Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts Date Sweetened Horchata

Horchata Los Angeles

Trejo's Coffee & Donuts takes a different approach to donuts...and horchata.

Danny Trejo is the L.A. native who’s best known for movies like “From Dusk Till Dawn” and “Machete.” One day, he may be best remembered for a restaurant empire. He and business partners Ash Shah and Jeff Georgino have a growing Trejo’s Tacos business, Trejo’s Cantina in Pasadena, and Trejo’s Coffee & Donuts. Their corner dessert concept features donuts from pastry chef Dianne Crame in creative flavors like nacho and Margarita, plus fun drinks.

Horchata is the rice milk drink that’s nearly as ubiquitous as water at taquerias. Horchata gets added dimension here. Their Date Sweetened Horchata ($5) blends rice milk, nutty almond milk, dates, lemon peel, and a cinnamon dusting. They serve the drink over ice, which is necessary this summer on a hot pink Hollywood corner.
