Together with her two daughters Yvette and Veronica, Evangelina is the co-author of Muy Bueno: Three Generations of Authentic Mexican Flavor (Hippocrene Books, 2012). The cookbook emerged from years of giving recipes over the phone to homesick daughters, and then became a tribute to her mother, Jesusita, whose hospitality and irresistible Mexican recipes were legendary among family and friends. Evangelina reside in her hometown of El Paso, Texas.
