Meet Maria Flores

Stephanie Ganz at Richmond Magazine has a great interview with Maria Flores:

Maria Flores has been cooking since she was a teen in Mexico. She learned from her mother and grandmothers, and the love of cooking stayed with her. Flores’ innate talent brought her to the United States, where she cooked traditional Mexican food in New Orleans and Houston before moving to Richmond in 1995. Now, you can find Flores cooking seven days a week aboard her food truck, El Taconazo, parked at 3227 Broad Rock Blvd. There, she puts her skill on full display through tacos, comforting soups and weekly rotating specials including poblano mole, which always draws a crowd.
