That guac at the second stop had me drooling

[@guillermovargas8564]

Great video. I've been in Queens last year and I had a hard time finding a good Mexican restaurant. I live in Dallas TX so I'm pretty knowledgeable about Mexican food. But don't worry even in Dallas it's hard to find a good place, especially tacos de tripa, my favorite. Anyway, I would like to get your book for 2 reasons, 1) I'm going to NYC in November 2)My son and I are planning to move to NYC. We are selling everything we have here. Cheers

Wow, great reason to get that book :) You're in the lead so far.

[@avieboy]

Take a train down to Philly. We have great authentic Mexican food. Most Mexicans here are recent immigrants from Puebla or CDMX or Veracruz. We also have the best barbacoa restaurant in the USA according to many eater polls.

[@HereBeBarr]

My friends told me about that spot !!

[@avieboy]

@@HereBeBarr She used to have a stand alone place called south Philly barbacoa but sadly closed down. Now they moved to the Italian market on 9th st but open only on weekends. If you go, order in Spanish and get the set, medio kilo para dos. And, it comes with handmade tortillas, a ton of salsa fixings, guacamole, spicy pickles, and 2 bowls of the amazing lamb consomme. Muy sabroso! They have pancita too, though not my favorite.

[@danevore8579]

The Chorizo and Pernil tacos looked Crazy good. I would love the book, because I’ll be coming over from Denmark to New York (my 5th visit) next year and I’ll be focusing my time in Brooklyn and especially Queens this time ‘round. I’ll be doing an entire youtube video series on my foodie adventures there - I already have a name: Around the world in Brooklyn and Queens. I can’t wait 😊👍🏻

[@awapuhi]

That's is how in Mexico Northern states add tons of thick guac without any extra charge cause is not a exotic food like in the states,in Mexico is just so normal,typical and part of our cuisine,is basically free on the tacos spots and so cheap in the markets and grows everywhere.

[@Southtacomamook]

I got hooked on tortas this year, theres an awesome truck in seattle by ikes weed store. The freshest, best ingredients. They even made me a special tilapia torta. I requested a chrizo torta. They get their spices from Oaxaca so next week i get a chorizo torta!

Hey there Thanks for making great videos I would love that gift to give to our kind of new Rector, here at Trinity Church in Asbury Park. Two years ago. he left his home in Jackson Heights, NYC to become our Rector here. Since it is only about 90 minutes from here to Jackson Heights, or most of Queens, I am sure he would love this book for day trips with his spouse, who is from Mexico. We give him days off for good behavior! And just think, if I won this book for him, we, his parishioners would have to give him 111 days off - Wow! That's lots of good behavior, eh? Had to sneak in a bit of Canadian "eh" in my long rant here. Again Thanks for your great videos, you are just so normal!

[@HereBeBarr]

Great answer, thanks for watching.

[@pjay6746]

I guess I'm used to street tacos here in NorCal - those tacos seem a bit big. No al pastor? No Elotes? Mangonadas? I do agree with those who say the best place for tacos is in LA or San Diego near the border. I'm not familiar with Oaxaca food (the trucks and restaurants in my area are mostly Michoacan and Sinaloa) so that last stop was cool.
