Stef Soto, Taco Queen


















What a wonderful breath of fresh air!!!

Stef is a second generation Latino whose overprotective parents have a taco trick - Tia Perla.  Stef has a love, hate relationship with Tia Perla.  Yes, it is their livelihood, and she loves the food and how it makes her dad happy.  But it is a bit worn and lately a former friend has been teasing her about it.  But when the local government threatens to enforce new regulations she starts to understand how important Tia Perla is to her family.

I think what I liked most about this book was that the author didn't take the cutesy, easy way out.  At one point a celebrity eats at the taco truck.  I thought the book was going to go a certain way at that point (no spoilers) but it didn't which made it much more authentic and charming actually.
