Plot Synopsis

TACO CHRONICLES is a half-hour docuseries that explores taco styles that have long, rich, and little-known histories. Each 30-minute episode focuses on a different type of taco, including: guisado, asada, barbacoa, pastor, carnitas and canasta. The series opener highlights savory, pork-based al pastor tacos, which are a street-food staple of Mexico City -- but they actually have origins that stem back to ancient Asia Minor. On Friday, July 12, 2019 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the entire first volume.

Netflix released the seven-episode second volume of TACO CHRONICLES on Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT. Season 2 explores seven new taco styles, including: suadero, cochinita, cabrito (aka kid taco), American taco, burrito, birria, and pescado. In the season opener, "Suadero," urban and nocturnal, the suadero taco is the perfect hangover cure. It's the Mexican cousin to American beef brisket, but with more spice and bite.
