Living Above a Taco Shop: Ballads of the Barrio

by Clarissa Delatorre

Overview

Living Above a Taco Shop pays homage to a barrio which fostered the authors post-college experience. Working above a restaurant rooted in a generational pueblo of Los Angeles, it is a memoir with personal images from the neighborhood developed over years with detailed reverence and poetic observation.

This community today requires protective housing measures, clean streets, and personalized health for its most vulnerable members. The book's intent is to directly support specific residents in this neighborhood and to continue ensuring long term solutions.
