Bonus: Paprika ATX: When a Taquero stands up for his communities

Today we’re live at Paprika ATX for the Tacos of Texas Wrap Party in Austin. In this bonus episode of Tacos of Texas, we talk to Margarito “Mago” Perez, owner of the Paprika on what it takes to go from a taco truck to a full on brick and mortar taquería. We’ll also dig into what it means to stand up for your own community because of the ICE and immigration raids.

The Filipino Guey

They say that Filipinos are the Mexicans of Asia. From the adobo and the chicharrones, to cultural traditions, we share an overlap in our identities. In this episode, we bond with our Filipino primos Isabel Protomartir (host of Identity Productions show Até) and Ralph Xavier Degala (Master Chef Season 9). We discuss how Filipino culture is thriving in Texas and the tasty tacos that come with it.
