Dancing in the rain... How fun, you guys turned the rain over...You rocked! 😁😆😅😍

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Aww thank you so much for watching & for your kind comment! We tried to make the best of it! 🤣👌🏼☔️💧

[@PHX10100]

Guys, you had me laughing out loud. Looked like so much fun.. Have to go get something to eat right now. Nice touch with the rain again. Keep it rolling. :)

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Haha… Right?? We’re hungry now too! Lol… ugh… The rain!!!🙄 Thankfully it didn’t stick around for long! Lol… Thanks so much for watching!😊

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

“I don’t like to brag but I am being healthier than everyone else in our group today.” Lol 😂 That’s hilarious, Matt. I’ve NEVER done a food tour and this looked amazing! Everything but the bathroom experience looked so great and fun!! Lol 😆 Natalie paid a peso for nothing. 😂 Thanks for taking us along with y’all!!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Bahahaha 🤣🤣 he was the last one in the group to pick his fresh juice & it was the only one left. Lol he looked at me and was like ew.. green juice 🤣💀 but after he tried it.. he was in love! Haha and I’m sure being the “healthy one” gave him a little boost. 😜🤣 Y’all HAVE to do a food tour! It’s always our favorite thing to do with a local when we go to a different country… we get to learn history, a local view point & get to try food we probably wouldn’t have ever tried before. GIRRLLLL THAT BATHROOM THO 🚽 🤣💀💀💀💀 all 3 of us were like ummmm this is crazy and unexpected hahaha it was memorable. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣💀 thanks so much for watching & for y’all’s support! It truly means the absolute world to us! 🥰🎉

[@ShowMeAnAdventure]

@@AdventuresofMattandNat I definitely think a food tour is going to be one of the first thing we do when we finally travel somewhere outside the US! I may have to pay you to be my travel advisor, Natalie! 💕🎉Traveling internationally is so unknown to me!!

Hi... I'm Enrique! So happy to see you (and me!) in this great video! Thank you for being here and enjoying the experience. See you soon back here!

[@PaulMeyer]

Those mushrooms at the first stop are called huitlacoche, and they grow exclusively on corn. It's earthy and delicious.

[@PaulMeyer]

Also, the molé place is called Antojitos, it's on Ave 30a. So good and so authentic. No sign on the place but if you see a paint store, it's just to the right. 😂

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Thank you sooo much for this!! We tried listening back to what the mushrooms where called and realized we would butcher the spelling 🤣🙈 and also you are the MVP for the molé place! We searched HIGH & LOW on Google maps and nothing! 🤣 you are right… no sign whatsoever but it was soooo authentic & good! Thanks for all the info! We’ll definitely be pinning your comment! 👌🏼

[@annalisahamlett1334]

I mean, would it be a Matt and Nat trip without some rain? 🌧️😆

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

🤣🤣🤣 So true!!🙄🙄 Lol

[@marceblue2888]

Oh my God, the food looked so delicious. I love that you guys are willing to try everything, including crickets and spicy salsas.

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

It was SOOO good! It was hard to edit and not want to eat the whole time! 🤣😜 lol aww thanks so much! 😭🥰 We try to! It’s the best way to enjoy a culture! 🎉👌🏼

[@BillandKelleyAdventures]

I (Kelley) love Mexican food. Well, I may love the Margaritas more the food is just a perk. HAHA, That looked like a lot of food. Ok Matt you went healthy on the juice but fell short on the popsicle. 😁😁

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Haha… We do love us some Margs!! Haha… I guess I had to make up for the “healthy” juice somewhere!!🤣🤣

[@taylorplaskowitz5763]

Loved this so much. I love watching your videos.

Aww… Thank you so much!!🙏🏼

[@passportquinn.c5435]

I'm so hungry after watching this episode! The food all looked so amazing. I've never put mushrooms in quesadillas, but I'll have to try it. You all need to find somewhere with a drought and go visit. You have such a gift for making it rain. 😂 Great video!!

[@AdventuresofMattandNat]

Hahaha I’m glad I wasn’t alone.. while editing this video I wanted to eat all the time! Lol 😂 honestly, that was our first time we had mushrooms too. It was surprisingly good! Bahaha you aren’t wrong! 🤣☔️😜 thanks so much for watching & for your comment!

[@meltonsonthemove]

Loved watching this food tour. Everything looked amazing. We will have to go try a few of these places next time we are in Playa. If you are in Playa again at 12:50ish in your video, there is a place you can see in the background called Taqueria Gómez that also goes by Rico's Tacos uncertain what the name of the place is, lol. The best Tripa we have ever eaten in our life's. The other off the beaten path place we randomly just walked up on one morning for breakfast was Los Cacerolas. They have a Killer chilaquiles. Second best we have ever ate in our life. Highly recommend these two places on your next trip to playa.

[@juliawhiteman]

And now I’m craving Mexican food!! Such a fun video (:
