You can’t talk taco traditions or Texas culture without some spicy takes from Taco Journalist, author and El Paso native Mando Rayo. His hat – and his heart – don’t lie. Este hombre lives, loves, and definitely eats tacos, with as much appreciation for the history that's poured into them as the salsa that's poured on top. Join Mando on a taco tour of some of his Laredo Taco Company favorites in some of the most iconic cities in the Lone Star State.
