All the Tacos: Mexico City's Favorite Taco

Meet your new favorite taco: the taco de canasta, or "basket taco." Our host Francisco Gómez travels first to Vicente Xiloxochitla, in Tlaxcala, the birthplace of the taco de canasta. Then he heads to Mexico City, where he shadows a canasta taquero as he peddles his wares all over the city. This steamed taco-literally delivered via bike-is one of Mexico City's most beloved street foods.Subscribe to Munchies here: bit.ly/Subscrib...

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. I loved the video. India has literally no tacos. Only taco bell in big cities. I feel India and Mexico have a lot in common and we need tacos here. I totally want some entrepreneurs from Mexico to come and set up shop here. I would love it and I am sure many who may have never tasted tacos ever would too. So many things in common. Indians would love tacos.

[@byza101]

I have the same thought from Australia. I desparately want some proper tacos here. One thought I have had is to find one that is really popular and pay them to sell their tacos under licence in Australia. I don’t have the money to do it yet, but when I do I’m gonna give it a crack

[@alejandracortes4806]

Taco Bell is not real Mexican food. So you all definitely need real Mexican food in India. :) I loooove Indian food by the way. -A Mexican American

[@michelangelo2979]

Taco bell ain’t no taco m8, its like if we did a ham sandwich, deep fried it and said its a hamburger, a classic german hamburger haha. Do yourself a favor and don’t eat that, it will leave a bad impression of what a a real taco is, hope one day u can come here a taste the real thing brother!

Drunk history, Mexican style. The clip starting at 5:18 is funny. Those tacos look good. I like smaller foods that are made fresh. I can eat a few until I'm full without wasting. Huge burritos are great and all, but I'd rather have a bunch of small tacos than continue eating the last half of a giant, lukewarm burrito.
