Description
A collection of recipes for fun, accessible taqueria fare--including colorful salsas, tasty snacks, irresistible cocktails, and of course tacos galore--from the wildly popular San Francisco restaurants and acclaimed Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market food stand, Tacolicious. Tacos may be the most universally loved, happy-making food on earth. After all, who can say no to a juicy, spicy Chile verde taco; a decadently deep-fried Baja-style fish taco; or a gloriously porky Carnitas taco? At Tacolicious, the San Francisco Bay Area's most popular Mexican restaurant, tacos are a way of life. And now, in this hotly anticipated cookbook, co-owner Sara Deseran shares all of the restaurant's tortilla-wrapped secrets. Whether you're seeking quick and easy weeknight meals or inspiration for a fabulous fiesta, Tacolicious has you covered. With recipes for showstopping salsas, crave-worthy snacks, cocktails and mocktails, and, of course, tacos galore, this festive collection is chock-full of real Mexican flavor--with a delicious California twist.Product Details

Reviews
"The restaurant Tacolicious doesn't take itself too seriously. I love it for that. From delightfully non-traditional recipes such as chile con queso to Yucatán salsas with serious street cred, Tacolicious unapologetically combines Californian and Mexican influences. It may not be 'classic' Mexican, but who cares? It's tasty stuff."
--Jake Godby, co-owner of Humphry Slocombe "Tacolicious makes consistently delicious Mexican food and solid cocktails, and now with this book, home cooks can do the same. Things I crave: their deliciously minty salsa, carnitas tacos topped with bright cilantro and white onion, and--true confession--their chile con queso dip. Let's call it my guilty pleasure."
--Michael Tusk, chef/owner of Quince and Cotogna "Tacolicious is my favorite after-work snack and tequila stop, and this cookbook lets readers who aren't lucky enough to live in the neighborhood recreate the restaurant experience in their own homes."
