I Love these guys. The true embodiment of the American spirit! Obviously, their father was a huge role model for them like my Mexican father-RIP. Buena Suerte!
Their father worked as a driver and couple years later the sons bought it, a Mexican kids dream to do for their parents. I hope they keep going strong! When I go this Saturday to visit New York I’ll make sure to buy their products !
As someone who grew up in Bushwick and in the Tortillerias with my dad I'm glad to see my cousins not just thrive but grow and prosper. Blessing always and shout out to Don Pepe because without him taking his risk with the quesos they wouldn't be there today.🇲🇽Piaxtla!
@psalm and what's wrong to be proud of your roots ??? Is who you are at the end of the day like YOURSELF if you aren't indigenous to this country your roots will be from another country or even continent and you should be proud because your ancestors DNA runs thru you even if you born in China.
Mad respect for these brothers! I too own and run a small business and seeing these guys warms my heart when the Walmarts and Amazons of the world just want to run you out of business.
bkLEGION3000 monopolization of small businesses is one of the saddest things happening to the world. with soon coming automation i’m somewhat worried but realize it’s inevitable...
I really loved this. I'm an Arizonan born and raised. I love authentic Mexican food. Almost all my friends are part Mexican, My brother-in-law is Mexican. I actually feel sorry for the rest of the U.S. because they have no idea what Mexican food is.
Ah the Mexican culture is so chill and friendly. Walk into a Mexican business and you instantly get the homely vibe, also great food. I'll leave you with the lyrics of a classic Mexican work moral song. "All week long, Boss-man say, Work Mexican work Sing your song, earn your pay Work Mexican work Work, Mexican Sweat, Mexican Toil, Mexican It's your lot in life While people play in the sun all day Work Mexican work"
Bushwick Houses....my old stompin grounds. Glad they're able to keep operations in Bushwick still. I'm sure it's tough. $$$ SO SO happy for these 2 brothers. Bet on Brooklyn. Love it. ✌️
so extremely proud of mi gente! to see them become successful & own the business where their Dad started when he came to the US is inspiring. also the fact that 4 women are in charge of packing for a high demand product is astonishing!
Ferox M What an idiot if anything people live a lot longer and more peaceful in Mexico it’s a much more simple way of living stress free keep believing everything you see on social media and tv sheep!
Great story! Two brothers Working hard, buying the business the dad use to work for and making it successful as well as looking after the workers and their people! Great story wish them all the best!
Love Mexican food lol workers look happy and business looks like its pumping out the work. Family business looks tight. RESPECT!!!!! Nothing but the best for use. Brother from New Zealand showing some Love❤🤙
I love seeing buisnesses and how they start. I'm currently have a lawncare company that I started when I was 13, I'm almost 17 now and still going at it. Sometimes it seems easier to just go out and get a normal job but things like this are inspiring
It’s seem like you guys achieved the best dream together, and what a tough move, ur father there from a driver to been a boss is amazing feeling. God bless you both.
Rick Martinez from Bon Appetit. You may talk a lot of smack about machine made tortillas but this is what a real American made tortilla is like. Fresh, custom made to a chef's specifications, and from a company run by professionals.
Exactly, this is how it is made, no different than with store bought maseca from the supermarket, except it has time to sour for a day or two on the plastic. It's like using canned tuna for sushi, sure it works, but it tastes very bad compared to real fresh ground corn. The problem with tortillas is scale, you can't really scale, so fresh nixtamal you will only find in mom and pop tortillerias or restaurants, which mostly don't exist in the US, or they used processed flour like this place. Even grabbing the tortillas fresh of the machine will be very inferior to fresh ground.
Barrios need a QC manager because all I see are a bunch of people handling fresh tortillas with no gloves and wearing rings, I'm like wtf they get health inspector in their and they'll get shut down faster than a taco gets soggy. not to mention the way they move fresh produce with other products that shouldn't be close in the vicinity.
These guys inspire me to go all the way and push myself to the max never give up never surrender...thnx for the boost in confidence mi barrio from Brooklyn....stay up brothers!!
In 1964 Our family took a 2 month trip and went to New York for the worlds fair and we brought a couple dozen packages of tortillias with us because none of our relatives back there had ever tried mexican food of any type. We introduced them to tacos, enchiladas, chile verde, chile colorado, etc... The hot sauce was too much heat for their palates,. It was not their favorite type of food, but they enjoyed tasting the food that we ate on a regular basis in California. They had never even seen a tortilla before the ones we brought with us.
Jarritos is nectar of the gods. There aren't many great places to get tacos in D.C. But when I find Jarritos, it reminds me of growing up in California with my Mexican American family.
This video gave me the inspiration of one day owning my own business; its a hustle, but if they're able to find away i can too. Gotta start small and build.
No it isnt, but it should. Clean hands and proper cooking of the tortillas out in the field should make them plenty safe. And I doubt they would be in buisness if everyone who ate one of their tortillas got the runs.... But enough of me ranting on the internet. Im making tacos right now
Completely normal. This is normal food for people with completly normal inmune systems. Bubble child should stay in their bubbles and eat from cans and tetra-bricks their pasteurized garbage
There's actually a large number of kitchen tasks that bare hands are better suited for, which is why constantly washing your hands is so important. I do understand where you're coming from though, human hands are fucking disgusting.
ive been eating their products for basically my whole life so its so nice to see their story, thanks for showing the mexican struggle in brooklyn on such a big channel!
Deisy Sanchez yes its not the best choice! But. I rather drink Mexico 🇲🇽 coke then the ones in the state lol 😂 and yea water is life but 1 every once in awhile wont kill you!
People need to see how eg. their coffee is harvested, processed, and packaged. If you think dirty hands are an issue, you really don't understand how food (or germs) work...

Watching this leaves me with a nostalgic vibe. Like a wish I was there making a living, running a business, instead of being a nobody here. But it's a million times easier said than done.

Rolling in and buying up the company your dad used to drive trucks for is one of the most baller moves I've ever heard of.

Same thing I was thinking. Their family is the living embodiment of the American dream. Very inspirational video
how can you not watch this and be proud of this family!? awesome job fellas!!!!
My old stomping grounds how beautiful to see my people being successful 💯 🇲🇽 many blessings to you Nelson and Miguel Carrera
Wow. These guys saw a successful business that was failing, strengthened it's weak points and just truly respected it's employees. Inspirational.
Went to jr and high school with Miguel. Proud of him and his hard work.
That's the sort of comment that makes youtube worthwhile.
I'm Dominican ...Made me very Proud to see brothers doing so good and great... Que Viva Mexico
He had to add "that's legal" at the end of the sentence. LOL
which probably means that they do illegal too, probably bring in pejote along with the tortillas
Cydonius1 You're such a Debby downer bob
i lived across the street from this place; right next to the cheese factory! awesome to see the old hood and what went on inside
Doesn't the early morning beeping trucks wake you up? I was wondering who would live across the street there.
@@GFkilla17 it did! our bedroom was facing the street; part of the reason we only lived there a year and a half.
Please be nice to them and ask them to use gloves when touching the tortillas. I worked in one in Texas and the City makes you were them.

Bushwick Houses....my old stompin grounds. Glad they're able to keep operations in Bushwick still. I'm sure it's tough. $$$ SO SO happy for these 2 brothers. Bet on Brooklyn. Love it. ✌️
I love videos like this bc it shows the type of community that still lives the old culture and shed a light to what was and still is today
Oh man! This is the tortilla shop from Babish's everything burrito special!
As soon as I saw the coolers in the front room I thought the same.
so extremely proud of mi gente! to see them become successful & own the business where their Dad started when he came to the US is inspiring. also the fact that 4 women are in charge of packing for a high demand product is astonishing!
Packing by hand, without gloves. That seems FDA approved...
I really admire what those two guys are doing for family and community.
I don't want this series to ever go away again
I bet this guy can make a killer quesadilla..
Much respect. Love what you guys are doing. And I'm definitely gonna start buying these tortillas. All the way from Baltimore. 1 love
Love seeing my fellow Latinos prosper. Both of them are very handsome ;)

can u post a link where I could buy them tortillas?
Near Hispanic store
Depends on where you live, I've not seen that brand of tortilla in any of the stores I go to.
Hispanic store but that brand sucks tbh
I love my BUSHWICK, LOVE THEIR tacos, I've been going and pass by as a kid 32 years ago...
