So glad you made this! I love this part of town!

[@tiamarrow6366]

Honestly……my two favorite types of food are Mexican food, and Italian food. I feel like Mexicans and Italians, they know how to create some incredible foods, with even just a few ingredients.

[@VivKittie32]

Oh me too… it’s total 6’s. The two greatest cuisines on earth.

[@-108-]

True. That being said, nobody in NY knows how to make Mexican food. They absolutely kill it in the Itanian food dept., but Mexcan food and NY do not go together. At all.

[@TheLace]

NAILED IT

I’ve had the Barria Pizza from La snackaria and it’s amazing. It’s basically the barria taco but made into a pizza and it’s addictive and the people there are really great. Here’s the deal, there is a huge growing population of Mexicans in nyc making the food so you truly are getting authentic food. I am so grateful to be trying something different.

[@bxkiddo4096]

authentic? 🤨

I am truly DIGGIN your vids since I found your channel yesterday. I mean binge watching them. I actually made Mexican Rice and Chicken Enchiladas for dinner last night. YUMMY!! Unfortunately, I have not visited NYC in years and I only live a train ride away. (bcuz of Health reasons) BUT, because of your vids and all of the DEEE-LICIOUS places, trucks, etc. you have shared with me, I am going to make it my business to learn how to get around and visit as many as I can and enjoy MUCH of the food you've shared. Esp Mexican Food. I LOOOOVE, really LOOOOVE me some Mexican food. And, your wife is such a cutie too. Thank you so so much. Arlene

Omg I just walked into La Snackeria NYC randomly on my last day here. Knew it looked familiar when I was looking around. Forgot to make note of it. It was pretty close to where I was staying all along 😊 Just about to eat 😋

Just discovered this channel and I'm absolutely loving your style and content, my man. Greetings from LA! Can't wait to one day eat my way through The Big Apple.

It certainly gets almost no publicity in comparison. I knew their was amazing spots there just had to find a guide.

As a California Mexican it’s so interesting seeing Mexicans speaking with a NY accent. I’m not used to that! 🤣 The food looks delish. I agree with you about discovering the local small businesses with unpretentious, yummy food! Those are the best. 😋 My husband is Brazilian and never speaks Portuguese with me…I’ve been losing it. I feel you! Saludos, always enjoy your videos! 👍

[@grahamsmith6210]

hm honestly they just sound like Hispanic accents to me, you're not gonna find any Mexicans that sound like Bernie Sanders lol

[@rgdssd]

@@grahamsmith6210 We Californians talk like Valley girls. You know, the stereotype in the movies (like, oh my gosh!). Or, like Chicano cholos, slow and long (What’s up ese!). 🤣 Very different from a New York accent. Hispanics come from many different cultures, so there’s no such thing as ‘a Hispanic accent.’ There are many accents. Bernie Sanders is in his 80s dude, and he’s from a Jewish family. That’s a unique accent.

[@justotorres8970]

I don't know his accent is very Mexican sounding even for living in New York. Mexicans have that slow relaxed Spanish sound .
