Nacho average foodie WISH book! Mónica Mancillas explores themes of family, food, and identity wrapped up in a sweet, commercial title.

Dulce doesn't want to spend the summer helping at her family's restaurant, but with the business needing all the help it can get, she doesn't have a choice.

Julian doesn't want to be in California. But his food vlogger parents have relocated the family as part of an attempt to keep their marriage going, so he doesn't have a choice, either.

When the two literally crash into each other, it's so not the beginning of a beautiful friendship. But as they're both forced to enrol in a cooking class together and slowly get to know each other, things get heated—and not just the tacos! Julian and Dulce each have something to learn from the other about friendship, family, community, and food.

Taco Tuesdays: A Wish Novel by Monica Mancillas offers an engaging tale filled with food-fuelled adventures and heartwarming lessons.
