Tacos of Texas podcast host Mando Rayo talks about what to expect at one of these celebrations – and, of course, what might be on the menu.

This episode of the Tacos of Texas podcast was originally aired live on the Texas Standard on May 8, 2025.

It’s the time of year for fancy dresses, limo rides, and all the photos. Yes, it’s prom season, but in Texas, that also coincides with another tradition: quinceañera season.

These celebrations of young women are prominent across all parts of Texas and typically include a big party and, of course, lots of food.

The full transcript of this episode of Tacos of Texas is available on the KUT & KUTX Studio website. The transcript is also available as subtitles or captions on some podcast apps.
