THIS BOOK WA ASSIGNED TO ME BY MY TEACHER AND AFTER READING THE ENTIRE BOOK, THE THING I MOST REMEBER IS THE CHAPTER ON JEEMY A WHITE MALE THAT WANTS A CALM AND PEACEFUL LIFE AND HE IS RICH TOO.

The people are real, even though (in the eyes of a gringo) s:
Synopsis #2 As a master musician writes notes on a page, Mr. Reveles writes beautiful words. Marching across the page is harmony, rhythm, cadence, emotion and sensibility. It's all there and more. You feel good as you read this book. The people are real, even though (in the eyes of a gringo) some of the situations seem a bit unusual. But Mr. Reveles makes them believable with his convincing infectious writing. One becomes hooked by his interesting style and his realistic use of dialogue. He makes the reader want to know more about what makes THIS author tick. May the river in Tecate always run uphill. And may Mr. Reveles be inspired to write more

I love this book:
I really love this book...my opinion is a little biased having the author being my Papi! Every time I want to escape from the hustle of every day life I just grab my worn copy of this book and read!

Characters bigger than life, like EL Gato make it great:
I enjoyed the stories in Enchilada, Rice and Beans, but my favorite was the one about El Gato, who is a character bigger than life in all that we find out about him at the party in his honor. Reveles tells some good stories and I think they don't have to be super great to please the critics,just warm enough to encourage a good look at out neighboors to the South, who embrace life slightly differently in some ways, and yet just like us in others. Very enjoyable.

Awesome! A book everyone could fall in love with!:
What an extraordinary writer! I'm jealous! How can one person be so talented? The book is so sweet, so full of heart, so sad and so delightful all at the same time. Reading it is like eating the best feast you can imagine, with all your taste buds engaged. I can't wait to read the next book: "Chips and Salsa".
