- Alright, check it out
guys, it's Trevor James.
We are in the Tlacolula Sunday market
outside of Oaxaca,
Mexico, and I am so pumped
because today we have a
ton of street food to eat.
This is a true street food heaven.
Let's check it out.
If you like spicy tacos
and juicy meat, you're in for a treat,
because today we found five
amazing Mexican street foods
that you're gonna love,
from soft and juicy tacos
to the most insane barbecue
chorizo from heaven,
and some beautiful and messy
Mexican pork sandwiches.
This video is gonna make you hungry,
so make sure to watch
all the way until the end
so you don't miss any of
these beautiful foods.
Let's eat.
- Oh yeah, I think what we
have right in front of us here
is carnita, oh carnita.
First up, before going deep
into the market and
finding barbecue heaven,
we found the most beautiful carnita stall,
aka pork and pork organs
simmered in lard and oil
until they're extremely tender
and then wrapped up in a tortilla
and covered with salsa.
- Look at this.
This is just...
This is the carnitas.
Oh, it's full of, look
at all those organs.
Oh, the intestine, the skin, oh.
I think that's probably
the uterus, and oh,
actually it has a very
very rich pork aroma.
I'm gonna get half skin and half meat.
I'm gonna get two just because
they look so sloppy goodness, oh.
Yes.
Dos carnita, por favor.
Oh, that just looks like such a sloppy,
fatty pork delight here,
and we are just on the edge of the market.
There is gonna be a ton
of good food here today.
Look at that.
Oh yeah, look at that, that is the skin.
So he's gonna take the skin
and mix it up with the pork,
the leaner pork, and that
combo should be lean and fatty.
Perfect texture and flavor and feel.
Gracias.
Okay, take a look at this, guys.
We got the beautiful
combo of both lean pork
and fatty skin, but the real beauty here,
to go with the lime, is the guacamole.
This should also have
a bit of chile in it.
The red salsa and also
these onions and habanero,
and we're finding that
these are very spicy.
So we're gonna add a bit of everything.
Oh yeah, look at that.
Look at that fatty skin.
And we're gonna cover it with salsa.
Oh yeah, and then the real joy here
is to squeeze your lime on there.
Gracias, senor.
Look at that, oh yeah.
It is just totally melt
in your mouth silkiness.
The lime, the onion,
the salsa, it's perfect.
And what I'm loving about Mexico so far
is the complete variety of
salsas that you can get here.
Every one is slightly different,
slightly different spice level.
That is just awesome.
Bye bye.
Great, let's keep going.
Next up, we ventured deeper
into the market, and found a lady selling
some beautiful Oaxacan
classics right on the grill,
like tlayudas, tostadas, and
plump Mexican pork sandwiches,
all stuffed with your selection
of different meats and
freshly made salsas.
This here is messy, juicy joy.
- Oh yeah, this market is
just getting busier and busier
the further you go in.
I think we found a little
tlayudas stall here.
Oh, yeah, look at this, oh.
Hola senora.
Oh, look at this.
Fried beef with onions and
then fried chorizo sausage,
and we can get that in a tlayuda tortilla.
Oh, es tlayuda?
- Tlayuda.
- Oh, tlayuda, look at that.
We're gonna have to get one.
Uno tlayuda, por favor.
Ah, chorizo tlayuda, por favor.
It's really satisfying watching
this red chorizo sausage sizzle.
The best thing
about Foodrangin' like
this is without a doubt
getting to meet all the friendly people
when you travel through
practicing the local language.
You just gotta have fun, smile,
and make it all an adventure
by tasting new foods,
learning new languages,
and discovering as you go.
- [Trevor] Es torta?
- [Woman] Esto es torta.
- [Trevor] Torta, oh, torta.
Muy rico?
Oh, Mexico de comida, muy rico.
Oh yeah, look at that salsa.
We could actually film that,
we could eat that, the torta.
That is the blue corn flour tortilla,
and she's gonna get it nice and crisped up
and load it with chorizo
tlayuda, por favor.
Oh yeah, look at this.
Oh, that's frijoles.
So she's loading it up with frijoles
which is refried beans, a
bit of salad with cilantro,
and then she's just loading
it up with the chorizo.
Oh, yeah, that looks awesome.
- Guacamole?
- Guacamole, si, por favor.
Oh yeah, look at that.
So she's gonna open
that up and put a little
quesillo cheese, Oaxacan string cheese.
Tlayuda es Oaxaca de comida?
- Si, una tipica de Oaxaca.
- Oh, tipica de Oaxaca comida.
Typical Oaxacan food here.
And she's gonna cut into that.
Listen to that sizzle.
Oh, doesn't that look
incredibly beautiful?
Gracias, senora.
Let's take a look in there.
Ooh, wow, the color of
Mexican food is unbelievable.
The true color, look at that red chorizo,
the unbelievable aromatic frijoles beans
with onions, cilantro, string cheese,
and also that amazing guacamole and salsa.
Just looks amazing.
Oh yeah, oh.
It really is all about that spicy chorizo.
She's loading it up, and you can get it
on all different types of tortillas,
tortas, sandwiches, it's all here.
But that flavor of the chorizo,
it's spicy, fragrant, fatty, juicy,
with that string cheese, mmm.
After saying bye to our new friends,
we made our way further into the market
and found true street food heaven.
Right when you walk into this market
you instantly smell the meat
grilling over the coals,
and you can't help but walk over
and order up a ton of meat.
- This is just the
beginning of the market.
We actually haven't even
got into the market yet.
This looks like the town square.
Just look how beautiful this is.
And over there is the
main market and church.
Awesome.
This is the entrance to the market
and it's so colorful here.
Amazing.
Let's go see what we can find.
Oh, oh, we just found meat heaven.
Look at this.
Oh yeah, this is the meat lane.
Incredible.
Hola.
Oh, look at the meat we found.
Oh, I think I see some down here.
Oh yeah, we totally
found the meat jackpot.
Hola senora, uno chorizo, por favor.
Y uno esta, por favor.
Gracias.
Oh, y uno chile de agua, por favor.
Look at this.
Honestly, my favorite
thing in Mexico so far
is the chorizo.
Just the spice, the juice,
the bursting, the flame.
- [Trevor Voiceover]
This is the type of meat
you can dream about
weeks after you eat it.
Just listen to the beauty of the sizzle.
(meat sizzling)
- Oh yeah, gracias.
We got a ton of food,
way more than I expected.
She gave me the overload here.
Look at all these grilled onions.
Oh wow, huge grilled onions,
and then the chorizo sausage,
which is what I originally wanted.
My favorite thing in Mexico so far
is just spiced chorizo sausage.
And then this thinly sliced grilled beef.
That is just amazing.
Look at the scene here.
It is incredible.
Let's try it out.
Chorizo, muy rico.
You just get this insane aromatic spice,
juicy and fatty, and then
we've got chile de agua here.
That should be very spicy,
and nice thinly sliced grilled beef.
After tasting
the extremely spicy chile de agua
and the sweet smoky grilled onions,
the ladies asked for some of the meat back
so they could eat some as well
while the camera wasn't rolling.
So I gave the rest back to them
and we moved on to find more street food.
- They were actually saying to us behind,
when the camera wasn't rolling,
that they wanted to eat some,
so I just offered it to her and I think
she is gonna finish that off.
We're gonna keep exploring and see
what else we can get here.
This is the barbacoa lane.
We're gonna go get a whole
lamb later, barbacoa,
but you can see this market
is just full of action.
- [Trevor Voiceover] After
walking a little further
into the market, we stumbled on
a famous cow foot soup joint, serving up
a rich beef stock full
of smooth tomato aroma
and lots of fragrance from cumin, oregano,
onions, garlic, and cilantro.
And when you walk up
and see all the cow feet
ready to be chopped up
and put in your soup,
you gotta order up a bowl.
Oh, caldo de pata?
- Si.
- Okay, we're gonna
try some cow foot soup.
Gracias, gracias.
Awesome.
Okay, I've heard all about this.
Oh, the tortilla?
Okay, dos, por favor.
Fresh tortilla in the market.
Okay, gracias.
- Cinco pesos.
- Cinco?
Gracias senora, gracias.
Uno caldo de pata, por favor.
Look at that bubbling
rich stock, beef stock.
Look at all that, that's
actually all the cow feet.
Oh, and that's a rich spicy broth.
Oh, gracias.
- [Woman] Cilantro y...
- Okay, si.
Cilantro and onion, awesome.
Gracias, senora.
Oh wow, that, that is insanely aromatic.
Actually, it has a bit of a smoked,
smoky aroma, kind of
like a chipotle pepper.
There's also, oh, an amazing tomato aroma,
onion, cilantro, and look at
all those chunks of cow foot.
Actually, it smells very similar
to tortilla soup, actually.
It has a real nice tortilla soup aroma.
They give you a tortilla as well
and you can squeeze lime in there.
Gracias.
And everybody here is so friendly.
Oh, chile, okay, gracias.
And they give you dried chile
to put in there as well.
Isn't that beautiful?
A couple chiles in there
as well, should be good.
Really has a tortilla soup aroma.
Oh, smoky, full of spice.
It has a beef flavor but very jelly-like.
And that soup is so smooth.
It really is a smooth
tortilla soup flavor.
It really is all about the texture.
The cow feet have like a very jelly,
almost springiness to them.
I could picture eating
this when you've got a cold
or when you need to feel healthy.
It's just a warm, soothing pick-me-up
and it's very delicious, gracias.
After walking a little bit further,
we found a stall serving
some of the juiciest,
most plump pork head meat sandwiches
with the softest, most heavenly buns,
a true juicy flavor explosion.
- Hola senor, una torta
cabeza de cerdo, por favor.
- [Man] Con todo?
- Con todo, todo, si.
Look at all that pig head meat.
And I'm gonna get a
torta, a Mexican sandwich.
You can see she's just put
a little bit of frijoles,
pig head meat, cilantro and onion
on a soft torta bun, and there's also
turkey meat over there.
Gracias.
Oh, look at all that fresh pig head meat,
little bit of salsa, little
bit of onion, cilantro, oh.
The most beautiful thing is this soft bun
and you can just watch them,
and they're pouring all of that
frijoles, refried beans on.
But this definitely
needs a bit more salsa.
Let's just pour a little
bit of that salsa verde
all over that, cover it.
Squeezing lime on things in Mexico,
that's, there's nothing like
the fresh citrusy aroma.
Just look at how wet that is.
Look at that, that bread is just soaked
with the frijoles, refried
beans, and all that salsa.
Oh yeah.
Oh, it's just, the bun is incredibly soft
and saturated with the frijoles
and the pig head meat is actually
very fatty and juicy as well.
This right here is the true flavor.
Spicy green salsa,
chile, tomatillo, onion,
that'll burn but feels
so good at the same time.
- [Man] You like Oaxaca?
- Oaxaca's the best, yeah,
very nice place, best place.
People are so friendly here.
