'Tacos Chronicles' And Their Endless Cravings
Netflix

Like everyone else, I spend my summer break from school binge-watching shows on Netflix.

Like every Mexican, I am constantly craving tacos.

What do you do when you combine both? You get Netflix's new documentary "Taco Chronicles" that will satisfy all of your taste buds and also have you craving tacos from a corner in Mexico more than anything.

The episodes range from asada to guisado in its only six episodes. Not only that, but they also take you to different parts of Mexico to learn more about their origin and every episode includes crash courses of how these tacos came to be.

The best thing about the whole show is the narrator's voice. It's not a typical voice perspective that you would hear in any traditional documentary. It is speaking from the point of view of the taco, which just makes you feel that much more connected to it.

A popular taco and episode amongst many is the asada episode that takes you on a trip from Tijuana to Hermosillo to Sonora to Downtown LA. Not only does it talk about the meat, but also the most essential part of every taco, the tortilla.

The series also brings a lot of nostalgia for people like me.

Highlighting tacos you find on a street corner reminds me hitting up taco stands at 2 a.m. with my cousins or friends after a long night out at the town, stuffing our faces with five tacos and a cold soda in a glass bottle. Or the tacos de canasta that you find on a basket attached to the back of a bike that makes a quick breakfast snack as you are walking around Mexico City on a beautiful morning.

There is no doubt that after watching this documentary, you will be left with a desire to make a trip to eat these tacos.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
