Texan food and hospitality is the real deal. We will wear our limited edition Jolly Texas t-shirts with pride getjolly.store
Why does Ducky never get any food? Feed Ducky!
I can't get over the sex faces yall make every time yall take a bite of something 😂
You need to get your hands on a torta cubana, you'll never be the same.
Why would they put Nesquik in high quality Tex-Mex??? Nesquik has a ton of sugar in it. ICK!
@@fridaylong2812 if you are trying to be healthy then dont eat out in texas.
Still have the shirts?
Man, the owner is so nice and friendly. It's a great service quality.
He was but it still comes across as the typical american level of friendly - non-genuine.
@@outogetyougotyou5250that's 100% genuine and that's southern hospitality on full display
Texans are genuinely friendly. Why wouldn't we be? It costs nothing to be friendly and it's contagious
@@outogetyougotyou5250 It's really sad that you live in a place where genuine friendliness is viewed with suspicion. I hope you find your way to a better place.
@@outogetyougotyou5250 It comes across that way because the American service industry is very customer oriented and there are rules about how often to check on customers etc... But if you are familiar with the nuance of the situation, you can tell this guy takes genuine pride in their food and is approaching this with the joyful attitude of sharing something he loves.
1. He is not a low grade server
2. Multiple workers are standing around waiting for the opportunity to be of service
3. Cracking jokes and bragging about prizes
4. Giving Ollie the Abuelitas
None of these things are required, it's a token of genuine hospitality from someone who isn't concerned about earning a tip.
For those of us regulars at Eldorado know Joel is the GOAT. Dude will treat ANYONE like he did you guys, regardless of fame.
good to know that he genuinely takes care of people
@@jishan6992Born and raised in Texas! Only been to that particular location once, but you see men like him all over. Southern hospitality isn’t just a stereotype, it’s the truth. Smile at your neighbors, ask them for sugar, borrow their lawnmower. Maybe they’ll stop in and give you some money to get it trimmed if they notice it particularly overgrown and you can’t get on top of it. It’s a different world
Now I've a reason to go to Texas. I'm making a goal to go to this place. ❤
You don't know Joel. Please don't lie to the internet people.
@@dilypopphow was the food?
The fact that the owner saw them taste their hottest salsa and immediately brought milk and donuts. That's a business owner who genuinely treats his customers as his own family.. Awesome to see..
It was a nice touch but I wonder what his response would have been if there hadn't been a camera crew there. I doubt he would have stayed table-side the entire time.
That's because you are filled with doubt and he is filled with Texas pride of ownership.
❤🤠👍
They didn't pick the place out of a hat, ha ha. It's a popular place BECAUSE the owner cares.
I'm DYING at Ollie being so insistant about the mole having nestle, with Josh being so fed up, only for them to find out it has Abuelita's in it
Abuelita's goes hard though. Even though it's Nestle
@@BeeeazybonesIsn’t the only difference that it has cinnamon in it?
@@bleachdragon88 Oh oh no, I only meant that Nestle is an evil corporation that's hard to get away from
@@Beeeazybones How are they evil? Lol
I was just pointing out the slight difference in their products
@@bleachdragon88The evil of Nestlé has nothing to do with the cinnamon or lack thereof lol. It's something you can Google; I don't really have the time rn to try and summarize it all in a YT comment.
The owner jumping in with cooling foods when his guests couldn't handle the heat; that's class.
Yup. Always ready with an upsell.
I mean they are doing free advertising for his restaurant. You'd pay a hell of a lot more for a 1mil view advertisement than just a plate of donuts and almond milk.
Also it’s 100% our sport to watch non natives try our spicy sauces. They always underestimate and watching that realization hit is high entertainment. My money is on them deliberately watching for the Brits to hit the salsa.
Owner needed to find something else to do ... Huge Over-Sell. Other guest don't get this attention. Very off/putting. Give them a welcome, show them the food they are getting with a very brief explanation.. and get the hell out of the video after that.
@@TenGreenRangersDude, it's a promo video. Of course the owner is gonna wanna make an impression on the audience.
I admire that restaurant owners hustle. He's not afraid of new media and totally embraced the Jolly crew. He knew if he made the experience special it would reflect in the video. This is amazing advertising for his restaurant and he totally deserves it!
I agree and add that most people I encountered while in Texas were really that nice!
Going back soon and I always would pass this spot and never went in. Now imma make it a point.
In all fairness, if you have an award winning restaurant in Austin of all places, you’re gonna be accustomed to that kind of customer. Austin’s chock full of the eccentric types. I’m sure if they went to an ol’ abuella’s restaurant in San Antonio they’d have a much different reception.
Worked for me. Planning to go to the restaurant on my next venture to Austin. I live a few hours away, so it's totally doable.
I agree, I’m in Austin, and will be hopping on Yelp as fast as possible to find this place. 12:04
Dude that owner was just top notch. Obviously he knows the benefit from this video will be great, but also the fact that he seems genuinely chill and passionate.
The dude is like this at 11am on a Monday or 9pm on a Saturday. Can't say enough about this restaurant and all their staff.
You know they’re new to Tex-Mex because Josh is wearing an entirely white shirt to eat salsas and chili, bless him.
😂
Silly man 😅
Every cuisine has its red sauce...
I love the owner “We saw and we came to rescue you. Have some milk!” 😂😂😂😂 Bless.
That part was great 😂😂
And it was almond milk as well! I found that to be really considerate towards any lactose-intolerant individuals who might have their mouths on fire after trying that 😂
@@JCXP123 Truth! :)
@@JCXP123 if it's got cheese in it, why would they be trying it in the first place?
@@tabby_cat sometimes dependent on the lactose-intolerant person’s body cheese is a lot less detrimental than plain milk
Olly being right about the nesquick and the owner being so encouraging about him nailing it is so wholesome
That had me dying of laughter when it turned out he was on the money!
abuelita Taste's nothing like nesquik he was was just being nice its 1000 times better.
@@JesusBermudez-thatguy They're just playing on the fact they're both made by Nestle
I mean, Abuelita Mexican chocolate disks are quite a different product than powdered Nesquik, so I wouldn't say that Olly was right, but I'll give him credit for being close since they're made by the same company (Nestle).
I would totally go there that owner is just so genuine, the food must be good.
As a Latina and a native Texan, there's was a certain level of pride that filled me when they said authentic Mexican food is incomparable to Taco Bell.
I lived in Austin for 15 years and have since relocated to CO. The Mexican fare up here can't compare to real TX tex-mex. They do have a Chuys up here so that's what I eat when I get a craving. I haven't eaten at a taco bell since I moved to TX and probably will never again!
Pride is right! Its great food. There are so many regional Mexican restaurants here in California as well. Mexican fast food is a joke compared to real food.
Tex-Mex is legit, coming from a fellow Tejano!
I'm from Tucson, so Sonoran is my flavor, but yeah. Taco bell isn't actual Mexican food.
First, Taco Bell doesn't claim to be traditional Mexican food. Texas changed that food to Tex-Mex for a reason. Americans like flour tortillas, cheese, beef for fajitas and crispy tacos. We love queso. NONE of that is Mexican. Period. How can you compare the two? Mexico uses hominy, tripe, goat, and a lot of peppers. It's like Mexico doesn't make comparable fried chicken or hamburgers. Italian American is not the same as different regions of Italy. I, personally, don't like interior Mexican cooking. Shrug.
My name is Luke. The number of JOLLY videos I’ve watched where Josh and Ollie say, “Luke, try some of this”- it fills me with instant excitement, only to be followed by utter disappointment when I realise they’re not sharing food with me, but with their editor.
I love how the owner came by like “we saw what just happened. We came by with sweets and milk” lol
He's all in.
That man was so nice and so prepared for everything. So kind too.. Openly showing the ingredient.. even letting Olie take it away.. what a good hearted soul
yes people like that can make your whole evening 100 times better and keep you smiling for days!
One ingredient out of 32!
The owner can get more at H-E-B supermarket, but that was nice
That’s American hospitality for ya! People from other countries should visit the 🇺🇸 more. We love getting to know people of different cultures, races, backgrounds,etc despite what you see or hear from the media. Plus, we have so many different types of good food. Why? That is a result of having so many different immigrants who came to this country. We truly are a melting pot. Cheers!
Yes, he's so knowledgeable about his food that he cannot even pronounce "queso". I'm not eating there if he is that ignorant.
Born and raised in San Antonio, surrounded by authentic Mexican and Tex-Mex. Y’all made me homesick. I live in New Orleans now, so I traded one amazing cuisine for another (I’m Cajun) but MAN, I miss a good queso and some fajitas every now and then. They hooked y’all up, too.
Queso and fajitas is the most Tex mex thing.
@@sekcgamer7623 right?! 😂😂😂
I swear by the San Antonio Tex-Mex and Mexican food!! The SA Mexican food just hits different than anywhere else haha
@@graysonk5477 agreed!! 😂
They just finished their New Orleans series.
As a displaced Texan trapped in Utah, I have to say that I an genuinely jealous of your Texas trip.
Trapped?🤣
Classic! 🤣
I moved from Tucson to Seattle in 1995. It was torture trying to find good Tex Mex
I’m in Cali there’s nothin like that out here 😭😭😭😭
From Arizona living in Utah now.. haven’t found anything that compares :/ I feel your pain
Josh's pure shock when Oli was right about the nesquik was hilarous!
😂
😂
Ollie is a super taster according to the genes test!
@@estherhung8028 😅 he definitely has some special kind of skill!
Josh: You might offend the chef, don't ask!
Mexican Chef in back: Hey, I'm out of takis dust. Don't toss out those pork rinds. I'm gonna smash'em into breading for this chicken. What? He thinks I use Nestle!? Blasphemy! I get the walmart brand.
There really isn’t anything like southern hospitality and these men have it. Hardworking, kind and open. You love to see it!
@@bartwatts1921 What a stupid rebuttal.
@@bartwatts1921 this is exactly why you don’t assume things about people you don’t know on the internet. I HAVE been to Japan. They’re extremely kind there and I respect their collective view of society, how they treat their elders, etc. However, that has nothing to do with what I said. Just because people are nice in Japan doesn’t mean they’re not nice in America. Not sure why this comment was necessary, to be honest. Who’s laughing now?
@@bartwatts1921 why do you choose to turn everything political?????
@@bartwatts1921 well I’ll say it again in hopes it registers this time: I have been to Japan. It’s fine if that’s your opinion and I can agree to some extent, I just can’t imagine completely belittling a group of people in attempts to compliment another.
@@bartwatts1921 I lived there 4 years... I prefer the South anytime
I'm not surprised that their restaurant was so busy when you have that type of food, that type of freshness, and that type of incredible service and passion. This video makes me want to book a trip to Texas to literally just try that restaurant.
“We saw what just happened we’re on the way with some milk” man I love this guy
He is the example of classic southern hospitality
I can't wait for Ollie to try that Abuelita and realize, wait, this is not just Nesquik
💯
Nesquick is overly sweet and because of that it can end up messing with your stomach but Abuelita has that perfect balance of sweetness and creaminess that makes it so hard to emulate. I actually made some for my family a few days ago and we paired it with fresh conchas from the Mexican bakery near us.
Yeah my family loves their Swiss Miss but not me. They’re pretty typical picky eaters.
@NxxtGenD
That only happens to you with the nesquick
I think honestly there needs to be a video entirely devoted for this one topic. Ollie tries Abuelita :D
I love how quick they were to bring the milk because they were watching XD They must've had such a good laugh seeing that before going "oh right get the donuts and milk to save the brits"
Bet it wasn't the first time they've seen someone go over the edge with that sauce. :D
They were Nesquik!
@@whyisthisrequired Ba dum TISSS
It was great fun.
I watch this over and over for the Manager and his staff completely understanding how to sell the idea. Better than a TED TALK ! Good on him!
As a mexican american that goes to mexico 3x a year for months i guarantee u using “Abuelita Hot Choclate” is accurate and everybody uses it for there mole ours doesnt have cheese on top of it but the Abuelita is correct and hands down best Hot Chocolate with bolio or a concha😮💨
Abuelita is trash. And moat moles dont use it. Not sure where in Mexico you go to hahaha
You could see the owner was really excited to showcase and share all of their food
It seemed like an honor to him that these young men from abroad wanted to try their food. He treated them like they came to his house. Really nice vlog!
Well for all its flaws, and it has many, Texas has some of the most welcoming people in the states, if not the world.
Right. You can tell they didn't start out with the idea of making money, then settled on a TexMex restaurant as a way to do it. They started out wanting to share their good food, and now presumably make money doing it. That's a recipe for sustainable real success.
The owners really took good care of Josh and Ollie, hats off. And my mouth was watering the whole time
I loved the team effort!
I loved that they brought them milk!
Love that you guys liked tex mex food.. 😊 As a proud mexican I can say authentic mole sauce does include chocolate amoung other ingredients and I believe it was a meal they prepared for the aztec kings and gods.. I could be wrong take it with a grain of salt. Blessings!
Mole has chocolate
I'm watching this a second time in a row right now, both your reactions to the food just make me happy. Especially Josh, how half the time his eyes go wide and the other half they're closed and he's having a religious experience. Watching you guys eat, it just makes my day better.
"There's no historical significance. They're just good."
Ah, spoken like a true Texan. Love to see y'all kick back and enjoy some good Tex-Mex!
do they really make your mole chocolaty in texas? in alabama its definitely not chocolaty
@@thunderborn3231 the traditional Mexican way of making Mole does include chocolate but you don’t have to add it if you don’t like it :)
@@thunderborn3231 Aileen beat me to it, but yes! Traditional ones are prepared that way!
@@thunderborn3231 yes there's chocolate in the real recipes. But not chocolate in the Hershey's way, but in the pure cocoa form
I’ve lived in Austin for 30 years and watched Jolly for 5. I am incredibly happy to see my favorite Tex Mex joint featured. Joel’s been kicking around Austin kitchens and restaurants for years. His team at El Dorado deserve ALL the goodwill and recognition. Deceptively simply food with layers and layers of amazing flavor and great staff who will make you feel like a regular customer the minute you walk in.
I LOVE Eldorado! So glad they chose to go there ♥️♥️
He seems like a pretty cool guy. The hospitality there is just second to none.
sounds so good! Last time i was in Austin, i went to The Salt Lick BBQ. Simply awesome! What's the best BBQ in AUstin and next time i'm there i'm definitley gonna check out the El Dorado! Great vid!
@@shanecrowe5955 So many “best” bbq joints. Franklin’s gets the most media coverage and their brisket is definitely the best in the area most consistently. It tastes like it was made from the happiest cows on Planet Earth. It’s really special. They accept a limited number of pick up orders 30 days in advance if you want to skip the multiple hours wait.
Snow’s in Lexington (50 mins outside of outside of Austin, Saturday AM only) has won Texas Monthly’s Best BBQ twice (pork ribs, sausage, smoked chicken, and beans are their best offerings.) This is my personal favorite.
Leroy & Lewis is killing it right now and, wow, a major talent.
Terry Blacks is a Best All Around because every dish and side is an A or A+ and they have their operation running right. You experience less of “Item Sold Out” 20 minutes after opening then at many other spots. If you are coming from out of town and don’t want to miss out on a variety of meats, TB is always a solid choice. Their bottled condiment sauces (not bbq sauce, more like Hot Ones hot sauces) like Chipotle Mustard are available for sale and a great way to elevate sandwiches and eggs back home.
Interstellar in Cedar Park (15 mins Northwest) is another huge up-and-comer but it seems difficult to make enough BBQ to meet demand. Saturdays have a bigger menu with some featured meats but it’s very limited. Honestly, it’s such a crapshoot, I haven’t even tried ordering from them for several months.
@@keawarren thanks for the info!!!
Texas IMO is a food paradise and is diversified as the people. No matter where you are there will be something you like and reminds you of home. Even in deep East Texas there is a large diversity of cuisines from Cajun to what I call country food (peas, corn, okra, turnip greens, fried catfish). The one that binds us all is Tex-Mex and places like Eldorado Café exemplifies Texas hospitality.
Texas mexican restaurants always serve chips and salsa without additional cost. Its the first thing on the table and they tell a lot about the food.
The owners bringing out the donut and milk at the perfect timing and Ollie’s free Abuelita is just so freakin hilarious 🤣
Ollie proven right, Josh will never hear the end of this 😂 I love Tex-Mex.
The eyes closing and also rolling back say it all.
These gentleman are so entertaining.
so nice to see the owner SO excited and SO pumped to share his food with you.
As a Mexican, I love Tex-Mex food. But you should also travel to Oaxaca Mexico and try real Molé
It's sad that most of the world thinks Mexican food is just tacos and chili rellenos. I've heard it said that Mexico has a cuisine as diverse as China.
@@kansashoneybadger7899 just get any of Diana Kennedy's books. She did the same thing - in the 50's and 60's. The recipes are authentic, and her recipes cover each region of the country. But I still make my late mil's mole. It's the only one he will eat lol.
@@kansashoneybadger7899e've already had good mexican food for ages. u just been eating in crap restaurants. theres plenty of mexican variety. (mostly bbq varieties i will admit) u just gotta know where to look
Fact: there are more than 500 variations of mole, in all colors and textures, being the mole poblano (the one they tried in the video) the most well known. And yes, most of mole recipes comes from Oaxaca state. And no, the real recipe doesn't include commercial chocolate but true cacao (or at least, raw cocoa) and other 25 ingredients.
Believe me there are plenty of places to try "real" mole in Texas.
As someone who is used to these foods, I’m genuinely concerned about what you guys are eating in Britain
It’s all boiled meats and cabbage
@@stevendorriesblack sausage
@@akuhappy3246😂
@@aubweeee and eel jellied
They like spotted dick
The crackers are because lots of people like to crush crackers and mix them into chili.
Some add cheese, fresh chopped onions, or sour cream. Some people do a combo of any or all of those items.
As a native Texan from San Antonio. Texas is amazing! From the tacos to the bbq. We have some seriously good eats! So glad you enjoyed the food!! We are proud to share our food and culture with anyone! Food is life!! Here’s to hoping you come back and try some more food in Texas.🍻
as a mexican I was started to feeling a little offended by ollie's comment about mole flavor combination of "nesquik and fajitas" but then I realized that is the most British reaction 😂
He does that everywhere, comparing food to something with which he is familiar.
The comment that got me was "we don't have these types of flavors in Britain." XD With the exception of foods from invaded countries, Britain doesn't have flavors, full stop.
The Eastern hemisphere wouldn't have cacao, vanilla, tomatoes, chilies, potatoes or maize; The Western hemisphere wouldn't have citrus, apple, banana, mango, coffee, tea, wheat, onion, or rice without the Columbian exchange.
Most of the most famous national dishes of Asia, Europe and and the Americas, wouldn't exist without plants and sometimes animals from the opposite hemisphere, brought by Europeans.
@@catstreat9434 pickled onions, boom
I think that’s why josh was giving him side eyes and telling him it’s not,
Josh understood how offensive it is to the cook who creates the dish
can we have a series where ollie recreates the dishes just by taste and memory alone?
Omg.. that's a brilliant idea. Would truly love to see that 😂
sounds like it would be a disaster but knowing Ollie he'll probably surprise us 😂
"Hey we are jolly and we are here today in the Jolly Kitchen to have a super secret conversation about Ollie"
@@RedCocoon "This is Jolly Jackass!"
I want to see him make texmex with nesquick
Ollie looking up and blinking while processing The Food and ending with a smile always makes me laugh 😂
I always keep coming back to this video, the hospitality of the staff is just so wholesome, they seemed so proud of their food its great to see!
I love how feeding the food to Luke after trying it has become such a big part of the videos on both channels :D
Poor Ducky though lol

I now demand an episode where Ollie makes mole with fajita seasoning and nesquik
vs authentic mole!
i demand this too. i think ollie should be given fajita stuff and nesquick then cook it versus a chef who knows how to cook mole that has actual mole ingredients. (someone don't tell Ollie that there is multiple different colored mole).
...and does a channel cross over to make poor Bruvna and the high school boys try it.
Just wanna put an appreciation post for Joel, what an absolute legend, looked after you guys like you were family, fed you some amazing food, and the bants were on point
Queso = milk of the gods. 😂😂😂 Damn right it is!! Yes, we judge Tex Mex restaurants by their chips, salsa & guacamole. Damn right we do!! ~ signed, 10th-generation Texian and Native American.
Southern hospitality at it's finest! "We saw that, we have milk on the way..." 😂 lol
I always thought if texas being the wild wild west not really southern like Georgia, Alabama or Louisiana
@@jonsnow2555 lol, I get where you're coming from.
I went to a few places in Texas and while each were a bit different, the restaurants were all the same. A lovely southern accent, great hospitality, but they do NOT do sweet tea lol so be forewarned 😋 (at least the places I went- did not)
@@crimsonmckenzie98Of course we do sweet tea.
@@crimsonmckenzie98 Texas does not do Sweet Tea? Hahahahaha!!!!......
Like I said, the places I went did not. I was shocked! They handed me unsweetened with sugar packets lol I visited San Antonio, and a few places through Wichita Falls. *Shrugs
They took SUCH good care of you, omg! I love when you guys come to The States and have a pleasant experience. You can always count on a Southerner to be full of hospitality and warmth, it's a special brand of their own. My mouth was watering with every bite you took. Way to go, Ollie, what a decerning palate you have!
I know, right? I can only watch Jolly if I am also eating something myself, otherwise it's just torture 😂
They really did take care of them. Very respectful al the way around.
The owners are so excited to share everything with them. That’s awesome.
Born and raised in Texas. Been a fan of you guys for a long time now. I absolutely loved all the Texas videos. You seem to have really enjoyed yourselves while you were here. I love seeing you guys try all the new flavors and foods. And of course I am happy that you got to try your first Tex Mex, Whataburger, Rodeo, Buccees, and of course, the BBQ. I loved that you enjoyed so much. Hope you guys get to come back again and do this all over.
I love when Ollie’s wild comparisons turn out to be correct 😂
Except in this case he's not correct at all and the owner of the restaurant was just being nice in saying he nailed it. 😀
@@PorcupinePunched wrong! Traditionally Molé has the chocolate bars he handed him. There are different states in Mexico that will swap out the brand or tartness by using dark chocolate and some will even make their own chocolate bars from scratch and use them but the recipe requires chocolate bars.
@@geniuswithacapitalk No, not wrong. That's exactly what I said. You use Abuelita, not Nesquik like Ollie said. So my point still stands.
@@PorcupinePunched Although no states in Mexico traditionally use Nesquik or other powder hot chocolate mixes on their mole recipes, you could use it in a pinch for the chocolate flavor. I personally don't like it since it makes the mole sauce taste much sweeter due to the extra ingredients added to them and I'm not a fan of sweet sauces, but you could definitely use it.
And btw... He's 100% correct in saying that in different states we use different chocolates for our mole. Abuelita is the most common store-bought chocolate but there's many brands that can be used for mole. In the state of Chihuahua there's a preference for Oso chocolate and in the south it is much more common to buy homemade chocolate bars.
@@ivanavila9074 I appreciate your opinion, but I have to disagree. I've only had one type of mole that I think nesquik could maybe work in, used in any others and it would just ruin the flavor profile and completely change dish. With the time and work involved in making mole who is going to settle for using the wrong ingredient?
I'm not sure what kind of family you come from, but mine and nobody's that we knew had fancy pre-mixed chocolate milk powder, we made it ourselves from cocoa and sugar because those are staple pantry ingredients and you can use them in more than one thing, like mole. Sure cocoa powder isn't traditional, but in a pinch it will work and not mess up the flavors to such an extent.
Every bite, Josh closes his eyes with internal reflection. Ollie on the other hand, rolls his eyes upward as if he's looking for the food Gods! Love it!
Love how this channel showcases the best of America, and two of the most delightful personalities, Josh and Olly, can't get enough of them. Pure fun to watch, this is wholesome entertainment.
Just came back to the States after living in the UK for a year and a half- first thing I did was go for Mexican- I actually cried eating my first chip.
Hopefully it was away from Texas, somehow better Mexican food resides everywhere else but Texas.
@@sekcgamer7623California propaganda
Go to Arizona for some good Mexican food, no offense but better if the owner is Mexican
@@sekcgamer7623 Theres better Tex-Mex outside Texas than in Texas?
@@TOMVUTHEPIMP are you asking a question? , there’s better Mexican food everywhere else but Texas. When you don’t have reading comprehension.
The owner just seemed like the nicest man you would ever meet, probably what makes what you eat even better being in such a positive environment
He is the nicest man. I can confirm.
Abuelita was a Mexican actress that Nestle asked if she wanted to be the face of thee chocolate. She said yes, she was already known as Mexico's abuelita. So it fit perfectly.
Olly is amazing in describing things, I mean not just food but the way he describes everything.
Mole is a huge dish in Mexico. Everyone has their own recipes, but most will include chocolate, peanut butter, almonds, dried chilis, and about 30 other ingredients. It's usually served at weddings or quincineras, or other special occasions. It's usually served over bone in chicken.
I so miss it. My aunt use to make it it for our family unions, she married a Mexican and her mother in law taught her how to make her husband’s favorite dishes. Her mole was always gone first without everyone getting some, huge family and she bought 2 huge dishes of it. I asked her to teach me, nope she wouldn’t break her promise to her mother in law.
Before I began teaching Hispanic kids in high school classes, I had never once heard or thought of adding chili to chocolate. Brilliant!!
Pumpkin seeds
Nuts, seeds, ripe plantain, dark chocolate, ancho pepper, etc.
@@jakesbel8237 there’s too many good mole recipes, just pick one with good comments on RUclips haha
I will *never* get over how hilarious it is that Brit's call plain tortillas "tacos" and plain tortilla chips "nachos."
I went to England last year as a native Texan that's half Mexican and they literally thought Nacho Cheese Doritos were Tortilla Chips. That's all you could find if you went looking for some in the local stores. Such a shame really, I was dying without some, but I didn't have enough knowledge of their ovens to figure it out and handmake em myself.
I'm confused, I'm a bit and we have plain tortilla chips everywhere,you must have met some very culturally clueless people and been to shops that don't carry a wide choice...
Brit*
We don't call plain tortillas tacos lol we call tortillas tortillas and taco shells taco shells
@rhi91 are you down in Southern England or up in Northern England? I imagine down south England (i.e.: closer in proximity to London), you will find plenty. Up in Northern England, not a single tortilla chip and I was not about to take all the trains to go down to London for a bag of tortilla chips 🤣 cuz that's crazy! And I only was able to go to Tescos because in the smaller villages up North, that's all they got. Now going to York (a big city) could probably find tortilla chips, but if I'm going to a big city, I'm not looking for my personal comfort food as a tourist. If I'm staying in the smaller villages where restaurants are just fish n chip shops, yeah. I'd appreciate some comfort food.
So glad you had such a great time in Texas. One of the things I love about your videos is you are always having a good time whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Always a day brightener to watch your videos.
Bc of this episode of Jolly. I'm planning to stop by this restaurant on my next road trip. I am so excited to visit.
The owner is so proud and so welcoming! The hospitality makes a place 10 times better!!!!
Yep, and he knows how to utterly fail at Spanish. "kwes-so" instead of "queso". Give me a break. I'M not setting foot in that joint. And I live here.
Well as a native Texan and very versed on Tex Mex, I never would have guessed that y'all would introduce me to the best TexMex My wife and I have ever had. We happened to be in Austin when this video came out and had to try the place. Hands down the Best TexMex we have ever had. Thank y'all! Thanks for all the Awesome videos! Love y'all!
Yeah? My sister & brother in law are on a trip in Austin I’ll tell them to check out this place while they’re there since u give it such high praise
In Austin??

Great video, y'all had me cracking up everytime you both took a bite and your eyes just rolled into the back of your head...born and raised in Texas and Mexican, so I grew up on all the foods you tried as well as a many other comfort dishes they don't serve in restaurants...it's very satisfying to see your appreciation or our cuisine...
The food looks so incredible and the hospitality is top notch, it's really making me want to go there..
As a Texan, seeing Ollie & Josh reacting to food from Texas, makes me crave every single thing they've eaten on their trip to texas and pretty proud. Josh's reactions are everything!!!!
There’s nothing more Tex Mex than that restaurant, now go get some real MEX food.
I am making the mistake of binge watching the Texas food episodes. I am going to want everything… now!
@karenk3043 that was me the whole time watching these episodes!!!! 😂
As a non Texan I’m upset I can’t just go drive down the road and get the food they’ve been eating 😭
@@Bootyjuice.. you don’t want this 🤣
low key I think my kink is now seeing Luke being fed on camera. Even without the 'sparkle' edit you can just see just how much he's enjoying what he's eating.
dont think that's the right word to use, unless....😳
I've started to imagine the sparkle edit on my own now 😂😂
Love this comment 😂😂😂
erm... your kink??
@@pennysteckhan7437 They meant to say 'fetish'. Much better.
The owner 💯.. he was just fantastic. Love the hospitality.
I am so glad you guys got to enjoy Texas cuisine. It is a one of a kind place.
As someone who lives in Texas, this warms my heart. Tex-Mex is so good!!! Should have ended with a Tres Leches, not donuts.
Tres Leches is more true Mexican food than Tex-Mex!
or a pumpkin empanada or a marranito... Yum!
@@jathygamer8746 And definitely should have been drinking horchata!!!
No offense but Tex-Mex is one of the worst type of Mexican food.
Was hoping for a cheese enchilada with queso and sopapillas.
As a fellow Texan from Houston, I’m so glad Josh, Ollie and the Jolly team were able to experience & enjoy our food and culture! Y’all enjoy your trip! 🤠
I really wanna try all the Southern cuisines in the States!!
I love that they were both sweating bullets by the time they finished their meal....welcome to Texas! 😅
Orgasmic?
As a native Texan and someone who's 1/4 Mexican, I have to say I'm a little biased towards Mexican food over Tex-Mex, but there are a few gems that hold up and stand out over other Tex-Mex restaurants. 😂❤
I love how passionate u all are about food. Its so cute!
I nearly died laughing with the nesquik reference lol
As someone who is Mexican, chocolate abuelita and nesquik are not even on the same playing field
Enjoy the abuelita, it makes the best hot chocolate
Exactly! Ollie needs to make it as hot chocolate first, and realize that
We don’t have much Mexican food in the UK. Curious to know what Mexicans think of texmex?
@@sarahRA86 I'm not Mexican but I'm spanish speaker and I can tell you they just hate they mix it in the mexican food category, it's just an american thing with some mexican ingredients.
@@sarahRA86 Tex Mex food is it’s own thing. I would not say it is Mexican food. It is very much a staple of Texas and some surrounding states (it’s regional cuisine).
@@maria-anacerna1518 same with some filipino dishes being spanish inspired... just a south west american fusion cuisine
It's so Ollie to immediately, within 10 seconds of the start of the video, attempt to speak in Spanish. He never minds when an idea fizzles out awkwardly, and I love it 😂
I am SO going to this restaurant for lunch next time I'm in Austin. What an absolute rock star of an owner/manager. I want to thank Jolly for letting us know about this wonderful place.
That ownersservice was absolutely fantastic. You can tell he loves what he does.
I'm in Austin, and Eldorado Cafe is our favorite spot. Plus, the owners are our good friends, and both of my kids work there! It really is as good as it looks in the video. No trickery there. I love that these guys had such a great experience. Everybody should check it out when they are in Austin.
I love that so many comments are astonished by how well the owner took care of the guys. That's just good ol' Texas hospitality at it's finest! I can't even imagine how blown away their British palates were. Flavor bombs all over their taste buds!
I find it cool that everywhere u guys go people a genuinely nice with u lads your energy is positive
5 year old me when i eat my parents food that they say isn't spicey :
10:10
I’m a Texan who moved to West Africa two years ago, and man did this video do things to my heart! I miss great Tex-Mex so much, but I was so happy to see y’all enjoying it so much!
At least you still get spice!
Why WOUKD you go to Africa
I’m so sorry you are from Texas. Such a horrible state.
@@bartwatts1921 man I love living here! So cheap compared to California where I used to be from! Great BBQ too!
@@bartwatts1921 The low cost of living and friendly people are two very big upsides of Texas! Don't delude yourself, you have some Grade A jerks in the blue states, too. They're just a different flavor.
I’m from the UK, every video I’ve watched of the south I’m really understanding the “southern hospitality” that’s so often talked about.
You’re all so lovely and great hosts!
Thank yah kindly! 😉
We Texans pride ourselves in our hospitality.
If you meet a grumpy person he/she is from out of state.
@@TrulyUnfortunate Here we go. Can you sing "Blame California" to the tune of "Blame Canada"?
@@BTinSF
Dont see why not.
I was born in Wisconsin but moved to Houston in my mid 40s and southern people are truly the kindest people you will ever meet!!!!
I really enjoy how they share food with their production crew, Brilliant...
That owner is AMAZING!!! HE'S SO GENUINELY NICE!!!! LOVE HIM!!!! ❤❤❤
We are not heathens we use a spoon for our chili and some people like to put saltine crackers into their chili. This was great! Thank you Josh and Ollie.
Ran to the comments when I saw them eat it on the cracker 😂 crumble them up and put them in for crunch!
@@byeolbitch I do that with most soups lol.
Do you just eat it like by itself?
@@animal9633 Yup, if you've never had it the closest thing I could compare it to would be a thick stew
I know! Eating like chips and dip made me laugh! 🤣🤣
The way Ollie just compared Ed Sheeran to the Thunder Rosa Taco is something so unexpected but so Ollie-core. 😆
ikr?!! 😂 That got me.
We can always rely on him for these kinds of completely left-field observations 😂
iirc he made the same comparison to something else they tasted on jolly
Free chips and salsa, free water and free refills on drinks are like the best things ever. Plus, pictures on the menu with just numbers for the items make things so simple.
I like that you take care of your sound & camera man. Enjoy, food is what going to make each country come together.
Saying Abuelita is basically Nesquik is like saying Hersheys is basically Cadbury 😂
Hershey is ass Cadbury is king. No comparison you are correct 😁
abuelita is very different from any other form of chocolate. it's hard to describe, it's something you have to taste and decide whether or not you like it.
@@marzsit9833 You know, I live half the year near Tucson now and they have Abuelita in all the stores, of course, but I've never tried it. Many times I told myself I should. Maybe now I will. I love mole but the recipes I've seen don't necessarily call for that specific brand of chocolate so I've never bought it to make mole either.
Word!!!
Exactly.
Tex-Mex is a hard one because depending where you go it's going to be different. Austin is always trying out new dishes. Look for two things for a traditional meal. One check if the parking lot is full and two see if you see a lot of Hispanic or Mexican customers.
When visiting Texas it's usually best to skip Austin altogether.
This food is literally what every hole in the wall "mexican" restaurant in america serves tbh. This is no different from any mexican restuarant in north carolina that I've been to.
@@ConnorLipke Authentic Mexican food is different from what you find in the states. Tex/Mex is what you find in Texas. I have tried Mexican food in different states and it's only called Mexican food that's about it. What it really is who knows?
@@jeep146 Tex mex is a nation wide thing. There is no authentic mexican food here. Every mexican restaurant serves tex mex. There is nothing in this video that I can't get at any generic mexican restaurant in the country. It may have started in texas, but it's not unique to texas. I live in coastal NC and I can drive to a shitty mexican restaurant and eat everything shown in this video.
@@jeep146 bro it's all Mexican food it's like coming to America and being like food served in Arkansas is not American food because it's not from Florida
I freaking love both the hosts of this restaurant! Love his demeanor and how he casually made the queso slurping joke. And the dude with the glasses is like the guy you'd love to stop by for a beer or visit because you know he's good ppl. They both are. And the food looks insanely delicious! I love this one!
Texas is such a wonderful state with the nicest people. I prefer authentic molé myself, made from cocoa and no sugar, but I do like tex mex style food.El Dorado looks very good.
As a Tejano (Texas born with Mexican ancestry), I loved this episode and I'm so glad that you went to a top shelf Tex-Mex restaurant. I am always impressed with your reactions to the discovery of new tastes. I've been watching your Texas experience. So glad that you enjoyed your visit and the foods at the BBQ restaurant and at the Houston Rodeo! Thanks for sharing your experiences, guys!!😀
You’re a damn pocho, this man needs to get real Mexican food, not this garbage.
What is Tex-Mex cuisine😮?
"as a tejano...blah blah" sounds like youre white bubba
I busted a gut when they tried the spiciest sauce. It was just🥵. And then the owners came and said "we saw everything" They just knew what was going to happened and prepped before hand!😂😂😂
I know right! My go to for combating hella spicy food is sour cream or yogurt.
I love how they share w the camera crew, that's the sign of good food when you JUST HAVE TO SHARE!
Many American family owned restaurants are like this. Much pride is taken in food and service and great family recipes
