwing a loud party where people are yelling at bouncing off the walls. Particularly if your RA’s room is right down the hall. So if you’re just trying to keep it lowkey and chill, you can take inspiration from these quieter (but no less fun) ideas.
Few things bring friends together like a chill movie night, but you can take yours one step further by setting a theme; and having some beverages and games to go along with them. Some ideas that’ll get everyone laughing:
Bonus points for turning your movie night into a drinking game! And when it comes to movie nights, don’t forget the snacks (popcorn is a must).
Nothing says chill like a PJ party, but it can definitely still be a ton of fun. Have your friends dress in their favorite and most comfy PJs, but keep the party going with cocktails/mocktails, binge-worthy movies, and an assortment of your favorite junk foods.
When you think “college party,” game nights probably aren’t the first thing that come to mind. But you don’t have to bust out the Monopoly or Candyland just to keep your guests entertained. There are also plenty of games out there that are way more interesting (and better for keeping your friends’ attention). Think…never have I ever, truth or dare, flip cup, etc.
Throwing a dorm party can either be super chill or an all-out rager depending on your environment and your friends. Turn up the music (to a reasonable degree, it is a shared residence, after all) and have a great night!

]]>So we figured the best way to get to know more about the Latino action legend and OG badass is a game of truth or dare! Let’s play a quick game of truth or dare with fun facts about Danny Trejo to really get to know the man, the myth, and the legend behind those iconic movie scenes.
Danny isn’t just a Hollywood great -- he’s also the proud owner of several restaurants! The OG is Trejo’s Tacos in Los Angeles, which opened up in 2016 (and if you’re a real fan, you can rep it with this classic Trejo’s Tacos T-Shirt). He also opened Trejo’s Cantina and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts in 2017, so you can get a whopping serving of Danny’s favorite flavors no matter what kind of food or beverage you’re craving.
If you’ve ever been to a Trejo’s Taco location, you know that the hot sauce is a must. In fact, Danny loves hot sauce so much that he’s releasing a new flavor every year that kicks just as hard as the man himself! The 2022 version is a Trinidad Moruga Scorpion Pepper that adds a sweet, smoky, and spicy kick on everything from eggs to tacos -- but your mission today is to eat it straight up. Good luck and make sure to have some milk handy nearby to soothe the burn.
If you’re a big fan of Danny Trejo’s most iconic movies, you might have noticed a pattern: his characters are named after knives in a ton of them. Some characters he’s played that are named after these razor-sharp tools include:
So while you’re slicing and dicing in your own kitchen, pay homage to his sharpest characters with a Chef’s Apron featuring the OG himself.
If you really want to grab everyone’s attention with a dare, head out in the most color-clashing top and pants you own, then top it off with this multi-colored Parallel Lines Baseball Hat featuring a rubber Trejo’s Tacos logo. Wear it loud and proud out in public and get ready to have all eyes on you!
33! While he was working as a youth drug counselor in the 1980s, Trejo visited the set of the independent film Runaway Train and was recognized by Edward Bunker, the film’s screenwriter who was also a former convict who had served time with Trejo in San Quentin. Bunker remembered Trejo’s accomplishments as a lightweight and welterweight boxing champion in San Quentin and helped secure him the role as a supporting character -- and the rest was history.
Other notable accomplishments while he was in San Quentin includes receiving his high-school diploma and joining a 12-step program and becoming sober! But that didn’t stop Danny from starting a successful Cantina restaurant, and now you can try some of the recipes in Trejo’s Cantina Cookbook (signed by the man himself!) at home.
It’s no secret: Danny is in a lot of movies. In fact, on average, he’s starred in at least four films every single year since the 90s! That means that there are a ton of options to choose from when you’re pulling your all-nighter, and the action and laughs are probably enough to keep you going on their own from dusk ‘til dawn. But in case you need a little extra juice: grind up some of Trejo’s House Blend Whole Coffee 3-Pack and brew a couple of cups of strong, delicious coffee from the comfort of your own home. It’s the same coffee that’s served up in all of Danny’s Coffee & Donut shops, so you know it’s going to be good!
So many. So much so that while you’re ironing on patches from your favorite bands onto your favorite jacket, you might as well throw some Danny Trejo Patches on there as well.
Some of Danny’s most notable music video features include Burnin’ Up by The Jonas Brothers, Repentless by Slayer, Whistle Dixie by Travis Barker and Yelawolf, Angel In Blue Jeans by Train, Loco by Enrique Iglesias, and Norma and Jessica by SadGirl. His musical credits don’t end there: Mexican rock band Plastilina Mosh has a song aptly named “Danny Trejo” after him, and he even has a record label aptly named Trejo’s Music!
Danny is one of the most easily-recognized actors in Hollywood today, thanks in no small part to his iconic handlebar ‘stache. Use a skin-safe marker or makeup pencil to draw the iconic facial hair on your own face and then throw on a Trejo’s Tacos Hoodie so that everyone knows exactly where the inspiration came from.
From winning boxing championships in prison to becoming one of the world’s most iconic Latino actors, Danny Trejo has truly done it all; and he has the long, long list of film credits to prove it. Take inspiration from some of his most action-packed movies and do something a little daring today!
