WHO’S HÉCTOR?

Our Origin Story

It all started on a warm morning in San Diego…

California hits different. Bright lights, blue skies, beach vibes — sure, it’s great.
But let’s be honest… we were there for the tacos.

Cali took Mexican food and made it louder, bolder, fresher, hotter. Forget the sun — this is what Norway’s been missing.

Trondheim knows good food. Trondheim knows how to party.
But a place that does both? Nah. Not yet.
So we made it happen.

In October 2020, Héctor came to life — born from a deep love of Cali-Mex flavor and fiesta vibes.

We brought the tacos. Then came the balcony, the street-style al fresco eats, the yellow food truck, the DJs, the chaos, the cocktails, the late nights, the "I-can’t-believe-this-is-Trondheim" moments.

And guess what? We’re just getting started.

Stay tuned. It’s about to get even wilder.

It all began In Trondheim. With a dream of Tacos, Cocktails & Fiestas

Inspired by California & Mexico - Made in Norway
