10,000 TACOS®

Tacos are life and cilantro is a choice. This is a storytelling show about the taco life. Having grown up in a taco truck, I can't help but think of life events and tie them to the experiences and lessons learned from parents who made tacos for a living. Tacos are my life. Tacos are my culture. I am the Proud Son of a Taquero and I invite you to a taco with me (digitally) and hope your day can be made better with some of the stories we tell!

Street Food @ Home

In today’s episode, we take a bit of a different approach. We’ve talked about making tacos but from the truck’s perspective. Today we tell you a little bit about the food the truck used to bring home. This episode was inspired because I remember what my friends would say every time they would come over to eat. And that was, “Dude, where did you get this food - from what restaurant?” My friends did not realize that my mother would make this food and that it was from the food truck’s day’s run. Wh...

Little Taco Syndrome

We begin by introducing LTS. LTS stands for “Little Taco Syndrome” or also known as “Little Man Syndrome” and the “Napoleon complex.” Isidro himself has dealt with being “vertically challenged” and was the object of teasing as an adolescent. With the help of the lessons learned from his family's taco truck, he went from being a cute little kid standing on a milk crate to an adult that understands how important it is to treat people the same no matter what we perceive their limitations may be. Th...

Stung by too many Tacos!

“Slow down! You are eating so fast!” If you have ever heard this statement before, this episode is for you. It’s easy to eat fast when you are preoccupied, rushed or just really into your food and can’t hold back the excitement of the beautiful taco before you. Or maybe you are like Isidro, who even ate fast because of a sibling rivalry and once clocked in at scarfing a whole burrito in 32 seconds. Those in the restaurant and service industry can also relate, as you have sometimes just a few min...

Carne Asada

Today’s episode features the great “meat on a grill,” or as we know it, carne asada! The carne asada taco represents many good things to Isidro as we hope it does for you as well. This was the most popular dish that his family sold through their taco truck, and the time and attention they took when preparing it for their customers folded into his tight family unit and strong bond. Even if you don’t have a family tie with carne asada, it can be a time to make a fresh and tasty dish with loved one...

The Perfect Taco

As we mentioned in our introductory episode that we'd be talking about the perfect taco. In today's episode, we ask, "Is there such a thing as the perfect taco?" We give our opinion, but more importantly, we uncover why some people think there is such a thing. We finish off with what I think comes close to how the tacos our family used to make. This familiarity with how they used to make them only to find out the perfect taco is not a taco at all. At least not by itself! TAQUOTE : "The Perfect T...

Welcome to 10,000 Tacos Podcast

Welcome to the 10,000 Tacos Podcast! This is a podcast about, you guessed it, tacos! Maybe even the occasional tortas, enchiladas or chile relleno, but tacos are the reason we are here. Isidro’s family sacrificed tremendously so that himself and his family could have the best life possible, and this podcast is just one way of sharing the gratitude he has for all their hard work, heart and ganas. Isidro has been immersed in the world of tacos since he was a child. His family purchased a food truc...
