Tacos are life and cilantro is a choice. This is a storytelling show about the taco life. Having grown up in a taco truck, I can't help but think of life events and tie them to the experiences and lessons learned from parents who made tacos for a living. Tacos are my life. Tacos are my culture. I am the Proud Son of a Taquero and I invite you to a taco with me (digitally) and hope your day can be made better with some of the stories we tell!

<p class="MsoNormal">As I wrap up this podcast, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout our episodes. This podcast has been a reflection of my life, my family, and the lessons learned in our taco truck days. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">A special thanks goes to Stanford Florence (Flobama), Patrick Owen, and José Ralat, as they all helped me on pivotal paths to achieve many of these episodes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My siblings, Martha, Jose, Victor and Mike have not only contributed to the richness of our podcast but also profoundly shaped my identity as the proud son of taqueros.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Though my parents no longer run the taco truck, their legacy and passion fueled my voice and creativity. Their sacrifices inspired me to explore my own path, one that has led me to my amazing wife and without her, there is simply no podcast. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">With over 60,000 downloads and 97 episodes, every return visit from you echoed the loyalty of my parents' taco truck customers, a testament to the love and connection we've built. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for joining me on this adventure. This may be the end of the podcast, but the journey continues in new forms.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>TAQUOTE</strong>: “May you all keep flipping tortillas with your bare hands”</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My sister’s restaurant - <a href= "https://www.cantaritosrestaurantandbar.com/">Cantaritos Restaurant & Bar</a> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> <span style= "font-size: 10pt;"> 1530 Washington Blvd, Fremont, CA 94539</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><a href= "https://utpress.utexas.edu/9781477329368/">American Tacos: A History and Guide</a> by <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/tacotrailofficial/">José R.

<p class="MsoNormal">Recently, when I heard some white girl call her salsa ‘restaurant style home-made’ I was triggered to make a reaction video to call her out on her use of ‘catchy’ words to attract an audience. When I think about social media's influence, I wonder if I would have taken to promoting our food like so many do today, claiming we had the best tacos. </p> <p>On today’s episode, I tell you about what I call inappropriate motivations – when guided by bad intentions, you will likely yield negative results.</p> <p>I often reflect on the role my mother's fiery salsa played in our taco truck. Late-night customers, often a drunk off their assess, would line up for tacos, and we kept the extra spicy salsa separate to enhance their experience and possibly sober them back to reality. While there was no concrete evidence that the salsa sobered them up, their reactions—sweating and cursing yet still enjoying their food—indicated it was doing something right.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">My parents operated with humility, believing in the power of our food to speak for itself. They taught us that confidence doesn't require boastfulness, and I realize now how effective true sincerity can be in attracting customers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ultimately, I appreciate how my parents ran our taco business with a focus on genuine connections and continuously improving our offerings. They instilled in us the importance of gratitude and respect, which forged lasting relationships with our customers and helped build our reputation. This understanding of authenticity in business continues to resonate with me today as I honor their legacy.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><strong>TAQUOTE</strong>: “A tortilla has two sides”</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <h3><strong>Connect with Us</strong></h3> <p class="text-body"> <!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->subscribe <a href="http://www.tenthousandtacos.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.tenthousandtacos.com</a> or <a href="http://www.tacopodcast.com/">www.tacopodcast.com</a> [Website Link]</p> <p><!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]--><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/10ktacos/?hl=en">Instagram</a> <a href= "https://www.tiktok.com/@10ktacos?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc"> TikTok</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/10ktacos">twitter</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/10ktacos/">Facebook</a></p> <p><!-- [if !supportLists]-->· <!--[endif]-->Please let us know what you think of the show by sending us a note - <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">[email protected]</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> _________________________________________________</p>

<p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <h3>Episode Summary</h3> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thinking back four years to when the pandemic began is like rewatching a tough episode because it reminds us of how hard things were. Many people lost loved ones during that time. But it's also important to see that we made it through and are moving forward.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Even though we still face challenges from the pandemic, if we stop and ask ourselves, "Are things better now than during the pandemic?" I believe a lot of people would say yes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p> <p>It's like looking at how much we've improved since then and feeling hopeful about the future. We went through some really tough stuff, but we're getting stronger and making progress every day.</p> <p> </p> <p>This episode speaks about the questions we ask that serve us no real purpose. And it stems, for me, at least, from a time I'd been robbed while working in the taco truck.</p> <p> </p> <p>"Questions that Waste Time"</p> <p> </p> <p>What are the lessons I learned from the day someone took 5 dollars from my hand and ran away?</p> <p> </p> <h3><strong>Call to Action</strong></h3> <p class="text-body">If you found this episode helpful, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with friends.
