Insider food i just want to say thank you for still bringing up content with this duo. It's amazing, i stop everything i'm doing and click right away whenever i see Harry and Joe on this channel.
I went to LA on holiday as a Londoner, and I've never felt so angry about food, that we've completely fumbled the bag on Mexican food. At least we have better south Asian restaurants, and Kebabs.
@Woodlouse5 was it the food or the places that were different? I'm constantly amazed at how cheap the US tacos are, somehow in the UK they're the same price as a main meal...
I'm Mexican, from Baja, and he was spot on with the liquidy guac! It's actually NOT guac, it's like a green sauce made with zucchinis and sometimes not even avocado. So his senses were right on! Real guac (avocado, salt, pepper, limes) is the best and the most delicious version you can have to eat with any and all tacos! What a cool video, i love it. LA does have a good taco scene :)
I learned from a Mexican woman-I don't know each part-that guacamole should have cumin, salt, lemon, tomato, and onions. She said it is authentic guac. So, which region or Mexican house there is your traditional? I am not Mexican, and it isn't apparent to me. In the video, the sauce looked like guacamole sauce. I watched the series Tacos on Netflix and saw many traditional ways of making tacos, depending on the region. Mexicans defend their city, Real Mexican Taco; others do not. I eat fish and seafood, so I stay at Baja California Tacos.
@@monicavivendoemla5537We NEVER put cumin or tomatoes. And traditional guacamole usually has jalapeño or serrano chile pepper. Our guacamole has onion, chile pepper, mexican lime or lemon in a pinch, and salt. That's it.
It depends. In our family we make a guacamole sauce for two types of dishes. One is to eat with taquitos (rolled taco). The other is for certain tostadas. And, we also use it as a dip with tortilla chips.
Here’s a secret: in California, especially in SoCal and in the valley, almost any taco place/truck will serve great tacos that are significantly better than tacos you can get anywhere else in the country. If you visit California for tacos, don’t get too caught up in visiting this place versus that place.
There is something so damn wholesome about your friendships that I watch mostly for you guys more than the food. I really love the dynamic you both have. Nothing but good vibes.
A “Taco” isn’t just a “Taco,” a “Taco” can be anything. The tortilla holding a person’s hopes and dreams. I love how Harry is slowly and surely being Americanized. Great commentary and chemistry as usual! 🌮 👏 😋
I think watching a best tacos in LA vid tears ago was one of the ones that first got me subbed to this channel, so great to see this on my fave series come full circle :D
Beef cheek is absolutely wonderful when made into barbacoa. And I'll take the tacos from a food truck (as long as they have a decent rating on their health inspection score) over a sit-down restaurant any day. Tacos are a street food you eat out of hand, not something you eat with a knife and fork off a platter.
In like 2015 I went to what I was told was a highly rated Mexican restaurant in London. I asked for corn tortillas and was served flour tortillas and I argued with my server about it who swore up and down that the cold flour tortillas in front of me were corn.
Agreed. Lengua and Cabeza are the only two meats I get in my tacos and tortas. Al pastor is delicious too, but not as tender and succulent as Lengua or Cabeza. 😋
Some of the best tacos I had in Cali was down in San Diego. It was a crispy fried flour tortilla with a stewed like chicken meat. And different in how we to tacos in Texas at the time, they always would put lots on minced onion and cilantro on with mashed avocados. So Good. It was only one place that did it that way. The second best was a shack on side of road three miles from the border that make 5 rolled corn tacos deep fried with a finely ground pork and rice concoction inside. Then a avocado sauce on top with a crumbly mexican cheese. Addicting.
As a former native born Californian, mexican street tacos are the bomb! Hubby & I spent 3+ weeks in Great Britain & the first place we stopped to eat at when we returned to CA - was a taco stand!!!
Tacos de Maiz are Pre-Colombian and have been eaten as early as 1000 BCE!🇲🇽 Think tacos wrapped up with beans poultry fish insects of all kinds including worms, chapulines/grasshoppers etc!🇲🇽
Fun fact; taquero style guacamole is often not made with real avocados but more of a green salsa simulating a runnier guacamole. Still delicious though
i'm glad to see familiar places and new places. definitely want to check them out. love every video joe and harry are in. also, joe seemed to have food coma throughout the video 🤣
There is a pretty clear explanation on their website about the spelling. Part of it here So, you might be asking why we call our restaurants Wahaca and not Oaxaca. The fresh ingredients and vibrant Mexican flavours hark back to the land that captured our imagination all those years ago, but we don’t pretend to recreate exactly the same experience. Our food and our name are inspired by Oaxaca, but made with the planet in mind and using ingredients sourced from much closer to home - and, therefore, with a spelling to match! I don't really get how a decision made by a handful of marketing people in one company is 'the most British thing ever'. Odd thing to say.
Fun fact salsa verde is made from Tomatillos which gives it its zesty flavor. I used to think they were just green tomatoes but they are their own separate species.
In the UK you can get proper corn tortillas from Mexgrocer they have a selection of pre made and the correct flour (nixtamal) also a huge range of Mexican foodstufs! Loving this video!
@Farquad76.547 old el paso white corn tortillas are mass produced versions of legit corn tortillas. Well they were last time I had them about two years ago. Sometimes they're with the gluten free stuff in supermarkets, sometimes in the bakery bit.
True story, in June of 2019 I was staying at the Bitmore Hotel for job training. One night I took a stroll and went into this pizza place right next to this place. Ordered a slice and while waiting some dude brings me tacos from here. Not gonna lie, dude was cocky, arrogant and gave em to me like, "here...try these"...lol....I ate em, nothing special, told him they were alright, got my slice and kept it pushing...during my weekly stay I walked past this place everyday and went to eat tacos elsewhere...lol...I swear I never knew this place was on some taco-god level...lolll
Tripe and tripas are two entirely different things. Tripe, used in menudo, is beef stomach lining and has a spongy texture, not generally used as a taco filling. Tripas, on the other hand, are the small intestines of an animal, beef or pork, tubular in shape and cooked crispy. What you ate at Sonora was tripas, not tripe. Both delicious when prepared the right way.
@@clogs4956 I grew up eating my mom’s homemade menudo, so the texture doesn’t bother me. It’s a comfort food in Mexican households, but I can understand the texture being off putting. Also, it has to be immaculately cleaned before cooking or it will have a weird smell and a funky flavor.
I love you both and all your videos, but Harry, please leave N1 and try some food elsewhere. I ate cactus at a Mexican market stall in Manchester years ago, it isn't unheard of!
I remember in my early 20's going to Vancouver Canada and trying to find masa harina - dried limed corn flour - for tortillas. It was so easy to find a bag of that in the US. I did find it and I took it north to my friend's family farm. They were California exiles and I remember how grateful they were for the corn tortilla. England has to get it together. There must be all sorts of Latin American immigrants. Surely England has dried field corn and one can make up corn tortillas from that after being limed and cooked. England has to have lime.
This was the episode I was looking forward to the most. You really did take him to the best spots 😁 I love that these are simple. The simplest foods that are done with passion to bring the best flavor out of the ingredients is all I want in life. Tacos check every single box 😃 I don’t need fancy, simple tacos but a plate full of them that’s all I want 😂 if I can get a plate full of tacos for like 3-6 bucks from one of these places at least three times a week I’m good 😂 I pick up a couple tacos and a rice plate if offered for dinner and I’m set 😊
You guys should have a “best bite” segment. Before you go over your top choice restaurant you could maybe throw in your best bite of the day. Just a thought
I am from LA and mainly go to traditional taco spots all the time. So traditional that it would be sacrilegious to eat one with any type of cheese. It's so exciting to see tacos in such a different way. Will definitely try these places out.
London has real deal blue corn tacos, very authentic Mexican style, try Proper Tacos in Nags Head Market! Incredible ❤ and they do Cactus ones! Try them next visit, definitely the best in London!
Genuinely curious, have you ever had tacos outside of England? And by outside of England I mean in Mexico or at least in SoCal or Texas? Because I've talked to so many British people who claim they've had "delicious authentic Mexican food" in England but they've never had it anywhere else. Because if that's the case you have zero frame of reference to what authentic Mexican food is in the first place. England's Mexican population is so tiny and negligible that it wouldn't make an impact on the culinary scene amongst the culture and local people. Also, traditional ingredients are insanely hard to come by in England so it would make a massive difference on how the food tastes and it's authenticity.
@@Left4d3adfreak1 I find it curious how Americans are so keen to lecture people on what authentic Mexican food is. Why is that? Have you ever tried tacos in the UK? Just curious as it'd make your comment a bit pot kettle black potentially. I've had Mexican food in the UK described as pretty authentic by Mexicans. I've had tacos in Spain too, again supposedly authentic. I'm not going to convince myself they're are '100% the real deal' but like I said the things I've tried have been described as pretty authentic by actual Mexicans. Personally I'll reserve proper judgement until I've had the chance to eat in Mexico. You're right about some items being hard to come by, Mexican cheeses being the main one. That does affect things. I think the reason people so often make comments about there being decent Mexican food in the UK is because there actually is. It's not going to be exactly like what you'd get in Mexico but it isn't as if we're over here thinking Taco Bell is authentic. There are Mexican owned and ran restaurants in the UK. There are restaurants owned by people who spent a lot of time in Mexico too. Again I'm not saying these are exactly the same as how they'd be in Mexico but they're probably getting there. The issue with Harry and Joe is that sometimes their ignorance comes through. Harry is very London focused and a bit middle class so he misses things but his word is treated as gospel when he comments on UK food. A classic example off the top of my head is when he said you'd only really sit in a cafe or a restaurant for a full English breakfast, I can tell you that the builders sat in their vans eating out of polystyrene boxes would disagree. I guess it's just people talking about their experiences, maybe the OP has had real Mexican food in Mexico maybe they haven't? Maybe we should all meet in our different cities and try different taco spots, we could do our own Harry and Joe show.
@@Left4d3adfreak1 Trust me, the woman running this is VERY Mexican, as are her kitchen crew, she prides herself on the authenticity and folks I know from LA and Mexico who have visited are the ones who recommended it and said this place saves the air fare. I totally get UK ignorance of decent Mexican food for the reasons you say, probably making this one of a kind right now.
@@diskopartizan0850OMG, YES! Thank you for saying this. As lovely as Harry is, I agree, his experience of London is not a fair comparison to all of the huge USA. It's no different to someone called 'Henry' who has only ever eaten in NYC filming a show around Europe, where the European called 'Joan' keeps pointing out "I bet you don't get that in NYC!". No kidding! I wish they would realise this as it's the only thing that bugs me about this otherwise great series.
The main ingredient in the cactus taco from the last taco shop uses what Mexicans call "Nopal," the paddle-shapped Prickly Pear cactus. It tastes similar to fried or boiled okra.
I get so excited watching these videos, love seeing these guys together! The first 60 seconds had me smiling so big and hitting that like button 😁😁😁 Harry won me over with his Krabby Patty reference 😂😂😂
We do have corn tortillas in the UK but they are crispy like tortilla chips and are often marketed as taco shells lol. My friend from the US made me tacos once, OMG, it’s an entirely different experience!
im surprised Joe didnt have to teach him how to even hold and eat the tacos. ive seen some UK channels struggle comically trying to hold and eat a taco 😂
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351oh my gosh, that entire episode was so hard to watch 😂 uncle roger also does a very funny react video to it. I didn’t realize that British people wouldn’t know the basics of a taco until I watched that episode 😅 the privilege of being American I guess I’m also very jealous of these tacos. I’m in Wi and there are a few good Mexican restaurants but these tacos look next level 😭 I used to work at a brunch place that had a huge Mexican kitchen staff and the food they would make for the staff was so good. So sad the place closed during the pandemic.
@kanalune there are 67 million British people. Some of us know how to cut an avocado and eat tacos. We do have planes that go to Mexico from the UK and we also have televisions that show us other countries. Ridiculous that you'd generalise from a TV programme that has a cast of a dozen and is likely to ham up misunderstandings like the one you described. Utterly ridiculous.
The wigs worn by barrister's in the UK were initially implemented during the reign of Charles II. At the time, these wigs were worn by high society and considered to be a symbol of authority. There is some overlap with the outbreaks of syphilis amongst the populace at the time, such that it is hard to say whether the fashion was encouraged by those blighted by scalp sores and hair loss in the upper class or not, but the tradition maintains in modern commonwealth courts.
Insider food i just want to say thank you for still bringing up content with this duo. It's amazing, i stop everything i'm doing and click right away whenever i see Harry and Joe on this channel.
After Dallas hope they go to New Orleans and Cajun/Creole
same here
im watching from Ireland ill prob never get to LA... but if i do, tacos con todo
Preach.
I get a meal ready and sit down to watch, grub out while watching Harry and Joe. lol.
Sonoratown uses tortillas made with lard - and that’s largely why they’re the best in town. Good on you guys for calling that out.🌯
you should send harry and joe around the world to do food vlogs! that series would slay!
Joe is right about the Mexican taco restaurant's potential to make a killing in the UK, especially if they make those tacos in their original style.
A new taco pop up just opened in my home town and I can’t wait to eat there
I went to LA on holiday as a Londoner, and I've never felt so angry about food, that we've completely fumbled the bag on Mexican food.
At least we have better south Asian restaurants, and Kebabs.

In L.A. the best taco place is the closest taco place! XD Loving this series.
That's honestly a great tip.
how tf is that a secret???

There is something so damn wholesome about your friendships that I watch mostly for you guys more than the food. I really love the dynamic you both have. Nothing but good vibes.
After worth it these two are the best duo's
There was also a hilarious and cringe guy who had a 1 star 🌟 review show on some big channel. Miss him, think they fired him 😢
Living in LA my whole life, almost every single taco truck or street stand is incredible.
But Villas was a whole experience. Best I've had by far.
This episode was fun & interesting to view. Thank you for continuing this series. These two are great together & I really enjoy watching these.
What makes these 2 so compelling is Joe is so quintessentially American & Harry is SO British. Perfect combo!

@@DanWhiteT lmao right. like drop the name girl
A taco truck with a sign that says “no outside food or drinks allowed” is wild.
The sign is for the inside seating in front of the truck
That sign is null and void 😂.

Every time I see these guys in London or the US I feel hungry….. and now I want tacos…. Lots of tacos.

@@Left4d3adfreak1 Trust me, the woman running this is VERY Mexican, as are her kitchen crew, she prides herself on the authenticity and folks I know from LA and Mexico who have visited are the ones who recommended it and said this place saves the air fare. I totally get UK ignorance of decent Mexican food for the reasons you say, probably making this one of a kind right now.
@@Left4d3adfreak1 i have yes and the best iv ever had are from big taquero in scotland
@@diskopartizan0850OMG, YES! Thank you for saying this. As lovely as Harry is, I agree, his experience of London is not a fair comparison to all of the huge USA. It's no different to someone called 'Henry' who has only ever eaten in NYC filming a show around Europe, where the European called 'Joan' keeps pointing out "I bet you don't get that in NYC!". No kidding! I wish they would realise this as it's the only thing that bugs me about this otherwise great series.
The main ingredient in the cactus taco from the last taco shop uses what Mexicans call "Nopal," the paddle-shapped Prickly Pear cactus. It tastes similar to fried or boiled okra.
I love these two guys!!!!!
Congrats on the 5 million 🎉🎉🎉
Tacos are awesome. One of my favourite food types ❤
That was awesome thanks alot Brother's 🎉🎉
Love this man!

I get so excited watching these videos, love seeing these guys together! The first 60 seconds had me smiling so big and hitting that like button 😁😁😁
Harry won me over with his Krabby Patty reference 😂😂😂
Damn those tacos look 🔥
They are the best duo ever!!👏🏻🤩
omg fantastic, unique tacos AND chatting YOUNG SHELDON, BIG BANG? i am °dead°
thank you, thank you 💋❤
Chorizo is one of my favorite things ever and it is hard to stop eating it.
I was surprised they made a vegan tinga with beets. I don't mind beets but impressed that joe was willing to go with it.
Happy to see them again😊 especially Joe😂
As a mexican I never ordered guacamole at chipotle any of the 3 times I had it lol, but I bought some last time and I had instant buyers remorse 😂
those tacos look amazing ✨
He said, I will bravely soldier on. Lol hell yea man! Taco tour!
i'm L.A. born and raised and to choose one single greatest taco in all L.A. county would be a mighty tall order indeed.
Taco Trucks On Every Corner In America is still a fond dream of mine.
We do have corn tortillas in the UK but they are crispy like tortilla chips and are often marketed as taco shells lol. My friend from the US made me tacos once, OMG, it’s an entirely different experience!
So happy that Day Romano has found work.😉
im surprised Joe didnt have to teach him how to even hold and eat the tacos. ive seen some UK channels struggle comically trying to hold and eat a taco 😂
On the great British bake off, they had a Mexican episode and one of the contestants tried to peel an avocado like it was a potato.
@@Perfectly_Cromulent351oh my gosh, that entire episode was so hard to watch 😂 uncle roger also does a very funny react video to it. I didn’t realize that British people wouldn’t know the basics of a taco until I watched that episode 😅 the privilege of being American I guess
I’m also very jealous of these tacos. I’m in Wi and there are a few good Mexican restaurants but these tacos look next level 😭 I used to work at a brunch place that had a huge Mexican kitchen staff and the food they would make for the staff was so good. So sad the place closed during the pandemic.
@kanalune there are 67 million British people. Some of us know how to cut an avocado and eat tacos. We do have planes that go to Mexico from the UK and we also have televisions that show us other countries. Ridiculous that you'd generalise from a TV programme that has a cast of a dozen and is likely to ham up misunderstandings like the one you described. Utterly ridiculous.
@@diskopartizan0850 every dish made in that episode was an abomination.
@@kanalune aren’t Wisconsinites famous for their inability to eat spicy food? Isn’t it a joke that mayonnaise is too spicy?
most impressive thing was Joe saying "po kay mahn" correctly
Best sonoratown food is the chivichangas by far, and the tacos are great, but those chivichangas are special!
Looks good!
I watch this on 2X fast on Video speed. Pure heaven (:
I love crispy flour tacos!! Have only tried beef and maybe chicken (possibly pork as well). Too bad I can't get them at taco bell......lol
The wigs worn by barrister's in the UK were initially implemented during the reign of Charles II. At the time, these wigs were worn by high society and considered to be a symbol of authority. There is some overlap with the outbreaks of syphilis amongst the populace at the time, such that it is hard to say whether the fashion was encouraged by those blighted by scalp sores and hair loss in the upper class or not, but the tradition maintains in modern commonwealth courts.
I want these two to travel different countries and eat their famous foods!
Thanks, Tacos 1986 for me! ❤🇲🇽🇺🇸🌮😍🤩😃
