Actor-turned-restauranteur Danny Trejo is hosting a taco crawl through Santa Monica on Tuesday, October 4. The event is intended for observers of National Taco Day, a dubious food holiday for some but a bona fide reason to celebrate for others. In addition to Trejo’s Tacos Santa Monica, the crawl includes neighboring taco slingers Tocaya Modern Mexican, Lanea, Blue Plate Taco, Socalo, Cabo Cantina, and Jameson’s Pub.
The event starts at 4 p.m. at Trejo’s Tacos Santa Monica, where participants can meet Trejo and grab a Taco Crawl punch card before embarking on the journey. Each stop will require diners to make a food or drink purchase in order to score a free taco. Find the details here.
