A hilarious memoir about the author's family traveling to Mexico to get his grandfather. Latinos will laugh and relate to some of the experiences (given name vs. American-style name) while everyone with siblings will relate to the sibling relationships. Pedro is able to learn and connect with the grandfather that he had heard so much about but barely knew. Pedro is also able to learn more about himself, what makes him Mexican or not Mexican enough and about his family.

There are Mexidan fast-food franchises all over the United States, and although the food does not resemble anything traditional, Americans love to eat at these places. Gustavo Arellano states that Mexican food is not new to the United States, and gives us some history of how this came about. In addition he rates some of the best Mexican restaurants, cafes and dives throughout the country.
