Dr. Brenda Sarmiento-Quezada :: Purdue Educator Talks Family, Language, and Tacos

Brenda Sarmiento-Quezada can share her love for tacos in two languages, as the Netflix-featured Purdue professor uses food and bilingual education to honor her background as a native of Mexico City who moved to the U.S. as a teen. Her focus is on creating a new generation of educators who celebrate bilingualism, impacting the lives of their students and communities.

You can find Brenda on Instagram @doctorabrendasq. In San Antonio, Texas, be sure to check out El Pastor es Mi Senor - Dr. Brenda's parents or her brother Alex might be the ones behind the counter. Netflix features the restaurant in the San Antonio episode of the Taco Chronicles series, season 3.

Yellowfish Sushi is also an option when you're local. You can find the restaurants on Instagram as well, @elpastor_esmisenor and @yellowfishsushi.
