I&#8217;m tired of hearing that Latinos and Latinas are the &#8220;hardest workers&#8221; because of some biological gene or cultural trait.  Historically agricultural employers attributed Latino worker preference for farm labor, not because of economic necessity, but because they were genetically &#8220;built lower to the ground,&#8221; it was supposedly &#8220;easier for them to stoop.&#8221; More [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=josemalamillo.wordpress.com&blog=2598478&post=47&subd=josemalamillo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I was reading the L.A. Times editorial about new estrictions on Taco Trucks in the L.A. area and was thinking about why I prefer taco trucks over full service Mexican restaurants. Apart form the more intimate connection between the cook and customer, I enjoy the conversations around the taco truck.

Taco Bell is returning to Mexico. Fifteen years ago Taco Bell attempted to enter the Mexican market but failed. Now the company is trying a new marketing strategy. Taco Bell does not proclaim itself as &#8220;taqueria&#8221; that sells authentic Mexican tacos, rather they sell American fast-food style &#8220;tacotostadas&#8221; (folded tostadas) with french fries.  Despite this item [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=josemalamillo.wordpress.com&blog=2598478&post=29&subd=josemalamillo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
