The Menu of the Day: Mexico City's Traditional Fondas

[@EdissonOrtega]

I love how Daniel mixes all his abilities in journalism efficiently to make the watcher actually feel invited. I am home, watching this video, and just thinking, "Diablos estoy con hambre".

[@Lexman00]

Mexican gastronomy is immense. It rivals even the most well known European and Asian cultures.

[@LifebyMikeG]

you're killing it with the new show Daniel, loving the feel and everything about it! hit up the brothers green next time you stop by the Vice head quarters in BK! We will surely get down...

[@ScarlettLopezFreeman]

I watched both this plus your Mx City video. Prepping for upcoming trip & looking forward!

[@erichenderson6515]

It's so good to see someone spot the authentic Fondas in Mexico, Fondas are the best eating establishments in all of Mexico because they just scream family.

[@RahimX]

More Mexico City please.

[@joelcastellon9129]

For all those who were commenting "finally something real".... on other munchies vids at high-end restaurants. You have no clue.... When you have a grandma pealing onions with her grand sons playing by her side....that's the real world in latin america, in case you didn't know.

[@junglevaquero1119]

This is such a stupid comment

[@chefmike9945]

Nicely done again! Keep sharing these hidden treasures. Blessings ChefMike

[@Jimq9258]

"took care of me and my 20 brothers." Wait what?

[@ninjalemurdude]

***** I used to think that my dad having 6 siblings was crazy...

[@Jimq9258]

Both my mom and dad have 7 siblings each which I thought was huge, but how is it possible to give birth to 20 *males*? lol

[@CharlieTecno]

Usually in méxico (or in spanish in general) when you say "hermanos", which means "brothers" you are refering to male and female siblings at the same time, not that she had 20 sons and no daughters xD

[@cyanfromdablock303]

Typically in Mexico during the early 1900's to 1950's women would begin having children as soon as they began menstruating, and would have incredibly large families.

[@rvggarcon]

This isn't a Mexican thing, it's a Catholic thing. They don't like to use condoms. Ask Mel Gibson.

[@PLATINUMVIPMX]

Take a look at the womans face when the guy says "PUTA" at 8:47

[@luisangelcastillo289]

Jajajaja a como de te voy a putear

[@sherryt6618]

Thank you Vice and Daniel Hernandez. More of Mexico or any other Latin American country please!

[@megad00die]

10:16 "Puta madre" translates into "Damn, I think I'm done"? Look at you trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the pinche wedos...

[@Bobany]

Carlos cincuentayseis Yeah if you are a fucking slimebag, you might want to translate it like that.

[@21qwerty9]

[@josemuniz2878]

Cool video Danny. Keep them coming.

[@OVRDSE]

8:47 Daniel said "puta"(bitch) it looks good" and the lady just stared at him.

[@noahgenatossio7166]

[@FusionExotics]

[@escope1959]

[@williv]

Why is Fred Armisen on Munchies?

[@walrusfy]

it's the glasses haha

[@usi6789]

And I'm over here eating 7-eleven taquitos wtf

[@vatoloco744]

Those aré the BOMB When I'd go broke that's all I would eat haha I wish we had those here in Mexico

[@Echolyktuz]

Man, there are so many great places to eat on DF. From the basic traditional fonda, to premium gourmet restaurants. If you ever go to DF (because you know you will, you can't deny) go to a restaurant called "La Parrilla Argentina" that's located on Delegación Cuauhtémoc. Most of their menu consist on grill and italian style dishes. They got a special that's so complete, it's perfect for 6. It has chicken breast, T Bone, ribs, chistorra (like chorizo but thinner), polish sausage... man. I'm wasting my time just telling you this, you gotta see it to believe it. Also the pastas are great, specially the ravioli with pesto. Also another good place is VIPS, a chain of restaurants that are all over the city. And like any respectable chain restaurant, has free wi fi. But you better prepare yourself when going there because, even though the map shows it as a small dot, it's a huge city. You can get lost very easy.

[@raulgaleana4940]

Thanks for the advice!

[@alex8353339]

That mole looked delicious!

[@waqqodonkey]

fuck yeah! with a side of rice and corn tortillas , wow!

Chingon mi raza 👍👍👍👍👍

[@celloman464]

Great vid, thanks!

[@MrFREDDY0406]

Thx, need to go back to Mexico

[@rocketplex8818]

The "Puta" most of slip out in front of the lady. Lol don't matter the language a bad word is a bad word in front of a grown up. Cool video.👍

[@farticlesofconflatulation]

Rocket Plex I was thinking the same. If I ever said that in front of an tía or grandma lord help me!

[@pandapanda]

Had to rewind to confirm it, but yes. He is holding a shot glass of what I'm assuming is some kind of mezcal/tequila in the back of a cab at 5 AM.

[@BarryH90dz]

this guy is awesome.

[@GilbertMeltcher]

Food Network must give him a program

[@mammontustado9680]

1:03 subtitles on: I think he meant writers, not rioters

[@polythewicked]

I’d kill for that chile relleno.

[@yonimiller]

Best dessert ever - 6:50

[@TheJfranco9]

lol I'm like an orange? wtf i have like 10 of those bitches in my kitchen.

[@andygolfr]

Is there any good seafood restaurant in Mexico City?

[@cyanfromdablock303]

I doubt it since there land locked

[@billypilgrim1]

Cyan Rivera So? its no like they cant ship seafood from the main coastal cities. Andy Vasavong Yes Andy there are good seafood restaurants in Mexico city and there is also a massive seafood market called la viga where you can find any rare fish and mollusc you can think of.

[@captainpooters6752]

Yeah. Plenty. Contramar is probably the most well-known. Barra Vieja is a good seafood truck specializing in northern (sinaloa, baja sonora ) cuisine.

[@Crvstyy]

Damn this made me hungry!

[@26alas]

El Poema! 👌

[@guillermogarcia-qi5pj]

I bet when he removes his glasses, his nose comes off with it.

[@efraingonzalez6708]

guillermo garcia that's fucked up 😂😂

[@robbydiesel21]

why cant i have a job like this?

[@Suite_annamite]

When it comes to Mexican restaurant culture, *what exactly is a "fonda"?* Is it like a *proverbial "hole-in-a-wall"?* As in the spot *looks ugly, but* the *food is amazing?*

[@Alas85]

Pretty much, a fonda is a hole-in-a-wall, usually family owned, that specializes in cheap menu-of-the-day called comida corrida (full course meals with dessert) and very few menu options. It's more of center and south thing, I don't know a single fonda between Baja and Nayarit, but I'm guessing there must be a few.

[@julzmax956]

I guess they have never eaten menudo.

[@Echolyktuz]

That shit's perfect for hangovers. There's a reason why it's on the breakfast menu, hehe.

[@GigiDelaRua]

pancita and menudo are the same thing!

[@gamalielgoodman]

Puro pinche Mexico cochos! Long live my home country!

[@theshonter1]

24 horas de fondear en el "Di EF" jajajaja

[@nehsone7491]

[@ramadorsince1983]

Stoners paradise.

[@tylerethanguo]

Hair in the rice @ 0:47

[@pandapanda]

what are you even looking at? probably oregano

[@WessCNY]

Why do Mexican men grow mustaches? To look like their mothers. :)

[@Kole777]

***** Clearly he was just making a joke, but you had the nerve to try to attack someone personally.

[@VaqueroVegano]

Tell me why all white people look like spoiled milk when they take off their shirt?

[@robbydiesel21]

Ivan Boo unless they're fat and pale then they dont...

[@rvggarcon]

American women and women in general do have facial hair, they just remove it and hide it from everyone because it's so unacceptable in the states.

[@bahenadodgers]

White women age in dog years. That wife of your will look 60 in a couple years

[@n3rdbear]

All the food look like they were packaged in MRE's. They don't look vibrant.

[@tinkerlee2378]

Too much meat! 😷

[@seribelz]

it looks disgusting...

[@wetguavass]

It looks delicious

[@oocelo]

it tastes excelent

[@Izzy_Santos]

You have no tastebuds

[@florentino02]

don't buy from street vendors that make tacos, chances are, your eating a dog

[@KorniKen]

Flan looked rigged 😕

[@luzmartinable]

Pobres vacas, gallinas y cerdos si se mueren que vamos a comer, si ya no conocemos mas? Donde están las sopas y los caldos de verduras de las madres con presupuesto limitado? Con esas dietas altas en grasa, sal y azúcar, por eso ocupamos los primeros lugares en obesidad. Donde están las comidas corridas de los setentas y ochentas?

[@sergiovillalobos7320]

cuales eran los menús saludable 70s yo estaba muy chico pero sería bueno retomarlo, en Guadalajara se usan mucho Chile relleno, calabazas rellenas, caldos y guiños con carne(bistec y costilla)en Chile. es algo así o diferente, a propósito el pozole acá se come de noche solamente, y la pancita o menudo en la mañana en el video fue al contrario. saludos

[@lovebirdrica22]

pozole taste fking good
