Americans are having a love affair with the taco. What began as affection for the fast-food version--that hard yellow shell filled with ground beef and mysterious yellow cheese--has blossomed into an all-out obsession for the real thing, with upscale renditions and taco trucks popping up from coast to coast.

Now, with Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales, chef Roberto Santiba ez shows you how to recreate the thrilling, authentic flavors of the taquerias of Mexico in your own home. In addition to tacos, the book also explores the equally exciting Mexican sandwiches called tortas and hearty tamales, as well as salsas, condiments, fresh juices, and even desserts and refreshing margaritas.

  • Author Roberto Santiba ez is also the author of Rosa's New Mexican Table and Truly Mexican, as well as the chef and owner of Fonda restaurants in Brooklyn and Manhattan
  • Santiba ez's Truly Mexican was chosen as a New York Times Notable Cookbook of 2011
  • Using easy-to-find ingredients and simple techniques, this is the perfect introduction to real Mexican cooking for enthusiastic beginners and experienced cooks alike

While the flavors you'll find here are exciting and complex, the cooking itself is anything but complicated. With Tacos, Tortas, and Tamales on your kitchen shelf, dinner will never be dull again.

Great value for the price
Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo
I have gotten smaller versions of this Lamb chop, my dog has loved them all the same but this one is great. It's big enough for him to carry around and it lasts a lot longer since he likes to tear them up fast.

This version is ok, but NOT for my boy-The 24in Jumbo version is the perfect toy for Kota-Ghost.
Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo, Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo
Adorable & nice but... I hate writing adverse reviews but I had to for this one. It lasted exactly 1 minute. 30 seconds of that was Ghost pulling the rest of the stuffing out to completely gut this Lambie. I know what happened-The material on the chest and the little red buttons were the issue. Cute as it may be, that material is terrible. My Great Pyrenees/AmStaff/Golden Retriever Mix boy, Kota-Ghost, very rarely tears his stuffy squeaky toys up. He is only 7 months old and has only shown interest in tearing something up if it was already broken(had an existing rip or tear)This is only the 2nd or 3 toy he has torn up in his whole life(and he literally has at least 30 stuffy toys(some left by my sweet Bella--she passed away in March but most are brand new because when I saw he wasn't a Destructo-Dog, I went a bit overboard buyin him stuffies-So much that my Hubs was not happy with me but he was secretly glad I did it😈.) See my review for the Jumbo Lambchop toy-That toy was and IS quite possibly the best stuffed squeaky toy available for bigger dogs. Only the MultiPet brand Jumbo tho-There are other brands that arent great. You can tell by the materials used on the face of the real Jumbo 24 inch ones from MultiPet. The Jumbo was a much better experience for us! I have also ordered the smaller one for him becuz he really wants the cat's lambie toy too. They have the 6 inch, not the "cat toy" version and they(and Ghost)love it. No one tears it up. I'll review it once his is delivered because while I know he doesnt rip the 6 inch one apart it is technically the cat's toy(not his) and we usually make him give it back to them pretty quickly. Ill review it when he gets his own & is allowed to do whatever he chooses. Hopefully he will treat it like Jumbo Lambie...Ok well, maybe not exactly that way cuz...Well, Lets just say he gets very, erhmm, frisky with his Jumbo Lambie. He doesnt like when we wash her but we do. Unfortunately he tries to take her outside in the dirt and/or in the pool with him. I will mention that more in my review for Jumbo Lambie. As for this standing up version-It MIGHT be fine for your dog or cat but it definitely was not durable for my Ghostie. It is a good size for a smaller/medium sized dog but definitely not good for puppies & especially those that still have their deciduous(milk/needle)teeth and not for even light to moderate chewers due to the material on the chest. That's what made Ghost tear his up. He nicked it with his teeth, a hole formed and that was apparently his cue to rip the squeaker out & tear the poor toy to shreds-He did have fun doing it tho. Haha. For some dogs this toy might be great fun. It is definitely a great brand and the jumbo version is Ghost's fave toy of all time. Pricing on all of MultiPet's dog toys are amazing and I hope they stay that way! We keep several of the Jumbo Lambies here in case one "goes swimming" so we can wash it and he has one to carry/cuddle or in case one gets temporarily left behind somewhere cuz he wants to take it everywhere he goes. We let him bring her along except for on walks

My Dobermans favorite toy to destroy, and one of our recommended picks.
Color: Checkers - Elephant (Gray), Size: Large
Ok, here's an honest breakdown review. I have a 6 month old Doberman who shreds every stuffed animal and dog bed he's come across. He's one of the worst chewers I've owned. We have tried a WIDE variety of stuffed toys. That said, this elephant is his favorite toy. I have ordered 4 of them so far, and just ordered another 4-pack on a buy three get one free deal. The elephant stands out above all the other stuffed creatures from goDog for me as to durability. Hence why I keep buying more. But they usually last about 2-3 weeks on average. In our house, the poor creatures are subjected to vicious, crazy, shaking of the head, helicopter type rotation. It' so hard if it hits your bare arm or leg it actually stings especially when its wet. Then the old, put it between his legs laying down, tearing at the legs action. The limbs are usually the first things to go over time. But they are each almost self sealing, so you clean up as little fluff and keep using it. Eventually the pup reaches the main body and finishes it off. For a normal light to normal chewer, one of two will get you a long way. For those of us resigned to having zoomie type manic chewers that need a constant supply of toys, 2-3 week durability is pretty sound too. I do not recommend the green cheaper monster. It lasted about 45 minutes. The free replacement took about 3 days. Hopefully this aids you in your decision!

Very durable for rowdy pups
Color: Checkers - Elephant (Gray), Size: Large
This toy has outlasted any other dog toy I have ever bought. I have one large and one medium dog who share toys, fight over toys, chew them to death and still play with them. It might be because it isn't one of their favorites. I don't know. All I know is that our house is littered with dog toys in different states of destruction and this elephant toy has very little damage. It has definitely been in the dog toy rotation. I had this toy for 2 months without any major damage. The day I wrote the review the dogs tore the leg off! I still think it is a good toy. Some toys lose the stuffing or squeaker the first day.
