I’m Mexican but I agree with Joe on authenticity. I went to a Vietnamese restaurant and i knew i was at the right one. All the employees spoke little English with thick accents. Angry wife in the kitchen yelling at her husband (the owner) about his gambling addiction. And the Pho was great! lmao
just so you know all vietnamese and chinese restaurants got mexican cooks in the back its only the ones in the front that are asian to give off the illution statistically %99.98 of all restaurants are ran by mexican cheffs cause being a cook is one of the hardest most stressfull jobs where ur in a stupid hot kitchen all day being rushed and burned consitently by hot pans and the pressure to get out orders on time without any of them coming back from fear of stuf being under cooked is so crazy only mexicans can handle that kinda work while also being paid under the table below min wage
If the restaurant is asian food, the server treats you like shit, the menu is sticky and their kids are doing homework in the corner. That food is gonna slap harder than a drunk step father.
I’m Mexican and you can def eat healthy, I grew up eating a lot of caldos, nopales, so much fruit, oatmeal, green juices, my grandparents were health nuts lol I didn’t eat fast food until I was 14 and I got soooooo sick, now I can’t even stand the sight of it 😂
My grandpa lived until like 91 and he smoked and drank alot. He only ate beans, nopales, squash and corn tho mainly. He was always thin as fuck. My dads side tho other story my other grandpa was hella fat and died early (they were wealthier)
Most Mexican family are not like this at least growing up for me idk now you are some of the few to be healthy like that again I think things are a lil different since the Mexican/Hispanic community are more in touch with health now
@@carlosflores4380 I do think that Mexicans that are closer to their Aztec roots ear healthier, the colonizers are the ones who ate cheese and meat everyday and died young. My dad’s parents still speak Náhuatl. In their late 80’s now still, standing up straight, no meds, and have great teeth lol
The people I work with do not like Mexican food, or they do, but do not know how to eat it. I work with a few Mexicans who hate Tomatoes, Onions, Cilantro, Lettuce, Pico, Guac, Beans and sour cream, freaking weird. I remember one time I was in our break room, I pulled out an Avocado from my lunch bag, one of my Mexican coworkers asked me what is that, this is no joke he did not know what I was holding in my hand. When I told him it was an Avocado he said gross. Mexican food is the best, what makes it so good is not just the meat, it is everything that goes in it and on it, these are the things these people I know take off. Just today one of my American coworkers went out for lunch and brought back a bag of Flautas for everyone with nothing to go with it like sour cream, just plain dry Flautas, who eats that with no sour cream.
Mexican food isn't unhealthy as a default. The thing is people are now eating foods we used to only eat on special occasions and eating it every day. When I was growing up in central Mexico they didn't sell street tacos except for Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays when people had days off and had gotten their pay from work.
@anthromer9585 Beans aren't always cooked with lard and you aren't supposed to eat loads of tortillas. That's like saying asian cuisine is unhealthy because it's always accompanied by rice. Every cuisine has a staple source of carbs, that's wheat/bread for european cuisine.
That’s so crazy to Hear Joe mention the taco spot “ The big burrito “ in Canoga park , literally my taco spot when I crave tacos and or a burrito . Joe knows 🔥🔥
My problem is I'll go 3-4 weeks just eating chicken and rice and being good and then I'll get 1 cheese burger or a taco and my brain goes right back. It's a struggle but I think it's worth it.
Man, you need to have some diversity! Eating the same thing over and over for 4 weeks sound like a torture for your body. No wonder that you then go back after one meal. Also, cheat meals/days once a week make all the difference when it comes to sticking to the diet. As joe said, the trick is it needs to be sustainable
he mentioned Barbacoa tacos and pork guisado tacos which are actually authentic traditional Mexican food I think this man just ate Mexican food in Texas and got it confused for Tex-Mex lol.
What Iglesias says about having money and eating out all the time is so true. When I was a broke college student I had to penny pinch anyway I could and that meant eating at home a lot and in smaller portions. Now that I have a career with a good sized paycheck coming in, I gained a lot of weight from constantly going out to restaurants.
I know some hondurans, chileans and colombians, they take good food seriously, if the mexicans take good food as serious as them it makes sense. they are proud of their Home made stuff.
Mexico shares the border with the US and they're just now surpassing Italian and Chinese?? Damn...They've been holding the crown for the longest and their countries are not even close to the US.
Mexican here, just to make note that barbacoa is NOT texmex, you can find barbacoa everywhere in mexico, there are so many diferent ways to make it but it is barbacoa
Just something to point out, barbacoa in central Mexico is different from the north. Over there, it is made out of sheep or goat cooked overnight in a pit. In Northern Mexico, barbacoa is made out of beef head
I don't know what Fluffy meant with Barbacoa. But that is not TexMex. That is actually from the State of Hidalgo (precisely the Mezquital Valley) in Mexico. Extremelly delicious if cooked well. Maybe he meant something else, I don't know.
finally, I found a comment mentioning it. I just think he's not that educated, so he doesn't know what he's talking about. A lot of people think burritos are Tex-Mex too, but we eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner up North XD
knowing joe, I knew he would for SURE be more into real authentic mexican food than fluffy. I know a lot of guys like flufffy and they always prefer the americanized or tex mex food joints. joe knows the real stuff. like the fact that he would always mention "el yukateco" hot sauce... thats a real hot sause that only mexicans know about. I checked the placed that he mentioned, and looking at the pictures... thats% authentic mexican food. he really knows his stuff. the first giveaway of a real mexican taco joint is if they include a roasted jalapeno in every order another sign is if they have a vertical broiler for meat called a "trompo" which is used for "pastor" tacos thats mexico city style tacos, and if they include pineapple in your pastor tacos, it doesnt get more authentic than that.
@@meb280 lol nope, not even close. You might not know about it, but there is already a NORTHERN MEXICO. the space in between the rio grande and sourhern Mexico is not an empty void. Tex Mex is waayy different than Mexican food because even though it derives from mexican food, it is rooted in the ingredients that were available to early mexican immigrants in texas. Once the border was established, mexican decendents and mexican immigrants had to make due with the short selection of ingredients available to them to prepare traditional mexican food. That's why some of its main ingredients are american ingredients, and it also has a very short selection of ingredients, because they had to use the limited selection found at the time.
@@heroedeleyenda05 my point is not that they are the same. They are distinct but each has its own merits. Call it a fusion. Fusion dishes are very popular.
@@meb280 then youre basically introducing a whole different conversation. My point and joes point was about authentic mexican food. But here you come talking about fusión. If someone ask you where to find authentic new york style pizza, you wouldnt say "oh i know this great american/japanese fusion place" And to be honest, tex mex is not even fusion, its its own off-shoot of mexican food, but its not authentic mexican food.

The part where fluffy says he was in better shape when he was broke. That’s funny cause i always laugh when people say “if i was rich id be in shape and eat healthy with my own personal chef” 😂 No you would not you’d be going out eating so much worse crap
even tho I love mexican food, I’m super picky because not all mexican food tastes the same. I love both texmex and authentic but depends who’s making it. I love Sinaloa style Mexican food because everything is bomb, but there are some dishes from Sonora, Michoacán, Zacatecas, etc that i like too, but they have to be made the “traditional” way for me to call it Authentic. Like barbacoa or birria cooked in a hole in the ground, not made in a pot on the stove.
Been to like 20+ Mexican states Also been to like 40+ U.S states Mexican food was different in every single one of them. Even in any given city no two restaurants are the same. I’ve never had a mole/tamal taste the same in all my travels, similar but never identical.

like most addictions it isn't about the substance it is about the underlying issue that the addict is trying to bury, ignore, or distract from. The drug could be anything , the underlying issue is fear, loss, trauma, stress etc.. The substance then becomes the coping mechanism and over time the amount increases and benders happen then it becomes an addiction.
Not to one up anyone… Pharr Tx “ which is Hidalgo” in the 70s , you couldn’t go hungry for nothing!!!

Well,if you go in deep in Mexico you don't go hangry up to this days,even the humble's family they offeryou something to eat, that's one of the reasons I'm very proud to be Mexican.
Joe going through food to get to exercise which was the original subtopic to get fluffy to be more comfortable talking was so smart and sensible. Interviewing mastermind. Absolute genius
Nah, what happened was that for the millionth time a joke flew over his big bald head and he started talking about food in pseudoscientific terms when he should have laughed instead.
Yeah Mexican food isn't unhealthy by default. It's mostly that people are now used to every day eating of foods we used to only eat on special ocassions.
Damm thats thats right ✅️ big burrito is a gem in the city of canoga park.. Its the best mexican food in the valley.. u can see the grandma in the kitchen cooking with the mexican apron..thats how u now u at the right place.if u grew up in canoga u know
Back in the 90s in Michigan before authentic tacos de barbacoa, lengua, al pastor, Mexican breakfast, etc was on every block I remember when I would travel around the state for my job and I would look for the dives in places to get the good stuff. I like Tex Mex too but probably equally to authentic. A gringo friend of mine cracked me up when I took him to a dive that served great Mex food and he said..."You know your in a great Mexican dive with great food when the mild hot sauce is in the mustard squeeze bottle and the hot is in the ketchup bottle" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“Hey Joe! We’re having Gabriel “fluffy” Iglesias on the show so we NEED to talk about Mexican food! Just like every other Mexican American comedian we have on the show! Anything you can talk about in regard to Mexican culture the better!”
tradicional mexican food is hella healthy. Nopales, quelites,frijoles, maíz de nixtamal, jitomate, tomate verde, chiles. Lean meats, meat processed flour tortillas and oil everyday is recent in the past 100 years
@@noskpain2792 that’s not traditional foods it’s new from the past 100 years. Tortillas from nixtamal from your Milpa aren’t unhealthy. Premade ones are. I’m not saying every Mexican eats healthy I’m saying traditional foods more than 300/400 yrs old are healthy and some Communities still eat them. Not everyone
Him saying I prefer Tex-Mex over regular Mexican just proved how not mexican he is to me. He's never been to central mexico and tried the gastronomy and best restaurants and local faborites
TexMex Barbacoa is an Original Authentic Mexican Barbacoa that Texans add their regional ingredients/flavors too remix it to their standards. In others words is a FUSION. Just like Pizza topping changes region to region.
Well, tex mex IS Mexican food as well, thats why it has the Mex in it. If it were British it would be Tex Brit for that matter. Whatever Mexicans create is Mexican. Every region or area of Mexicans within Mexico and the US have their own unique cuisine and guess what, they are all Mexican, period.
Also Mexican, my mom learned from my dad mom how to cooked the way he liked, Texmex, he's from Del Rio. She's from Pico in LA. I have been moving through cycles of "authentic" - Texmex - whatever. 🖤
My dad didn’t try McDonalds till he was 17 when he first came from Mexico. He use to be so skinny. Now he’s a big fella cause he loves American food 😂. It’s really bad for you, I know, but at least he doesn’t drink or smoke.

El Hidanguese
Taqueria Aguascaliente
Those are some examples, so you have a good frame of reference on how it looks when it’s a proper representation of Mexican food. Might
Not always the most esthetic looking places but the smiles and aromas will tell you are home.
Saludos de Puerto Vallarta.
@@pasofino9583 Very true, I must say tho that i found the best tacos i ever had in Austin; I dont remember the name but i do recall that there was this huge park 1 block away, then a gas station and right next to the gas station was this tiny stall putting out some fire tacos.
like most addictions it isn't about the substance it is about the underlying issue that the addict is trying to bury, ignore, or distract from. The drug could be anything , the underlying issue is fear, loss, trauma, stress etc.. The substance then becomes the coping mechanism and over time the amount increases and benders happen then it becomes an addiction.
i have a fear of not eating hamburgers
Joe the type to talk you into ordering some food for him 😂
Imagine been in Hidalgo or Queretaro eating the real barbacoa de borrego y menudo, that's the real thing, that's totally different world
The menudo cooked underground from a pithole 🔥
Not to one up anyone… Pharr Tx “ which is Hidalgo” in the 70s , you couldn’t go hungry for nothing!!! Old people would flag you down to give you , every type of citrus , figs, black diamond water melon the yellow and orange and red flesh kind, cantaloupe ,honey dew, corn, all sorts of berries, real tacos, menudo, tripas, because it was all farm land, and they threw parties every weekend it seemed.
Well,if you go in deep in Mexico you don't go hangry up to this days,even the humble's family they offeryou something to eat, that's one of the reasons I'm very proud to be Mexican.
Tomorrow it's Sunday and Mexicans eat menudo for breakfast on Sundays and that's exactly what I'm doing as soon as I wake up.
He is right recently I've been getting addicted to being healthy
That place Joe mentioned has some bomb tacos.
So joe is more Mexican than me? He eats menudo and I don’t. And in Mexican 🥲😂
Pretty much lmao
I want an extra crispy tripas taco with refried beans and fresh onions, fresh jalapenos and cilantro ❤️
Joe going through food to get to exercise which was the original subtopic to get fluffy to be more comfortable talking was so smart and sensible. Interviewing mastermind. Absolute genius
Nah, what happened was that for the millionth time a joke flew over his big bald head and he started talking about food in pseudoscientific terms when he should have laughed instead.
I thought Joe didn’t like fluffy guess I’m wrong glad to see him in the pod
He’s just not funny , but seems like a nice guy though
@@92akucaballero97What lol?
Trying to eat healthy is def challenging when you’ve eating Mexican food all your life lol
Mexican food is heathy . It’s the soda and Mexican bread that’s gets Mexicans hella fat
Yeah Mexican food isn't unhealthy by default. It's mostly that people are now used to every day eating of foods we used to only eat on special ocassions.
A commentator and a real comedian.
3:30 San Antonio Texas H.E.B has fresh sushi too
I love authentic Mexican food, but Tex-Mex every now and then is great!!
Damm thats thats right ✅️ big burrito is a gem in the city of canoga park.. Its the best mexican food in the valley.. u can see the grandma in the kitchen cooking with the mexican apron..thats how u now u at the right place.if u grew up in canoga u know
Fluffy lost his street cred with that Tex Mex comment.
Back in the 90s in Michigan before authentic tacos de barbacoa, lengua, al pastor, Mexican breakfast, etc was on every block I remember when I would travel around the state for my job and I would look for the dives in places to get the good stuff. I like Tex Mex too but probably equally to authentic. A gringo friend of mine cracked me up when I took him to a dive that served great Mex food and he said..."You know your in a great Mexican dive with great food when the mild hot sauce is in the mustard squeeze bottle and the hot is in the ketchup bottle" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
vast majority of americans never actually ate mexican food, they eaten gringo version of it.
@@kem1233 maybe, I mean today it's pretty easy in populated states to get authentic Mexican food.
@@Professional-fh1ow now. It's worse. Most of major restaurants r owned by non mexicans
“Hey Joe! We’re having Gabriel “fluffy” Iglesias on the show so we NEED to talk about Mexican food! Just like every other Mexican American comedian we have on the show! Anything you can talk about in regard to Mexican culture the better!”
Been going to the spot he mentioned since I was a kid, its legit!
tradicional mexican food is hella healthy. Nopales, quelites,frijoles, maíz de nixtamal, jitomate, tomate verde, chiles. Lean meats, meat processed flour tortillas and oil everyday is recent in the past 100 years
It really isn't
@@noskpain2792 it is but diet has changed so much with processed foods and oils and livestock . Traditional Indigenous foods are hella healthy
@@noskpain2792 some Communities still eat traditional indigenous foods and some don’t
@@alidelatierra No family i have in Mexico eats unhealthy. Tortillas and soft drink every meal.
@@noskpain2792 that’s not traditional foods it’s new from the past 100 years. Tortillas from nixtamal from your Milpa aren’t unhealthy. Premade ones are. I’m not saying every Mexican eats healthy I’m saying traditional foods more than 300/400 yrs old are healthy and some Communities still eat them. Not everyone
mexican food is the best ❤
Joe, i want everyone to be healthy. Fluffy: heaven is eating diabetic food because of the good flavor. LMAO
Joe Rogan came to Texas and found the real Fajita ..The real Mexican food 💦
They got some good stuff but Tex Mex is blasphemous
Did u hear what he said? He was making fun of fluffy for liking it more
I rather eat California Mexican food from the garbage then texmex food. Texmex just taste weird and different
💯 facts. I went to Texas and tasted Tex-mex. Not a fan. California has the best Mexican food. Specially the Central Valley.
@Killa91115 Modesto Stockton Merced is super underrated so cal got real fire too but central vallet does compete
youre gonna get the real shit, proceeds to name the big burrito 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro said "I love an authentic place" then names The Big Burrito🤣 sounds legit
Jamie pull up that video of that Grizzly ordering Menudo at the Mexican restaurant
Wtf barbacoa is literally where Americans got Barbecue from …the original sauces for barbacoa are literally the base for most barbecue
barbacoa isn't tex-mex
I'm Mexican and never tried a lengua quesadilla 😂
Your missing out, even on a burrito is so good.
@@mayrajimenez7147 I've had lengua burritos they are good. I just don't want lengua and cheese together lol.
Noticed Fluffy has no idea about real food, he probably eats junk all day😂
Him saying I prefer Tex-Mex over regular Mexican just proved how not mexican he is to me. He's never been to central mexico and tried the gastronomy and best restaurants and local faborites
TexMex Barbacoa is an Original Authentic Mexican Barbacoa that Texans add their regional ingredients/flavors too remix it to their standards. In others words is a FUSION. Just like Pizza topping changes region to region.
It says the episode is from 2001 but yet they’re talking about Covid😂
If you can get passed that first big craving for unhealthy food. You’ll be good. Same with the urge to be lazy, addiction, etc.
Ain't nothing like that Nuevo Mexico food baby
Well, tex mex IS Mexican food as well, thats why it has the Mex in it. If it were British it would be Tex Brit for that matter. Whatever Mexicans create is Mexican. Every region or area of Mexicans within Mexico and the US have their own unique cuisine and guess what, they are all Mexican, period.
Also Mexican, my mom learned from my dad mom how to cooked the way he liked, Texmex, he's from Del Rio. She's from Pico in LA. I have been moving through cycles of "authentic" - Texmex - whatever. 🖤
Barbacoa! Oh man ain't no good barbacoa up in Michigan.😢
Tex mex is more like food from el Norte (N.L, Tamps, B.C, etc) so yea I like it better than central/southern Mexico.
Joe “You can do both” …
- Fluffy “False. But I’ll listen respectfully”. 😂
Try Mexican barbacoa now that's the stuff ❤
Slow is smooth smooth is fast.
Joe is more mexican than fluffy😅
If y’all in Massachusetts the metro west area Zarape Mexican Restaurant is where it’s at 🔥
BRO!! I just went there like two nights ago xD
What a weirdo 😂 Joe asks him what kind of Tex-Mex he likes and he says barbacoa tacos.
Barbacoa is mexican. Barbacoa and Big Red is Tex-Mex.
But he said with cheese? In Mexico they don't add cheese traditionally even though that is starting to pop up here now.
@@1-hitter802 I didn’t hear with cheese. If so gross. Throwing cheese on everything is just to mask bad tasting food.
Tejanos were cooking barbacoa before they became Texans, so yes barbacoa is TexMex.
@@guerrafiiiand the Aztecs were cooking Barbacoa before the Spanish showed up so it’s Mexican not Tex mex 🤷♂️
My dad didn’t try McDonalds till he was 17 when he first came from Mexico. He use to be so skinny. Now he’s a big fella cause he loves American food 😂. It’s really bad for you, I know, but at least he doesn’t drink or smoke.
Fluffy a white Mexican 😂😂😂
Tex Mex goes hard, it’s a dying art though.
@@Pietothesky refries beans burritos with melted cheese is not art. Some tacos de tripa and de legua now that’s art
Dallas Mexican spots fire 🔥
Not the same as LA..
Actually better and I ate at both
@@junwatanabeenrolledagent1765 I never been to LA but the San Jose’s Mexican food is fantastic as well 👌🏾
LA been water down 😂
Gotta come south of San Antonio to find the best Tex Mex
I can only do two weeks of takeout/dine in at the most, after that I need home cooked meals.
I like that Joe Rogan was like you like Tex mex your gay af bro
I fucking love these two men
Fluffy definitely needs more barrio 😞🇲🇽
