Ollie’s metaphors are top tier👑
Ay yo it's the man
Beef Spread
It's the "Emotional Damage" guy!
이따금씩 영상 몇 개 재밌게 봤는데 반갑네여
Game recognized game!
Here's how Taco Bell stays in business across the street from the taco truck:
People in California don't consider Taco Bell to be Mexican food. So at any given point, they might ask themselves "do I want Taco Bell, or do I want Mexican food?" In effect, the two aren't in direct competition with each other.
much truth to this. taco bell, dell taco. are not Mexican food. jim boys not sure were to rate it even though its not authentic nothing beats a jim boys taco.
Exactly! Same thing for Panda Express. There’s no real competition with authentic Chinese food. It’s either a Chinese food mood or a Panda Express mood.
@@tenki-no-ko yes and lots of Chinese food places are a hit and miss out here so most opt for Panda Express/Inn for at least some quality.
@MrDanielSolano007 Yeah totally. There's this general sort of "Chinese food" place that all serves pretty much the same menu of mostly Americanized Chinese food. Your egg rolls, beef and broccoli, General Tso's, etc. Having lived on both the east and west coasts, I think the east has those places locked down in terms of consistent quality. They sort of suck in California at least. But, if you look for specific Chinese cuisines, that's where the West shines. Look for Szechuan, Cantonese, Dim Sum, etc.
Taco Bell = Tex Mex
I love watching Brit’s try food with flavor…it’s like seeing cavemen discover fire
💀😭😭😭
You didn’t have to do them like that.😂
rough but true lmao
lol. they have kebab on every corner and more curry places than india :D
For real🤣 i wanna see em try caldo de pollo cus ik they love soups over there 💀
The second I saw the food truck sign behind them I knew it was Leo’s taco truck. And when they said they were at a gas station I knew it was the one off of La Brea/Venice. Great taco spot. Never disappoints. I’ve been going there since 2015. Now they have more trucks around the city so I go to the one that’s closer to my house. Mulitas are top tier too. That smuggling joke sent me. Shout out to youtube recommendations for this one.
Tito’s tacos are insane too, haven’t had them in a really long time but they were amazing
I bet Ollie loved this. Steven seemed to REALLY enjoy his jokes 😆
Haha... absolutely 😅
reminds me of the high schoolers asking if he scripts his jokes the night before 😂 the stuff his brain comes up with on the fly is OP, always hilariously on-point in the most unappetizing way
Are you implying that Josh suffered emotional damage? lol
I've noticed most comedians tend to have a better sense of humor and laugh at jokes that normies wouldn't
I don't know why he finds him funny. He's the most irritating annoying part of this entire channel and KE
I love how Steven understand all of Ollie’s jokes. They should do a comedy bit together
Haha I’d love it so much
@@JokeswithMitochondria I was curious about your username so clicked on ur profile. Wasn’t disappointed haha
My new favorite duo 😂❤
He lived in Ireland so he gets all the references, and surely enjoys something that brings him back to his teenage years, so I'm sure Steven genuinely loved all jokes!
I enjoyed that so much! Had me rolling 😂😂😂
Seeing people who dont know how to hold or eat a taco always makes me laugh 😂
10:21 "Little Mule, its like its smuggling the ingredients into your mouth" 😂😂😂😂
Absolute Gold 🏆
Quick Lesson!! ❤ from your Mexican follower haha Al Pastor is a traditional Mexican dish made with seasoned and marinated pork. The name translates to “Shephard Style,” which is derived from the origin of the cooking method. Although al pastor is a Mexican meat, the style of cooking is an original of the Lebanese. We had many Lebanese immigrants during the 1930s. In Mexico City there is also a taco called “ el taco árabe “ which translates to Arab taco. Even though in Mexico there is less then 10% of middles eastern that make up our population that is still a very high amount for a very populated country and they have really influenced some of our culture
Thanks for this comment. I did learn a lot.
Also the double tortillas on a taco aren”t a LA thing most taco trucks do that aswell as mexican restaurants
@@MrBacongameprowinner that is correct also in Mexico it is done. Unless! The tortilla is homemade and because of the thickness of a homemade tortilla they don’t have to double up hence why we double up and also they will fry the tortillas together when warming up for more stability
Jaqueline as a fellow Mexican: Thanks for providing this full history! Not that we are looking to correct taco history because taco's are for everyone! :D Love to see that we've broken borders! Well done!
very cool!! thanks for sharing
Seeing how Ollie cracks a pro comedian up shows how incredibly funny he is
how can you not like OLLIE...?
@@csnide6702 it’s pretty easy
Professional comedians are at their core, good writers. It’s not hard to make some comedians laugh, they are just people that are really good at writing and structuring jokes.
So glad you guys are trying food trucks in LA. I tried to convince a British coworker to try and he declined. He definitely misses out on some really good food! Food trucks here in LA are gems.
Glad you guys loved it! Our food trucks in California are such gems. ❤❤❤
No they're not. I was born and raised in LA but You havent tried good Food Trucks until you tried the food trucks in Portland, Oregon.
@@slimt2441one being true doesn't make the other NOT true. It's not a competition. We all win. You must hate it when other people are happy.
@evanstone7656 no I just like it when people like you think they have to 3 cents worth of something to say because the truth bugged you and you can't accept it.
@@slimt2441aint no way Oregon has better mexican food then cali , gtfo
@@slimt2441lol what truth??? you seem like the biggest hater because I’ve been to Portland and had the food truck experience and it’s nowhere near Los Angeles or San Diego. 😂😂😂😂
Double corn tortilla is how you know it's authentic Mexican food. All the states bordering Mexico do this because it's the right way to have a taco!
Dipped in oil and thrown on the grill 🤝🏽
It's so that it doesn't rip. If it's not double "shelled" the tortilla will rip due to the greasiness of the meat. Not only does the second tortilla adds support but it also makes it less greasy.
@@soulassassin0g I also enjoy how you can taste the tortilla when it’s doubled up, instead of just the toppings
😭😭😭😭 the fkn BESTT. And you CAN NOT forget the onion,cilantro, and lime. You caaantttttt
it is not authentic because they didnt use beijing corn
I love that they’ve gone from mythologizing Taco Bell to understanding the actual context it has in the US!
We like it...mostly...but you run the risk of diarrhea if you eat it. I haven't had it in years, but I loved it as a kid.
Taco Bell is good. But everyone knows they aren’t selling high end tacos!
If you've gotta wait 3 hours before they serve the food at the wedding reception, just swing by Taco Bell on the way to the venue. Down a couple soft shells and you're good to go.
@@NsTheName if you get diarrhea from eating Taco Bell your bloodline is weak
Taco Bell is bottom of the barrel fast food. Only Krystal is worse than Taco Bell.
That’s why I love living in the US so many different cultures and foods
I lived in Southern California for 18 years, mostly in San Diego, and this is exactly what I miss the most after leaving. Not the "big box" style of TexMex, which I love, but the corner taco places. I call it SoCalMex. Best carne asada. Loved seeing you guys enjoying this food.
SoCalMex. Love it. As a SoCal resident born and raised, ima have to "borrow" this phrase.😄
@@dakaraifletcher321 you know what I'm talking about. Carne Asada burritos, rolled tacos with guacamole. Just can't get them like that anywhere else.
I live in SoCal now and the friends I made call it TJ style Mexican food after Tijuana
Me too, tacos el gordo has to be one of my favorite taco spots. Moved to the East coast and could not find ANYTHING that remotely matches the mexican food in sd
There’s actual taco spots like this in Texas. It just depends what city and neighborhood you live in. In Dallas , you’ll find spots like this all over oak cliff.
It's criminal that they didn't put lime in any of their tacos.
Name checks out
This comment above all others
That hot sauce with those tacos and then squeezing the citrus juice onto the hot sauce. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
😢 agreed 💯
As a Mexican i don't even put lime in my tacos
The pineapple not only cuts through the pork fat with acidity, but it has enzymes that tenderize the meat.
And don't leave them together for very long, because after a while the meat just kind of turns into mush!
Enjoying the videos of them trying real food in the US, but it's becoming shockingly apparent that nobody knows how to cook in the UK. Like simple things like brining with acids, using the natural MSG of mushrooms to bring out flavors or even making milk gravy. I don't kow why I'm still surprised that they don't use Marmite in the melted butter to top popcorn. I just recently tried the stuff and that was one of the first things I did after the classic toast.
@@donicarobinson24 Brining isn't an acid bath. Marination is the acid based process, using vinegar or citrus juice for example. Brining is salt based. You don't brine with acids, you brine with salt. And you marinate with acid.
Pineapple, the only food that digests you before you digest it
PSA: do NOT eat the core of the pineapple raw. Look up pineapple enzymes that eat out your mouth
Since today is the Mexican independence day i have to say VIVA MÉXICO 🇲🇽
Viva tacos
y porque escribes en ingles mija?
@@keynotepablo3524 porque soy bilingue
As a white American I wanna say thank you to every single Mexican around the world for gifting us with your culture and food! You guys have the best culture and the best damn food ever created. I can speak for most white people when I say this we’re blessed and very grateful for all of you guys!🙏🏻✊🏻🙌🏻. Gracias
I love how Steven stares suspiciously into the taco trying to figure out where the pineapple went
I love that Josh asked for the food with a Spanish accent and said the food with Spanish pronunciation. Muy bien. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As long as he doesn’t say the word Tack-oh
That’s weird its like celebrating asking for McDonalds with an Australian accent, Spaniards have a very different accent from Mexican Spanish.
@@ericktellez7632 They said spanish pronunciation not accent. Different things. So yes he did use spanish pronunciation, as in attempting to speak the language properly.
@ericktellez7632 Depends what part of Spain you're from. Also, just because the lisp? You know they didn't even have a lisp until a King had a lisp and everyone started doing it to not make him feel bad. Yes, Mexican Spanish is a bit different but it also depends where you're from, they also have different accents like the USA. Look up the Ladino language... you'd be surprised.
@@NessaBear90correct, the Mexican accent resembles more of Southern Spain, due to it being colonized by people from Andalusia. And the Cuban accent resembles the Canary Islands accent which is off the west coast of Spain.
i love the fact that olly's nonsensical jokes works with steven so much whereas josh and us are so used to it and just accepting it as an idiot and stupid joke😂
Can you answer in more detail?
Whole point of the joke is to be stupid enough to laught at it....doesn't mean it is nonsensical...only a brilliantly witty person can joke like ollie does
The laughter is contagious.. I smile the whole time I watch there videos … love seeing happy people
They need to do a Brit student try street tacos. I wanna see their reaction.
As a Latina SoCal native, this made me proud to see! Al Pastor taco with the cilantro and chopped onions is just ~Chefs Kiss~
En el trompo!😂
Al pastor is good when they're out of carnitas
As a German in Oregon, I agree. ☺
I’m a Southern California native, and you guys picked the best taco truck! Seriously some of the best tacos in LA! I’m sad you didn’t do a horchata review, but all of your choices were spot on! Classic! So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Is this truck downtown?
They have several locations, but this is the OG spot on La Brea
@@cl_smoov5124 Gotcha
@@cl_smoov5124
Which cross street?
THE best!
Pro tip, the second tortilla can be used for catching what falls out while you eat the first then you have a second mini taco of the remnants.
That’s not what the second tortilla is for
@@aldomartinez421 pro tip, "can be" is not synonymous with "is" in the english language ❤ they do, in fact, have different meanings as they are, get this, different words! hope this helps!
@@outrohersaidgayrights413 either way the second tortilla is used to help reinforce the first, and how messy do you gotta be for enough meat to fall on the second tortilla to a second taco?? 💀
@@aldomartinez421 the traditional indigenous way is to use a tortilla like a utensil 💀 maybe ur spaniard family would not dare ever tear the 2nd tortilla in half to pick up extra food, but the rest of us mexicans dont think thats "messy" 😂 ur just european-washed lol
I'd just use my fingers
Según la historia del origen de los tacos al pastor, es que una persona de medio oriente qué se instaló en México comenzó a vender kebab pero no se en que momento cambiaron el tipo de carne por carne de cerdo, solo se puede decir que los tacos al pastor son descendientes del kebab.
"I really wish we had taco culture in the UK" that just warmed my heart 💜
Tacos are great. Gets you away from wheat and rice and into some corn as a grain food (organic is better as Con-Agra does the nasty GMO corn) and is delish with meats inside (or beans and avocado, if you want to go vegitarian) and veggies on top!
As a white American I wanna say thank you to every single Mexican around the world for gifting us with your culture and food! You guys have the best culture and the best damn food ever created. I can speak for most white people when I say this we’re blessed and very grateful for all of you guys!🙏🏻✊🏻🙌🏻
@@jaxsontuttle4932 on behalf of the Mexican delegation, thank you!! It's this kind of comment that gives us hope.
We love sharing our food and culture. If you're ever in Guadalajara, give us a jingle.. we would be honored to host you.
I always love Ducky’s feedback from behind the camera.
Ducky is the only one with an ounce of food knowledge
We need a video with Ducky being a main event 🥰
The one and only carnivorous duck
@@LaneyElward Agreed!
@@LaneyElward A video covering even 20% of the enigmatic Ducky's life would probably be at least 7 hours long, after editing. The man has been around.
Hawaiian pizza is my all time favorite. I bet those tacos were out of this world. ❤
I am so glad to see some nice authentic tacos, with the onion and cilantro, the salsa verde, the taco with pineapple 🤌🏻
Also love to see that you guys loved the taco al pastor with pineapple, I might eat that today omg 🤤
Steven He + Ollie = a hilarious comedic duo! 😆
Stollie!
My new favorite duo 😂 so glad he came back for another video lol
Hilarious in the same way getting your hands cut off is funny
Should be called Jolly-he
Ollhe
You guys gotta make a Mexican friend to talk about the different foods because I was shocked that you guys were shocked about the pineapple on al pastor.
Seriously! I wish they had brought a Mexican friend along too to tell them about the food and culture. I was cringing when they called it Hawaiian taco and Hawaiian quesadilla 😅
I think Mexican (and Tex-Mex) food is so ubiquitous in the States, that I always forget just how under-exposed Brits are to it.
@@ssolomon914 yeah coz there not a lot of mexican in the UK
Camera guy seemed to know what was up, but agreed!
If there’s a famous Mexican UA-camr I’m sure they would collaborate with them..
Hawaii made pineapple globally accessible through first canning technology. But pineapple has a Central and South American origin.
Adding pineapple to tacos doesn't make them Hawaiian since the Pineapple is native from South America and was cultivated by the Mayans and Aztecs as far as 2,200 years ago.
ty for point that out
Ya i was thinking this too 😂
Ollie's brain works wonders. He just spits out facts in a major hilarious way
He’s one of one for sure 😅
THE 'MUGGED' COMMENT?!... THAT ILL MENTALITY HE HAS?!... OH I GUESS THOSE MEXICANS WILL TRULY APPRECIATE THAT "HILARIOUS" COMMENT. 🙄
comedy genius😂❤
@@khalilahd. for sure.
@@rachel_geller2023 absolutely
Petition to bring Steven back on Jolly in every food-related episode. Just treat the guy to a Michelin meal.
Agreed!!!
Just treat him to the meat fruit
Absolutely!
I will agree if he goes back to school and gets a A in MATH!
If I’m remembering, they have dined at Michelin-star restaurants? I might be misremembering, though.
Look authentic Mexican food is the absolute best food that exist. Im so lucky I've lived in Texas my whole life and get to enjoy their culture. The best places are the taquerias in the gas stations. Many are their own home recipes. They also make their own salsa and its so damn good.
I think the trick to these gentleman, is that they literally show and embody the joy that people have when exploring enjoying foods. They normalize new things, while being honest, but even if things aren’t spectacular, they still just appreciate what they’re eating, and why they’re eating it! Their simple and genuine excitement and joy makes me hungry every time lol
Steven laughing at Ollie's metaphors is the most wholesome part here. Josh enjoying the good food is always 🎉
"I wish there was more of a taco culture in the UK" it's got to start somewhere, Josh. I quite like the sound of "Jolly Tacos"
Jolly Tacos would be such a hit
About to move out there and make some $$$ off tacos
@@christheclamper6614that’s actually pretty smart
Also, Jolly Southern food, Jolly barbeque, Jolly Tex Mex... they would make millions!
There’s not a lot of us Mexicans over there , that would be a great start up idea though
After hearing Steven He's 'coming to the west' story it is no wonder he such a charming and engaging person. He was tossed in with the sharks man. Reminds me of army kids who spend their whole lives moving. I hope he is a happy person, cuz he certainly brings joy to people around him
Originally saw this video a couple weeks ago and had to try it when I was in LA last week. I had the Hawaiian quesadilla and it was amazing! My friend had the nachos and she loved it. Thanks for the tip! I’m going to be in London next week and already have a list of places to try from your videos. ❤
Love that y'all appreciate pastor! The pineapple is traditionally part of that taco and the 2nd tortilla is called la copia (the copy). In Mexico, tacos al pastor where first introduced by the middle-eastern immigrants and they are called "tacos arabe" (Arab tacos). Then the Raza made it into Al pastor. Tacos Arabes are still live and kicking in
Interesting. So that must be why the shawarma rotisserie is used.
@@khetto1 yeap, exactly! That's 💯 inspired by our middle Eastern bros
"Al Pastor" means "in the style of the shepherds," because the locals were copying the shawarma rotisserie cooking style favored by the Arab immigrant sheepherders.
It was originally lamb meat though (“al pastor” translates to “the shepard’s way”). Pork was more plentiful in Mexico so they used pork. And Mexicans marinated the meat.
This is exactly the thread I was looking for! I always knew what “Al Pastor” meant literally, and that it meant should be lamb, but I didn’t understand why it meant the meat would be pork instead. Thanks!
Also, now I’m starving lol
Watching this as an LA native is so crazy. Taco trucks are staple and completely normal for me. It made me so happy to see how you got to experience the amazing food these vendors sell.
Same! Totally take them for granted, but we’re very lucky! :)
I wish we had one every few blocks not just downtown or in Hispanic communities. I ❤ real Mexican 🌮 🌮 🌮 🌮
Beat taco I've had in my life was in LA, for $2 I could taste something better than a $100 steak
Steven and these 2 kids are amazing together, and they seem to enjoy each others company so much
I like how authentic these guys are you can tell they really did like the food .
Everytime I see Steven.. I would shout... EEEMOTIONAL DAMAAAGE. 😅
Great episode again guys!
For a time he didn't think he was that popular. He was letting people know he and his crew had an announcement at a Con. So many people took the time to shout EMOTIONAL DAMAGE! Take photos with him, and let him know how great and funny he is. 😊
Lmfaooo same!! I love his personality 😂
I wonder if it would make him happy if people just randomly shout it in the street when they saw him, like Conan O'Brien and Katakai (now gerbils iykyk)
You should always eat a taco with cilantro, onion, lime and salsa! In other places in Mexico they add a pico de gallo with it and tastes amazing as well! 🤌🏼🤤
I have the dirty penny/soap gene for cilantro, but in salsa that taste is gone. No clue how the tomato acid melds with it and makes cilantro palatable.
unless it's really high quality carne asada and then i want nothing spoiling the taste besides maybe salsa.
Depends on the taqueria and how they preferred. Ive gone to one that only cilantro and onion, others cabbage, frijoles and top the salsa.
I like when they have the little avocado sauce too
I'm Mexican and I don't like Pico de gallo
I recently--HAPPILY--discovered JOLLY and still catching up. So PSYCHED to see Steven with you guys!! More, please!😍
Fucking love these guys they always seem positive and always try anything and everything
* mentally prepares to hear British TACK-o pronunciation 87 times *
But seriously, you all should do a Mexico City trip. From street tacos to Pujol, CDMX has such an incredible food scene.
Don’t forget the naa- chos
Right? It would be such an incredible video, and I bet they would enjoy the food! Al pastor, mole, what more could you ask for?
@@eringalin2075it’s crazy but nachos aren’t really a Mexican thing , it’s Tex mex , traditional Mexican food you’ll definitely love our food , its different between region and state in Mexico
@@AzSurenoNachos are Mexican. They originated from Northern Mexico
@@andreaaguilar2386 I know because my family is from chihuahua, but it’s heavily Americanized so I really don’t consider it really Mexican , but that’s just me tho
The extra tortilla on the tacos can also be used to make another taco with all the bits that fall out of the original tacos. BONUS TACOS!
an experienced taco eater doesn't need to do this. experienced taco eaters can also eat a hard shell taco without making a mess.
they should go to México and try the street tacos there😊
yeah, LA has been embellishing their "mexican" food FAR too much, for WAY too many years. yes, it's probably some of the best mexican food you can find in the country, but compared to mexican food FROM MEXICO, this is fucking taco bell.
@@keynotepablo3524bruh get the heck out of here. Mexico doesn't even have burritos
@@jonathanramos8414 clearly you've never been. they have burritos in baja california, sonora, chihuahua, nuevo leon.. something you would know if you were a real mexican.. but instead you're just a pocho con el nopalote en la frente🤣
I don't expect anyone to notice this but thank you Jolly, your videos have got me through a really stressful 2 weeks recently. The passion that Josh has for food and Olly's hilarious way of saying things we think but don't say have really cheered me up ♥
As a Salvadoran it was hilarious to see Josh so confused about al pastor tacos having pineapple. It's a given to any latino lol. Also, those are my fav tacos, I eat them weekly at any mexican restaurant in El Salvador.
Yeah, here in Texas we consider having pineapple salsa more of a Salvadoran or Honduran thing.
You guys get props for going after the cartels you guys have some real backbone. Hopefully every countries citizens find their backbone too. Live in Yuma Arizona the taco trucks are fantastic here too. If you're ever in Yuma Mi Rancho and El Zerape are the two best places in Yuma for good tacos and service. ❤
Pineapple, is one thing people are every opinionated about, even in the realm of foods which are already a very opinionated topic. Those who do not like pineapple (for whatever odd reason), are typically very vocal and candid about their dislike of this fruit. Why? Who knows really.
I didn't know that was an us thing haha but I guess it makes sense since it's not very traditional
@@J-P89el salvador doesnt have cartels
i’m glad you guys went to a taco truck and not a restaurant! the best and classic way to eat tacos is standing at a taco stand after a night of drinking with your friends. that’s why there’s a whole technique to eating tacos. glad you enjoyed them
Theres no technique to eatting a taco. Just eat it however you want. Whys everything have to have a "technique" or a circumstance to why you need to eat them. Drunk, sober, whatever, just eat tacos and enjoy them.
Ooh, with the glass bottle Cokes from Mexico.
Big ups for adding the cebolla y cilantro to the tacos. Its the essence..
“Like a meat spread” i just started dying 🤣🤣😂
In case anyone wanted to know the reason al pastor is called what it is, is it's basically "shepherd style". The locals in Mexico saw Lebanese immigrants essentially making shawarma, and they started making tacos in a similar style, ironically with pork which Muslim immigrants would not have eaten, but it was originally made with lamb. The tortilla were pita bread. It was invented in I think the 1920s or 1930s.
This is amazing! I’m an Arab American who loves latinax food and culture, I lovee this ❤
OH nice to hear, I'd love to try those Tacos with Lamb. It should be delicious.
This show is basically just ollie cracking jokes, Josh face palming while everyone else dissolves in laughter. And i love it
This video is really good, your guys' reactions to all the tastes, textures made the video.
Steven contemplating his life as he eats the beef taco is hilarious
Just wanted to say, the past 8 months have been very rough for both my wife and I, managing an inordinate amount of stress coupled with a string of painful losses. It has been hard, but we have found a great deal of comfort in just sitting on the couch, throwing on some Jolly/KE and enjoying each other's company. To be able to take a break from grieving and be able to smile and laugh and just be together has meant the world. I'm sure you hear this all the time, but I just wanted to say thank you and to tell you all that what you do and the things you make really matter. Thank you again.
Ollie conjuring up that image of a mule smuggling deliciousness through a TSA checkpoint... 💀 Dude has me stuck on the giggles over here... he's a genius! 😂
He’s constantly cracking me up too 😂
Best tacos I’ve ever had were barbacoa tacos served out of a folding table in the parking lot of a tiki bar. It’s like a SoCal right of passage.
This is literally the best truck in LA in my opinion. Always make that stop when I am in LA.
Wow, Josh rocking the pronunciation on his order!
And Steven dressed up to eat tacos 😅😅
from Spanish, "shepherd style" tacos al pastor, or tacos de trompo is a preparation of spit-grilled slices of pork originating in the Central Mexican region of Puebla and Mexico City, although today it is a common menu item found in taquerías throughout Mexico. The method of preparing and cooking al pastor is based on the lamb shawarma brought by Lebanese immigrants to the region. Al pastor features a flavor palate that uses traditional Mexican adobada (marinade). It is a popular street food that has spread to the United States. In some places of northern Mexico and coastal Mexico, such as in Baja California, taco al pastor is known as taco de trompo or taco de adobada. A similar dish also from Puebla that uses a combination of middle eastern spices and indigenous central Mexican ingredients is called tacos árabes.-
Let me just say from experienc… any taco truck that uses paper plates with foil on top you know that food is gonna be 🔥 🥰 glad you all liked the food! Looked delish.
2:16 “Food trucks in the U.K. 🇬🇧 have a reputation for being dirty being like a Food Poisoning Lottery!”
I like that Josh was calling himself out that he forgets what he’s eaten before so any new food he tries becomes his favourite. Because I’ve noticed he says that probably 4/5 of these food videos.
Double tortilla is sign of a legit taco experience.
Absolutely. Was really pissed of when Rubio's went down to only using one corn tortilla for the fish taco. They fall apart.
Y'all had me dying!!! Thanks for the laughs. Enjoyed seeing you guys enjoy the food.
es un honor ver que a los extranjeros les gusta tanto la comida mexicana auténtica 😊
A quien no les va gustar comida con el mejor sabor del mundo
No es autentica
The only criticism I had of any of this is the lack of limes. :( Lime is an essential topping!
My guess is that the truck has a tray where you can pick additional things to put on your taco. Limes, cooked onions & peppers and other sidelines were probably just missed by the guys.
The way Ollie goes off into space every time he takes a bite of something let's you know he's cooking up something wild to say.
Just finding Jolly. Loving it. I am also a big fan of Steven’s work.
I love the way Ollie had Steven laughing!
As an American from Southern California that’s currently living in England and can’t find decent Mexican food anywhere… this video simultaneously makes me so happy for them and also so bitterly disappointed. 🙃
I am Mexican and I found something OK at Manchester, Arndale Market. Is called Panchos Burritos. Decent enchiladas and tostadas. Cochinita pibil is a must there
The ingredients can't be that impossible to source. Ok, probably not genuine handmade tortillas, but something close enough to enjoy.
@@donicarobinson24 If they can source roti locally then tortillas shouldn't be such a major logistical challenge.
@AwesomeTea I believe roti uses wheat flour and other common ingredients in the west.
Masa corn flour for tortillas, and other Mexican foods, though requires more than just corn alone. The corn has to be aged to maturity then dried completely. After its dried its cooked with calcium hydroxide powder and water in a process called nixtamalization. The softens the kernel hull, and makes the inside of the kernel starchy. After that it's cooled, and then ground into masa dough.
In Mexico it's not hard to find these ingredients--Mexicans make tortillas daily. However outside of Mexico, particularly in places with few Mexicans, it's more difficult to source, particularly the calcium hydroxide.
There was a reason that when corn was introduced to Europe, and they adopted it as a staple, some developed the nutrient deficiency known as Pellagra. Europeans never learned about the nixtamalization process. Nixtamalization enables vitamin B (niacin), vitamin C, and calcium among other nutrients to be easily absorbed by the body. Together with rice and beans (other Mexican staples), the trio forms a complete vegetable based protein.
@@danmur2797 That's true for corn tortillas, but we also have... wheat flour ones. Flavor wise they're just thinner roti. You get different types of wheat in different parts of Mexico, but the general recipe doesn't change much.
Ollie with the double tortilla / double bag connection, lol... His brain just operates at a different frequency 😂
Good to see you guys enjoying some authentic style tacos. Glad you liked them!! The beef head is spectacular !!!! cheers boys
I laugh every time when Ollie gives a first bite and then looks up and thinks about it 😂😂😂
Lol i want to see British high schoolers try Mexican food now
Oh absolutely
Very few Americans know anything about authentic Mexican food. Even in Mexico, it varies from one region to the next.
@@MrDavidkniggewell duh, but it’s not that huge of a difference. All use the same type of meats, cows, same type of tortillas. It’s not that big of a difference except in price.
only thing better than LA street tacos is seeing Steven He in another JOLLY video 😅 Steven and Ollie are just so iconic
Great collab in my hometown with my very favorite food. Loved this segment ❤
Collaborating with Steven He is always a good idea.
Love how much Ollie was cracking Stephen up. It's the ADHD brain, it can't be tamed.
Even Steven He recognizes Ollie's humor prowess. 🤣 😂😊
That "Bloody hell" at 11:06 tho. Johs's Britts shines through
Al pastor has a really interesting story too. Middle easterners moved to Mexico and brought that kebab style meat with them. So the Mexicans saw a great idea and made it Mexican. And it’s phenomenal!
you guys had a PERFECT energy match 🤣
He has to do more cameos I loved this 😂 and the one in NY lol
It’s Steven dying at everything Ollie says and I would be the same 😂
That was great. Good vibes.❤
I miss that place so bad
... I moved to the east coast a year ago and still remember the flavor of Leo's tacos like it was yesterday... glad you guys like it
Fun fact: Hawaiian Pizza IS A CANADIAN INVENTION, created by Sam Panopoulos at the Satellite Restaurant in Chatham, Ontario in 1962. Inspired in part by his experience preparing Chinese dishes which commonly mix sweet and savory flavours, Panopoulos experimented with adding pineapple, ham, bacon, and other toppings.
Is that why in America on Hawaiian pizzas we put “Canadian Ham” on it?
Another fun fact that's not even related, "American" cheese was invented in Switzerland
@@jfc8254 Canadian bacon. Known there as back bacon I believe
Now I know who to blame for one of the worst blasphemies ever done to food.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks Wikipedia
I love their chemistry SOOO much! 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰
So glad they enjoyed the food❤️🇲🇽
"I really wish we had the taco culture in the UK" 😂
