Trejo’s Tacos & Puttshack Partner to Launch Branded Restaurant Pop-Up at Flagship London Venue
10-Week Residency Brings Trejo’s Signature Cal-Mex Experience to Puttshack Bank
Trejo’s Tacos UK has partnered with premium social entertainment operator Puttshack to launch a fully branded Trejo’s Tacos pop-up at Puttshack’s flagship Bank venue – its inaugural site. The 10-week residency brings Trejo’s signature Cal-Mex food and cocktails to Puttshack’s flagship Bank venue, introducing guests to a new dining experience within one of London’s leading social entertainment destinations.
Puttshack has become one of the world’s leading competitive socialising brands, combining its proprietary tech-enabled mini golf experience with award-winning food and cocktails to create a premium entertainment destination. The collaboration pairs Puttshack’s experience-led hospitality model with Trejo’s authentic Californian-Mexican cuisine.
Launching from September 2026, the Trejo’s Tacos pop-up will transform a dedicated space within Puttshack Bank into an authentic Trejo’s Tacos experience, bringing together the brand’s signature Californian-Mexican menu with its vibrant cocktail offering. Alongside Puttshack’s award-winning food and beverage programme and tech-enabled mini golf experience, the collaboration has been designed to deliver a fully immersive hospitality experience that encourages guests to eat, drink and socialise under one roof.
The curated menu will showcase some of Trejo’s best-loved dishes, including Carnitas, OG Battered Fish, Spicy Shrimp, Fried Chicken and Mushroom Asada tacos, alongside Street Corn, Chips & Guacamole and Chips with Assorted Salsa. Guests will also be able to enjoy a selection of the brand’s signature cocktails, bringing the laid-back spirit of Los Angeles to the heart of the City.
As part of the 10-week residency, Trejo’s Tacos and Puttshack will host a programme of immersive events designed to bring the brand to life beyond the plate. Highlights will include a VIP launch party, Day of the Dead celebrations and an exclusive film screening with Danny Trejo, followed by a live audience Q&A. The events programme reflects Trejo’s established approach to creating memorable, community-driven experiences, while complementing Puttshack’s position as a destination for social entertainment.
The residency provides both brands with an opportunity to showcase how a premium restaurant concept can complement an immersive entertainment experience. Throughout the activation, Puttshack will prepare Trejo’s food and beverage offering using proprietary recipes, with ongoing support from the Trejo’s Tacos UK team to help ensure consistency and quality.
The collaboration reflects a broader trend across hospitality, with operators increasingly seeking premium branded food partnerships to enhance guest experiences, increase dwell time and create compelling reasons for consumers to visit.
Jerome Armit, Co-CEO of Trejo’s Tacos UK, said: “Since opening our first international restaurant on Portobello Road, we’ve seen just how well our authentic Cal-Mex food and cocktail offering resonate with British diners. Trejo’s has always been about more than great food—it’s about creating an atmosphere where people come together through food, drinks and culture. Puttshack shares that philosophy, making it the ideal partner for this residency. Together we’re creating an experience that gives guests plenty of reasons to return throughout the 10 weeks, from the food and cocktails to a programme of events that celebrates everything the Trejo’s brand stands for.”
Laura Duffy, Marketing Director of Puttshack UK, added: “Great food and cocktails have always been central to the Puttshack experience, and partnering with Trejo’s Tacos allows us to introduce guests to an internationally recognised dining concept that complements our entertainment offering. We’re excited to welcome Trejo’s to our Bank venue this autumn and give guests a unique new way to experience both brands.”
Following the successful launch of its first international restaurant in London’s iconic Portobello Road, Trejo’s Tacos UK has established itself as a leading destination for authentic Californian-Mexican (‘Cal-Mex’) food and drinks. The two-storey Notting Hill restaurant combines traditional Mexican recipes with the vibrant flavours and laid-back culture of Southern California, bringing Danny Trejo’s celebrated Los Angeles concept to the UK market. Since opening, the restaurant has built a loyal following for its fresh, flavour-led menu, margaritas, relaxed hospitality and distinctive brand identity, becoming a popular destination for locals, visitors and group occasions alike
Founded by Hollywood actor, restaurateur and bestselling author Danny Trejo, the Trejo’s Tacos brand has grown into one of California’s best-known restaurant concepts, with six locations across Los Angeles and an expanding international presence. The Puttshack collaboration represents another opportunity to introduce the brand to new audiences in the UK through an innovative hospitality activation. The partnership will be supported by a joint marketing campaign across both brands, with dedicated input from Danny Trejo during the residency.
Founded in 2018, Puttshack has transformed mini golf through its patented Trackaball™ technology, creating an interactive, tech-enabled experience that sits alongside a premium food and beverage offer. With four UK venues and 19 across the US, the business continues to expand internationally, positioning high-quality hospitality at the heart of its guest experience.
The Trejo’s Tacos pop-up at Puttshack Bank will open from 15th September 2026 for an initial ten-week residency.
