England Eats Tacos

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

Soft tortillas are the only real tacos. You will never find "hard shell' tacos in Central/Southern Mexico, guaranteed.

[@daWatcher]

As someone whose mother is from Michoacan, I remember my mom making "tacos dorados" every once in a while.

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

Daniel Ayala Yes, both of my parents are from Morelia, Michoacan, too. And yes, I'm familiar with "tacos dorados" I still don't consider them tacos, they're more like flautas. Have you ever had corundas?

[@kokakoka36]

Patroklos Alexander corundas? nmms que es esa mamada jajajaja

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

Es comida del centro y el sur de México. Naco. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corunda

[@kokakoka36]

nadie come esa mierda nomas ustedes mugres purepechas

[@3lportalmxproducciones]

Those are not tacos...those are chingaderas.

[@chispakari]

Just to let you know... as a Mexican native who lives in Monterrey, Mexico, i can tell you all something... there are soft tacos and tacos dorados... the "hard taco shell " is actually a taco tostado which is not the same as dorados, dorados are not as hard as a tostada, and when we Mexicans in Mexico do a hard taco, we use a "tortilla roja" not the same yellow tortillas, they are called tostitacos by the way = "tostada + taco"

[@jackonthego]

Aurelio Villalobos thank you so much for explaining. I hope my video was not an insult to your heritage. I love the mexican cuisine and mean no disrespect.

[@chispakari]

it´s ok, not an insult, but i was reading a struggle between many people in the comments, and it turns out that they are not living in mexico, so all was full of confusion.

[@aliciaortiz2500]

+Aurelio Villalobos Porqué no escribes en español? tienes nombre y apellido latino

[@aliciaortiz2500]

Exact

[@pausa831]

+Aurelio Villalobos logic.. but good to know, been to mexico a lot and even Tj and left un scaved but seriously thats good to know, thanks

[@hell0hkitty]

i'm an american of latin descent, living in new zealand, and married to an englishman. we grow our own chiles, make our own mexican food, and we love it! i wish new zealand would open up a taco stand! they finally are selling corn tortillas at our supermarket, we lit candles to la virgen, we were so happy lmao

[@rlphmoran]

They just started selling tortillas? You poor people. Well, homemade tastes the best anyway.

[@avi.d04]

I can't wait to try tacos when I visit America

[@julzmax956]

Those tortilla's aren't even fresh bro. They look like packaged tortillas.

[@americabernai]

They probably are.

[@datboidego]

Tell me about it, I noticed right away, just the way they look and move you can tell it’s packaged

[@robertomoreno5526]

That don't matter. Now if they would haved frid the tortillas then they would have tasted a lot better

[@albertoalcantar3686]

Guys, it's English guy tastes Tacos for the first time, not England eats tacos.

[@galeno07]

Yup, sorry people, but real tacos only have soft tortillas.

[@danielernestoservin1935]

Nope, you are wrong, there is two kinds of tacos, one of them, are made with soft tortilla as you said, but the other kind, the "hard tacos", in México are called "tacos dorados"

[@galeno07]

Daniel Ernesto Servin Yes, but even those have as their base, soft tortillas.

[@raulciprianoyahoo]

Daniel Ernesto Servin Tacos dorados are completely different. They are also called flautas and they are topped with sour cream, cheese, lettuce and sauce. A taco is topped with cilantro, onions, and sauce.

[@danielernestoservin1935]

Nope, you are wrong, flautas are thiner than tacos dorados, you must learn the difference between tacos dorados and flautas.

[@gloireoflight]

Daniel Ernesto Servin Tacos dorados are topped with lettuce, cream, cheese and sauce as well. But there is a huge variety of tacos, we call tacos to everything that goes with tortilla, soft tortilla indeed. But the kind of tacos seen in this video should go with soft tortilla, topping with coriander, onion, sauce and a little lemon. Eventhough they look so dry =P

[@TabbyAngel2]

Aww Jason is adorable! Very nice of you guys to take him out :))

[@tht4hj]

Shell? I'm sorry but the soft outside of a taco is called tortilla!

[@MrSoldierperson]

Soft shell? Dude, it's corn tortillas or tortillas de maiz. C'mon now.

[@aq6737]

Its both!

[@FernandoMM]

Are you kiddin me?, this not is a taco, you should come to Mexico and eat a real taco.

[@DelphicExpanse]

Love it when you head out with fans of the show, its awesome

[@brandonchilian4625]

Also, the soft shell tortillas arent made from scratch. They come in a huge box and the restaurant users a steamer to make them soft, hot, and "fresh" again.

[@56viu]

Por favor paisanos no vengan a decir que en su tierra son los mejores que si en Tijuana que si en Jalisco. En todo mexico saben buenos los tacos. Cada lugar tiene su estilo

[@NukePower217]

These tacos are a disgrace compared to the true tacos in Mexico.

[@gloireoflight]

tom jones They don't look quite as tasty, they look so plain and dry, I don't know, but they don't look like true tacos

[@TrueMexico]

gloireoflight I think it's because the tortillas seem dry...in Mexico City they use corn tortillas slighly warm through steam with touches of oil from the meat making a glaze.

[@xxjerryxxramirezfernandezd5]

Asesino217 idk tacos in mexico get me sick every time i go :\

[@NukePower217]

xXJerryXx Ramirez you have a weak stomach

[@xxjerryxxramirezfernandezd5]

Asesino217 no probably cause most of them don't wash there hands, but its mostly when i visit Jalisco .. when im in Zacatecas i have no problems.

[@TheChocochococrispis]

It's not the same if you don't add lime and salsa :(

[@eddieluz8646]

Los tacos al carbon con tortillita echas a mano con sebollitas asadas y frijoles charros y salsa verde de aguacate el secreto tbien esta en una buena salsa rica

[@RastaPilot737]

Eddie Luz unos nopalitos no??? .... chaa bro me diste hambre jaja

[@dudewuttheheck]

The taco is more than the shell. An authentic tortilla is corn based and is used for tacos and other types of Mexican dishes. A true Mexican taco is a soft shell tortilla with meat (usually carne asada, goat meat, tongue, cheek, NEVER chicken) with cilantro and onions and usually with the option of putting salsa on it.

[@roqueespinoza7516]

para tacos buenos en México... jamás estos que hacen en USA tienen el mismo sabor. Cuando vuelva a México lo primero comeré una docena de tacos ja

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

Jason, should really go to Morelia Michoacan, or even better Mexico City, for some real tacos.

[@Da2hR]

Patroklos Alexander Los "tacos reales" los tenemos en todos lados jaja, sólo que en el norte tenemos esos que se llaman "tacos dorados" (que tampoco me gustan tanto) que uds los del sur llaman flautas pero nosotros tenemos otro platillo diferente que es la tortilla toda envuelta en bisteck o pollo y a eso es a lo que llamamos flautas.

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

David Holguín Yo no soy ni del Sur ni del Norte soy de Texas. Pero mis padres son de Centro México de Morelia Michoacán y obviamente he crecido con esa cultura ya que no acostumbra mi mamá a cocinar como en el norte ni la comida chicana. En Morelia también hay tacos dorados, y son diferentes a las flautas. Conozco muy bien la cultura que hay en el norte, y perdóname pero para mi sus tacos no son reales. Están gachos. Sus tacos al pastor no siempre están fileteados, y aveces ni son al pastor son adobados, nomas que aquí no siempre distinguen las dos cosas. O sus tacos de barbacoa hechas de rez en lugar de borrego. Para nada que ver los tacos y cuisine de centro-sur de México con los norteños. Por justa razón nombraron la cuisine Michoacána como patrimonio cultural de la humanidad. Pero bueno cada quien tiene sus gustos. Saludos. :) 

[@Da2hR]

Patroklos Alexander Pues bueno amigo, sólo me queda decir que con eso que me dijiste del pastor y la barbacoa no tienes conocimiento de la gente del norte, total, saludos.

[@TITANICLUSITANIA]

David Holguín No la tengo? XD si vivo a menos de cinco minutos del bordo de los EEU con Juárez. Y no conozco lugar que cocinen igual de rico ni igual que en el centro y sur. Ni uno! Y todos mis amigos norteños que visitan el centro y sur, cuando regresan me han dicho que no estaba nada equivocado al decir que lo de aya es mucho mas rico. Lo de los tacos al pastor no vayamos lejos mira esta El Cometa donde nunca filetean la carne y como ese hay muchos. Lo de que usan el término adobo y al pastor intercambiable pues ahí esta El Taco Tote, vendieron por un tiempo que tacos al pastor pero no estaban fileteados y estaban hechos con el adobo de sus mismos tacos adobados. Y en todos los lugares que hemos ido venden la barbacoa de Rez no de borrego, hasta mis amigos norteños piensan que tacos de barbacoa de borrego es algo raro. Nomas conocemos a un señor en Juárez que cocina la barbacoa como es, de borrego, y el ni es del Norte es del D.F. No fue mi intención ofenderte pero la verdad es que la cultura del Norte es muy diferente a la del centro-sur de México. es mas al menudo aquí le hechas que el grano blanco ese, en el centro y sur de México eso no pasa para nada....otra vez no fue mi intención ofenderte pero para mi gusto lo que hay en el norte no me gusta mucho. Tampoco me gustan sus Burritos los cuales no existen en el centro y sur. :)

[@Da2hR]

Y Juárez es todo el norte? jajaja, pues mira que ironía, yo conozco gente del sur y les ha encantado comida que tenemos aquí en el norte de hecho hace una semana invité a un amigo a comer a mi casa un guisado que no conocía y le fascino jaja, y pues que bien por ti, pero a mí me encantan los burritos, y aunque "no existan" en el sur es una comida típica mexicana reconocida mundialmente.

[@rbagel55]

Should have given him Tripas and told him what he ate later !

[@sauldiazbarrigajr.9003]

rbagel55 Lmfo good one

[@Keara20]

These episodes make me so homesick!! I want to come home to Cali so bad.

[@megancheng8551]

tortillas is the "wrap" or "shell" that encloses the contents of the taco. taco being the entire thing.

[@yaminahmed3682]

I am not Mexican or comes from Spanish-language background but I love soft taco. I really do enjoy soft taco. Salsa looked fresh, it did not look like store bought and tortilla looked fresh hand made. I like to go to this kind of restaurant.

[@jackonthego]

Noel, maybe we can have you join us on a Taco Wars.

[@patrickrobinson317]

I find this topic to be fascinating.The spread of Mexican food into Europe and beyond is way more than about the food itself. It's really about globalization, marketing, cultural curiosity and acceptance and much, much more.Thanks for making this video.

[@kyle7412]

and mexican food basically is a large mix of food from elsewhere. some things like chiles and tortillas are native to the region but the spanish brought over pork, chicken, beef, and a ton of other foods. depending on the region mexican food even has roots in italy, africa, germany? lebanon, and so on. in a sense it was birthed like modern american cuisine, just mixes of cultures from people immigrating and mixing cooking styles. there's never a fine line between different cultural foods as humans exchange ideas and recipes and new things are made. will continue into the future as well :)

[@gnawaserge]

kyle7412 bullshit!! you wikipedia internet snobs try to sound so knowledgeable, yet your full of shit and take the fun out of things. No way is Mexico influenced by Italian cuisine. thats stupid, no matter how many silly "facts" you pull out of your ass. youre probably going to say that its because of the tomatoes. nigga please.

[@kyle7412]

Tacos Varios really? have u been to every region of mexico and eaten the food there to confirm your statements??

[@gnawaserge]

kyle7412 Have YOU kyle?

[@gnawaserge]

Oh, and thank the Chinese for your railroads while youre at it. And maybe while youre at it , youll recognize Mexicos cuisine is far more superior to yours , since after all, food was the topic.

[@datboidego]

I think what that dude meant was that the Original tacos are the ones in cooked tortillas and there is multiple types of tacos

[@nlbrito80]

Best Mexican food in my opinion: Los Compadres in Norwalk, Angie's Deli in Norwalk, Gloria's in Downey, Cemitas Poblanas in Bell, La Casita in Bell, Tacos San Pedro in Hawaiian Gardens, Pollero 95 in Bell for Ceviche, and YaYas in Huntington Park for Tortas.

[@fetg9645]

Not all corn tortillas are hard shell. Hard shell corn tortillas are more American. And Flour tortillas are more TexMex

[@Galactusz007]

Yes you can make salsa without tomatoes.

[@MsNahualita]

Agree with your friend- tacos are with soft tortillas de maiz. NOT hard or fried. That changes the classification: flautas, tostadas, etc.

[@846524162]

We do have mexican restaurants in Europe and in last years lots of people started making their own mexican food at their home (europeans) and it became really popular. I think internet helped a lot, brought a lot of recipes into Europe. But I'm sure flavours are diffrent then Mexican and USA.

[@thisguyiknow]

The one guy says "You can't make salsa without tomatoes", but I've enjoyed plenty of salsas that don't have tomatoes in them.

[@purplegirl2603]

I'm mexican and I have never tasted tacos like those, you should get tortilla de maíz or soft tortilla made of corn and put inside almost everything you want.

[@Mandaloreish]

I agree with him, but I actually prefer both soft shell glued with melted cheese to hard shell makes the taco less messy

[@livnaway]

Unfortunately this place closed due to a fire. I am so bummed as this place was the best. I went all the time. Does anyone know where else is this good and cheap? I hate all those places with the tiny tacos with no flavor. Help me find another place like this in OC.

[@JuanHernandez-ub3ez]

civic center and fair view ask for a tlayuda especial

[@KeetyPooh]

Its like a bunch of grown men going on a food adventure time. Kinda like back in the day when you'd go on excursion when you were kid, it is kinda of elementary and quirky, but then again, that is what makes it fun to watch,

[@rammen4]

You should start doing food reviews love to be able to visit some of the restaurants you do in the UK!

[@spdbump]

New business for Jack, Jacks Taco Tours. Ill book one. great as always Jack..

[@cuteshrty]

My aunt works there lol. And My job's about a minute walk from Los Reyes.

[@RobertPeters4674]

Great video Jack! Sorry for your lose yesterday with the Cowboys vs Broncos! HEHEH!

[@pixarfreak1]

Jack you're awesome because you're not picky about your foods you try all food that's really cool.

[@8noctus8]

That Englishman was expressionless, like: (°_°) Yo tengo mis tacos favoritos en Mexicali y en Puerto Vallarta :D

[@JBP321]

People need to stop criticizing every time you see Mexican food served differently, I don't see what's the big deal, everyone eats different and however they want to. I'm a Mexican and the way I see it Mexican food is for everyone, country is unimportant.

[@snookie65]

A taco is a tortilla filled with meat, cheese, etc. A tortilla is the shell for a taco. :)

[@Thailadyandforeigner]

nice video...i enjoy with your video very much.

[@barrelroll92253]

There is some really good Mexican food in Big Bear Lake. You should check it out.

[@MrTachyon3000]

Yes YOU CAN MAKE SALSA without tomatoes. You can use tomate de oja, also known as TOMATILLOS.

[@PrefuncUK]

people in England have just different nutrition habits. But everything is ok if u remember to eat healthy! And do care about ur liver

[@pame4e]

Esa tortilla no es. :( Real tacos are made with tortilla de maíz :3

[@mellie49er]

they are corn tortillas, they just use the regular ones, not the small ones like most taco places :)

[@TrueMexico]

They are using corn/maiz tortillas but they seem dry. In Mexico the tortillas would be warmed up with steam making them softer and less hard looking like in the video.

[@xxjerryxxramirezfernandezd5]

Pamela Mtz they didn't dip them in the grease chill

[@RastaPilot737]

mellie49er they still look like packaged tortillas.... ughh!! I had to live without fresh made from tortillerias for 4 years in the US. Even the meet looks odd!

[@nlbrito80]

Honorable mention to Escabeche in Ontario for Healthy Mexican.

[@davidflores9220]

He's right a taco is soft

[@oooitzeli]

a taco is just the name of the food, the tortilla happens to be the base of it..you wouldn't go up to a restaurant and say "can i have a tortilla?" because they will just give you it by itself.

[@wideolink]

where is the next episode?

[@michaelpiseno321]

I've tried mexican food from CA, was very disappointed. Glad I'm in Texas.

[@lal2235]

thank humanity for tacos

[@ernestofigueroa101]

The traditional way to eat tacos is in soft shell. Hard shell have been more of the Americanized version

[@nlbrito80]

I've eaten in Tijuana, Rosarito, Cabo, and in Sonora... Nothing Notable, except for the fish tacos...

[@sherriwilliams6963]

We love you Edgar!

[@eddieluz8646]

Tambien ai quesadillas de tortilla de maiz doradas como shell en michoacan se comen mucho en las cenadurias o tacos dorados

[@cempakilispa]

true a real mexican taco is in a soft shell !

[@nlbrito80]

@Karen, they have close to 50 different types, accompanied by a few "Tacos de Papa" and I'm in heaven...

[@xirullzzo1635]

Do they delivered, Im freaking starving already!!!!! YIKES o_O

[@ExodusX13]

There are a few tex-mex restaurants in the big cities that are likely to do them but you can buy the ingredients at a store. Ol Del Paso and this other company Discover Mexico sell hard and soft shells. I have tried the hard shell ones but with chicken, It recommends it on the box and everything. And when I brown up the chicken season it etc it is awesome. Add some salsa, cheese and lettuce and it's the bomb. May not be authentic Mexican but this is the UK not Mexico.

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

Edgar should do the taco wars with you, he actually knows Mexican food and how to pronounce it :)

[@Elgrimm777]

There are several types of tacos. Depending on where you're from it can vary. Though I've been living in Mexico for over 4 years now and i grew up eating authentic mexican food. Anyone here would tell you that if you want real tacos its either a soft flour tortilla or corn tortilla. People on here are saying tacos dorados are hard shell tacos but if you compare the type of hard shell tacos most people think of when heard they have almost no similarity to a taco dorado. either way tacos are gewd... :)

[@jason323]

haha thats me!, wish id finished them all though, had to save some room for the next place.

[@wgonzo3964]

@ Jack on the go come to houston austin or san antonio we have some real authentic mexican taco just try one of the many food trucks around town.

[@alexisbv7094]

Best tacos are in Valladolid (Morelia).

[@BROKENMAN1981]

If only you guys tried Buche or tripitas, not to mention my favorite. Barbacoa

[@randomjoy8013]

What happened to the other UK show lol. At the end of this video you were going to take him to another place and it never showed up.

[@jackonthego]

yes we did. search for Joe Shmoes. We took him there next.

[@randomjoy8013]

Cool thanks, there's 21 numbered videos and 1 video (this one) without a number so it must be somewhere else =) I'll check the main folder.

[@randomjoy8013]

*Happy Dance* Thank you so much! BTW, I joined YT because of your channel lol. I kept running across it when I did product searches for info on new products I was seeing and for a long time I didn't know you did cooking shows until it automatically showed up in a queue of all your videos and voila - now I'm binge-watching everything like it's Netflix lol. Thanks again, love your work! PS I'm allergic to a lot of stuff so I have to go extra clean on stuff but I love how you make cooking so fun and uncomplicated!

[@pelutzza]

he didn't survive.

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

D: that "tortilla" is a no for me, but people from northern Mexico prefer it. Anyway, they looked tasty :) glad you liked them.

[@lovetoJazz]

"We all doing soft shell today " That's the only way to do it" "That's the only way to do it" "No it's not, no it's not" "That's the Mexican way to do" "Stop it , no it's not. Well, that sounded rude!! Edgar has his own opinion and I agree with him soft shell is the Mexican way. But hey if your talking about street tacos (taqueria tacos) typically the soft shell tortilla will be used, so that guy is right. Tacos dorados are fried tortillas but is not super hard like the hard shell here in U.S. Hard shell like Taco Bell uses is Not commonly used in Mexico, that's more of a Tex-Mex thing. Anyways I enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@whispermomasmrasmr8599]

All the guys, you do your shows with, have very nice manicured hands. Including yourself. Kudos

[@abdullahussien6683]

BEST TACOS GO WITH FLOUR TORTILLAS WITH BARBAQUOA AND CARNE GUISADA AND ASADA.

[@susanlawens3776]

Yes, only real tacos are made with corn tortillas, which are not crunchy, and there's two of them. It's not a "shell", it's a tortilla. I'm in Michigan, and I know that. The only real Mexican food in Michigan is in Detroit, or at a Mexican's house. But you'll find some really good and somewhat authentic Mexican food all over Michigan, thank God. Now I want a taco.

[@Eleverett]

We have a Taco Bell here in Manchester but they seem to only do Burritos!

[@oooitzeli]

taco dorados (hard shell, puffy tacos) are also true mexican tacos, and no not the kind taco bell sells..my family is from jalisco and hard shell tacos are just as important as soft shell ones.

[@sakunos]

Can someone explain me, whats the difference between taco and a tortilla? Is there even any difference?

[@davieparker9008]

What best way make good taco

[@alanhandleman6513]

It isn't a "soft shell", it's a fuckin' TORTILLA. Tortillas are soft and should be enjoyed soft and warm (until they get old and stale, and then you toast them and call them TOSTADAS, not "hard shells").

[@jackonthego]

no. I did shorten a few seconds off my new intro and trying to make it shorter.

[@DarkRAYAS1974]

valla un lugar en USA donde den tortillas blandas y no rígidas y como decimos en México con original y copia!! sea de dos tortillas para que no se desbarate el taco cuando lo tomes y lo vuelvas rollo !! tendrán la opción de tortillas de harina también !

[@mastertulkas]

Oh, my friends, you don't know what a real taco is. Those are similar, but the tortillas seem poorly made. Also, what's that soft/hard shell shit? There's not hard or crunchy or whatever you call it. There are deep fried tacos, but are rolled and are called flautas or tacos dorados. The closest we have to hard shell tacos are tostadas, but they are not u-shaped.

[@Dland_SMK]

Soft shell YA!

A taco is a tortilla with meat in it.

Mexican tacos are only done with soft tortillas not hard, that's more like texmex
