Coming to Queens. ✨🌮✨
Coming soon #TacoLiteracy in #Chicago with @makelit = poetry 📖, tacos 🌮, fuego 🔥
Elote they call 'street corn' before catching the plane back to #nyc. Good times #LA
Bean burro, not burrito. That's what we call these in Southern AZ. #AlAndBeas bean burro was familiar: red salsa, mashed frijoles with cheese, I suspect milk too (Alvarez trick) to get them real creamy. Reminded me of Sal's Market, one of my middle school haunts for burros like this one. Didn't try the green chile, but save that for next time. 🌯 #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
Scenes from El Mercado. #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
Gente, this: @mariscosjalisco with the ceviche, aguachile, and shrimp taco, left us like, cheeeeeeeeng. With that Bourdain tribute, I knew we were in for the sazón. #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
To #KingTaco number uno. An all-meat carne asada burrito in honor of Señor Martinez.
Concha ice cream sandwich, er, torta. Line was out the door for @horchateriarl
Another stop on the #SoCal #tacoliteracy pilgrimage to @laguelaguetza. The America's Classic recognition by James Beard, the medal hanging in the entrance. Yes, the mole negro blew me away, and yes the chocolate too. But being here was special because, as always, another meal shared with my ♥ and partner Dra. Sara Alvarez where we could say to one another, good god our lives are blessed.
No words . . . yet, but the mole negro at @laguelaguetza shook me. The taste of toasted avocado leaves, oh dios. 🥑
In about a year, Profe Casey Kelly & I will be co-leading the foodways rhetorics workshop at the Rhetoric Society of America summer institute. Nos vemos! https://rhetoricsociety.org/aws/RSA/pt/sd/news_article/171973/_blank/layout_details/false
Sweet baby Quetzalcoatl! The best bread pudding ever at @masaofechopark - chocolate, banana, and croissant. 🤤
Continuing the pilgrimage at @guisados in #EastLos so I went with the six-taco sampler: chicharrón, chuleta en chile verde, cochinita pibil, chorizo, bistek en salsa roja, & pollo en mole poblano. God bless. #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
The Thai tamal. Taro-filled sticky rice. This one was grilled, the steamed was equally 🔥.
@burritoslapalma with the best burritos in #OrangeCounty. Chingón owner Albert Bañuelos making #Zacatecas proud with the birria de res game, but the flour tortillas are what stole my ♥. If you go, try the birria quesadilla.
You know it's going to be a good day when you start it with birria, chicharrón, & tinga. The comidas wisdom of maestro @gustavo_arellano strikes again.
California.
Serious, serious micheladas at @altabajamarket in downtown #SantAna. La Chiquita & LA mera mera along with a green chorizo torta made for thirsty, torta Thursday.
Possibly the happiest güey at #KingTaco in #LongBeach ever. Part of the #tacoliteracy pilgrimage to the motherland.
Ooooooh ✨🌮✨
