From Tex-Mex to Polish and Native American influences, food in South Texas is a blend of various cultures.

Texas Public Radio examined the Asian American influence on food in San Antonio and the region during a Great SA panel discussion on May 22, marking Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month.

The conversation was moderated by TPR’s Marian Navarro.

Monica Perales, historian and associate vice provost at the Institute of Texan Cultures at the University of Texas at San Antonio, was one of the panelists.
