Not only did I enjoy reading this romance novel, but I also enjoyed its representation! The author did a very good job explaining the importance of Mariachis in Mexican culture and did an outstanding job writing a story about the loss of a loved one and the journey of grief.
Rafael must come to terms with his favorite person's death, his abuelo, while also moving, leaving his school’s Mariachi band where he’s their superstar. Rey, the boy he briefly met, now stands in the way of him headlining the group. Even though both boys fight their feelings, it shines between them. Will Rafie ruin his chance at true love, or is winning the most important goal of all? Read or listen to this exquisitely read audiobook that deals with life, love, mental health, and more for an experience you won't soon forget.
Mariachis always sing love songs, so what happens when two fall for each other? The plot is resolved intelligently and sensitively. Some hot scenes.
A hilarious memoir about the author's family traveling to Mexico to get his grandfather. Latinos will laugh and relate to some of the experiences (given name vs. American-style name) while everyone with siblings will relate to the sibling relationships. Pedro is able to learn and connect with the grandfather that he had heard so much about but barely knew. Pedro is also able to learn more about himself, what makes him Mexican or not Mexican enough and about his family.
A beautifully photographed cookbook that celebrates the vibrant culture and community of El Salvador through 80 recipes and stories from twenty-five Salvadoran women.
There are Mexidan fast-food franchises all over the United States, and although the food does not resemble anything traditional, Americans love to eat at these places. Gustavo Arellano states that Mexican food is not new to the United States, and gives us some history of how this came about. In addition he rates some of the best Mexican restaurants, cafes and dives throughout the country.
