Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

Taco is a deep dive into the most iconic Mexican food from the perspective of a Mexico City native. In a narrative that moves from Mexico to the United States and back, Sanchez Prado discusses the definition of the taco, the question of the tortilla and the taco shell, and the existence of the taco as a modern social touchstone that has been shaped by history and geography.

Challenging the idea of centrality and authenticity, Sanchez Prado shows instead that the taco is a contemporary, transcultural food that has always been subject to transformation.
