Gustavo Arellano is the author of “Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America.” In 2012, he spoke with Evan about how Mexican food made inroads into the American mainstream.

We send our condolences to Gustavo, who recently lost his mother to ovarian cancer. He recently wrote for the LA Times about learning one of his mother’s most treasured recipes.
