Taco de Prof. Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado

Taco: Object Lessons

Autor Prof. Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 oct 2025
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

Taco is a deep dive into the most iconic Mexican food from the perspective of a Mexico City native. In a narrative that moves from Mexico to the United States and back, Sánchez Prado discusses the definition of the taco, the question of the tortilla and the taco shell, and the existence of the taco as a modern social touchstone that has been shaped by history and geography.

Challenging the idea of centrality and authenticity, Sánchez Prado shows instead that the taco is a contemporary, transcultural food that has always been subject to transformation.

Recenzii

Starting with a tour of Mexico City taco shops, this book takes us so much farther, to Los Angeles and Monterrey, of course, but also to Berlin and Seoul. Ignacio Sánchez Prado serves up tradition and modernity, memory and authenticity, politics and identity, all wrapped in a fresh tortilla with plenty of salsa.
This book is both a fantastic crónica across a diverse global tacoscape, and an introduction to the vast knowledge of a master tacólogo. Sánchez Prado has written a book to be reflected on and savored, preferably with a taco, either basic or elevated.
In his taco tour de force, Ignacio Sánchez Prado pays homage to a beloved childhood food and a Mexican culinary icon. He moves beyond well-worn debates about authenticity and tradition to demonstrate how the taco was a central feature of a uniquely Mexican modernity.
