Listen Now

In his new book, Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America, Gustavo Arellano explores our national love affair with tacos, burritos, and tamales. Denver, he says, is home to the dish that best represents the Mexican-American experience. Arellano is editor of the Orange County Weekly and writes the syndicated "Ask a Mexican" column that appears in Westword. He talks to Ryan Warner.
