description
eloped in the United States, now revised and expanded, this book is the definitive survey that American taco lovers must have for their own taco explorations.

"Everything a food history book should be: illuminating, well-written, crusading, and inspiring a taco run afterwards. You'll gain five pounds reading it, but don't worry--most of that will go to your brain."--Gustavo Arellano, Los Angeles Times

"[Ralat] gives an in-depth look at each taco's history and showcases other aspects of taco culture that has solidified it as a go-to dish on dinner tables throughout the nation."--Smithsonian Magazine

"A fascinating look at America's many regional tacos. . . . From California's locavore tacos to Korean 'K-Mex' tacos to Jewish 'deli-Mex' to Southern-drawl 'Sur-Mex' tacos to American-Indian-inspired fry bread tacos to chef-driven 'moderno' tacos, Ralat lays out a captivating landscape."--Houston Chronicle

"You'll learn an enormous and entertaining amount about [tacos] in . . . American Tacos. . . . The book literally covers the map of American tacos, from Texas and the South to New York, Chicago, Kansas City and California."--Forbes

"An impressively reported new book . . . a fast-paced cultural survey and travel guide . . . American Tacos is an exceptional book."--Taste
