I can’t believe we risked our lives for this …

I can’t believe we risked our lives for this … no taco is worth your life, but we were determined to do everything possible to try carnitas in Quiroga, Michoacan! Quiroga is said to be the CARNITAS CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! One thing is for sure, you’ll find the best carnitas in the world in Michoacan, Mexico. We went to Quiroga for the carnitas, but we stayed for an unexpected party that was unlike anything else we’ve ever seen in Mexico. One of our favorite experiences in 2022 for sure.

I'm an American citizen and married to a Mexican woman, in Morelia, Michoacan. I don't know about you "risking your lives" but after two years here, I've still NEVER been approached or victimized by ANY crime. I love my life in Mexico. Assimilation, and appreciation of the culture is key. Yes, the Carnitas are GREAT as well as all the amazing Mexican food. Excellent video... VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽

[@EatBailaTravel]

in retrospect, we know there was never any real danger, but in the moment of accepting an off-the-radar ride with a stranger, it did feel like a risk. We know Michoacan is more than just the negative sensationalized news media, but one should still take precautions in life because better safe than sorry, right? Although, we definitely didn't follow that rule in this case!

[@Banana-rg1cl]

Question, Do you have a job locally? I am curious to know what non mexican people do for a living

[@heidihodges329]

You guys are completely underappreciated. From your video work (there is so much involved in that, and you do it right. Great awareness of lighting, etc) to your editing and voice overs, and your timing and storytelling is very high quality stuff. You may be on the verge of breaking out. So...I saw your video about evaluating your life path. You do what you gotta do. But your personal story--super unique as a couple raised in the Midwest going to your roots, and being bilingual--is compelling. I'm rooting for you because I know how hard you've worked (and likely taught yourself, and consistently improved). From a fellow Midwesterner (WI) to you: Thanks for this special look at Mexico through your eyes.

[@EatBailaTravel]

this is the sweetest comment, Heidi, thank you 🥹 we read it when it first posted and I read it again and again for encouragement ❤️ we are self-taught and have invested MANY hours and resources to be able to do this as well as we can! thanks so much for rooting for us, Heidi 🙏🏽

One thing I notice about the places in Mexico that I've seen in these videos: people. People are everywhere. Families. Old. Young. Just people out living life. That is so cool.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Right?! We’ve noticed that too and that’s the kind of environment we feel more at home in. Even among our own families back in the US, people start to grow distant, don’t gather as much as they used to, while in Mexico gathering feels so effortless…

[@beachlife8367]

@Eat Baila Travel Totally agree. I went to a funeral about a week or so ago and the preacher said that the only time people get together now is when there is a death. That we don't have family reunions like we used to. Your point is so...on point!

That was a spectacular video! I feel all the things that you expressed about religion. (That is, there are aspects that have pushed me away from it) But in this setting and combined with indigenous tradition there's something about the love, sense of community, and respect that makes you feel like you're part of a greater whole. And the sheer pageantry of it all is awesome. Your video production quality is on point. I personally love nothing better than a good festival video.😍

Wow! What an amazing place . I am from Michoacan, too! I look forward to visiting again for the first time in over 20 years!!! BUT, just like I am realizing that Michoacan is an amazing place, I am also realsizing how amazing my Catholic faith is, too! I was lied about Catholicism and the History of the Catholic Church, and when I started to realize how haters twist the truth and emphasize the bad, it made sense to me. So I am not ashamed of being Catholic, I am now MORE proud of having been born into that faith, the faith of my ancestors as you can see there in Quiroga, and I am not ashamed of being from Michoacan. Thank you for this video! God bless you!!!

Great video guys & so pleased you are ok.....I did the same when I was 16 an old man driving past & I was stuck 50 miles from home. He said he was going for his weekly Sunday drive whilst wife cooking the dinner. He drove all the way & it was the most scary journey of my life. But fortunately, got home safe & so grateful he was a sweet old man but could of been so different. BTW love the hat Jenny, so cute😁

In the USA, Catholicism is a religion. In Mexico it is a culture. Remember a lot of the heros of the country were priests . Hidalgo for example. To this day a lot of the people fighting for the rights of the indigenous and fighting against cartel violence are Catholic priests. I agree with you 💯 but try to look at it through their eyes as well.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yes of course! That’s why travel is so important to us. It gives us the opportunity to see many sides of life and opens our eyes and minds rather than simply believing what we’re told. And you’re so right, Catholicism is so deeply embedded into Mexican culture, it’s definitely a part of who we are even though it’s not a central part of our identity nowadays. We’re so glad we got to experience this festival in Michoacán to see more of the good that comes from Catholicism when community is at the forefront ❤️

As a part time Uber driver in the US, I can say that long rides are generally better than short ones, but when you go completely out of town you are faced with the probability that you will be going back to town empty. I don't think Uber really accounts for that. One thing that can help with a decision in this situation is to look at the number of rides the driver has given or the length of time he has been with Uber. That info is available in the app at least in the US. Another alternative would be to leave the ride on the app but promise a tip of 50 or 100 pesos.

[@EatBailaTravel]

I didn’t even think to look into that information, we were in such a hurry 🙈lol but good ideas!

[@tabacum2]

I believe there is frequent local bus service from Morelia. You won’t find these buses advertised online. When I went to Pátzcuaro I asked my taxi driver and he dropped me off at a major bus stop on the side of the highway on the outskirts of Morelia. Not the main bus station, which is for the fancy long range buses. I know there are local buses that also go to/from Pátzcuaro, so it might be easier to bus to Pátzcuaro first, then explore around the lake. The local buses aren’t the most comfortable, but they are an experience! Uber in Mexico is always cheaper, more comfortable, and probably safer than taxis. When I was last in Morelia I was told that Uber didn’t operate there. My hosts recommended always using a telephone taxi rather than flagging down a random car.

[@EatBailaTravel]

These are great tips!!

Las carnitas super deliciosas ahi en Quiroga (Tambien en Zamora y en la Piedad). Era una de mis paradas favoritas en mis viajes de Zamora a Morelia. No se ahora como este, pero hace como 25 anhos, muchos autobuses que viajaban de Zamora a Morelia y viceversa, hacian parada en Quiroga... Yo me bajaba ahi para comer algo mientras era hora del siguiente autobus. Claro que tambien habia autobuses que no haciand ninguna parada y esos eran mas rapidos para cuando no tenia tiempo. Por cierto, la mayoria de la gente de michoacan son buenas, calidas y amables pero es bueno no confiarse por que uno se puede topar con gente no tan buena.

[@EatBailaTravel]

that's actually one of my pet peeves lol when people from Chicago talk about how much "more" dangerous it is in Michoacan... like um... no lol. In Chicago, you're more likely to be a random victim of a violent crime. In Michoacan, the randomness is much much less likely.

Baila Fam! Let's see if we can get this channel to 17K followers by the end of the year!!!!!

[@EatBailaTravel]

🥳🥳

[@cindyk3076]

Wonderful video!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thank you very much!

[@julioalvarez2836]

Damn, those carnitas looked nice and juicy! Looks like Michoacan has some very nice towns :) Man, I may have to go there next! There's a place in Queretaro named Boye that has some bomb barbacoa and pulque if you guys are ever around! Always be careful with taxis or ubers that seem fishy, I rode with a cab drive at the Airport in Mexico City that was not commissioned through the airport services and he charged me like more than double for a ride. This was over 20 years ago, I remember the guy paying a police officer a "cut" for watching his cab.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Dang! Yea there are fishy people everywhere and we let our guard down but thankfully nothing bad happened 😅 and mmmm barbacoa!!

[@waynevandermeer3050]

What episode was it? Was it the chicago espisode?

[@EatBailaTravel]

Are you asking about the Netflix taco chronicles series?

[@waynevandermeer3050]

Yes.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Oh! No these were featured in the Carnitas episode. Season 1 I believe

[@jetlag737]

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thanks for the thumbs ups, guys! 🤗

[@ovh992]

Girl! You don't know who to thank??? Are you sure you are Mexican??? You ALWAYS thank Nuestra Virgen de Guadalupe!

[@EatBailaTravel]

I have a complicated relationship with Catholicism 😅

[@lasvegasvegas4236]

No you don't. Thank whoever you want. Thanks for the video. 🇲🇽

[@Ali3nboy]

I want some carnitas rn 😭

[@2GringosOnTheGulf]

Delishicious 😋

[@EatBailaTravel]

The best we’ve ever had 😋

[@Nismo1983]

Puro Michoacán !

[@EatBailaTravel]

Michoacán ❣

[@ultratica1]

Thoroughly enjoyed your adventure! Im so tempted , but being elderly im cautious.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Do you live in Mexico? Because if you do the safety could be relateable.

[@charlesshen4842]

Uber? Haha, same story here. From Puebla to CDMX airport, Uber offers M$1600. Two drivers declined and the third wanted to negotiate out of app. We ended up with calling a taxi for 2400.

[@EatBailaTravel]

yikes lol yea taxis are often more expensive but I understand wanting to be on the safe side! something we probably should have done

[@marciejade1408]

First, those carnitas, want them so bad lol. As for the off records uber ride, this is becoming quite common. Uber and Lyft are just becoming so bad with their drivers cutting lower and lower. Then they don’t give raises for gas prices. However I feel like you it’s still scary as their is no tracking going on. Best thing is to trust instinct. Glad you guys were safe ❤

[@EatBailaTravel]

Yea honestly I really felt for the guy because I know how unfair those corporations are! Thankfully our gut hasn’t led us astray just yet!

[@pedrozatravel]

That lady recommending Grand Central Market cracked me up, Grand Central Market is OK but it is no Mexico. It is the place you go when you miss Michoacán. Regarding the uber, sometimes what I do is I will take a short ride with an uber driver and if I like him I will offer to "rent" him for the day, usually the drivers are very happy because they get all the money and I get a cheap chofer for the day.

[@EatBailaTravel]

LOL I mean I don't think any carnitas anywhere outside of Michoacan can compare... except MAYBE Carnitas Uruapan in Chicago... 😅 Netflix just released their latest season on tacos in the USA and featured them. And if we weren't in such a hurry, we might have done that, too! poor planning on our part!

[@pedrozatravel]

@@EatBailaTravel I haven't had carnitas in Chicago, but I doubt they can compare either.

[@EatBailaTravel]

@@pedrozatravel now that we’ve tried them in Quiroga we’re gonna compare the Chicago ones next time we’re in town!

[@Nottyboy50]

You guys should consider checking out some of the other people featured in the Taco Chronicles series.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Ah actually we have! The birria tacos from Aguascalientes. And the birria tacos from Chicago - this one is in our first vlog ever from 2 years ago and Netflix just recently featured the same restaurant in their latest season 😁

[@EatBailaTravel]

But definitely want to keep checking out more!

[@dariamancini963]

I tried The Michoacán style (Michigan).in cuauhtémoc CDMX and it was pretty late in the day and I was under the weather but I'm guessing they're not as good as the ones you feature here

[@marurojas4377]

Salen autobuses de Morelia a Zamora, Zacapu, Guadalajara, etc cada 15 min, todo el dia y todos pasan por Quiroga. No entiendo por qué dicen que solamente hay 2 al día. Tal vez que van únicamente a Quiroga y ahí paran.

[@martinpnolascoable]

actually its very common in Mexico for uber and diddy drivers to ask you to pay them in cash or they wont take you. it happened to us in cabo san lucas. we just came back from morelia and one of the drivers told us that he would only take us to Patzcuaro if we paid cash.

[@EatBailaTravel]

We’ve paid drivers in cash before but would usually think twice about it in states where kidnapping is more frequent.. if we’d done our homework with time we’d probably have felt more at ease about it but it all happened so quickly!

[@monicaornelas-cardona709]

Carnita's Don Carmelo is the original

[@EatBailaTravel]

They were delicious! Impressive how the recipe has been passed down for generations

[@cristobalsaavedra1459]

Orgullo Michoacano

[@abelmauricio3453]

La corunda se come sin la hoja 😂😂😂

[@EatBailaTravel]

🤭🤭🤭 lo que es no saber... jejeje gracias!

[@anli9730]

I am from El Salvador and was just there in March. There are so many off grid "uber drivers" bwcause they know they won't make as much $ if they sign up officially. That way theu can set their own rate and factor in if the ride will be worth their time. The drivers I had were trusted family friends though. I would NOT take a ride from a random off grid "uber driver".

[@glodelta]

Great work describing the real deal, nothing carnitas from Quiroga Michoacán.

[@EatBailaTravel]

the best carnitas!

[@cobalto_42]

But, why that video title? Morelia, Quiroga, Pátzcuaro son muy tranquilos. Ya para Uruapan y mas abajo si hay mas peligro, pero básicamente para la gente que anda mal solamente.

[@EatBailaTravel]

maybe you didn't get to the part where we talked about this in the video... but we ordered an Uber from Morelia to Quiroga and the driver asked us to go off the grid and we agreed to ride with him off the app and pay him in cash. But what if that had gone wrong? To get in a stranger's car without tracking would be a risk in many places I think

[@joseluissanchezandrade3098]

Don't be afraid yall ,michoacan is not dangerous

[@EatBailaTravel]

I'm gonna disagree with this one because if we're talking about the state as a whole, well some parts are dangerous while others are not
