Summary
Venture into the gritty, dangerous, and often misunderstood era of Los Tequileros on El Mesteño*Podcast Episode 11. Host David Flores and *El Mesteño* Magazine Publisher Homero Vera explore how ordinary South Texas ranch *vaqueros* became alcohol smugglers in response to the 1920 Volstead Act (Prohibition).
Discover the geography of the dangerous tequila trails that snaked from the Rio Grande (between Zapata and Los Ebanos) toward the hub in San Diego, Texas. They also discuss the lethal conflict between the tequileros and law enforcement like the Texas Rangers, and how corridos such as "Los de Parás" and "Los Tequileros" preserved the tragic stories of this period in Mexican-American history.
