Review quotes

"This is a cheerfully told story that gives a quick glimpse of the border-crossing culture of the era and due credit to the restaurant owner who respected and encouraged Anaya without diminishing the glory of Nacho's creation. . . A lively food history piece, this also demonstrates the rich value of cross-cultural and cross-border commerce." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
