Trump, Taco Bowls and Tacups

Hosted by

On Cinco de Mayo, Donald Trump went big on social media. "I love Hispanics!" he tweeted with a snapshot of what he called a taco bowl from the Trump Tower Grill. Not surprisingly, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's political maneuverings ignited a furor online, especially among Latinos. Trump's move got us wondering what place the taco bowl holds in Mexican food. So we asked Gustavo Arellano, editor of the OC Weekly and host of KCRW's Orange County Line, to weigh in. He covers the subject in his book Taco USA.

Music: "Crack a bottle" (instrumental) by Eminem, featuring Dr. Dre and 50 Cent
