Unless I’m Mistaken: 90% of “Mexican” food in the USA including Mexican hot spots like LA, is nothing close to this in any respect. All we get is pork grease / low grade cheese culminating in really basic stuff like tacos, enchiladas and taquitos. The truly worthwhile Mexican food? We don’t see it. I believe that this’ due to the poverty of Mexican immigrants and the more successful affluent areas of the nation not migrating to the USA.

That tlayuda sounded so good! Everything being cooked over charcoal had to give it such a rich, smoky flavor *drool* Mole is as personal as a thumbprint....I've only made it from scratch once, and it was SO much work. It really did take 2 days, and it was delicious. Reminiscent of others I've had, but being a fan of cumin, I was heavy-handed with it. If I ever get ambitious enough to spend 2 days making mole again, I'll definitely use the same amount of cumin.

Los Angeles has 200,000 Mexicans who identify as Oaxacan. Chicago has a considerable population as well. You'd be surprised by how many Mexican restaurants specialize in Oaxacan cuisine. Most are Tex-Mex/border style of course but I'd say of all the actual Mexico food regions, Oaxaca is easily the most common. You'll also see restos promote Baja, Yucatan and Veracruz cuisine. But Oaxacans seem to be quite strict in keeping with tradition so lots of moles, tlayuda, chapulines and mezcal (woohoo!).

I am always amazed at the amount of research that you do, eating the same dish in different restaurants and then finding the one that you like best and introducing that. You really are making something very special. I would never really have thought of trying to go to Oaxacan but I would really like to try all of those dishes in those restaurants that you recommend and describe so well. Well done!

I would like to tell you something, those kind of tamales are really common in Veracruz state, even in Veracruz the process it’s way better because the dough it’s cooked before making the tamales and you may not know Veracruz state have a lot o banana plants which make those tamales more common there, even those states share borders a lot of dishes are similar and it’s hart to know their origin, thanks for travel in Mexico buy you ahoy go to a Chiapas or Veracruz where it’s consider a capital of the coffee, thanks and keep enjoying Mexico.

Oh no Thomas, you called the tamale lady "little old lady" instead of just "lady". Don't think that her age should be highlighted - she is just a talented lady/woman who makes awesome food. Otherwise, wonderful and educational video featuring delicious food. You know I love you guys but the adjective "old" referring to a person just threw me off. I also wanted to mention how amazing it is that you always address everyone in Spanish first, therefore breaking the ice and showing respect for the culture. That is admirable.

Hi. Thanks for watching. No disrespect was meant by that. I mentioned it because it gave context to the stand and the situation. Because of her age she’s now no longer able to sell her tamales on the street. She still makes them but her family have taken over the evening selling to help her out. I think it’s a really neat story and was worth highlighting. We always make sure to learn some words in the places we visit to at least have a very, very basic conversation. It’s the least we can do we think. Thanks again for watching. Thomas
