I ate at TikTok's Most Hyped Restaurants In LA For a Day

[@KyleInTrouble]

I swear to God, only Raphael can make me sit through a whole 40 minutes long video and still feel extremely entertained. Like, I didn't skip a second. Your videos always manage to cheer me up. I usually watch them during my chemo sessions, so seriously- thank you Raphael. You are the best. ❤

[@melissadunton3534]

😂 same! I watch them during my weekly infusions. I absorb every min of every video too. ✌🏻🥰😊

Me too, I watch him during my dialysis.... Which I have three times a week for four hours...of course I watch others like hellfreezer, but he makes me Soo hungry.... But everything seems high sodium, sigh, wish he would do healthier options...

[@sumaita_khan]

I genuinely appreciate the length of your videos. They provide the perfect ambiance at the end of a hectic day. NO overwhelming music and overly enthusiastic commentary. It's incredibly soothing for both the eyes and ears, creating a truly relaxing experience. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

omg the fact that he picked a random house and said not to knock because "the baby is sleeping" .... sneaky smart Rapha! 😆

[@brokemomdiaries]

The fact that I am now binge watching your videos with my kids and started watching you when my eldest was just in my belly makes me so happy with what you said at the end.... I love your videos, it makes me inspired to continue working on mine 😊 thank you for being the most transparent person I know..😊

[@annaodonnellakagimpydragon9569]

Seventy dollars for a couple sandwiches and sides and a drink at a GROCERY STORE??? My wallet is sympathetically crying! However, I sincerely thank you, Rapha, for letting this poor woman live vicariously through you, all of my culinary dreams.

[@TessaYoung33]

I agree

[@annaodonnellakagimpydragon9569]

@kat31017 yeah, I quickly realized that when he was showing the prices, it definitely wasn’t like anything I have seen locally, even at our ‘fancy’ stores

[@meloveschocolate]

He did say the food was amazing too, so maybe some people treat themselves to that food instead of getting fast food or going to a restaurant. $9 for that portion of pasta is a whole lot cheaper than it is in my area

[@The.neverrending.story.73]

[@rae4166]

I NEVER drink carbonated drinks when eating spicy food. It legit doesnt help and feels like it makes it way worse and spicy lol

[@pinkheart315]

Yes it gets a Lil more spicy but helps digesting the spicy food. So you won't have any acidity. Milk and spices isn't really recommended where I live as both mixing together isn't the best for the stomach. If you can't handle soda then cold water is best and safest.

[@PhysicstIsaac]

it helps digest the starch they they fry it in

[@Bexks]

Good evening, I hope you’re okay girl? I’m sat alone (with my dog though, so not entirely alone ☺️)and wasting time watching videos and commenting for human interaction. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not sat here super depressed & desperate to talk to strangers. I just enjoy it and it gets me through my day sometimes (most times🤫) . Plus, I love ppl & being generally an extrovert I need to “vibe” with others. So I just wanted to say “Hi!” & let you know I see you (without wanting to sound trite) ❤

You are one of my favorite people...Really. Iv'e been following you for several years and you always make me smile no matter what's going on in my life... THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU RAPHAEL

[@jennifers2555]

Portos is Cuban. I live about 10 minutes from one location and we used to go there a LOT. But the pandemic kind of ruined Portos. They had to completely adapt (offering online ordering which they NEVER had, they didn't even have phone orders, you HAD to go to the restaurant and wait in the insane lines) but with that adaptation they eliminated a ton of great things from their menu. Like no more single slice cheesecake, and many other bakery items, a couple of their amazing salads, and for me it's just not.worrh the hassle anymore. They are cheap and they do a very good Parisian chocolate cake but.... they took away most of my favorite things. Also....the original founder Rosa Porto did pass away recently... In 2019. Also, that Postmates hack was genius!

[@slimmonkey3510]

Porto is okay but if you want genuine Cuban food go to Calle 8 in Miami. Genuine Cuban food

[@mamidegena]

Agreed, Miami has the best Cuban bakery and authentic

[@Kat31017]

you can't really blame them for having to adapt to the pandemic.

[@BrandonMusic09]

Idk what you’re talking about because they always have done phone order. I’ve had my birthday cake here for almost 10 years from phone order so that’s weird.

[@jennifers2555]

Yes they did phone orders for whole cakes but that's it. You couldn't call in and make a phone order for salads, sandwiches like a lunch or dinner for your office or your family. They did not do that EVER. So they started the phone/online ordering when restaurants were restricted to how many people could come indoors and they removed many items from their menu. Now that all restrictions are lifted they have not added back the items that they removed, which as I said were many of my favorite things and the reason that I went there.

[@faeb.9618]

tres leches is more of a latam cake honestly, it's pretty widely spread! it has to be really REALLY soaked and soft and moist

[@slicedandiced]

I really do appreciate that you put so much content into your videos. I have a severe heart condition. As a result, I'm often stuck at home. It's really nice to have a bit of an escape via your content. Your videos truly make my day. Thank you

[@dominiqueziers218]

Raphael, Porto’s is a Cuban bakery… also, if you aren’t getting the guava cheese pastry, you aren’t getting the Porto’s experiences

[@selenadevore2542]

[@Paperinparadise]

You need to get you an airfryer so that when you have these items left over just pop that stuff in airfryer and it will warm up and crisp up they are amazing!! Love your videos! OMG i died when you said someone thought you were Frankie Grande that made me lose it! Best laugh of the day

I loveee the extra content it’s so good, you just chill and try new foods. Keep eating well 😆💖

the 'chicken' brazillian food u like is called coxinha, raphael (: it can also be made with catupiry (a very popular type of cheese here in brazil, it's almost like it's own thing), a little bit of shredded pepper and parsley as seasoning. we have a lot of real good foods. if u wanted to do a vid trying, i would recommend: brigadeiro, pastel (the minced meat with egg ones), coxinha, pão de queijo, bobó de camarão, bolinho de chuva, canjica, pamonha, tapioca, guaraná, pudim, etc etc. idk how easy those would be to find there. i know some are (brigadeiro, pastel, coxinha and pão de queijo, guaraná i've seen a lot on international vids, the rest not at all XD). anyways, nice to see u enjoy

No way its better then homeade ! Cheaper to make at home too. Lets be honest though if you look around in the video or other people videos or on social media at the people who are shopping at the store daily it makes sense. Celebrities or rich spoiled teenagers who post it on snapchat or insta that either "dont have enough time to make food " " think their too good to make food themselves " or have unlimited supply of mom and dads money .

I thought that Raphael was in love with the spicy chicken sandwich until I saw him with the mochinut. Haha! I love what you said at the end of the video! I do feel like I’m right there with you and we don’t have the means to travel right now, but maybe in the future we can go and experience food at different places. I have been to LA and it was not what I was expecting. I thought that it was like in the glamourized movies where everyone is dressed so fancy and rodeo drive is glimmery with beautiful store fronts and there’s tall beautiful palm trees and you’d walk down the street feeling on top of the world. Instead, we went during COVID and all we saw was dead streets and homeless people on drugs and all the places didn’t let you use their restrooms.

I excitedly handed over my $15 expecting blissful crunches and string pulls of heaven! I got a half burned deep fried dog on top with half a cheese stick on bottom, no pull, no satisfying crunch.
