An expose of daily life in the border town of Tecate,
Any who would understand Mexican culture and social issues will find at once poignant, moving, and revealing Guacamole Dip, an expose of daily life in the border town of Tecate. His vignettes are folksy, fun and often provide both a light-hearted and alternately serious look at Mexican and Mexican-American culture and issues, juxtaposing tales with views of changing border life between Mexico and the U.S. Any collection strong in Mexican or Mexican-American immigrant issues will find this an attractive, popular lend whether at the college or general lending library level.

|Love It!,
I loved this book…the stories are very touching, funny, sad and very real. I especially enjoyed the last story, and it is that discription of the Mexican culture that makes me love Mexico. Thank you Daniel for sharing these stories from Tecate. I look forward to reading your other books. Hope to see you soon at Bar Diana or perhaps at Rancho Tecate.
Adios,

|A Note From the Author,
Many thanks to all of you who have read my books and come on-line to say such nice things.
I’m sitting in the plaza watching the ever-changing pageant of color and listening to the sounds of Tecate.I can hear the silvery notes of a mariachi trumpet coming from somehwere. Little frills on an accordion drift across the plaza from the Bar Diana. Ah, and here comes Antonio with his guitar cradled in his arms singing an old love song.(Jurame.) The song evokes memories of Señorita X. Doña Marcelina predicted that one day Señorita X would come into my life. Doña Marcelina practices scatomancy. In other words she’s our local poop psychic. For her purpose she uses a duck! But that’s another story.
I’m watching Juanito Aldama pushing his Sno Cone cart over near the kiosko. I notice he has more customers than usual. I’m going to hang around to see if I can find the reason for his sudden increase in trade. I can’t believe it! If you know the password (he changes it daily) he’ll whip up a Sno Cone margarita!!
Mila is waving to me from her table at the sidewalk cafe. She’s in black pants and knitted jersey today. The big splash of red over her heart is the result of a silk scarf. She probably has a good story to tell me so I’ll say hasta luego for now.
Daniel Reveles
