Snowed in in New York I record this solo episode with my sister-in-law Becky. We go over some recent Mexican eatings, I talk about finally eating the Naked Chicken Chalupa, and then I open the listener mailbag because I got some emails. Hey, why don't you send me an email at talkereltaco@gmail.com, too?

In this episode I visit Tacos No 1 with Renee Miller (Reparations Podcast) to try out their Queso Shell tacos and to discuss other taco innovations. Hilarity and brilliance ensue. Oh, and we also take a preliminary look at Taco Bell’s Naked Chicken Chalupa.
