I could relate because I've been to Tecate, loved the stories.

Amusing insightful Mexican humor

Wonderful kaleidoscope of sweet humorous, human tales about life across the boarder in Tecate, Mexico. Sweetly told with an astringent twist of limón. Humorous and compelling stories from a cultural Mexican point of humor. Riveting reading, full of twists and unexpected turns. Reveles is a marvelous spinner of yarns. Now reading his "Tequila, Lemon, and Salt" book, with anticipated exceptions of another wonderful read. ¡Gracias!

Flat. Trite. Occasionally sweet. There were some fairly readable moments, but in the end just predictable in the worst way.

His stories are amazing. I am eager to read more. One story was like a punch in the face. The rest made me laugh and want to eat fish tacos and pan dulce while listening to a live mariachi band.
