Taco USA

The nationally syndicated columnist and bestselling author of `ยกAsk a Mexican!` presents a fascinating and tasty trip through the history and culture of Mexican food in this country, uncovering great stories and charting the cuisine`s tremendous popularity in el Norte. Arellano`s fascinating narrative combines history, cultural criticism, food writing, personal anecdotes, and Jesus on a tortilla. In seemingly every decade for over a century, America has tried new culinary trends from south of the border, loved them, and demanded the next big thing. As a result, Mexican food dominates American palates to the tune of billions of dollars in sales per year, from canned refried beans to tortilla wraps and ballpark nachos. It`s a little-known history, one that`s crept up on this country and left us better for it.
