Book SynopsisWith authentic recipes, behind-the-scenes stories, and recommendations of where the locals eat, this is the indispensable guide to Texas's appetizingly diverse tacos and taco culture by the authors of Austin Breakfast Tacos.
Trade Review"Part travel guide, part-taco manual, part cultural history of the people and places that have shaped—and been shaped by—this divine dish, Mando Rayo and Jarod Neece have created a fun, stomach-growling romp of a book that is coming out at just the right moment. . . . [F]rom the opening pages of
The Tacos of Texas, it’s clear that this simple recipe belies a world of taco complexity with a deep multicultural history populated by some truly amazing characters." * The Daily Beast *
"[T]here is a bounty of tacos and this book is your best guide. . . . This is a big book with 440 pages of ideas, lore, fascination, and food. You can use this book even if you aren’t headed for Texas. But if you do have a trip planned there, grab a copy of this and some tacos when you land. This is variety Texas style. Big, bold, and sure to please." * Cooking by the Book *
