Tacocity
Rob GokeeThe taco. We’ve all had one. It doesn’t matter where you live. Race, religion, diet. In the last few years, it’s become the new burger. In its simplest form in America, it’s meat, onions & cilantro in a tortilla. Host Rob Gokee, a Los Angeles native & author of the book Tacocity, takes you on a journey of not only taco discovery, but the people who took a chance, and in some cases risked everythin... more

- Loving It ... From PHX
I had this podcast in the queue for a while, and am now devouring episodes like carne asada tacos. There's an almost NPR-like quality to this, which is refreshing while you're sitting in Phoenix traffic, which I know, doesn't even compare to the LA variety, but still... I now have my taco hitlist for my next trip to CA thanks to Rob & Tacocity. Nice work!

Apple Podcasts5graciasenorUnited States7 years ago - Taco-bout Wonderful!
As a self-proclaimed taco romantic, I have my own personal affection for tacos and the background stories that make them taste all that much more 'sabroso'. One night, out of complete wonderment, I wanted to see if I could find something out there that I could listent to, instead of read, pertaining to tacos. I thought it was silly of me to even think to search for a podcast about tacos. But long and behold, there was TacoCity. Serendipty really.
I was overwhelmed with anxiousness to listen to... more

Everyone likes tacos. OK, I met one person in my life who claimed to not like tacos, but he was an idiot. My point is that this podcast will appeal to everyone.

Host Rob Gokee does a brilliant job at guiding you through the colorful backstories of the best taco makers in the country.

I love this dive into the stories behind the taquerias. Not only is it a slice of life about the people who make tacos for a living but a history of the influences, places and people surrounding the restaurants and how Rob Gokee (the host) experienced finding and dining at each place. I also love that there is a cooking segment. As you listen to the stories you can't help but want to eat the food. Rob then gives instructions so you can make your very own at home!
