My mother makes her mole not as sweet, a little more spicy. It depends on the region of Mexico where they’re from on how sweet they make it. Personally, I don’t like it too sweet, and like a bit of spicyness to it

[@lalathe619]

So does my mom, i dont like it sweet to well

True Mole uses cabbage and radish. If the mole doesn't use it, then it is no real mole. This my grandmapa taught me very well.

[@310kobu]

I'm Japanese living in LA for decades. When I tasted Mole first time, I thought it's made with beans and some Mexican spices as Satoshi thought. That's why it was interesting to see ingredients when my Mexican friend showed me how to make it. Mole sauce is so yummy!

[@chihirofujisaki6807]

Mole is from Oaxaca Mexico!

[@TheEDS1971]

Mole comes from "molli", which means "sauce" in Nahuatl... there are thousands of variations of moles, being the ones from the regions of Oaxaca and Puebla the most famous. Moles are made with dried chilis, peanuts, cocoa, banana, sugar and many many more ingredients... there is not one single recipe for moles and at any single "mercado" you can find at list dozens of variations that will go from very "picante" (hot) to not picante at all. Outside Mexico you will find some variations adapted to locals, but if you want the real deal you must come to Mexico City, Puebla de los Angeles or the city of Oaxaca... And yes, it helps to have Mexican friends when you visit... Mexican people are warm and love foreigners as friends, we like to share our culture and learn yours in exchange, just look for us if you're planing to have a trip to Mexico (or even if you're not, because you just might learn and teach a lot). Sayoonara!

I like the video and how you compare Japanese and Mexican food! I would like to say that “taco shells” isn’t really the proper term. It’s just a tortilla! ❤️ I’d like to see what other people think.

[@tosht2515]

*_Mexico City_* is the most underappreciated city in North America. Shinichi and Satoshi should definitely visit. I spent 15 days there earlier this year and fell in love with everything; especially the food and the people. There is so much to see and do, day and night. Love Mexico City.

[@ATK.]

The only thing you need to try is Horchata and you’ll be hooked on it

[@tofu_golem]

Japanese people love horchata. I'm addicted.

[@mangoluverr]

OMG YESS AND HIMMICA 🤤🤤

[@emalinel]

Yes Shinichi, you are right! Mole is traditionally made with unsweetened chocolate, a variety of dried chilis and often an assortment of seeds or nuts (that may be why it has that similar depth of flavor like doubanjang or miso). There are some other ingredients more or less but it varies by region where the mole is made :)

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

I was thinking the same. I've never had mole, but the recipes I've seen usually contain peanuts.

[@coffeesticks_03]

My mom buys the ready made Mole base and adds peanuts, toast, and spices to it

[@sylkates]

I have heard that mole varies a lot, even being wildly different from chef to chef. It's my favorite part of Mexican cuisine, especially the varieties with cocoa in them. They don't have to be sweet! I prefer the ones with cocoa that are very savory.

[@freakyguro]

Kinda. Some chicken mole will have them, but usually it's just chiles and broth in most moles and sauces. I never met one mexican from my region of the mexican diaspora that uses chocolate, but the southern mexico sorta does for certain mole dishes.

[@emalinel]

Nice! I didn't know that. I learn something new every day :)

[@mindysmom6132]

Brothers......I just love how you’re both depicting parts of LA. I’ve lived here since 1978, and I’ve been to Olvera St., maybe 3 times. I drive right by there to go to Philippe’s for a lamb dip sandwich, a few times a year. I love how lively and colorful everything is. I’m glad that you got to try mole. My mother-in-law used to make mole with the leftover turkey right after Thanksgiving. It’s too bad that your plate didn’t have the tortillas on the side, so you could build your own taco and control the amount of sauce. Mole is so yummy when eaten with some of the rice and/or beans. 😋 I’m glad that you had a chance to try some sweets too! The coconut candy looked good, but that fig-yum! Great video! Thanks for sharing! It makes me want to visit Olvera Street again!

[@BleedTheWineUnholy]

The tacos were wrapped in two tortillas. Taco shells are those crunchy things Taco Bell uses and are 100% not Mexican lol thank you so much for being so informative and respectful of our culture!! 😊 Edit: I forgot to add this tip. To eat a taco, you hold it upright (the way you two did it), but you tilt your head to the side to take a bite. It makes it much easier and you're less likely to break your taco that way. 👍👍

[@BellaBoo0725Morenita]

Thank you so much for taking the time to get to know our beautiful culture and cuisine!!! It was adorable watching you guys try it and love it! Also, i have never had bean paste and wondered what it tastes like... tickled me to hear it is similar to mole...If you guys make it down to Tijuana i would be happy to give you a tour with my husband and family :)

[@rall860331]

11 dlrs for tortilla soup? That must have been a tourist trap. About the mole, there are a lot of different types, “black mole” (the one you had) is always made with chocolate, but there are some that are really sweet, some are quite spicy, and some have a deep smokey taste. There’s also red, green, pink, yellow and some that are like region exclusives. I think that the best comparison to a Japanese dish, would be the curry, as in, that it’s made with a lot of spices and only grammas really know how to make them.

[@TabiEats]

I am intrigued with Mole.

[@theejayzeeable]

+TabiEats To add to your intrigue, there are different types of moles too. Lol. Overall, as far as homestyle Mexican food, you haven't even scratched the surface.

[@DerpTrollson]

Ricardo Llamas lol I know. I live in Mexico and tortilla soup here is 3 dlls

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

I am so damn hungry now. It's like 2 a.m. and I'm a little drunk and starvingggggggggggggggggg

[@madock345]

That mole probably did have chocolate, but it wouldn’t taste like chocolate you’re used to because it’s very pure unsweetened cocoa powder, not processed into something you would eat as a sweet. This was really neat to see, thank you :)

[@soobunnie_]

I love how excited and respectful you guys are, it makes me happy since I'm part of the Mexican culture.

[@R.N.19]

I totally agree with the soy bean paste comparison. I had Japanese friends in Mexico who introduced me to soy bean paste and it had a sort of coffee/chocolatey taste. Now that I think of Mole sauce it is the closest thing to compare to in Japanese cuisine. Mole sauce can be different throughout Mexico, the best supposedly from Oaxaca due to their chocolate production. I like that you tried the tortilla soup, one of my favorites, I like eating it quickly so the tortillas are crunchy and not soggy. If you add chunks of cotija cheese, the texture becomes like tofu in Miso soup. I hope you continue to try different Mexican dishes since Mexican food like the Japanese say is "Umai!"

[@jasonbolaski6014]

When they hear mole is made with chocolate... mind blown

[@rocdeca77]

people think that it's made with chocolate, but it's really a very small amount of it that actually goes in the mole. the chocolate that is use is chocolate abuelita or Montezuma you can find them in the Hispanic section of any market. what gives the rich dark brown color is the different kinds of chiles that go in the mole. I love my mole a little sweet but spicy. it's so good over chicken or turkey and Spanish rice and delicious the next day as mole enchiladas or sincronizadas. mmmmm.

[@carlosmante]

@@rocdeca77 Chocolate Abuelita is not Hispanic it is Mexican. "Montezuma"?????? Really????? Hispanic people and stuff can only be from Hispania. .Mexicans are from America. .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispania

[@rocdeca77]

@@carlosmante what does that have to do with the price of eggs??? I know chocolate abuelita and Montezuma are MEXICAN chocolate brands!!! MOLE is a MEXICAN dish!!! but people think that mole is made with chocolate when in fact there is very little chocolate added to the dish!!! and for your 411 you do find those chocolate brands in the Hispanic section of markets!!!! I should know, I've been doing the food shopping for my family for the past 28 years and making mole from scratch with my family since I was a kid!!!! I'm Mexican and a naturalized citizens of the USA and I love my Mexican heritage so much and have passed it on to my daughter's and now my grandkids!!! by the way I've never seen a Hispanic isle in any market like Safeway, Albertsons, food for less, lucky' s,.whole food say Mexican section, they do say Hispanic section!!!! why are you arguing anyway???

I like how y'all put so much information in to the videos. Y'all should try authentic tamales

[@jayhargis9584]

It is really hard to describe foods at Olvera Street as “authentic Mexican.” Even in Mexico things like tortilla soup, burritos, nachos, taquitos (the local specialty of Olvera Street), etc., are really products of American or at least Texan tastes. This is not to say I don’t like them. Mexican foods are (not unlike Japan) regional specialties. What passes in the US for mole is an attempt to make mole poblano (mole from Puebla). Real Mexican moles from Oaxaca, Mexico (and there are different kinds) can be had in Los Angeles at an authentic Oaxacan restaurant called Guelaguetza which ironically is in the Korea Town area of the city. Try it next time you are in LA. It will make you want to visit Oaxaca and other parts of Mexico soon.

[@Lucyinthskyy]

Jay Hargis real Mexican mole aren't just from Oaxaca.

[@jayhargis9584]

Lucy never said they were the only kind. I prefer mole poblano from Fonda Santa Clara in Puebla and the DF myself. Still the best moles are made by madres y abuelas.

[@jayhargis9584]

Diana M. Fair enough. Still they are the best (and most authentic) Oaxacan restaurant in town IMHO.

Salvadoran from LA County here and glad to see you guys enjoying the local food. Also, nice hat homeboy lol I have one just like it. ✌🏽😎

[@armiacosta7872]

I'm so happy you went to LA! :) Great video! I hope to be able to run into you in LA or Hawaii!

[@DanielRodriguez-xr4qn]

This food looks alright but there's always people that have better cooking skills so it's always wise to look around and maybe ask locals about the best places to eat at.

[@MaNkYmInX]

Great vid guys. I was salivating watching you two eat! lol

[@lucyhg2010]

eww

[@elizabethgarciaaguilar1705]

You guys ate my childhood meals! So delish takes me back to when my Granma was alive. 💕💕

[@paohaqui]

I'm so glad you tried authentic mexican sweets! Almost anyone tries them here. I hope you come to Guadalajara, México someday!

[@joselegaspi2549]

You'll be surprised how different Mexico's food tastes compared to the cuisine here in the US, it's all about the ingredients. Here some dishes get the Americanized touch. Go and try authentic "Tortas Ahogadas" from Guadalajara, those are exclusive to the region (i think) or the real "Mole" (Mexican chocolate curry" from Puebla, the mole there has so many ingredients and can't wsit to try it.

[@gilgomez2012]

Mexican Food...and real Mexican candies...like the ones I saw on this video...are just amazing...I love my Country

[@smallkitten769]

I love how you got excited about the candy in the beginning than about the chips.

[@marsellar3441]

it’s really cool to see you guys trying Mexican food! next time you guys should stop at a taco truck or a taco shop, personally that’s where I think you’re gonna find some of the best and most authentic food, and ESPECIALLY the best tacos 😉

[@miguelmarquez4192]

Marsella R fo reeeeeeal lol

[@theejayzeeable]

That would just be street style type of food. For homestyle dishes, they need to go to a real restaurant.

[@jellyking480]

+Jay Zee not at all. I'm Mexican and ik what authentic Mexican food is most of the people at Mexico have food trucks and they have delicious tacos there

[@vanessativa2418]

It looks like you enjoyed your small taste of Mexico 👍👍👍👌

[@HelloKittyFreak96]

Y'all are making me hungry, I'm going to ask my mom to make mole today cause it's my fav :)

[@hiimacrazyguy]

Mole in general is very rich and complex as many of the ingredients are toasted or lightly fried. There's also a ton of ingredients, like at least 15 or so in the simplest recipes, up to dozens of them. I like my mole spicy, slightly sweet and chocolaty, and quite nutty.

[@francesherobsessions9503]

The mole tacos looked so good! ❤️

[@valeriacalderon7565]

Omg i didnt know about this place in LA... Its so crazy, it literally looks like you are in my country... I guess it make sense, let's not forget California used to be part of Mexico😝

[@conservative_Redskin]

Not to be political or start arguments but before claiming stolen land kmow that southern California belonged to us of the Tonva ,Kumeyaay, Serrano, Cahuilla, Tataviam

[@jobbailon2951]

@@conservative_Redskin what do you think Mexicans are? Or where they come from? Do you know anything about Mexicans?

[@JustReckles5]

@@conservative_Redskin I don't think she said that the land was stolen at least from the now edited comment, but the gentleman that responded ahead of me is correct, Mexico is a land that is still filled with many indigenous tribes, Mexican people are just a mix of many cultures on indigenous tribes and European blood

[@conservative_Redskin]

@@jobbailon2951 not all but some of this so called Mexicans are the same people that robbrd me of my native language, culture and traditions. We were discriminated and in some parts still are, Mexico didn't even recognized us until UNESCO did. All of a sudden Mexico wants to claim it as their own give me a break .

Thanks for coming to our area! I wish we would have known! We could've had lunch with you too!

My husband who is from Mexico showed me how to make mole home made...it's a lot a work but worth it. I love your videos but the way.

[@orikinzg1212]

I am from Mexico and I live in Los Angeles and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the Mexican food in the U.S. doesn't even compare to the real thing. Take for example the cheese. I have never been able fully appreciate the Mexican cheese they sell. Like I eat it but it never really satisfies me like a piece of cheese from Mexico. Now Tacos is another food that will never compare to the ones sold in Mexico. The meat just isn't the same. You have to go to Mexico to experience real Mexican food. There are just way too many Mexican spices that I haven't been able to find in the U.S. So with that being said, if you ever find an opportunity to go to Mexico, do so and try the food over there and then come back to the U.S. and compare both.

[@joekidd777]

Your right.My in laws are from Michoacan. They always bring us queso de kotija from over there. It taste way better and has a much stronger smell than the one's made here in US.

[@melissanoelle410]

You guys are so great! May I kindly give feedback? When you eat a taco, the side head tilt is essential. You get the tortilla at the roof of your mouth and the tongue leading to an explosion of filling after you chew. Keep up the great videos!

[@josiasnds]

You're welcome to Mexico, you shouldn't doubt to come, Mexico its a cheap alternative to have a very nice trip of some weeks, depending of the region you want to visit.

[@gustavmh8423]

mole complex flavor ... it has about 30 different things on it jejejejejeje

[@Zenxolu]

Mexico's freshness is insane, meat is harvested on the day from the farm and arrives at the crack of dawn. Nothing is wasted in mexico
