Just added all of these to my Puerto Escondido must eat restaurants. Thanks y'all!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Awesome! What’s your go-to way of keeping lists of places you want to go? We use flags on Google Maps but I always wonder what else people use 😁

[@chrislopez9156]

@@EatBailaTravel I make a new list for each city I travel to and save places with notes like "best oysters in town"

[@EatBailaTravel]

@@chrislopez9156 I would have so many lists I’d probably lose track of them 😅

It really is!!!

Great, this was great. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Kevin & Jenny.…now I have to finally visit Mexico with all the great places youre showing! Looks great and great videos!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Amal! Thank you so much for watching. If you ever want to meet us up in Mexico just message me privately. Jenny and I would more than happy to host you and take you around. ESPECIALLY if you want to come to Puerto Escondido! Saludos! I hope all is well -Kevin!

De berdad que ese café que rico esta se los recomiendo.

[@EatBailaTravel]

☕️ nos encanta el café

[@annasmithyates7424]

Everything looked incredibly delicioso! Will gladly check out those places.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Super delicioso! 😋thanks for watching!

[@shahjehan]

The food tour is off the hook well done. From camera work to narration this worked out great. Your productions are pro level lit.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thanks so much Ali! It’s always nice for hard work to be recognized 🥲 we really appreciate it

[@LuisFlores-ls4yy]

Holy, moly. That all looks wonderful.

[@EatBailaTravel]

What If I told you.... it’s even better than it looks? 😋

[@adolfohernandez3395]

This was such an important service for those of us planning a trip to south Oaxaca. Your eating locations make me want to go fly out there tomorrow! Could you also include talks with the cooks, and/or with the owners to get their perspectives of the food they serve as well as the history of their businesses? I think that would be cool as well. This was informative and entertaining. Mil gracias.

[@EatBailaTravel]

absolutely! We love to interview cooks and get stories. We love the idea and we will seek ways to integrate behind the scene stories! Thank you so much for the idea

[@lorill2631]

Hey! Just down the road from Chicago and heading to Oaxaca and PE… thanks for the tips! Be well!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Awesome! Enjoy your time there you’re going to love it! If you have any more questions or concerns message us Instagram!

[@KattieMetChris]

Awesome review and guide guys! Really well put together. Informational, and hunger inpsiring! If we hit la Juquilena we may never leave but I think for a single dish those smoked fish tacos are dream inspiring 🤣🤣🤙💖

[@EatBailaTravel]

All the food here makes us want to stay forever! 🤤🤤🤤❤️🥰

[@emmm_4465]

Non Solo best Italian food, it has lines all the time and was worth the wait

[@EatBailaTravel]

wow it's great to hear that business is looking good for them. Definitely worth it

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Thank you very much for this excellent overview! I was frantically marking these spots on my map app for our trip coming up in December. My resolution is to visit every one (and the gelato place)! I am particularly excited about three places I walked by during my last visit but did not try: El Viejo, La Juquilena and Non Solo Pizza. I just subscribed and will be toasting you in gratitude when I am enjoying these restaurants!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Glad to help Vancouver Dan!! Don’t forget to try the fish shack! We miss it so so much! We’ll be back soon we miss the food so much. Let us know if you any more questions when you’re out there! 😊

[@StephenandAndie]

Wow, this ALL looks so ridiculously delicious we don’t know where to start! From the sandwich and green juice in the beginning, the tostada de pescado marinado, and that Italian spot looks freakin’ incredible! Hand made gnocchi? Count us IN! “Japan meets Mexico… “ is the most intriguing & appetizing statement we’ve heard in a long time. YUM!!! So hungry now. 🤤

[@EatBailaTravel]

If you like seafood la tostada de pescado is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! The italian spot is so damn cool. The owner always has house music in the background which is super random but it's a low so not everytime we hear house music we crave italian food! lol😂

[@edwinayala6145]

Pastel de Nata! No lo sabia muchas gracias!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Lo maximo! No te lo pierdas!!!!

[@ricardoblacksabbath]

Non solo is the best italian restaurant i ever tried, for seafood i recommend el curandero

[@EatBailaTravel]

Non Solo is our favorite italian in Mexico too ❤️ and El Curandero yummmm 🤤

Cheers big ears! My first time in Mexico next year in January and the tastiest place straight out in the Oaxaca area (Huatulco, Playa Zipolite and Puerto Escondido), thanks Jenny and Kevin. I'll try! 😀

[@EatBailaTravel]

In Oaxaca you can never go wrong! We hope you love everything you try!

[@soypatriciagarcia]

Okay the chilaquiles , mole and everything in between looked so delicious but you really save the best for last 😍 Todo Se me Antojo 😋 Thank you for sharing Don't mind me saving the video 🤗 for future reference

Girl yes save the video! I only hope all of these places survive the pandemic 🙏🏼 so you can try them some day! Thanks for watching 😊

[@soypatriciagarcia]

@@EatBailaTravel I pray they do Too 🙏🏼

[@emjosh]

Great variety of food places in this video! We were in Puerto for a month, and didn’t get to hit all of these spots. Our favorite place was Tistal, but we liked La Juquileña too!

[@EatBailaTravel]

We ate so much but this was also in 6-7 week span. We have never heard of Tistal where is that located? You can never go wrong with La Juquileña our favorite amarillo de pollo was at el Mercado. Saludos!

[@emjosh]

@@EatBailaTravel It’s on the ocean side of the main highway (highway 200) across from Calle Virgilio Uribe, near the top of a very long pedestrian walkway connecting with Calle del Morro that’s like 90% stairs. Always worth the ascent though👌🏼 we walk there from Calle del Morro in our Waves & Caffeine video if you need some visual guidance🙂

[@vinyl57]

Great food tour video - loved it and all the different types of food that you had! As you travel over the next year, you will find there are so many types of mole - 20 - 25 at least. They vary as you travel, so what you find in Puerto will be quite different than what you find in Puebla (a real foodie town - beautiful old city). Enjoy and keep up the good work!

[@EatBailaTravel]

Thanks for the comment! We were so close to visiting Puebla back in January but the weather conditions were bad to travel from Orizaba to Puebla. We noticed the difference from mole in Oaxaca city to Puerto so we really look forward to trying the mole in Puebla soon! We’ll let you know when we head up there!

[@vinyl57]

@@EatBailaTravel It's definitely worth the trip. Saludos!

[@Godislovewillrule.wordpress.]

I was there years ago Would love to go again!

It’s growing so much I wonder how it might have changed since you last went!

[@Godislovewillrule.wordpress.]

@@EatBailaTravel yea, Hi! That is where I got stomach sickness. Some people from Germany gave me some pills and I got better quick. I remember it as a small town. I remember one Italian restaurant there with good prices! I liked it there!

[@renegadechoir]

thanks for hyping me up. gonna be in puerto for 8 days in mid Jan. wow. I am going to die from eating too much ahah.

[@EatBailaTravel]

awesome! say hi to the beach for us 😊❤️🏖

[@beachlife8367]

I watched this video before but wanted to watch it again because of all the food! One thing I like is that some of the food is only available at certain times or on certain days. It makes it feel like you have a mission or an adventure every day because of the limited availability.

[@EatBailaTravel]

that's so true! it makes it that much more exciting!

[@Ali3nboy]

Daym you guys went to some nice spots, makes me miss puerto escondido. Those smoked fish tacos were bomb, and fresh quesillo is amazing i would have that for breakfast almost everyday. Or some oaxacan honey with milk is just mmm

[@EatBailaTravel]

Those fish tacos were awesome! El viejo is an awesome person to hang out and talk to. Quesillo is amazing it's easily my favorite cheese(kevin). Oaxacan honey with milk? gotta try it next time!

[@janjacko1079]

We were in PE on february and its really amazing place for staying. Its wasnt our Last trip there.

[@EatBailaTravel]

It’s by far our favorite beach destination in Mexico.

[@39MercFlathead]

Estoy tan celoso! And I love the fact that everyone in Mexico these days are wearing cubrebocas. No jerks asserting their freedom to infect the world. Fantastic food. After we make the move, Puerto Escondido will definitely be on our bucket list of places to visit!

[@EatBailaTravel]

It helps that the police are quite strict on masks here! 2 hours in jail or $500 peso fine. Nevertheless, people are pretty good about wearing masks. And sanitizing. The food alone is good enough reason to visit but there’s also beaches and wildlife, so that’s cool too 😆

[@beachlife8367]

I could actually see Kevin and Jenny starting their own little restaurant or food shack. You can tell they truly appreciate good food and I bet they would create some great food themselves.

[@EatBailaTravel]

we've totally flirted with the idea of opening up a little cafe or something! 😉

[@KattieMetChris]

OH hells yeah! 🤙💖😎

[@EatBailaTravel]

😁✌🏼

[@ernestovargas853]

Kind'a late but here you are. Mole means simply "salsa", or sauce, in Nahua. Moles are varied and each State, even each town, has its specialty. They typically consist of a mixture of chiles, nuts, fruit and other spices. The ones made with chocolate are the mole poblano and the Oaxacan mole negro.

[@EatBailaTravel]

This is awesome thanks sharing ❤️

[@tanyagwilkins962]

Thank you for the restaurant recommendations. The food looks so yummy. 😉 how do you get to the different areas of Puerto Escondido?

[@EatBailaTravel]

Hi Tanya, thanks for watching! The city is very walkable, but the taxis are also very affordable. There are also colectivos and pasajeros (like climbing on to the back of a pick up truck with a blue tarp over it) for $8 pesos to get across town.

[@Godislovewillrule.wordpress.]

Are you glad you left Chicago? Wow! What food! Cant get it like that in USA! Best wishes! May God Bless you viaje

[@EatBailaTravel]

Chicago will always be home, but yes I am glad because leaving has opened up so many opportunities. The food was one of the many reasons! 😋 thanks so much for your comments, Joshua!

[@Godislovewillrule.wordpress.]

@@EatBailaTravel Yes! I also like the medical system in Mexico! I have gone to the dentist there for Many years! I don’t like it in USA at all! Too expensive, and not friendly like they are in Mexico.l like no appointment nessesary! I love Mexico. I know things are changing there too. But the worst part is returning to the USA!

[@EatBailaTravel]

YES!! 🙌🏼 looking forward to sharing some good food with you!

[@bluestarfishsea]

Wow that pasta place looks bomb! Interesting. Why are they calling that quesadilla an empanada?

[@EatBailaTravel]

Mexico has different terms for the same food which is very interesting. Here in CDMX a quesadillas doesn't have cheese which is so strange lol

[@stevegfromnc3482]

Wow, all that food looks great! I forgot to count the meals or outfit changes, so I will just ask: how many days did it take to eat your way through all that? ☺😎😂

[@EatBailaTravel]

😂 this comment is hilarious! We love it so much we’re going to pin it. We have been in Puerto Escondido for a month so that’s about as long as this Vlog took. Otherwise it would have been expensive to spend all that money in a short amount of time! Saludos Steve thanks for watching.

[@stevegfromnc3482]

@@EatBailaTravel Ok, now I just need to figure out which month I will spend there! 👍😎

[@rachel_Cochran]

I read somewhere that mole was a word that meant sauce in nahuatl So guacamole = aguacate sauce, etc

Correct! Original spelling something more like mol’li I believe

Love all the fresh fish options! But any beef? Not everyone is vegetarian.

Haha we’re not vegetarians by any means but when you’re near a beach seafood is the way to go. Puerto doesn’t have great beef but the north of mexico has amazing beef. When we go to the north we rarely have seafood

Great place and it's popularity has grown so much! That it's not a hidden gem anymore.

Ah srry you answered that lol, a oaxacan thang then? i feel like that’s not an empanada at all 😂

not sure but we just that yesterday and it was soo good.

And you never got stomach sickness from any food there?

[@EatBailaTravel]

In Puerto Escondido, I got sick once. I couldn’t tell how I got it since there seemed to be a stomach bug going around at the time and people were eating at completely different places. Could have been anything 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@andytiegs304]

so have you guys seen a place called La Vaca Loca? It is a bar owned by a guy I know in Sanderson TX. it is supposed to be not such a nice place. i've never been there.
