    As a mexican living in Mexico, I just wanna say that it's great to see they took you to small/street/popular businesses and not to fancy restaurants, there is where you get the real flavors. Also it was really nice to see Gaby a little nervous at the beginning but then just see her joking around as part of the crew. Favorite video for sure!

You did that with spectacular class and honesty. You gave respect to the culture and the fact that each place was a small family run joint. You’re so young to be this brilliant. Mad respects.

    What I appreciate the most from this video, is that it really captures the essence and the diversity of tacos. It’s almost a parallelism to Mexican people, we can be richer or poorer, come from Jalisco or Yucatán, we come in all colors and sizes but at the end we are united by the tortilla.

      Maybe he usually didn't put much salsa on there and maybe only took a bite of some of the tacos instead of eating the whole thing 😅

    Long time follower and Mexican as well. This is probably one of your best videos up there for me. So much variety and super descriptive for each taco. Most people would not have been able to compare the key differences for all of these tacos you tried. Mexico is so versatile that there are even dozens if not hundreds of versions of tacos you can try. Imagine the rest of the dishes you can try when there. One of the best nations for food overall (said with a little of bias)

      I’m sorry that you are going through tough times. Been there myself. If something so “trivial” as a taco has brought you some joyful feelings, and something to look forward, you must follow that path. I’ll guess that’s why we Mexicans put so much effort and love in our food, because we are always striving. And good food is the promise of better things and a daily celebration of life. You might have te world against you, but a simple taco can restore your body and your soul. Sending love and blessings!!!

I know you didn’t rate it the highest, but it is mind-blowing, and I’ve had a decent amount of el pastor at this point while there on business.

    As a former Chef I can usually duplicate things I've tried. I was in Cozumel. We were heading back to our ship and everyone was hungry. So we called some local place. Don't know which but ordered a bunch of tacos. I am not big on seafood. But someone handed me a shrimp taco. This taco had the biggest shrimp I'd ever seen in my life. Just corn tortilla, shrimp, and salsa. It was the best taco I have ever eaten. I have tried multiple seasonings and techniques and have never duplicated it. I don't know what was they did but it was amazing.

    There is so much tacos left to eat, for those who knows you only visit a small zone in the city, most of them nice and tourist neighborhoods, but Gabriela nailed in the agenda. Most of the tacos are influenced by other cities in Mexico, like cochinita who is mainly from Merida. Currently Mexican gastronomy is evolving in many weird ways, like tortas, pizza or burritos with tacos, but there are so many traditional Cuisine that is the real thing beyond tacos.

    Mexican here! There is a debate on going of Mexico City claiming that quesadillas are without cheese VS the other 31 states arguing back that quesadillas MUST have cheese 😅 I once dig into this and both sides have good points.
    Anyway Joss, you should one day taste tacos in their own home states, like tacos de cochinita pibil in Yucatan, tacos de carnitas in Michoacan, etc. Man, we can make them on other places and still, there is something unique when you eat it at their origin that adds to their taste somehow.
    The one thing I love about our food is how customized you can make it to your taste, to make it your own. I could eat the same taco as my husband, but each of us will add or avoid certain things according to our taste. For example:
    I add cilantro and onion, he doesn't
    I add a lot of lemon and a bit of salsa, he adds little lemon and lot of salsa
    And so on with most dishes ❤

    Me and my team took over a bar called “cafe de nadie” where I debuted a Filipino chicken adobo taco. I thought it was ballsy to try and showcase my food and culture in a country I’ve never been to.
    But I was given grace and love still staying true to the taco ways.
    Thank you CDMX ❤️

    I don’t know why but this was my favorite video yet.
    I literally caught myself laughing, enjoying your experience and feeling EXACTLY what you’re feeling because gah damn did the same thing in Mexico on a music cruise hahaha

    The main problem is that if you want the whole taco experience you need to travel all across the country: Asada Tijuana, Birria Guadalajara, Carnitas Michoacán, Cochinita Yucatán, Gobernador Mazatlán, Barbacoa Hidalgo, Pastor and Suadero Mexico City, etc.
