A little about us
When it comes to Mexican cuisine, there’s vastly more diversity than most Americans realize. I grew up in Mexico, where I earned a master’s degree in agriculture. This granted me a unique knowledge of corn and its varying colors and flavors. After landing in Austin, TX, I began working in the food truck scene. I was surprised to find residents thought of corn tortillas as one single dish. This is far from the case.
At El Xolo Taco, it all comes down to the tortillas.
What is El Xolo?
The name El Xolo {shō~lō} is a nod to the Xoloitzcuintli, a Mexican hairless dog that plays a vital role in Aztec mythology. According to lore, the Xolo helps recently departed souls cross a river and enter the land of the dead known as the mictlan.
