Taco Chronicles — Episode Guide
Volume 1
- E1: Pastor (2019-07-11) — Savory, pork-based al pastor tacos are a street-food staple of Mexico City. But they actually have origins that stem back to ancient Asia Minor.
- E2: Carnitas (2019-07-11) — If you like tacos, you likely know carnitas. But did you know its roots go back to the Aztecs? Take a trip to Michoacán, the world’s carnitas capital.
- E3: Canasta (2019-07-11) — No matter the filling, canasta tacos are truly beloved. Get to know this street-food favorite and one of its most dynamic purveyors: Lady Basket Tacos.
- E4: Asada (2019-07-11) — From Tijuana to Hermosillo to Sonora to Downtown LA, carne asada reigns supreme. But the most flavorful meat is nothing without the perfect tortilla.
- E5: Barbacoa (2019-07-11) — Every time barbacoa is prepared, it starts in the same place: a big hole in the ground. It doesn’t get much more humble — or delicious — than that.
- E6: Guisado (2019-07-11) — With guisados tacos, it’s not just the meat — it’s the stew. We visit with some of the most notable "stew taco" cooks in both Mexico and Los Angeles.
Volume 2
- E1: Suadero (2020-09-15) — Urban and nocturnal, the suadero taco is the perfect hangover cure. It's the Mexican cousin to American beef brisket, but with more spice and bite.
- E2: Cochinita (2020-09-15) — The cochinita pibil is a Mayan pit-roasted pork delicacy, passed down over the centuries and preserved, even after colonization, like a sacred ritual.
- E3: Cabrito (2020-09-15) — The cabrito, or kid taco, springs from a goat herding tradition that can be traced to Iran and Lebanon. It's now become emblematic of northern Mexico.
- E4: American Taco (2020-09-15) — The American taco is, of course, an import — but much changed after assimilation! Distinguished by its hard or puffy shell, it's still delicious.
- E5: Burrito (2020-09-15) — The convenience of the burrito — a good-sized flour tortilla tucked in at both ends so nothing wrapped inside spills — is from Mexico's northern states.
- E6: Birria (2020-09-15) — To dunk or not to dunk? To spoon or not to spoon? The crucial aspect of the birria taco is its broth, a sumptuous blend of goat meat juices and spices.
- E7: Pescado (2020-09-15) — The best fish tacos come from the Mexican Pacific coast, with a nod to Japan for the crispy, tempura-like breading and emphasis on freshness.

- E2: Las Vegas (2022-11-23) — Everything in Las Vegas is spectacular: the shows, the hotels, the casinos… and the tacos. Pastor, birria, carnitas and even Cheetos are on the menu.

- E7: Phoenix (2022-11-23) — The connection between Phoenix and Sonora is as strong as the desert's heat. The ingredients of this land, like mesquite and chiltepin, elevated the taco.
