Brits Try Tex Mex For The First Time In Texas USA

[@LockupIII]

Sir, as a new American, you asked the wrong question when it came to the tacos. The correct answer is all of them, all of the time!

[@okienative4785]

Yes.

[@thebritstry]

Good point ! well made.. It really was delicious! Thanks for watching

[@mbourque]

THUS, why there is a "Taco Tuesday"....

[@rosssmith4748]

From Gonzales, Texas (Come and Take It) Tex-Mex varies greatly across the state. Anytime I go into a new mexican restaurant, the first time I will always order the combination plate or special plate. They all have one. It comes with enchiladas, tamale, taco, chalupa, rice, and beans. The first bite is the rice and beans and my mind is made up. The best are the small mom and pop restaurants in any small Texas town.

[@jennithepooh4u]

True and I love corn tortillas with butter.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the idea! That sounds like a great plan to try in the future!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching

[@stevel1733]

Gonzales. My friend lives 25 min west on some two lane hwy. He and his chick took me there. Right before you get in town on the soth side of the road theres a tex mex restaurant. Looks like a dive. I got the biggest platter and a mango margarita. That place has some of the best texmex ive had since eating at monteray house in LJ as a little boy!

I’m in Victoria!

[@stevematthews7686]

Y’all should have drizzled a little queso over those tacos! Would have leveled it up even more Really enjoying your reactions:)

Pouring salsa or queso onto the chips is absolutely *not* how you should eat it. You dip, never drizzle.

[@heavin6586]

Queso and salsa on everything 😋

[@DamienWillis]

Carnitas are often marinated in orange juice before cooking, so that may account for some of the sweetness.

[@Vinnytint2]

Mmmm and the Coca Cola 🎉🎉🎉I love making them at home . Lard , oranges and coke

Thanks for sharing! it was delicious!

Thank you for the tips!

[@bretwiley6675]

That’s correct. Not everyone but some people will put some Coca Cola in towards the end of cooking process. Personally I don’t do that. All the tacos you had appeared to be served on flour tortillas. Fajitas yes flour tortillas. Carnitas corn tortillas.

[@kateg7298]

I love you guys. You've developed a WOW system of rating the food: 1 Wow - that's good! 2 Wows - that's delicious! 3 Wows - where has this food been all of my life! 4 Wows - Nicola cannot comment on the video right now. She's experiencing food nirvana! She'll get back to you as soon as possible. The way I see it, you have two options (just being cheeky). Move to Texas or go back to California and buy a restaurant to serve real Tex-Mex. Thanks for a fun and really gratifying video for us Texans. I'm a little bummed that you didn't get a chance to try tomatillo salsa but there's next time.

So glad you two were able to visit Valentina's. Texas was part of Mexico back in the day...so back in "the day"...Texas was Mexico. So the influences have blended over time. Especially in the Hill Country region, Austin to San Antonio and further south. Some of my favorite taco's in Texas are at Valentina's.

[@thebritstry]

The food at Valentinas was really good! We would love to visit more of Texas in the future!

[@dchall8]

Tex-Mex food originated in San Antonio by the immigrants from the Canary Islands. Since the Canary Islands were settled by the Moors, the Tex-Mex food is influenced by Moorish traditional spices. The food in Mexico is more influenced by the starches available to the PreColumbian cultures. Still there is crossover with lard, corn, beans, and some spices native to Mexico and the Americas.

[@junebug_tx2305]

Where are the Enchiladas? Tamales? Burritos? You need to extend your Texas visit. You haven't even had any Fried Catfish either. Glad you are enjoying your visit.

Our local family owned Mexican restaurant has fabulous queso. It's 2 cheeses and diced green chiles. It's got just enough spice that I can still eat it.

[@Volyren]

I got a mexinese place near me. Real tasty stuff. Japanese/mexican fusion. Hibachi burritos, mexican sushi (using a roasted poblano instead of seaweed), miso horni soup. (Shaved jalapeno simmered in a hornitas tequila sauce put on top, instead of seaweed.) And the guacasabi dip is killer. Get some mexican onigiri. Fajitas in the middle, mexican rice mixed with cheese dip formed around it, then pan seared and wrapped with spinach leaves. Damnitt... now I'm hungry.

That's not very nice. The people that make these videos read comments, too. Britain gets teased too much about food. I had some world-class food in the UK and really good ordinary food, too. Seriously, why don't we have savory pies in the US since we do so much fast food? They can be great.

Enough Serrano pepper can make it quite spicy. But they can handle spice more than most. They're not that beige.

[@TBirum1]

@andromedaspark2241 We DO have savory pies The United States has people from Nearly every country on Earth and they bring their “Food Culture” with them. Go to just about ANY Major US City and you can find “Authentic” Chinese Italian Russian Vietnamese French Korean Mexican Indian Filipino Japanese The list goes on and on. “British” food gets a bad rap due to their food just not having a great deal of “Spice”/Big Bold Flavors Like other countries food. Even British people acknowledge this fact. And I mean TONS AND TONS of “British People” have said that “British Food” lacks the Spiciness/big bold flavors that other countries food has. Nobody is saying that “British food sucks” it just doesn’t have the variety that other countries do.

Texas invented several "Mexican " dishes. The nacho (San Antonio), the puffy taco (San Antonio), and fajitas (Houston region). Making tacos with Texas style bbq meats is also regional. So how do these tacos compare to southern California tacos?

[@nullakjg767]

Reminder that san antonio used to literally be mexico. Thus the name... san antonio lol.

[@barnabydodd8956]

@@nullakjg767 And a gigantic portion of the country used to be France, and another giant portion used to be Britain, and another portion used to be Spain. What's your point?

[@PristineTX]

Nachos were invented for visiting American military wives in 1943 in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. Chile con Carne as we know it today came from San Antonio. Tamales are completely different in Texas and N. Mexico (typically wrapped in a corn husk) than the ones further south (typically wrapped in a banana leaf.) Barbacoa in Texas and the border are typically made of fatty beef head meat, and further south, barbacoa is much more likely to be goat meat. There are probably hundreds of variations of guacamole from the US through S. America. As with a lot of cooking in the region, (especially the border region) nobody can say which is “authentic” or not…most culinary experts consider “Tex-Mex” just as authentic as “real” Mexican food, just different.

"Queso" is short for "Salsa con queso" in most places. In other words, salsa with cheese. It usually has at least jalapenos in it and often times hotter peppers. Tex-Mex is one of those regional foods that is popular nationwide, including especially in California. So you should be able to find good examples of it at home too.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing that information about "Queso"! It's always interesting to learn about the origins of different foods.

While in Texas, try and find a Culvers. It has been stated that it is "The Best Fast Food in America." It originated in the upper Midwest, but has restaurants in Texas. Try, the Butter Burger, the Cod, and the Pot Roast. But most of all, try the frozen custard...I recommend the turtle (chocolate, caramel, and pecans).

You are right on about the queso being similar to a bechamel. That's how you make a good cheese dip that remains a melty texture. Add to this lots of cheese and peppers... another way it's often made is velveeta and rotel (canned tomatoes and peppers)... the latter works great in a crockpot for a party. The thick tortillas mean they're handmade. I love them like that. Classically, Tex-Mex is a bit more Americanized than those tacos. Think Taco Bell. Ground beef tacos in a crispy shell, burritos, enchiladas with a red sauce OR chili on top. Sides of mexican rice and refried beans.

with cheese type dips, don't try to 'scoop' the cheese out, put the chip in and pull it out and let the cheese coat the chip, not scoop... A. it'll last longer before it runs out and B. less chips will break...

[@thebritstry]

Appreciate the advice! Why didn't we think of that? Will definitely try it out next time.

[@gallifreyanrefugee7982]

Tex mex is my fav. I have a lot of family in Texas. My fav thing to get is chicken and steak fajitas. I usually poor the white cheese dip on top of it. you should try that whenever you are able to.

[@thebritstry]

We definitely will try this. 🤗

[@DirtMcgirt612]

when you mentioned TGIFriday fajitas i was like that's probably 10 thousand times better then TGIFriday fajitas lol

[@thebritstry]

It was at least 10,000 times better! It did not compare. 🤗

I'm glad you're finding such joy in Texas! I miss much of the food there, to be sure. However, you are mostly convincing me to not move to San Diego! Also, Buda is NEAR Austin, but it is not actually IN Austin.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for your comment! We had a great time in Texas.

[@Jedi_granny]

Oh looks delicious!!! Must try that next time that way!!

[@thebritstry]

You should!

[@easy6427]

I remember when Valentinas was just a food truck.... always good!

[@thebritstry]

Oh really!

[@easy6427]

@@thebritstry next time y'all are in Austin you should check out Polvo's on South 1st! Amazing food and crazy margaritas!

Bbq in Michigan would be smokin bob bbq...he has a food wagon...he has award winning food...its amazing but you have to get there early because he usually runs out....gladwin Michigan is where he usually is...if you need a place to stay go to the Riverwalk....pipers pub pub is another good place to eat in town or mr m's has great pizza while you find out where bob is going to be and what time

[@billdavis3897]

A tip for those eating texmex, if the chips and dip are bad, get the hell out of there. If they can't do that right, then it gets worse.

[@adventuresinmusic2487]

Try some Pico de Gallo on those tacos. And, if you get to the coast try some ceviche, Mexico has excellent spicy ceviche.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the suggestion! we will give that a try in the future

[@suzanneanderson6921]

Chuy's salsa fresca is addictive 😊

[@thebritstry]

They food was delicious! Thanks for watching

[@joevolpe512]

Valentina’s has the best brisket tacos. Unfortunately, due to non-food issues, they are closed at the moment. But if you go to an Austin FC game. You can get them there

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing! They were really delicious! we didn't know they had closed.
