In the small, sleepy town of San Gordito, life revolves around tacos, weed, and avoiding any real work-at least for Papi and Mijo. But when a fiery rivalry between two local taco truck owners, Doña Lupita and El Gordo Carlos, threatens to boil over, the perpetually stoned duo finds themselves caught in the middle of the chaos. What starts as a simple hustle for free tacos and a little weed money quickly spirals out of control. Between playing double agents, downing too many edibles, and trying to avoid a full-blown food fight, Papi and Mijo inadvertently set the town's annual food festival ablaze-figuratively and almost literally. As salsa grenades fly, churro nunchucks swing, and guacamole floods the streets, Mijo has an epiphany (or maybe just a hallucination) that he's destined to end the "Taco Wars." Meanwhile, Papi learns that balancing loyalty, hunger, and cosmic-level stoniness might be too much for even him to handle. Chapter 1 kicks off with a bang-full of absurd antics, fiery food feuds, and the kind of chaos only Papi and Mijo could create.
