Marco Torres is Chron's taco columnist, penning a biweekly dispatch on Houston's Mexican food scene in his "Tacos y Más" column.
Born in Matamoros, Mexico, Torres moved to Houston with his family when he was two years old and has lived here ever since. A graduate of the University of St. Thomas, he dabbled in the oil and gas and banking industries before picking up a camera at age 24.
The authors of "Tacos of Texas" commissioned his photography for the 2016 book, cementing his "taco journalist" moniker. Torres has photographed and written about food and music for the Houston Press, Houstonia, Eater, Chron and the Houston Chronicle.
When he's not eating or thinking about food, Torres is roaming around the great City of Houston in search of good music and colorful graffiti.
