What is Hugo's Tacos and what does it have to do with Hugo's?

As all ideas do, Hugo’s Tacos started as a gleam in Tom Kaplan and Rich Brenner’s eyes, sometime in the 1990’s.  It became a reality in 2005, with Bill Kohne’s encouragement and expertise, when we opened our first Studio City location.

As an offshoot of Hugo’s Restaurant, Hugo’s Tacos offers a South-of-the-Border cuisine with healthy options.  Chef Nabor Diaz Prado used family recipes, re-created taste memories and traditions, fused with his experiences at, and ideas from, Hugo’s.  In “translating” the dishes, he began with the abundance of regional ingredients available in Southern California - the same way he would start in Mexico, if he were cooking there, using the ingredients on hand to create.

Mexican cuisine is by nature a “fusion” cuisine, having incorporated Spanish, French, German, North American, and even Middle Eastern influences over the centuries – most of those influences in evidence on Hugo’s Tacos’ menu.  The Hugo’s twist is just one more addition to the cuisine’s ever-expanding development.
