title: Tacolicious: Festive Recipes for Tacos, Snacks, Cocktails, and More
author:  Sara Deseran 
description: The restaurant Tacolicious doesnt take itself too seriously. I love it for that. From delightfully non-traditional recipes such as <i>chile con queso</i> to Yucatn salsas with serious street cred, <i>Tacolicious</i> unapologetically combines Californian and Mexican influences. It may not be classic Mexican, but who cares? Its tasty stuff. <br /><i></i>Jake Godby, co-owner of Humphry Slocombe<br /><br /> Tacolicious makes consistently delicious Mexican food and solid cocktails, and now with this book, home cooks can do the same. Things I crave: their deliciously minty salsa, <i>carnitas</i> tacos topped with bright cilantro and white onion, andtrue confessiontheir <i>chile con queso</i> dip. Lets call it my guilty pleasure.<br /><i></i>Michael Tusk, chef/owner of Quince and Cotogna<br /><br /> Tacolicious is my favorite after-work snack and tequila stop, and this cookbook lets readers who arent lucky enough to live in the neighborhood recreate the restaurant experience in their own homes.<br /><i></i>Craig Stoll, chef/owner of Delfina
