- There is so much to see and do in Oaxaca. But, honestly, you could visit this city in central Mexico just to eat. We took a great big bite out of Oaxaca, indulging in the filling comfort of tlayuda (a traditional dish that's a lot like pizza), the sweet taste of prickly pear ice cream (born out of wild cacti) and lots more tasty treats. Check out some of our favorite eats in the city. #GreatBigBites

“I’ll have a small tortilla”
*Brings out 16 inch tortilla*
Dang bro!
But they are the best of all
To be fair, that the size of the regular tortilla here in Oaxaca, bigger that anywhere else.
Time to commit eat tortilla chip vertically 😎
Muy rico
This make me cry, i miss my home AND food in Oaxaca, best video
Habla en español entonces pochita
I’m glad Oaxaca is getting more love their food is pre Colombian and is very old. There are so many different flavors there that you won’t find outside of the state
I'm here now and its wonderful. I made the mistake of getting sushi today. Nope! I will go back to the Mercado November 20 tomorrow, eat, and do a video on it. Fun to eat mole there yesterday.
Mexicans are our brothers and sisters and a gift to the US because of all they bring including amazing food. Mi casa es tu casa.
That's how I see it brother we need to stop fighting and help each other out
Mi casa es tú casa, is something that makes you feel like the person who tell you that, love you, trust you, from the heart.
we have lots common
Going by your name I'm assuming you're white which means you're not of this land and these brown Mexicans are native American so they're in their home regardless 🤷 just saying
They fell short on their gastronomic richness. Oaxaca is like paradise I’ve been there and can’t wait to go back
Graciela Melgoza absolutely there’s the mole negro, masilla the artisan bread barbacoa and on and on Oaxaca kitchen is vey ample beyond this four dishes and varies by regions 👍🏻👍🏻
Tlayudas are the most amazing thing I have ever tasted in my life. I've yet to find a single place here in the USA that sells them, which is honestly depressing. They're like the most incredible "Mexican pizza", for lack of better words, that you could imagine. The Oaxacan cheese that covers them is tangy with a texture like a very firm mozzarella, and the tortillas end up at a unique point between crispy and soft due to the way they are grilled over a fire. In all of my time travelling throughout Mexico, I can say that Tlayudas are the greatest thing I had and are the thing I crave most since moving back.
Downtown LA
Try Guelaguetza in LA
Am so pumped my girlfriends family from Oaxaca . I am flying out there for my first in a month and looking forward to eating all the amazing and delicious food 🤟🤟🤟🤟...
Lucky you! Wish I could go. :(
Same here brotha! My wife is from Oaxaca and i plan to travel next year.
My parents are from Oaxaca but they came to the usa so that i could be born a citizen here. And i remember in middle school if you were from Oaxaca and people found out they would make fun of you. And i didnt want that so i hid the fact im Oaxaca i regret that, i should've been proud of who i was :/
They always said that if your from Oaxaca your super short which isnt true both my parents are Oaxacan but my oldest brother is tall
Oaxaca wasn't founded by Aztecs. Aztecs are a completely different culture from the southern part of Mexico. It was founded by Mixtec and then occupied by Zapotecs. Edit. Founded by Zapotecs and then occupied by Mixtecs.
It kinda was. Monte Albán was a Zapotec city, but the city of Oaxaca itself was founded by the Mexicas after the last Mexica-Zapotec war, where the territory was conquered by the Mexicas.
It sounded weird to me too when I heard it, but it seems to be the truth.
Gringoes do not care about the difference between pre Hispanic tribes.
To them Incas, Mayas, Aztecas, Zapotecas, Chichimecas and Toltecas are the same thing.
It makes me giggle every time🤣💖🖕
Sithis The Void just for your understanding about the different cultures in Mexico 🇲🇽. Well explained onegrapefruitlover I hope this sithis get it instead of the stupid comment you’ve done
Si
All of the Aztecs were killed by the traitor tribes that joined the Spanish. That is who lives in Mexico, the decedents of traitors, not Aztecs.
Saludos y Bendiciones de una Oaxaqueña ausenta ....arriba mi tierra, sus colores sabores , cultura ...su gente tan sencilla y trabajadora 🌷❤🙏🌷🙏
My lovely hometown! Something I was not expecting to see inside my Sub feed today
Feels good to watch the streets I walk on everyday! Even watching Zaachila the place of birth of my Grandmother! Something as common as those food stands take a whole new perspective.
Between this and the upcoming Close Look videos, it feels nice to watch videos of my hometown from my fav content creators
Just came back from Oaxaca and no one told me about that icecream, I'm kind upset now lol... I guess I have to go back 😅
Ask for one "Leche quemada con tuna"
Also there in Zaachila, the store next to the one in the video called "Chabelita", has awesome nanche, zapote and nuez(nuts) nieve
Hmm that food looks really good, too bad I just have to stay in the woods
I will be living in the town over there. I'm one of the richest people there becuase of us dallors but if we want to go out we have to take a 2-3 hour drive & yes it does get crouded there w/ people who pushes u but there is no bad homeless people & it does get relaxing.
hey nice to see you here too
Johnny Ramirez naco
Mexico does food SO much better.. Just looking at it has me drooling!
I love tlayudas my mom would put a little bit oil or lard on the bottom then black beans and a ton of oaxacan cheese. I love eating it with carne asada and chorizo 👍
Ate one today before I saw it in the video
Lard = Heart attack
@@oscarmart1 what?
Tejate is soooooo delicious, I still crave it after trying it so long ago
i went to oaxaca in spring and it was beautiful! such nice people, rich history and yes delicious food!!! would highly recommend going there. also home of the alabrijes (i know im spelling it wrong) but its basically a hand-made animal out of a special wood from that region with different designs and colors (think of the movie coco), dying to go back
*alebrijes
All true. I was born there and the food in Oaxaca is the best in all of Mexico.
“We have a small and a large” Proceeds to bring out a “ small tortilla that’s the size of a clock
I want to try all of them!
Saludos para todos de Santa Maria Xochixtlapilco, Huajuapan de Leon Oaxaca. 😆
Miss you so much.😣
The oldest record of an Tortilla is in Oaxaca in the year 500 BC.
No pos ya tienen rato.
Native American culture is alive and well in Mexico. 🎉
Most of us are like 50 - 60% native american, thats why we are brown lol
Humble people's humble food. Such a vibe in the city n people who makes this tasty food.
It's awesome that I eat all of these since my parents are from Oaxaca but my mom makes each food differently. Still, I want to try all of these.
Awesome! There is also a nice Oaxacan Mexican Restaurant in Culver City, CA called EK Valley Restaurant, the owner is from Oaxaca... 👍🏼
Fabuloso y muy rico
Oaxaca was not founded for the aztecs, where the zapotecas later they were invaded by the mixtecos, and when started the spanish conquer the aztecas came with them as guide.
100 % TLAYUDA DEL ESTADO DE OAXACA MÉXICO 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽
I've had prickly pear jam before, but never ice cream. Looks delicious!
Many people say that they make the same dishes here in places like California, Texas, Arizona, NM and so on but the one thing that they just can’t get right is that certain rustic part that really hits home with Mexican food, many times when people say what’s your favorite Mexican restaurant is difficult to answer cause the best food usually is made by mother, that or some friend of my mom who makes food and sells, i think it’s the more niche dishes that really are amazing, that not many people other than Mexicans know of, and with different regions there is just a mountain of different flavors that can’t be replicated here in the states.
Yo quiero unas tortillas echo a mano..orgulloso de ser un oaxaqueño..saludos..
Mexican culture is so fantastic. It's so sad that people have so many preconceived ideas based on prejudices
So beautiful I love Mexican food!!!
Great People, Great Food, Great Big Story ❤️
Even though i am an Indian, but Mexican culture always seem to take me home, God bless all my Mexican brothers and sisters🙏🙏
Jai hind 🇮🇳
que viva oaxaca 🇲🇽!!!!!!!!
Beautiful city to visit and the food was so good. Love Oaxaca!
What happens if you spin the prickly pear ice cream *counter*-clockwise?
DON'T DO IT
Coriolis has the answer.
Turns back the time and never get the ice cream done don’t dare to 🤣😂
You open a portal to another dimension

This made me hungry
Oaxaca is the nicest state of mexico
I would love to visit Oaxaca
I bet it hurts some ears to hear that Oaxaca is one of many places on Mexico recognized as a world heritage site 🤠
Founded by the Aztecs??? did you do any research on the city?
OAXACA IS BEAUTIFUL, RECOMMENDING MASSAGE ALSO IN THE SPA ANAHATA, WITH THE SAMANTHA THERAPIST, THEIR MASSAGE IS GREAT, I HOPE TO RETURN SOON TO OAXACA.
NI MAS NI MENOS, ❤❤❤💙💙💙🇲🇽😋😋😋
Oaxaca is very nice
Cuanta felicidad tenia a mi lado y me fui 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Great big story did a better job than Street Food Netflix
Wow.. unique!
Que rico!
Good side of Mexico 😍
La tlayuda es una variedad de tortilla que se rellena de muchas cosas y muy importante se hacen al carbón
I love tuna fruit Oaxacan ice cream also there sweet cooked milk ice cream 🤤
the culture seems so rich
Why thank you
This video really deserve more views😍❤
I will be living in the town over there. I'm one of the richest people there becuase of us dallors but if we want to go out we have to take a 2-3 hour drive & yes it does get crouded there w/ people who pushes u but there is no bad homeless people & it does get relaxing.
Also there foods is made of scratch and is fresh
1. I love you GBS but I hate you used the term "mexican pizza" for tlayudas
2. Tejate is so refreshing and fulfilling, be aware
3. If you can find them, try "memelitas con quelites"
4. I've tried nieves in all the shops in Zaachila but "Chabelita" keeps being my favorite
Guys next time you come to Oaxaca let's have a much
By the Zapotecs
The best Great Big Story series :) love it
I want to go to Oaxaca ..Hope I go next year 😩🥰😍
Can anglo media stop naming the Mexikas as Aztecs?
Aztecs where from Aztlan a mythic city. Mexicas were the ones who settled in the valley of mexico. Please just stooop.
Is like adressing chinese people as japanese.
Oaxaca is the real Mexico
Now I am so hungry 😋 😍👌🏼
Santa Maria Xochixtlapilco, representing
I would eat all of it 😂😂🤤
“Oaxaca is a city in central Mexico” what? Oaxaca, Mexico is a STATE in SOUTHERN Mexico.
The capital of Oaxaca is the city also named Oaxaca...
Oaxaca is in Central America for practical purposes. People even talk the same.
Except its called Oaxaca de Juarez
It’s ok though most people from US and Europe are geography stupid. They don’t know any better.
There is no other place like LINDO OAXACA.
That food looks very good!
My parents are from Oaxaca but I've never heard of these foods. It could be that they never lived in the city, they lived in very small and poor villages
This is pretty much in dowtown, the whole state itself has so much much gastronomic diversity it's hard to keep the count
My parents cook them here in the United states
Tlayuda? Really
@@omni-man8647 yeah
It could also be that they live somewhere where the ingridients aren't available and they never thought of making them. You should really go and soak in the culture there, it's sad when you have such rich heritage and haven't had that connection and familiarity with it. Sometimes migrant parents become focused on instilling the host countries culture and unfortunately some things aren't passed on.
The flesh of prickly pear looks like dragonfruit.
They actually both taste the same, except prickly pear taste sweeter :)

Abigail me quiero casar contigo e irme a Oaxaca saludos a toda mi gente hermosa de Mexico
DJ te pico, DJ Panson, and DJ Ojete bringing down the house.
Also, it isn't prickly pear ice cream, but sorbet.
En Ecuador el helado hecho de tal modo se llama helado de paila
2:30 that is an authentic memela
"si ya vienes con 2,3 chelas..."
great episode, next time visit Berlin
Even if they look horrible I'd probably eat one since Mexican food is so good
@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera "one hot n spicy sandwich for me please" my parents are mexican and we have eaten many different types of food, it is just as good as Italian, Chinese, and American food
@Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera Oh it's horrible looking alright, but that doesn't mean it tastes bad.
I usually dislike the look and taste of Mexican food but I can't help myself but get jealous looking at the way they cook this stuff, it looks delicious
Mexican Pizza is really similar to a dish "Pizza Quesadilla" that is fantastic for camping or a simple dinner:
- Put a flour tortilla in a hot pan.
- Drop in mozzarella cheese on the tortilla.
- Spoon in some pizza sauce.
- Add toppings.
- Fold over
- Flip after the first half of the tortilla browns a bit.
- Once the other half browns, enjoy!
We eat this every time we go camping. It's only creates one dish + one spatula that need cleaning and is a very satisfying dinner.
My secret grandmas sauce
Scientist: tomatoes cilantro and is that avocado
I doubt it would as simple as that
can the next episode of great big bites be about İstanbul
Whos all from Oaxaca. I am im from zaachila and full blooded zapoteca
hi, can i know what kind of camera you are using? thx a lot.
im your loyal subcriber.
Awesome
Its a shame that such a great video opens so poorly. Oaxaca wasn't founded by the Aztecs (supposing Aztecs even existed).By the time the Excan Tlatoloyan (the people anglo culture confuses with "Aztecs") reached Zapotec lands they have been already fighting with the Mixtecs for control of the area for centuries.
Beryl, Oaxaca wasn't founded by Aztecs, and it isn't in Central Mexico. It's located at the South-East.
Fuuuuuck this shit looks so fucking gooood !!!
Pls do best turkish street foods luv ur vids
"Pixa" lmao
oh fucking shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt NOW IM CRAVING MEMELAS and there are no memelas in hundreds of thousands of miles from where I am right now!!!
Greetings from México dear world
and the aguardiente,mezcal,mushroom psicodelics????
Ain't street food
💚💚💜🧡👍
I'd probably like the prickly pear ice cream. The rest I wouldnt mind trying but look more like something youd love if you were raised on it.
Hi Abigail :)
