VIVIR UNIDOS, Conferencing y mas!

It’s been a little over 3 weeks since VIVIR UNIDOS. As soon as the event was over, I had to rush over to Cali (SF) to participate in the National Conference on Volunteering & Service to present the Community Engagement Toolbox and of course, sneak in some tacos!  My welcome back to Austin came in a form of…more work, this time with some face to face time with a teleprompter (via youth engagement video project) y mas Hispanic Engagement workshop planning.  So basically that means that I had very little time off. But oh well, gotta keep moving adelante right?

So here’s recap (in case you’re interested)…

Last month, Mike Sutter (Austin American Statesman’s Food Critic) & I hit the estreets looking for some good tacos! In fact, we were so committed in our search, our bellies took on 40ish tacos & 10 taquerias in our Tour de Tacos aventura! And now it has hit the interweb & tomorrow look for it on the cover of the Statesman’s XL. You’ll read about all the taco joints we hit up, meet the Taco Mafia (the Taco Journalists from TacoJournalism.com) & you’ll end up craving even more tacos!

Check out the story, blog post y photos!

Barbacoa! Al Pastor! Tacos, tacos!

More more more! Let’s call it Trailer-Vision, the superhuman ability to spot a taco truck from miles away. Read mas!

Tour de Tacos

Armando Rayo has a gift. He can spot a taco trailer from blocks away, before even the barest hint of it is visible to the untrained eye. Read mas!

Our Little Taco Safari

Most of you know that I heart tacos & I post all my taco cravings & escapades on TACOJOURNALISM.  Well, here’s yet another exciting adventure in tacos. Check out this TJ cross-post…

A few weeks ago we posted the Taco Safari on Dishola – Reviews by the Dish (which you can still view on their site).We wanted to post it on TJ now for your viewing pleasure (in case you missed it!).

Check it out….

For our first Dishola Food Safari, I wanted to tackle a food that was close to my heart – tacos of course. As a self-proclaimed Taco-Journalist (tacojournalism.com), I pride myself in knowing where to find the best tacos anywhere. So for this taco safari, I wrote down my go-to taquerias & taco trucks list, gathered a few good amigos & off we were to find the best Tacos Al Pastor in Austin, TX.

En El Mundo de Mando…

Years ago, my friend Patricia started calling me El Mundo de Mando.  Why?  Well, because it’s my world!  En El Mundo de Mando ay Hispanic/Latino culture, social change, volunteerism, nonprofits & causes, Community & Hispanic Engagement and let’s not forget the tacos!

It's Business Time

There’s definitely a lot more and I will be sharing my thoughts, knowledge, viewpoints on all things El Mundo de Mando…with a Si Se Puede attitude!

Hasta la Proxima!
