Discover the flavors of Mexican street food in your own kitchen

Americans are having a love affair with the taco. What began as affection for the fast-food version--that hard yellow shell filled with ground beef and mysterious yellow cheese--has blossomed into an all-out obsession for the real thing, with upscale renditions and taco trucks popping up from coast to coast.

Now, with Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales, chef Roberto Santiba ez shows you how to recreate the thrilling, authentic flavors of the taquerias of Mexico in your own home. In addition to tacos, the book also explores the equally exciting Mexican sandwiches called tortas and hearty tamales, as well as salsas, condiments, fresh juices, and even desserts and refreshing margaritas.

  • Author Roberto Santiba ez is also the author of Rosa's New Mexican Table and Truly Mexican, as well as the chef and owner of Fonda restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan
  • Santiba ez's Truly Mexican was chosen as a New York Times Notable Cookbook of 2011
  • Using easy-to-find ingredients and simple techniques, this is the perfect introduction to real Mexican cooking for enthusiastic beginners and experienced cooks alike

While the flavors you'll find here are exciting and complex, the cooking itself is anything but complicated. With Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales on your kitchen shelf, dinner will never be dull again.

JUST BUY IT!!! Finally found what I was looking for
This is the first time I have ever written a review - THATS how good this product is!! It smells like vanilla bean ice cream, it is so deliciously sweet and fragrant. I have been searching for something that leaves a strong yet natural scent on the skin and this is it. It makes me feel like a sweet and soft ethereal fairy princess and is so so so moisturizing on the skin. My bf loves it and has pointed out multiple times how soft my skin is just from a few uses I use it right out of the shower while my skin is still a bit wet. It is lightweight enough where it dries quickly enough for me to put my pajamas on without greasy-ness. I'm at work the morning after and can still lightly smell it on myself If you're looking for a sign - this is it - JUST BUY IT!!! :)

Light, Hydrating, and Non-Greasy — Perfect Everyday Body Oil
I purchased this body oil a little over a week ago, and overall, I have nothing but positive things to say about the product itself. The only complaint I have is with the packaging. When my order arrived, some of the oil had leaked in the box. The bottle doesn’t come with a separate cap—just a twist/lock feature that can easily come loose. Because of that, it must have unlocked during transit, causing a small amount of product loss. Luckily, it wasn’t bad enough for me to feel the need to return it. As for the oil itself—it’s lovely. The scent is light and pleasant, nothing overpowering. While I don’t pick up a strong vanilla note once it’s on my skin, it has a smooth texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy residue. It’s very hydrating, and the bottle size feels generous for the price. If you’re looking for something heavily fragranced, this might not be the one for you, but it’s perfect as a layering oil or for anyone who wants a subtle, nourishing glow. Highly recommend!

Just Buy It
This smells AMAZING! The body butter smells amazing too but the oil smells so much like the Vanilla Amber Sand+Fog oil perfume. I’m so glad I have all three and went ahead and picked up some Vanilla body wash. My kids said I smelled like a bakery all day. I couldn’t stop sniffing my arm and clothes the scent sticks and such a wonderful combination to my perfumes that has vanilla notes. Also, makes your skin feel awesome after a shower. It’s not so greasy after application and gives your skin a beautiful glow in the light. BUY IT!

This is the most luxurious feeling, delicious smelling oil I've ever used! I love this one and the cocoa butter one was well, leaves my skin feeling nourished and incredibly soft!

Size: 6 Pairs - 6 Colors Assorted
Works great for myself & hub! I bought them mostly for him because his feet are wrecked, but it’s a 6 pack, so yay me. The cushiony heel was a bonus I didn’t expect, so nice + comfortable to sleep in- usually hate sleeping in socks but since your toes are free, these do not bug at all. Definitely get these
