@@L3WGReacts I recently discovered your video and been watching them just want to say technically nachos aren't mexican their tex-mex. Queso literally translates to cheese so it's a cheese dip basically but overall I can tell you that once you try real Mexican food not tex-mex you will love it even more. I also wanted to thank you for accepting and being so enthusiastic about mexican food and culture makes me a full blooded mexican proud and happy. I would also love to see you react to more vida about mexico and would love to see you down here one day I'm sure you will find tons of people that wouldn't mind showing you around.
@@rubenarias6538 Nachos were in fact invented by a Mexican in the town of Piedras Negras just across the river from Eagle Pass, TX. But they did become famous in the U.S.
The red cheese enchiladas are my favorite. My mom makes them with Mexican cheese and onions. Then she sprinkles fresh queso and fresh onions. On top with sour cream Bomb.
You WANT great, wonderful, tasty and unique Mexican food? Come to New Mexico, our food is so different than anywhere in the world! In our city, we have Nellies and in La Mesa, there’s Chopes. We also have La Posta ( more geared towards tourists) here in Cruces.
When you go to a Tex Mex restaurant, they bring you free, fresh made tortilla chips with their red and green salsa. As much as you want. The queso (melted cheese), and guacamole is ordered separately. Naked tortilla chips are just chips. Nachos are chips that come with toppings.
Molè and Salsa Verde (the green enchilada sauce) can't be compared to anything European. Thsy might have something similar to Molè in Spain.. The chocolate in the Molè is combined with so many spices, you can't identify it, unless you know what you're eating. It's usually served with chicken. The Verde (green) sauce is not made with avocados, but roasted tomatìllos (look like green tomatoes, but AREN'T).
Mole is a mexican sauce that varies a whole lot, regionally. There's, of course, the classic chocolate mole. I visited a Oaxacan restaurant where they offered three or four different kinds of Mole. There's a place near me where you can get chicken with green Mole, for example, which was made with pumpkin seed and not chocolate. There's also red Mole, yellow Mole, etc. It can be made with nuts or squash and so on. There's a lot of different kinds. The most common you will see in the US, of course, is the brown/chocolate mole. It's kind of like General Tso's chicken or Ceviche. Where ever you go, it can be almost a completely different dish.
The green sauce on the enchiladas are made with green tomatoes (tomatillo or Physalis ixocarpa) is originally from Mexico. It includes slices of avacado on top. I know this because I live in Mexico City. 🍻
Tex-Mex and Mexican food can be eaten daily because there are tons of options AND you can find plenty of delicious meals that are also nutritious and healthy.
Even if 85% of it is all variations of beans, cheese and tortilla. Nachos? Tortilla chips, cheese and beans and other optional things. Burrito? Meat, beans, cheese and rice in a tortilla. Taco? Same deal, just prepped different.
Texas native here. Noticed all the Brits in videos are coming to Texas. Girl from France said Mexican food was one of her 5 favorite things about coming to the USA. Get great Tex-Mex, best BBQ, Buc-ee's, and great seafood down on the Gulf coast. Lots of attractions in between meals in Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, Ft. Worth, & Houston/Galveston. Best months are October and April for decent weather!
Just like every other country, Mexican food varies by region. Authentic Mexican food also varies here in the states. I'm from southern California which has very different Mexican food than Texas.
Enjoyed your reaction to this video! Fortunately I live 5 minutes from this Eldorado Cafe in Austin, Texas. The mole enchiladas are my favorite thing on the menu. The chocolate is mixed with spices to produce an amazing sweet spicy sauce! It's phenomenal when done right, and Eldorado knows how to do it.
Queso means "cheese" in Spanish. You can make your own. Side note: you could make your own nacho topping with hamburger patty for the meat. I understand that UK food culture isn't the best at times but sometimes you have to get creative.
Ok, to the Brits who think you can make nachos with flour tortillas: if I made a Yorkshire pudding with corn meal instead of wheat flour, does that make it an authentic Yorkshire pudding???
Yes. I don’t even eat chili with crackers. But, a lot of people like crushing them up and putting them in or taking a bite after a bite of chili. (Know you know this) just for reference for anyone not familiar.
My husband works as a chef in a Tex mex restaurant. It’s always exciting when he brings home chips and salsa, or chips and guacamole, or chips and queso, or chips and pico de gallo, or sometimes all of them. Yum.
That's for sure ! We ate Chinese food and pizza over the weekend and tonight it's bbq. Different flavors on different nights but all with 😋flavor. !! Dont often think on how lucky we are
Southern biscuit dough usually has cold butter folded in multiple times, so the butter DOESN'T incorporate, instead forming fluffy, flaky, easily separated layers inside and a crisp, buttery crust on the outside. Cover them with a thick white gravy made from a roux, and filled with sausage bits, but most importantly the burnt bits at the bottom of the pan. Many also add bacon pieces with (again) the burnt bits. This adds an unbelievable depth of flavor, and goes perfectly with the biscuits. It is a warm hug on a plate.
I lived in Austin for 10 years, and I sure do miss the real Tex-Mex foods. There's a distinct difference in the Tex-Mex available outside of Texas. Breakfast Taco/Taco food trucks are everywhere in the city, and they are spectacular.
I haven’t been to that exact restaurant, but Tex-Mex joints like that are all over Texas. San Antonio is chock full of them and I don’t think I could live without them. And for what it’s worth, there’s nothing like authentic Tex-Mex food from Texas, no matter who calls themselves “Tex-Mex”.
That super spicy salsa is probably what we Texans would call a medium. When I make salsa I use a bunch of serranos and habaneros just to make it spicy enough for me 😂
I live in Nevada and grew up in Idaho. There are literally just as many varieties of Molè as there are chilis (the peppers), and Pho broth. My personal favorite happens to be exactly what they are eating, a Molè with unsweetened Mexican chocolate, cinnamon, and a variety of hot chili peppers.
@@bamachine not joking, there is a reason we've got great Mexican food, Mexico is literally on our border and tons of Mexican people come to America to make their peoples foods a success and there is a reason why it is more common here, you can argue me on this but out of all the british people I heard from, their Mexican restaurants are not that good or filthy....you should really watch Jolly(British friends who check out the world's food) and check out their first encounter with Tex-Mex and street tacos, they liked it for a reason and this is what they said, "I just realized, we can't get this food in the UK, "and talked about how their life isn't complete without it....
@@bamachine I doubt it's authentic. I noticed that Brits can't even get the names of the ingredients correct, with calling tortillas "nachos", cilantro "coriander" (which is a seed of the cilantro plant), and I don't think you can get tomatillas, fresh corn or flour tortillas or good masa over there. And a Brit who commented here said he likes nachos made with flour tortillas! WTF??? That's crazy and not authentic!
Texan native here.....ya can't beat Mexican or Tex-Mex food.... especially living so close to the Mexican border the options are practically limitless and SOOO freaking Amazing.
The Egg is sittings ontop of the enchilada. Enchiladas are a corn tortilla rolled around a filling and covered with a savory sauce. Enchiladas can be filled with various ingredients, including meats, cheese, beans, potatoes, vegetables, or combinations. I like both Green and Red. My sister makes the best Tex-Mex/Mexican food.
What's the address? I live in Austin, born and raised. I've actually seen the owner of the restaurant a few times in the city. @L3WGReacts if you ever visit we'll go and go to the UT football game if it's in "Autumn" lol
Tex Mex is different than Mexican food. Depending on where you are from it’s going to be different. In Lake Jackson TX there is a place called The Taco Spot. One of the things we love is the birria pizza. So good!
There is a difference between Mexican food and Tex-Mex food. You can find many, many restaurants in Texas with outstanding Mexican/Tex-Mex food. However the majority of the restaurants are going to be Tex-Mex. We love our Tex-Mex!
Tex-Mex is the best! I love it. Tex-Mex has more flavor and spice than traditional Mexican food. I love traditional Mexican too. I make a kick-ass chili and that sounds amazing right now. Chili is a cold weather food though and our temps are running 105° F every day right now in North Texas. So I'll save the hearty chili for a cooler day.
I'm from New York and grew up with none of these foods. I clearly remember the first time I tasted mole and I can tell you there's nothing like it. It's so complex and delicious but nothing like any other food. It's a thick very dark sauce. I had no idea there was chocolate in it, I didn't find out until years later. I'm in LA now and the Mexican food here is overall not that great (you have to find the really good restaurants). Arizona and especially New Mexico have great Mexican food (I never lived in Texas so I can't speak to that). NM has its own chilis called "Hatch Chilis" that are grown in the Hatch Valley and are fantastic and have their own flavor. They're hard to find outside of NM and AZ, probably because those states easily consume the entire yearly crop. Green sauces are made with tomatillos which are in the tomato family but distant cousins. They are tart and citrusy and also taste like nothing else. They're blended or crushed either raw or roasted and are essential for the salsa verde. Tomatillos are more available now definitely throughout the US southwest and wherever there's a Mexican American population. Salsa roja is much easier to make because the ingredients are more generally available and include tomatoes, onions, cilantro (coriander leaves), and jalapenos.
@@nicole06964 Yes I'm in the far west valley and East LA is 40 miles away from me. So I don't get over there much. I used to live in Echo Park and had lots of good food nearby. I'm way up here now and I cook at home a lot.
They love British accents in the US, especially in places like Texas. To them, a brit accent is both exotic and fancy. Any British accent, even it's dead common. Use that to your advantage. Just act friendly. Some Brits give off a cold vibe.
I don't understand why Brits keep using "nachos" to describe tortilla chips. Nachos are an appetizer with loaded tortilla chips using meat, cheese, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, sour cream, guacamole, etc. You can probably make your own nachos if you have the above ingredients. Just put meat, beans and cheese first on the pile of tortilla chips, on a cookie sheet, then put it in the oven on med low heat, until the cheese melts, then add the rest of the ingredients and eat!
Could they cook a store-made one in a pan? Or am I being too offensive on it? I'm an Asian who has had amazing Tex-Mex but have zero idea on how to make it as good.
I live in a place that I'm sure you e never heard of.... Maryville TN USA. We are extremely blessed with Mexican food in my city. I'm supposed to be on a diet right now but I think I'm going to cheat my diet and enjoy some Mexican food tonight.
I hate to say this but if you have only had Mexican food in the UK then I'm afraid you have not actually eaten true Mexican food. We have availability to all of the ingredients used and believe me some of these dishes they prepare are quite involved like the mole sauce.
This technically is not Mexican food, this is Tex-Mex . Some people like saltine crackers with Chili, i do not. I would use a tortilla chip or a spoon. I have tried to make a Mole sauce one time. It is so complicated, with so many ingredients that I failed miserably. It does have unsweetened dark chocolate but not Nesquick.
Let me tell you a story son, their once in Portland Oregon food empire was once a Tex-Mex restaurant known as Esparzzas😊 in its peak people would line up outside the door 🚪 for hours to devour their food, I did this once for GF because well she wields the most powerful force in ominiverse and it was good, sometime later economics went south and this once rated 1 of best in nation wear people would line up to uffff a place wear you could simply walk in and get a seat, all because they sacrificed the quality of the foods to try to keep cost down... instead of raising prices across board to make up difference... last time I checked its a cheap tiki bar now.
Dude!!! You just need to figure out a way to get to Texas to try all that food in this and other video reactions you did!!! I'm not Texan, but I am American so I get it!! :D
I've been to Austin many times on business. Stay away in the summer unless you like HOT HUMID weather. The foods in Texas, Dallas, and Austin are great. TexMex, Cajun, crawdads, BBQ... It's all delicious.
Mexican and Tex-Mex are really quite different. Tex-Mex has heavier gravies and heavy food. Mexican is a bit lighter with thinner sauces. Both styles are fantastic!
The Queso and the Guacamole cost extra but most places serve free chips and your choice of salsa, usually Red AND Green and sometimes others by request.
It's funny how the Brit channels I watch end up doing Jolly videos and food, food, food lol Jolly has been doing videos for a few years and about all their videos get 1,000,000 views. They hit the lottery 🎉
In all honesty, a lot of the more familiar dishes are not that difficult to make. I make a mean green and red salsas and great al pastor. A couple years ago I made one of the best moles I ever had. It's a pain to make (and I lost the recipe), but you can get some decent ones in a jar. Mole is the best thing you will ever put in your mouth. Period. lol. I still can't make a damn tortilla worth eating though. But practice makes perfect.
Ok, don't think every time you go in a restaurant in the U.S. you get mobbed by wait staff or owners lol They probably saw the filming and thought they'd get some free publicity. Nothing wrong with that when the food speaks for itself, plus Ollie is brutally honest 😂 👍
Eldorado is awesome. I've never had anything bad there ever. Great service, great food. Parking is easy not like some other typical trendy places in Austin. It gets busy though. Also great tortillas, hot sauce, etc. I wouldn't call Eldorado a typical Tex-Mex but that's not a good or bad thing. It seems a bit more "Austin" to me than other Tex-Mex. As much as I love Eldorado, Fonda San Miguel is my favorite which is Mexican, not Tex-Mex. It's only a few minutes from Eldorado.
If you come to Austin, Texas and want Tex Mex, try Chuy’s on Barton Springs Rd near downtown. Best TexMex period in my opinion. Much better atmosphere than El Dorado.
I've been there a couple times, and they do have amazing Tex-Mex. I live about 15-20 minutes from the restaurant. But there's a TON of great Tex-Mex, BBQ, Mexican restaurants and more in Austin, Texas. It's a foodies paradise city lol, if you ever come to Austin I'll give ya a tour around the city and show you some of the local quazin. 👍
My heart BREAKS for you brother! I have lived in Texas my entire life. So I KNOW you haven’t had ACTUAL TEX MEX or MEXICAN food! You have had the BRITISH ATTEMPT of Tex Mex and Mexican food. It’s NOT the same. Shit, there are places HERE IN AMERICA that can’t get it right. Living in Texas I have eaten this food MY ENTIRE LIFE! It is, HANDS DOWN, the greatest food there is. I have tried A LOT of different foods.......... NOTHING COMES CLOSE! I am SERIOUSLY HEARTBROKEN FOR YOU! I just hope you can visit Texas soon and try all these BEAUTIFUL foods soon. When you do get here and try it PLEASE FILM YOUR REACTION. I WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY FOR YOU! 🥺🤤
More types of food here in Houston though. Cajun, Creole, Italian, Greek, French, Asian of every type. And of course Tex Mex and BBQ. Some of the food trucks can't be categorized.
They don’t use Nesquick nor does it taste like Nesquick lmao 😂 the chocolate they use taste way different you can also make it salty if you don’t like the sweet flavor it if you go to an authentic Mexican restaurant try usually serve it with Mexican rice and chicken if you like Mexican I definitely recommend going to an authentic Mexican restaurant 👌real Mexican food doesn’t have cheese in all their food they just add that to it in white washed restaurants 😭😭😂
Want real refied beans. Boil the beans fresh , add bacon grease (every Mexican grandmother has a big jar of it by the stove). Add SPG and chees. Optional add Chorizo. That's REAL TEXMEX.
That green sauce looked like tomatillo sauce. Come to Austin! Top BBQ city in the US, great Tex-Mex, the legendary Texas Chili Parlor, world class chefs and food truck everywhere. It's a food city as well as a music city. And film. And the state capitol. And universities. And football and football.
No! No! No! If you really want good Yex-Mex, go to the Rio Grande Valley. San Antonio is as far north as you should go. Austin Tex-Mex is okay, But anywhere north of San Antonio, I don't trust the Tex-Mex. Also... the egg on the enchiladas is to help cut the spicy heat. It really helps. And the enchiladas verde is my absolute favorite. Sincerely, A Texas native
Louis, when you come Texas, especially Austin - we’ll take you to for great Tex mex food then the next day, I’ll drive to Lockhart Texas where the original Blacks BBQ is
Cinnamon toast crunch is the best cereal in the f****** world in my opinion I think it's banned in the UK and Europe but cuz of some additives but who cares it's so good😅😅😅
Please, learn to say guacamole correctly. Whacamole is correct... Not gwackamole. Ollie is actually more correct than not about the flavor profile of mole'. Dont know where they were but i know hood Mexican & good Tex Mex. I grew up in Tex about 3 miles from Mex. Lol. Beautiful homeland. 💗
Yeah u haven’t had Mexican food in England.. hell I haven’t had it in Ohio.. I have had Texmex here.. But I have had real Hawaiian Poke bowls because I went to Hawaii lol..
You haven't had any Mexican or Tex-Mex food yet, Trust me on this.

I thought the same thing. Then to suggest that they didn’t make a dish properly because it didn’t look like a UK “taco” is quite ignorant as well.
The red cheese enchiladas are my favorite. My mom makes them with Mexican cheese and onions. Then she sprinkles fresh queso and fresh onions. On top with sour cream Bomb.

No queso bro….omg u r so missing out!! I love it…have two containers in my frig tonight. Definitely a bucket list item for u then.

Both molé and adobo are very complex sauces with unbelievable depths of flavor. And YES molé has cocoa in it as well as cinnamon if I’m not mistaken.
How do they not know how to eat chili? It kinda bothered me that they didnt eat the salsa until the end.
I was at a wedding in Austin Texas 3 weeks ago. they had a Mexican buffet. I am from Maine. it was taste heaven.
Imma be honest, Austin has the WORST Mexican food ever tbh. San Antonio Tex-Mex is way better
El Paso has the best Tex Mex and Mexican. In a lot of the smaller restaurants, the waitresses don’t even speak English.
Just like every other country, Mexican food varies by region. Authentic Mexican food also varies here in the states. I'm from southern California which has very different Mexican food than Texas.
Austin, TX is a Mexican Food Mecca! You have no understanding until you visit us. We won't even bring up the BBQ.

Wait…. You’re in LA and you don’t think there’s good Mexican food there?! Are you in the valley or something?! Head over to east la immediately
@@nicole06964 Yes I'm in the far west valley and East LA is 40 miles away from me. So I don't get over there much. I used to live in Echo Park and had lots of good food nearby. I'm way up here now and I cook at home a lot.
You need to stop messing about and get your ass to Texas dude. lol.
They love British accents in the US, especially in places like Texas. To them, a brit accent is both exotic and fancy. Any British accent, even it's dead common. Use that to your advantage. Just act friendly. Some Brits give off a cold vibe.
Mole is a savory chocolate sauce. Chocolate is not naturally sweet; Europeans are the ones who added sugar to chocolate.
And it's native to Mexico. That's where chocolates from.
5:07 He takes really big bites. You can't enjoy food that way.
The chips and salsa you usually immediately get and is free. If you order guacamole or queso, that’ll cost ya.
And most restaurants keep refilling the chips and salsa. 😜
I don't understand why Brits keep using "nachos" to describe tortilla chips. Nachos are an appetizer with loaded tortilla chips using meat, cheese, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, sour cream, guacamole, etc.
You can probably make your own nachos if you have the above ingredients. Just put meat, beans and cheese first on the pile of tortilla chips, on a cookie sheet, then put it in the oven on med low heat, until the cheese melts, then add the rest of the ingredients and eat!
Better to make your own chips as well by frying fresh tortillas. They hold up better than store bought tortilla chips.
@@liamengram6326 I doubt they have fresh corn tortillas in the UK.
Could they cook a store-made one in a pan? Or am I being too offensive on it? I'm an Asian who has had amazing Tex-Mex but have zero idea on how to make it as good.
@@catherinelw9365 I prefer flour tortillas for nachos and tortillas are literally one of the easiest things to make.
@@liamengram6326 Nachos are not made with flour tortillas. They would get gummy. That sounds disgusting.
Darlin’, Tex Mex and Mexican food are related but not the same, like Brits and Americans ❤
It's tex mex which is American influenced Mexican food. This is not true Mexican food. I'm just saying
"Real Mexican food"? Wrong, this is Mexican food with a Texan twang. Both are YUM, but TexMex is not completely Mexican.
This is Tex-Mex, not Mexican. Tex-Mex is its own thing. Don't forget that. Definitely Mexican inspired though, but also very American.
This food looks amazing. But it's Tex-Mex, not Mexican. There's a difference.
LOL….”That Place” is on every other corner in Texas, and EVERY corner in South Texas. Tex-Mex is a way of life!
HEY DUDE! Don't you know that you can have these great things sent to your door by FED-X ! THEY DO IT ALL THE TIME!
i have lived in Texas my hole life i promise their are 101 better places than that LIKE Mercado Juarez cafe in Fort Wort is on the top 100
You have never had Mexican food you have had Mexican flavored British food
I live in a place that I'm sure you e never heard of.... Maryville TN USA. We are extremely blessed with Mexican food in my city. I'm supposed to be on a diet right now but I think I'm going to cheat my diet and enjoy some Mexican food tonight.
My mom and uncle were born there! I need to visit. Never been.
Go get it, you need it for your mental health!!
I hate to say this but if you have only had Mexican food in the UK then I'm afraid you have not actually eaten true Mexican food. We have availability to all of the ingredients used and believe me some of these dishes they prepare are quite involved like the mole sauce.
This technically is not Mexican food, this is Tex-Mex .
Some people like saltine crackers with Chili, i do not. I would use a tortilla chip or a spoon.
I have tried to make a Mole sauce one time. It is so complicated, with so many ingredients that I failed miserably. It does have unsweetened dark chocolate but not Nesquick.
Enchiladas are amazing
Tex Mex is life!!
I'm in Texas and you are welcome to visit us anytime!
sorry bro i have mexican food everywere in LA were i live they got it all over feels like living in mexico
Let me tell you a story son, their once in Portland Oregon food empire was once a Tex-Mex restaurant known as Esparzzas😊 in its peak people would line up outside the door 🚪 for hours to devour their food, I did this once for GF because well she wields the most powerful force in ominiverse and it was good, sometime later economics went south and this once rated 1 of best in nation wear people would line up to uffff a place wear you could simply walk in and get a seat, all because they sacrificed the quality of the foods to try to keep cost down... instead of raising prices across board to make up difference... last time I checked its a cheap tiki bar now.
I love mole
I love the food envy you display,you have got to come to America and eat your way thru….lol😉😁😎
the chocolate is sugarless... savory not sweet.
You should see our H.E.B grocery stores here ....
You were getting emotional watching this. I totally understand. 😂
Dude!!! You just need to figure out a way to get to Texas to try all that food in this and other video reactions you did!!! I'm not Texan, but I am American so I get it!! :D
The crackers are there to be crumbled into the chili
Queso is a staple around here, don’t skip it. It does usually cost though
Cal-Mex, Az-Mex, NM-Mex, Tex-Mex and Real-Mex. Anything Tex is best including Tex-BBQ ... but I was born in Tex.
But you're right...
Molé has Mexican chocolate in it....along with 31 other ingredients!!!😋😋😋😋
I've been to Austin many times on business. Stay away in the summer unless you like HOT HUMID weather. The foods in Texas, Dallas, and Austin are great. TexMex, Cajun, crawdads, BBQ... It's all delicious.
Mexican and Tex-Mex are really quite different. Tex-Mex has heavier gravies and heavy food. Mexican is a bit lighter with thinner sauces. Both styles are fantastic!
The Queso and the Guacamole cost extra but most places serve free chips and your choice of salsa, usually Red AND Green and sometimes others by request.
It's funny how the Brit channels I watch end up doing Jolly videos and food, food, food lol Jolly has been doing videos for a few years and about all their videos get 1,000,000 views. They hit the lottery 🎉
Make the nachos video it and give us your opinion on it take a recipe that we use in Texas and make the recipe and video it
this is such a good idea!
In all honesty, a lot of the more familiar dishes are not that difficult to make. I make a mean green and red salsas and great al pastor. A couple years ago I made one of the best moles I ever had. It's a pain to make (and I lost the recipe), but you can get some decent ones in a jar. Mole is the best thing you will ever put in your mouth. Period. lol. I still can't make a damn tortilla worth eating though. But practice makes perfect.
Ok, don't think every time you go in a restaurant in the U.S. you get mobbed by wait staff or owners lol
They probably saw the filming and thought they'd get some free publicity. Nothing wrong with that when the food speaks for itself, plus Ollie is brutally honest 😂 👍
More likely Josh and Ollie asked them to be on camera specifically for the video.
Eldorado is awesome. I've never had anything bad there ever. Great service, great food. Parking is easy not like some other typical trendy places in Austin. It gets busy though. Also great tortillas, hot sauce, etc. I wouldn't call Eldorado a typical Tex-Mex but that's not a good or bad thing. It seems a bit more "Austin" to me than other Tex-Mex.
As much as I love Eldorado, Fonda San Miguel is my favorite which is Mexican, not Tex-Mex. It's only a few minutes from Eldorado.
A lot of people forget tortilla chips are supposed to literally be pieces of quality tortillas.
If you come to Austin, Texas and want Tex Mex, try Chuy’s on Barton Springs Rd near downtown. Best TexMex period in my opinion. Much better atmosphere than El Dorado.
Definitely feeling your pain watching this…Mexican is my fav food here in the USA!! Omg!! So jealous!
You have to come to Austin Texas! All the food from BBQ to Tex Mex is simply the best most authentic in the world. Great video! Loved it. ❤
San Antonio Texas as well ❤️ Texas in general has great Tex mex food .
San Antonio does have some of the best Tex-Mex in all of Texas. Especially the little hole-in-the-wall restaurants on the Westside.
I've been there a couple times, and they do have amazing Tex-Mex. I live about 15-20 minutes from the restaurant. But there's a TON of great Tex-Mex, BBQ, Mexican restaurants and more in Austin, Texas. It's a foodies paradise city lol, if you ever come to Austin I'll give ya a tour around the city and show you some of the local quazin. 👍
My heart BREAKS for you brother! I have lived in Texas my entire life. So I KNOW you haven’t had ACTUAL TEX MEX or MEXICAN food! You have had the BRITISH ATTEMPT of Tex Mex and Mexican food. It’s NOT the same. Shit, there are places HERE IN AMERICA that can’t get it right. Living in Texas I have eaten this food MY ENTIRE LIFE! It is, HANDS DOWN, the greatest food there is. I have tried A LOT of different foods.......... NOTHING COMES CLOSE! I am SERIOUSLY HEARTBROKEN FOR YOU! I just hope you can visit Texas soon and try all these BEAUTIFUL foods soon. When you do get here and try it PLEASE FILM YOUR REACTION. I WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY FOR YOU! 🥺🤤
More types of food here in Houston though. Cajun, Creole, Italian, Greek, French, Asian of every type. And of course Tex Mex and BBQ. Some of the food trucks can't be categorized.
They don’t use Nesquick nor does it taste like Nesquick lmao 😂 the chocolate they use taste way different you can also make it salty if you don’t like the sweet flavor it if you go to an authentic Mexican restaurant try usually serve it with Mexican rice and chicken if you like Mexican I definitely recommend going to an authentic Mexican restaurant 👌real Mexican food doesn’t have cheese in all their food they just add that to it in white washed restaurants 😭😭😂
Want real refied beans. Boil the beans fresh , add bacon grease (every Mexican grandmother has a big jar of it by the stove). Add SPG and chees. Optional add Chorizo. That's REAL TEXMEX.
You can google pics of Mexican food, see what looks good and google the recipe. It’s really easy to make Mexican food.
All of that looks so generic and Americanized. So, yeah, TexMex. I'll still with actual Mexican.
That green sauce looked like tomatillo sauce. Come to Austin! Top BBQ city in the US, great Tex-Mex, the legendary Texas Chili Parlor, world class chefs and food truck everywhere. It's a food city as well as a music city. And film. And the state capitol. And universities. And football and football.
No! No! No! If you really want good Yex-Mex, go to the Rio Grande Valley. San Antonio is as far north as you should go. Austin Tex-Mex is okay, But anywhere north of San Antonio, I don't trust the Tex-Mex. Also... the egg on the enchiladas is to help cut the spicy heat. It really helps. And the enchiladas verde is my absolute favorite.
Sincerely,
A Texas native
Louis, when you come Texas, especially Austin - we’ll take you to for great Tex mex food then the next day, I’ll drive to Lockhart Texas where the original Blacks BBQ is
Cinnamon toast crunch is the best cereal in the f****** world in my opinion I think it's banned in the UK and Europe but cuz of some additives but who cares it's so good😅😅😅
Please, learn to say guacamole correctly.
Whacamole is correct...
Not gwackamole.
Ollie is actually more correct than not about the flavor profile of mole'.
Dont know where they were but i know hood Mexican & good Tex Mex. I grew up in Tex about 3 miles from Mex. Lol. Beautiful homeland. 💗
Yeah u haven’t had Mexican food in England.. hell I haven’t had it in Ohio.. I have had Texmex here.. But I have had real Hawaiian Poke bowls because I went to Hawaii lol..
