We realize that taco shops, in and of themselves, are already inherently flavored places of culture and of celebration, where all walks of life collide for a brief moment. Thus, we wish to affirm this coalescence in an explicit manner,and contribute to it, in the most humble of ways, through our performances. Taco shops are places where people eat, talk, and leave behind social and class barriers in search for the perfect carne asada burrito. Taco shops have become the new meeting places for a cross- section of society. But taco shops don't just have a culinary function any longer.
Taco shops are cultural centers, they are the the cultural crossroads for the new millenium.
As Taco Shop Poets we are the cultural workers at these crossroads. Our work can be found where these areas intersect.
