How 500 Pounds Of Lamb Barbacoa Is Cooked Every Weekend In Texcoco, Mexico | Big Batches

Inside El Pica 1 in Texcoco, Mexico, the original barbecue of the Americas is still being cooked low and slow inside of pit ovens. The restaurant’s lamb barbacoa recipe starts with wrapping lamb in long maguey leaves, and cooking it overnight for 11 hours to create a tender barbacoa full of sweet and smoky flavors. The restaurant sells around 500 pounds of barbecue every weekend for $10 a pound, serving nearly 1,200 people in two days.
We visited El Pica 1 to see how to make their lamb barbacoa, and what it takes to make such Big Batches.

As a New Zealander all I can say is for anyone who eats meat there is literally nothing more delicious than Lamb. But watching these people working together is just so meaningful to me because coming together to cook and eat together is such an intimate, bonding moment. It's something we all share and whether it's family, friends or even complete strangers. Breaking bread together or in this case cooking lamb its the ultimate human experience.

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved. Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed. Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions. Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope. Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome. Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey.

I agree with the commenter above me. You are missing out.

I think there is something quite special that even though there is demand for it he keeps the capacity he can sustain, plus 500 pounds and sells out weekly is absolutely astonishing.

This exactly. It's intelligent planning and guests expect every week the same. Come early to get the choice cuts and when it's sold out, we must return next week.

But despite all this, my takeaway from this video today, is that one sentence of Saul that sums up the key to his success - "It's not luck. It's work. It's about being consistent."

Hey❤️ I may not know you personally however I care about you deeply because I know how much you mean to Jesus Christ The King of ALL CREATION . I want to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so much, he died for our sins so that whoever believes in him wouldn’t have to perish in hell but instead have eternal life in heaven. You need to understand that HEAVEN and HELL are 1000% REAL they aren’t imaginary , and hell is a horrible place I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. God doesn’t want you to end up there he wants you in heaven and so he is giving you a chance to accept the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ and be saved. Day by Day the world is falling apart because we are literally living in the last days of Earth there is no doubt or debate about it, Jesus Christ is coming faster then you think to bring judgement to the world and to destroy it. This really is URGENT, it’s NOT A JOKE ,Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, you can be alive one minute and gone the next, please take this opportunity to be on the side of Mercy confess your sins and wicked ways to Jesus , sincerely REPENT/turn away from them, ask for his forgiveness, and be baptized at a real bible believing church- ask him to enter your heart and to be your Lord and Savior before it is too late , truly believe in him and he WILL do it because it is his promise. It’s important that you seek the righteous and Holy path of the Most high God so that you may inherit eternal life and be spared of Hell fire. You can begin a new life in Christ and have a genuine relationship with him, please repent. Jesus changed my life and he will change yours too🥰, He is coming NOW! not SOON- when you least expect it!, therefore repent and make sure you are prepared. May the Lord be with you eternally💕🙏🏾

Man you really have to appreciate the ingenuity behind developing this technique. I don't know what the history of this method is but I'm really curious as to how it was developed. Not to mention the resulting food looks spectacular.

[@jeffreysalvador7076]

An ancient chef trying new methods. I too wish to know his/her name

[@pablerry]

Actually this way of cooking was developed by the Olmecs they wrapped the meat in banana leafs they transmitted this knowledge to the Aztecs, but in central mexico there are no banana trees, so they improvised with what they had, and there is plenty of maguey all over central Mexico. Mayans did the same, but with banana leafs annato seeds, local sour orange, and created cochinita pibil.

[@icampos89]

@@pablerry Bananas are not native to Mexico. The Olmec used avocado leaves. They still use avocado leaves in a lot of places.

[@pablerry]

@@icampos89 The Mayans used papaya leaves.

Now I wanna build me one in my backyard. In the states people always telling everyone how barbecue started in the u.s somewhere in the northern states. And I am like wtf Barbecue started way before the English came to New world. I love the pit barbecue embedded in the ground like that.

[@jaguaregor4258]

“barbecue” traces their roots to the indigenous peoples of North and South America.

[@JoseSanchez-dk9tm]

Rite I always say the only culture America got is southern culture and most of that is culture they adopted from the indigenous natives or Mexicans.

We have so similiar kebabs in Turkey. So I can imagine how delicious those meat. Also looks extremely delicious with soft taco bread and salsa 🤤

[@tarzan343]

Tacos Al Pastor are inspired by Arab Immigrants to Mexico, although now it’s made pork somewhat like Doner Kebab

[@NoorAB23]

This is nothing like the kebabs wtf dude do you see how long it takes and the whole process just enjoy and stop comparing

[@irmaktektir6583]

​@@NoorAB23 we do use pits to cook lamb in Turkey and it tooks at least 24 hours or longer there are many types of kebab so you should maybe think and search before you comment

[@TuWear]

​@@irmaktektir6583That is true, but it is much riskier as banana leaves but easily and the food is not always cooked. Volcanic rocks is what is missing in Middle Eastern pit cooking.

[@mauricioozaki]

Now that is some mighty tasty looking grub!!! Nothing like making some homemade grub that is made with heart and soul. Tastes so much better when you put the work into making it taste great. ...You don't get that from fast food joints like McNasty's.

[@AlexZander688]

Another thing to note is this BBQ is being done at high altitude, over 2,000m/7,000ft. That is why you need to have plenty of moisture in your ovens. You have make adjustments compared to cooking at sea level.

Everytime I eat a barbacoa or a good mole I always get this huge sense of pride that the Raza has managed to preserve thousands of years of culinary tradition, going back to the old country and seeing the lady's make tortillas from scratch with a a metate is just an incredible experience. Plus the diversity of our cuisine is something that is extremely understated.

[@breal7277]

FYI-Mole does not rhyme with ole, therefore, the is no accent mark on the letter e.

[@farticlesofconflatulation]

There’s no é in mole.

[@KLK01]

[@elguapo5279]

Yeah I just found out that tamales go back thousands of yrs before Spain came to America, and also that the Apache Indians and other U.S Indians also have there version of tamales just shows how we're all connected

[@breal7277]

Thank you for correcting "mole" and I agree with you, the Raza ought to be extremely proud of not only culinary tradition, but the culture in general. Consider this: The combination of beans and rice creates a complete protein. Now, how on earth did the Aztecs and the Mayans figure this out thousands of years ago (beans and rice are a staple of Mexican cuisine)?

Just looked at some pics, that looks like literally every other gringo restaurant, and it's obviously a mediocre imitation. Why do you say cuisine of the region? Texcoco is just outside of Mexico city, the place with the textbook example of the opposite to gringo imitations, so, don't say that's my land's cuisine, please 😐 if you like that, enjoy it, but don't be disrespectful.

[@surudog4929]

Everything he does is similar to what we do in parts of India except the leaf being used is banana leaf. Once the meat is surrounded in the leaf, the whole thing put inside a jute bag and lowered into a pit which has coal or wood that was lit up a hrs before. Once lowered, the pit is filled with mud and allowed to cook for hours. Once done, the mud is removed, the jute bag is lifted up, then banana leaf is removed and then you have the cooked meat with all the spices added to it. But what is in this video is similar in idea, but I wonder what flavors that leaf adds. Great job and glad to see how well it was done and people enjoying it.

[@ottmarmontes]

Yeah I think in the Yucatan peninsula they use this method with banana leaves to cook cochinita pibil.
