Mando Rayo is a taco journalist and the co-creator of the United Tacos of America TV show, host of the Tacos of Texas podcast (now in its fifth season), and author of The Tacos of Texas book. As an avid taco ambassador, food explorer and street ethnographer, Mando has traveled across the U.S. to uncover the tastiest tacos, from the Rio Grande Valley in Texas to L.A. and from New Orleans to New York City. Mando was also a James Beard Foundation Awards finalist in 2022. He will be in conversation with Texas Center for the Book Coordinator Michele Chan Santos.

Join us for a fun conversation about all things taco! (Note: we will not have food at the event).
