About this listen

In this episode, we explore the enduring legacy and global evolution of the taco. Beginning with its origins in ancient Mesoamerica, where indigenous peoples used maize tortillas as edible utensils, the taco has always been a practical and culturally rich food. We trace how the Spanish introduced new meats and seasonings that reshaped the taco, and how each region of Mexico developed its own unique style—from al pastor in Mexico City to fish tacos in Baja California.
