Costco in Mexico is essentially the "high end" supplier. Portions are a little smaller than the US for foods, because of the demographic they are targeting. Polanco is the "ritzy and upscale" but not super-wealthy district of Mexico City. Pretty much everything is centered around that mall.. it was normal for the upper/middle class from all over the region to drive into that specific small area for shopping. I think our commute was over an hour one way and we went there several times the week I was there.
@@Adefesio94 Baja California they are quite a bit smaller on things like meat packs. In the US you have to buy 2-4 kilos of meat while you can get 1 kilo in Ensenada. Same with all those deli foods. Now things like TP and paper towels are all the same packages, since they are mass produced.
It’s been so stressful for me these days and i always relax while watching your videos. They take me to interesting places i probably won’t ever go. Thank you.
What I learned from this video is everything taste great when you love food. having said that kinda crime being in Mexico City he is in his hotel room eating Costco food, Mexico City has some of the best foods
Reheating the paella in the microwave was not the best way if you didn't want the top layer to dry out. I know the kitchen options are limited when you travel, but this one deserves another shot.
The Texas Costco I go to used to have a pesto turkey sandwich for like $3.99 that was TO DIE FOR! And of course they got rid of it... along with their supreme pizza 😒 Food court also had a massive chicken ceasar salad for $4.99 that could easily feed 2 ppl. I miss costco pre-pandemic. 😢
I always get mad at these videos seeing how much better other countries Costco food courts are than mine, we don't even have the onion machine anymore but they also have a jalapeno one. Canada might be the best one that has wings and poutine.
He's impressed by little motorbikes and alcohol samples. I'd just like to point out that costcos in MI, USA have alcohol samples and they have full on automotive dealerships! And the dealerships price match! ....idk why I try, Mike is never going to come to MI.
Never seen Wings on a costco menu in BC... It seems that most other countries have better stores then US/Canada. I spent 9 years at a 7-11 and was ashamed at how cruddy our store and our product looks compared to Japan, or South Korea, Or... Or....
Oh 100% a lot of their dishes in that section that have chicken in them are the rotisserie chicken. I get the chicken Alfredo pasta and they use it in that too.
i found it best to toast the fresh uncooked tortilla's on a higher heat so you get those burnt spots but also have some of that see thru spots that make them nice and tender with a slight chew to them so good! Walmart sell them in some area's made by tortilla land i think was the company if i remember correctly.
I don't know why I watched this episode. I'm on a diet and can't have carbs. You were talking about the food and how sarap it was and now I'm craving rice. Salamat po kuya.
Only at Costco will you find someone waiting for their footlong hotdog lunch with a cart full of toilet paper rolls 😆 They also take their spice very seriously in Mexico with that giant metal padlock on the jalapeños! Don't even try it 😂
Mike I LOVE how you are Asian but still enjoy and conquer and appreciate all types of foods from ALL cuisines. It’s just so inspirational for me. I married another race and they only stick to their cultures food and cannot eat anything international or out of comfort zone. You are my culinary dream guy match ❤😊 And btw, you eat everything, how you manage your figure??!!
If I even think about eating that much I gain weight.... I just put on 20 lbs watching this! I just am not willing to work out as much as Mikey does.🏋♂🏋♂🏋♂ I eat vicariously through Mikey😋
Back in high school, I got together with some friends and we were grilling up some marinated chicken thighs. I decided to try to be bougie and brought a big salad with Romaine, goat cheese, strawberries, strawberry vinaigrette and walnuts. It was a hit, and I've adored goat cheese, Chèvre ever since❤
Mike my man, your content is amazing. But you had many lenguage barriers in these video! Like in the brownie dessert, it was Mazapan (Mexican traditional candy made out of peanuts) not marzipan which is made out of almonds. I bet Some foodie like me would be delighted to tour you and host you in your next visit to the city! And take you to the best places too. Still amazing content and a dream to meet you sometime.
The hot dog distributor for Costco is the same for the US and Mexico. The only difference is the jalapenos. So your wish is granted. We have that in the US. BYOJ
@@ABC-tt7qeAround 11 freedom coins. The average Mexican salary is around 10,000 pesos (520 dollars) a month, so 219 pesos for a dessert is actually expensive for most people tho.
I love going to Costco for the food samples too lol 😂 and going to food court for hot dog 🌭 and a drink for $1.75 5:36 that cheese 🧀 bigger than my pillow lmao 😂
there is this great cafeteria place in the center of Mexico City (where the big plaza and Cathedral are) which I had some of the best food while in Mexico - we went there on the evening we arrived and had great mole and a lot of other good stuff....if I can figure out where it was....I will post a note
Way better and not nearly as crowded. I'll tell you man Mexico, watch out they're on their way up. They can just rain in that cartel problem and half of their politicians getting shot during election season they were going to be a force.
He says umm that's good to everything he puts in his mouth, he can eat umm and would say umm that's good..Foh! Never trust someone who eats anything and everything and says it's good...

@@Fakemarcel I hope someday to go back! Had a blast in Ensenada - unfortunately my friends no longer live there.
Little smaller while everything he ate dwarfs our portion sizes lol
U need to sprinkle water a little water before hesting them on the microwave. The microwave basically uses the moisture in the food to cook it
It’s been so stressful for me these days and i always relax while watching your videos. They take me to interesting places i probably won’t ever go. Thank you.
Just go to Costco.

Reheating the paella in the microwave was not the best way if you didn't want the top layer to dry out. I know the kitchen options are limited when you travel, but this one deserves another shot.
Next time when heating food in a microwave, cover with a wet paper towels. 30 seconds stir, repeat as needed. 😊
Do you put your food in the middle or more to one side when microwaving?
???
Actually do that on pizza. I also only put food to the side especially since my microwave only does 800 Watts. It's the carousel ll.
What’s the purpose of that?
@@pinoyozzyworld It acts as a steam and steam stuff such as breads so that they're moist again.
That turkey sandwich is such a good bargain in terms of the size & quality. I get one every time I go to Costco!

I can hear the wheels of your shopping cart mikey. 😂😂😂
Yeah..was driving me nutz...I would have put that one back & got another...lol
I thought i was the only one, they were driving me crazy 🤣
I can't honestly wait for 7-eleven japan to come to the United States
that needs to be a thing
OwO
@@josephgleason4614 They have announced their intention of bringing Japanese style konbini 7-11 to the US.
They're adopting the business model, not the products.
@@OrbObserversadly it will never compare. have you ever seen how they make all the food there? that would never happen here
Next time you go to Canada, go to the Costco and get the Polish sausage at the lunch counter instead of the hot dog. I think you can get poutine too
Please tell me u combined the brownie trifle with the mini donuts
I always get mad at these videos seeing how much better other countries Costco food courts are than mine, we don't even have the onion machine anymore but they also have a jalapeno one. Canada might be the best one that has wings and poutine.
Then think just to all the other countries which don’t have any Costco, greetings from Europe ;)

Wings are gone from the Canadian Costco menu. Replaced by a chocolate chip cookie. Very very sad
Never seen Wings on a costco menu in BC...

More México please
it's probably leftover Rotisserie chicken shredded
Oh 100% a lot of their dishes in that section that have chicken in them are the rotisserie chicken. I get the chicken Alfredo pasta and they use it in that too.
Wish they had that chicken mole in the Texas costcos.
We have terrible overpriced food in the states. He’s been showing us for yrs, other countries food selection and prices are amazing
you make 10-14dlrs an hour? well in mexico 1 hour equals the whole day minimun wage, there you go why you think you have "overpriced food"
Steak & Eggs amazing Mike!

the padlock is just so it doesnt open and spill lol nobody is stealing jalapeños
Same with Sam’s club lol😂
First video I saw on my shorts of you, had to subscribe. I could tell I will definitely enjoy your videos.
Mexico?! YES PLEASE! Love its food! Thanks For this mike❤❤❤

Make your spice rack jealous... 😅😅😅😂😂❤
LEEESSSSGOOOOO BLACKCLOVER SHOUT OUT
Here for the unlimited jalapenos! Totally agree on their sandwiches, value at it's best, but like you I'd prefer it toasted 💯

You are living my dream life
When you heat up the tortilla, make sure to let it fluff and cook well on both sides.
Mike my man, your content is amazing. But you had many lenguage barriers in these video!

I love Meican food so much. I wish to visit this country in the future.
Damn inflation be hitting costco hard!
Your best video
Those donuts look so good
i love the costco videos :D
"Wouldnt even be a challenge" got me😂
Sitting eating a meal atm with costco jalapeneos👌
I'm sold on that ham
Most of this is Spanish food - tortilla, paella, jamon.... buen provecho!
17:30 have i ever heard Mikey say "Diabolically delicious"??? that must have been some SERIOUS desert
3:04. PESOS, Pesos. I was mind blown that the brownies were $219 and wondered why no one seemed fazed. It isn't usd.
I was wondering why it cost so much😂 thank you. How would you convert $219 to US dollars, btw?
@@ABC-tt7qeAround 11 freedom coins. The average Mexican salary is around 10,000 pesos (520 dollars) a month, so 219 pesos for a dessert is actually expensive for most people tho.
OMG, I did the same thing lol
@@RmnGnzlz is a freedom coins quarter? 🧐
I was looking for that reply, thank u xD. I was shook!!!
GOAT CLOVER
Get your mole from a fonda, not costco😉
Mikey how many donuts did you eat? 😂
His video shattered my whole viewpoint of Mexico. I thought it was just poor people and dirt roads
I've got to tell you, the food is pretty fantastic in CDMX and that is absolutely not where I would choose to spend my eating time.
Spanish tortilla tastes better when it's cooler in my opinion, room temperature spanish tortilla is probably my favorite comfort food.
Why doesnt costco make donuts like that in the US?
they make what appeals to the locals...US costcos make pretty amazing muffins & cupcakes tho!
He said he "kept seeing people grab" the brownies but it was 6 left both times lmao
Reused footage 😂
13:20, you said it's not good, why you eat it then
Gluttony
If you were a regular of his videos you would know he never wasted food.
@@hallothar6842if you are only here to be hateful maybe a cat video would be a better choice for you?😊
You were there at the same time as me! We spent 3 weeks here with family friends we are currently in San Jose! You should go to Puerto Escondido
suddenly Costco in sweden feels tame. Costco mexico does more with less space it feels like.
Got to love it the Duck is from Maple Leaf Farms here in Indiana!
should of put lil water
The Costcos in the SF Bay area also carry the giant flans. Really miss those.
Wow nicer than the ones in the states 😅
Have some lettuce with that dressing! 😂 jk. Loved the video!
I love going to Costco for the food samples too lol 😂 and going to food court for hot dog 🌭 and a drink for $1.75
5:36 that cheese 🧀 bigger than my pillow lmao 😂
None of the Costco's here in the KCMO area have onion machines but I always see videos of them in Costco.
U should try "city market"
25:04 the opened microwave triggers me 🥴
his cooking methods with said microwave trigger me 😂😂
Technically, the hot dog is a sandwich. (Let the debate begin. Ha! 😂)
Mike’s next overused word: Ginormous
living in the US I miss the mini donuts from costco in Mexico. They are so good, I wonder why they don't make them in Costco in the US as well?
there is this great cafeteria place in the center of Mexico City (where the big plaza and Cathedral are) which I had some of the best food while in Mexico - we went there on the evening we arrived and had great mole and a lot of other good stuff....if I can figure out where it was....I will post a note
All that food and it'll probably last him a couple days, LOL.
24:39 What kind of person leaves the microwave door open?
Costco in Mexico looks better than the ones in the US!
Most everything is better outside the USA! USA is a lie starting from the history books!
Way better and not nearly as crowded. I'll tell you man Mexico, watch out they're on their way up. They can just rain in that cartel problem and half of their politicians getting shot during election season they were going to be a force.
Bom demais ❤❤❤❤
That scream at 8:40 lol
Yes they have the sandwich in the US
kinda surreal to see video of my local Costco on here
mole is truly the best
Dude your car is making the worst squeaking noise ever
Ken Domik is that you?
Tortillinas are probably the worst flour tortillas you can find in Mexico.
Noooo,ketchup on a hot dog!!!!!!!!!!!😵😵😵
Ummm yes
I'm a mustard person myself but on a classic American hot dog ketchup is how it goes but on any type of sausage nope there should be no ketchup
He says umm that's good to everything he puts in his mouth, he can eat umm and would say umm that's good..Foh! Never trust someone who eats anything and everything and says it's good...
There's reasons why they dont do samples of cognac in the States. Same as chicken and watermelon..
Donuts....😊 Enjoy
Bring back scary story time.
Similar to US Costco. Asia Costco has way more food court stuff
good vid
Are the prices in the video in American dollars or in Pesos?
Brownies and the flan. Mmm
what marzipan in the cake? dont see any and on top you say "fluffy"...marzipan is not fluffy
US: we'll create a franchise but let other countries make it better.
Such a great video Mikey loved it ❤❤
No way you called a Tortilla an "ommelette" 😭
It's technically a frittata...(or a crustless quiche)
Im Spanish. i swear you didnt ate a paella 😢 omg
I feel like the "it's less than a cup of coffee a day" line isn't a very good deal anymore. A cup of coffee's expensive in the US!
Might be able to call those 'steak' skewers, but not wagyu.
Wow everything looked delicious 😊
everthing looks the same lol
2 weeks ago my Costco in Colorado installed that doughnut maker and they want to be simi cool and make you show id for a drop of wine
Please warn us about Mexico labeling prices as dollars. The sticker shock shook me!!
Are not dollars but pesos
The sign of pesos is the same
you travel across the world in most of your vids to eat grocery store and gas station food?
