I absolutely love the ‘My Subscribers Ordered…’ series! So great to get suggestions of new foods that we can try easily! Thanks so much to Beryl and friends for the great content ❤️
It’s too bad that all the people who chose your food were from Mexico City, because they wouldn’t recommend the delicious cuisine from other regions like the Mixiote, which I’m almost certain you have never tried, or the huitlacoche, which you already know and it’s a delicacy. Mexican cuisine is so diverse and exquisite that it’s considered a patrimony of the world. I’m glad you’re showing to your subscribers that Mexican food is much more than tacos, nachos and quesadillas.
I agree with Dora a lot, the dishes ARE Mexican (and the recipe was not really butchered) but Mexico is far more than just Mexico City. Mexico City for me is in a good sense a Petri dish, because of all the people from the rest of the country who find themselves there at some point of their lives.
@@barbramtz Eso es bueno saberlo, gracias por compartir. Pero yo solo usé esos dos ejemplos, porque enumerar los increíblemente deliciosos platillos de cada región sería eterno. Cómo sueño con volver a visitar Mexico para disfrutar de los Pastes de Pachuca, los guajolotes de Tulancingo, los Mixiotes de Tlaxcala, el mole de Puebla, los tamales de Oaxaca…. En fin! Amo Mexico, su gente y su cocina.
All the dishes are from diferent states in México: the Red Pozole is from Jalisco, the Chile Relleno is from Puebla, & Mole Negro is from Oaxaca. Just the Ensalada de Nopal and the Molletes are from the center of the country, and not exclusively from CDMX because those are commonly eaten also in Estado de México and Morelos. And to close, Tres Leches cake is also popular in other Latin American countries. As for your recommendations, Huitlacoche is most commonly eaten in CDMX and the Zona Metropolitana of the country because the maiz crops, tha same for the Mixiotes that are from Tlaxcala, Puebla, Hidalgo, Queretaro, Estado de México and more. Too bad you didn't investigate before saying that CDMX people don't know other states cuisine.
I truly appreciate this video! Finally someone eating REAL Mexican food and not just tacos and quesadillas! BTW that taco you made, mixing a bunch of things up - that is a real taco! ❤
I really appreciate when you mention the textures of foods! I'm very sensitive to weird textures being on the autism spectrum so it's rad to have an idea of what the texture is like before going in.
Im from Puebla, México, and i never seen beans in pozole , also we don't put avocado in it, but idk if there's other places where they serve it like that ,cause México is so huge and we have so many different foods and versions of it ... But yeah the beans in pozole feel weird to me
My family is from Guerrero and I was aghast when she said there were beans in the pozole! We always only use hominy and the usual condiments are shredded cabbage, radishes, onions, lime and oregano.
@@bernabegeneva and I think Guerrero is where the pozole originated, right?? 🤤 So those are the condiments and sides we use here too. But i saw once this show, they were in a very famous pozole place in Mexico city and they put sardines and an egg on top of it, and everyone sweared by it 🙊🤷♀️
Mexican food is always right. I am so lucky to live on the west coast where it's plentiful, fresh, and delicious. Thank you for another fantastic episode.
The chanting of “chilies Rellanos!!” Made this video! Lol can’t believe you didn’t shout “Holy Mole” when eating the mole. And tres leches cake is my favorite of all cakes!!! Last year my daughter in law got us one with glacé fruit on top for our birthday celebration(we have bdays 3 days apart). So good!!!
My husband is from Texas (I am from Pennsylvania), and the more I learn about not only Mexican-American fusion, but just true Mexican cuisine by itself, the more I love it. There's such a deep comfort with so many of the foods.

Well those dishes that you thought of are most likely Mexican but not popular in Mexico. For instance, nachos are from Mexico but they’re not popular. They are from Piedras Negras, Coahuila. And they do have nacho celebration festival there. Also, burritos are a northern Mexican thing. They have them in Sonora, Chihuahua and Sinaloa from what I have seen. They also have them throughout Mexico but they go by different names so it gets lost in translation. Chimichangas also come from Sonora but they were called Chivichangas originally.
OMG! Yes! As a Mexican I would say you got a lot of our most important & typical dishes, while Mexico has many states with many variations of each of these amazing foods, you did Justice to my culture. Thank you! Definitely try Carlota next time as a desert it is also very common, not overly sweet & has condensed milk 😉♥️
I just looked up "carlota mexican dessert" and I am definitely trying this sometime soon, if I can get my hands on some Marias cookies (or some other type of tea biscuit that isn't overly sweet - any recs?). I love lime desserts!

If you can cook, you can make posole. Its so easy. My Mom's from Oklahoma and she read a recipe in the Fresno, CA newspaper for pork posole verde. We had a leftover pork roast and she made it and it was so good! It was a staple in our house after that whenever she's make a pork roast dinner. The leftovers always ended up in posole the next day!
I am lucky enough to work as a caregiver for a Hispanic family! They feed me well! The spicy chicken tamales are the best I’ve EVER had, elote to die for, beef barbacoa, spicy brown beans with peppers, nopales, choco-flan, fruit smoothies and homemade salsas of every type!!! So good! They tell me of the heart and history that goes into those dishes and they are proud of them -as they should be!!! YUM!!
I must say the narration by Sergio & Yves was so nice, they definitely love the food they described. I was particularly excited to watch this, as I know I won’t be eating it soon, but may be only if I visit to some city with Mexican restaurant in India. Obviously I wish I visit Mexico. Looks like I am going to enjoy it, if I try, 😊
@@LazzariniSK13 reposting my comment here: have you ever considered using the cactus from prickly pears? They are apparently two different varietes of the same species. They might be common in Spain, as they are in southern Italy!
I agree with you, they look like wonderful guys! Everyone who talks so passionate about their favourite foods always get bonus points in my books 😂❤ I learned so many new Mexican dishes that I didn’t knew. My brother visited Mexico before covid, we have a tradition that he buys me a mug from every trip abroad he makes, I’m kind off a mug collector so to say, although I don’t drink coffee, I use them for soups and teas 😂 My brother gave me a mug from Chichén Itzà and a bottle of Mexican vanilla (THE BEST VANILLA I’VE EVER TASTED!!) I was so sad when I ran out of it…
We ate a lot of nopalitos growing up. We had it in everything since it grew prolific in our backyard. I can still feel the stings of the needles trying to prep them for meals. 😁
Beryl, this video made your excited eye go wild lol! I’ve been a chef for longer than I care to admit and I’ve worked with so many amazing Mexican people throughout my career. These dishes are all delicious foods that I learned about from Mexican cooks making Mexican family meals or going out to eat with them.
OMG, molletes is one of my favorite Mexican foods that non-Mexicans usually have never heard of. I'm so glad you got to try it! It's my go-to breakfast when I have pan bolillo and beans at home.
Omg yay you got to try my top 3 favorite Mexican dishes "Chile rellenos, molé, and tres leches" always love recommending them to people who want to try other dishes from my culture ❤️
Mexican cuisine is one favorite. Now I have more dishes to try. I ordered mole once and did not care for the restaurants version. I now know and plan to order it at different restaurant. Also the chorizo dish & other dishes ordered. Sorry I don't remember the names. Thanks guys for your suggestions. Of course without Beryl I would not have learned about these wonderful dishes.
Would love to see Spanish dishes to try next! 😍 I’m Spanish and Mexican and this video was really awesome to see more explored about Mexican food because there’s so much more than even what’s shared here. 🤤
I love this series and the number of times an episode had _inspired_ me to order delivery is definitely tough on my wallet . And while I do love that you are featuring members of your global community, I wonder why you don't often include at least one person living in NYC? I feel they would have more insight on which restaurants are best to order from. It's great that the food are the star of the show, but I feel like this could also be a great chance for you to highlight local ethnic spots that your audience can support. I am guessing that since it is a sponsored deal, you may not be able to do something like that, but I still think consulting a NYer would only give the series even more value.
That beer definitely goes best colder than ice with a hot hot bowl of spicy pozole on a cold winters day. Cutting through that spicy rich fatty broth with a sip of the crisp refreshing dark beer is just unmatched
I just made my first ever batch of pozole for our Independence Day this year (a week ago). It's one of the quintessential Mexican dishes and a very festive one as well, although it's the first time I see it with beans added. All your food looked delicious! The Chile relleno tastes even better when in a taco imho, and the mole is one of our most elegante dishes ever. Thank you for introducing so many people to our amazing cuisine!
I'm a Mexican living in New Zealand and when I make Red Mexican Rice I use I use 6 ingredients. Oil, Rice, Water, Chicken Stock Powder, Tomato Paste (I sometimes use even though not traditional pizza sauce cause of the extra herbs) and frozen Peas, Corn, and carrots.
My absolute favorite dish that l eat almost daily when lm in Mexico City is chilaquiles verde. I find Mexican food to be very mouth satisfying, if that's a thing. The layers of flavours and varied textures in a single dish is fabulous. Good video. I agree, everyone should try mole sauce. Amazing stuff
i think one thing that make a big difference in mexican cuisine is fresh tortillas you can NOT beat the soft, chewy texture and clean taste when they are being made fresh. yes you could make a decent meal with store bought but i hope any fan of mexican food get to try them fresh at least once so they KNOW. my grandma would make them fresh and we would eat them hot off the comal, just plain sometimes, or with a little butter and salt.
I was the person who asked for vegetarian food options in the Korean video haha. This is why you’re my favourite food content created beryl, you actually care about your audience and try to be as inclusive as possible. Mexican food looks super good, hope I get to try the authentic stuff one day❤
A note on vegetarian options. Make sure that your refried beans are not made with lard, as that is very common. Also, not all cheeses are vegetarian as they use animal rennet, which is an enzyme from an unweaned calf (lamb, kid etc.) stomach.
I love the video and the ppl suggesting food. So glad you go for authenticity. I, being a foodie from a Latin American country appreciate that. I absolutely LOVE this video ❤
Love love your show! I have to say my mother made her Napolis in a red chili sauce with tender pork delish! Oh and btw you can get soy chorizo! It’s really good!
First, I'm SO glad you got Negra Modelo! Mexican beer is so much better than Corona or Dos Equis! And also thank you for talking about how moles can be so different depending on where it comes from. Everyone just thinks, ew, chocolate sauce on meat, but it's more complex than that!
Chile Rellenos con arroz rojo y frijoles refritos is one of my favorite meals. I love the queso relleno but my mom prefers carne de res o carne de pollo. Mole is often served at weddings and one of my best friends grandmother would tell me, "Kevin, quiero mole." My response was, "you need to ask your grandson." 🤣🤣 I wish I liked pozole, but I am not a fan of hominy. Sopa de fideo or caldo de res are my favorites.
Excited to see this on my lunch break!!! Update: I want to make all of these things now!!! My maiden name is Hispanic but I didn't get all of these flavors growing up. My dad would get Chile rellenos some times when we went out. He is born and raised in Phoenix AZ so he knows where all the good Mexican food is. Can't wait to see what's next!
I had Nopalitos the first time in Mazatlán and they were combined with sautéed onions, bell peppers and eggs into a scramble. I loved them and you can find a jar on my shelf at all times.
Mole is so very complex. My fiance’s Oaxacan mother makes it very different than my aunt in Zacatecas and both are different from the type my mom makes, but basically you can think of it as Mexican curry
I'm so glad nopales were tried here. I grew up eating nopales. Preparing them from the whole cactus pad is very labor intensive, but buying it in a jar is easy! I like nopales cooked with scrambled eggs or vegan eggs. Yum!
Great selection! All very authentic dishes. Although the beans in the pozole was weird for me as someone from Baja California. I'll say that Mexican cuisine is very regional. When I think of the most authentic meal, I think of carne asada prepared family style with bowls of cabbage, meat, pico de gallo (or salsa bandera as we call it), guacamole, cucumbers, and radishes on the table for everyone to make their own tacos. I'm pretty sure all of Mexico does something similar, but the focus on beef is very much a norteño thing like how seafood is very much a costal thing.
One of the most exquisite treats I've ever had was pumpkin flower soup that the houseworker where I was staying prepared. Seven years later I still have longings for it! (I really enjoyed your video.)
In New Mexico when we make chile rellenos we use a Hatch green chile so it has more of a kick than poblano. Posole is a bit different too, as we tend to use pork, and eat it with soft flour tortillas on the side. If you’re a vegetarian you can use Soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s in place of chorizo. We’re not vegetarians, but we love version, and will add to eggs and cheese in a breakfast burrito.
This is besides the subject but I've had one of those days and seeing the husbands reminded me how this channel embraces everyone and everyone is welcome and we're a nice community of people who love food and sharing and it made me emotional okay
@@characterblub me toooooooo and not just husbands, but everyone! We've seen so many wonderful people from everywhere who present themselves in all sorts of ways, and it's so cool, and also the woman who wasn't comfortable showing her face so we only heard her, it was so neat! Everyone everyone is included I AM EMOTIONAL AGAIN 😭
@@cloverhighfive I can't even count how many times this channel has had me on the verge of tears. Every time I watch one of these I end up going 🥺 at least once
My son's mother-in-law (from El Salvador) introduced my family to Tre Leches cake. Our granddaughters love it, and I'm sure our grandson will follow grandpa's lead and eat way more than he should.
you have all sorts of props and wall decorations for each video. Yet, your place always seem super clean and organized and you're in NYC which is not known for spacious apartments. how do you keep everything so organized? it's amazing
I’m saying “mmm” with Beryl even though I’m laid up in bed with a bad back, eating animal crackers and shredded pizza cheese with a water chaser. Lol. Awesome video Beryl.
Just wanted to say...about a million things! First off, I am not a foodie and I hate to cook. I can't remember how on earth I found your channel, but I've been so hooked by how beautifully you contribute to world unity with your videos through food! I have yet to make a single dish you've tried, but have nevertheless shared elements and recipes from your videos with others and keep trying to remind myself to try one! This episode in particular was so telling because Mexican food was never explored in my household growing up, but that I'm nevertheless now intrigued to try. I also adore your segment to promoting an artist and have yet to not be intrigued by those you've picked...and having developed a silly allergy to any and all earrings, am heavily jealous of ALL of your awesome earrings! No idea if you will read this, but thought that you might like to know that someone who doesn't even super care about food personally has been so affected by your food themed channel! I was also delighted to already know how cool your name was because as a concertina player, one of my favorite albums was called "Chords and Beryls" by Edel Fox. Thanks for being as awesome as emeralds!
I'm from South Texas so many of my friends are Mexican. My one friend's mom would make traditional turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving, but would use Mexican spices and seasoning. Dear God, that was delicious!
I must find a place near me that makes chile rellenos; anything stuffed is going to be my instant favorite. I also love these videos, as they help me compile a list of things to order once I get myself in a good spot where I can order out again on a rainy day!
While I generally love probably every type of Mexican food I've tried, my all-time favorite is Guisado de Puerco, Pork Stew made with Tomatillos, etc. Absolute heaven for me!
Beryl: Every time I watch your videos and you're trying something new, I watch your right eye. Your right eye has a mind of its own, opening particularly wide whenever you try something that really hits the spot. Thought you might want to know. CME
I freaking love Chile rellenos! Not only is it one of the best things on the vegetarian side, but also it's just a delicious, comforting dish that is just... deliciouso 😋♥️
About a month ago, I got the opportunity to try out a Thai restaurant in my local neighbourhood. I’d never had Thai food but your video on that inspired me to try. Needless to say, I now have a new fave restaurant when I want a good takeaway (or UberEats cos I’m a wimp at fronting up to a place and butchering meal names). ❤
Beryl, you have not lived until you try our national dish “Chiles en Nogada”, I wrote a dm to you when you were here last time cause this is the season for that dish ! Anyway, I hope one day you do get to try it and the best Mexican dessert “Dulce de zapote”
Omg mole is my favorite ever in the world! Over some rice 🤤 my mother’s mole is a little spicy but a tiny bit sweet, my friends always ask when will she be making some and they always take some to-go containers.
I loved everything you got. Pozole is one of my must haves when it's offered on the menu. Nopales took some getting used to. It reminded me of pickled okra & I love pickled okra. Beryl!!! I've finished my tub of pork floss today😆 It took forever😆 it's so yummy so I didn't mind it
I’m with Omar ! I love his choices…they are my favorites too. I’m from Santa Fe, New Mexico . Every time I go home my first stop is at The Range Cafe to get my Blue Corn Chile Rellenos! The best in the world. Plus my favorite beer is Negra Modelo
Hi Beryl, I love how you describe all the different foods that you are trying from all over the world! And you are such a good sport at trying all kinds of foods, I too love to try different kinds of foods from all over 😋💕
Beryl--you blew on the tres leches cake, which cracked me up because it wasn't hot at all :) Also--I LOVE the wooden spoons so use them! I ordered some after you linked it in one of your videos & now it's all we use, lol.
Tres leches rules! I could seriously eat it at every meal. I love your channel, and also, having once been a bench jeweler, I love your name, as well. I think I’ve watched three or four of your videos and I’ve enjoyed them all. Have you done one on Thai cuisine? f you haven’t, I for one, would love it if you would. Best wishes, don’t curb your enthusiasm. ✌️
I have that cactus growing in my back yard .. but I’ve never taken the time to prepare it.. I understand you have to really boil it well to get rid of the slimy part that happen with it.. However, I have had friends over who have picked it for themselves and enjoy it.. especially when new young leafs? or those round sections have grown .. I also have prickly pears and those are delicious.. you have to use a leather glove and roll them in the sand to remove the very fine stickers on them.
I grew up in a west Texas town with a Mexican restaurant on every other corner (some Tex-Mex, but a lot of traditional), and so much here reminds me of there. I think this is the first vid I have thorough enough knowledge to bring up memories rather than just entice trying new stuff. Chile rellenos were my go to as a kid. Now it's anything with mole. Couldn't get over the texture of nopales when I was younger, but they're a great addition to many dishes now. In college, I got hooked on a little local taqueria's carne guisada, though gout keeps me from having any now, along with keeping me away from the shrimp dishes I never got to try. Those camarones en mole look awesome. Negro Modelo is my go to for Mexican beer, and tres leches is indeed the best Mexican dessert. Lots of great choices in this one, and lots more to check out with Mexican cuisine.
I am not Mexican but I love the country and I have friends over there, a couple of months ago I went to the city and my moms friend made pozole rojo for me. Hands down the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.
I was hoping to see some food a little less familiar to me but I guess I can't expect that from Mexican restaurants in the US. I was very happy to see some of my favorite dishes however. Pozole/posole! One of my favorite soups but the top for me is caldo de rez. Chile Relleno!! Most of my Mexican friends don't care for it but I could eat it any time. It's also great wrapped in a tortilla and eaten like a burrito! And in case you didn't know, the "breading" is mostly whipped eggs. And Negra Modelo!!! I haven't had one in ages, more frequently drinking Modelo Especial simply because more restaurants have it. And Tres Leche!!!! Always a winner when I make it for friends. I usually swap some of the milk with alcohol (rum, Bailey's, Rumchata, etc.).
My friend made my husband and I a Tres Leches for our anniversary a couple weeks ago and even though I cant eat dairy, it was delicious and totally worth the discomfort. I'm pretty lucky to have an Ensenadan pastry chef as a friend.
I thought about signing up for this but I was having bad acne that week. 😭 Thankfully my fellow Mexicans came thru with the solid recs!! Leave it to the capitoleños though to call hominy a word I've never heard before. 😅 btw Beryl if you were looking for pozole during the week, that's probably why you had no luck. restaurants usually reserve making it for the weekends, and especially in the morning cuz it sells out quick!

beans with peppers, nopales, choco-flan, fruit smoothies and homemade salsas of every type!!! So good! They tell me of the heart and history that goes into those dishes and they are proud of them -as they should be!!! YUM!!
Lucky you!!
Choco-flan!
As a Mexican woman I approve this video and choices of dishes, It was a mouth watering video 😊 🇲🇽
I agree… it led me to make some molletes to start the day
I must say the narration by Sergio & Yves was so nice, they definitely love the food they described. I was particularly excited to watch this, as I know I won’t be eating it soon, but may be only if I visit to some city with Mexican restaurant in India. Obviously I wish I visit Mexico. Looks like I am going to enjoy it, if I try, 😊
Thanks so much for this comment! I swear you made my day!
@@LazzariniSK13 reposting my comment here: have you ever considered using the cactus from prickly pears? They are apparently two different varietes of the same species. They might be common in Spain, as they are in southern Italy!
I agree with you, they look like wonderful guys! Everyone who talks so passionate about their favourite foods always get bonus points in my books 😂❤ I learned so many new Mexican dishes that I didn’t knew. My brother visited Mexico before covid, we have a tradition that he buys me a mug from every trip abroad he makes, I’m kind off a mug collector so to say, although I don’t drink coffee, I use them for soups and teas 😂 My brother gave me a mug from Chichén Itzà and a bottle of Mexican vanilla (THE BEST VANILLA I’VE EVER TASTED!!) I was so sad when I ran out of it…
@@eleonorazampilli245 I will try to look for that! Sure we can try that and would be great for us as a substitute for dishes!
@@biendereviere omg my mom also collects mugs from around the world!! She has that big collection and I love seeing all different places.
We ate a lot of nopalitos growing up. We had it in everything since it grew prolific in our backyard. I can still feel the stings of the needles trying to prep them for meals. 😁
They are really good grilled!
Beryl, this video made your excited eye go wild lol! I’ve been a chef for longer than I care to admit and I’ve worked with so many amazing Mexican people throughout my career. These dishes are all delicious foods that I learned about from Mexican cooks making Mexican family meals or going out to eat with them.
OMG, molletes is one of my favorite Mexican foods that non-Mexicans usually have never heard of. I'm so glad you got to try it! It's my go-to breakfast when I have pan bolillo and beans at home.
To be fair I've never heard of them and I'm Mexican. My mother never made them.
My favorite breakfast is chilaquiles verde.
It looks delicious! I’ve never seen it on a menu!
@@queerios9925 los venden en casi cualquier restaurante de desayunos

Omg yay you got to try my top 3 favorite Mexican dishes "Chile rellenos, molé, and tres leches" always love recommending them to people who want to try other dishes from my culture ❤️
Omar: "Food not only keeps me alive, but willing to live" LOL such a mood! As a fellow foodie, I concur!
Mexican cuisine is one favorite. Now I have more dishes to try. I ordered mole once and did not care for the restaurants version. I now know and plan to order it at different restaurant. Also the chorizo dish & other dishes ordered. Sorry I don't remember the names. Thanks guys for your suggestions. Of course without Beryl I would not have learned about these wonderful dishes.
A lot of terrible news out in the world today, but Beryl videos are a bright spot
I was eating molletes (without chorizo) while watching this and I still left hungry and craving 🥺 that tres leches cake looks BOMB
Would love to see Spanish dishes to try next! 😍 I’m Spanish and Mexican and this video was really awesome to see more explored about Mexican food because there’s so much more than even what’s shared here. 🤤
I love this series and the number of times an episode had _inspired_ me to order delivery is definitely tough on my wallet . And while I do love that you are featuring members of your global community, I wonder why you don't often include at least one person living in NYC? I feel they would have more insight on which restaurants are best to order from. It's great that the food are the star of the show, but I feel like this could also be a great chance for you to highlight local ethnic spots that your audience can support. I am guessing that since it is a sponsored deal, you may not be able to do something like that, but I still think consulting a NYer would only give the series even more value.
That beer definitely goes best colder than ice with a hot hot bowl of spicy pozole on a cold winters day. Cutting through that spicy rich fatty broth with a sip of the crisp refreshing dark beer is just unmatched
I just made my first ever batch of pozole for our Independence Day this year (a week ago). It's one of the quintessential Mexican dishes and a very festive one as well, although it's the first time I see it with beans added. All your food looked delicious! The Chile relleno tastes even better when in a taco imho, and the mole is one of our most elegante dishes ever. Thank you for introducing so many people to our amazing cuisine!
I'm a Mexican living in New Zealand and when I make Red Mexican Rice I use I use 6 ingredients. Oil, Rice, Water, Chicken Stock Powder, Tomato Paste (I sometimes use even though not traditional pizza sauce cause of the extra herbs) and frozen Peas, Corn, and carrots.
My absolute favorite dish that l eat almost daily when lm in Mexico City is chilaquiles verde.
I find Mexican food to be very mouth satisfying, if that's a thing. The layers of flavours and varied textures in a single dish is fabulous. Good video. I agree, everyone should try mole sauce. Amazing stuff
I love her attitude..lets eat..lol. Her expressions are just a joy to watch...adventurous, willing and a honest opinion. Keep up the good work !!!!
I really like that you plate the carry out food and that you put “flair” on it, we can really enjoy the food more.
Beryl you're just such a character. I love watching your videos!
i think one thing that make a big difference in mexican cuisine is fresh tortillas you can NOT beat the soft, chewy texture and clean taste when they are being made fresh. yes you could make a decent meal with store bought but i hope any fan of mexican food get to try them fresh at least once so they KNOW. my grandma would make them fresh and we would eat them hot off the comal, just plain sometimes, or with a little butter and salt.
I was the person who asked for vegetarian food options in the Korean video haha. This is why you’re my favourite food content created beryl, you actually care about your audience and try to be as inclusive as possible. Mexican food looks super good, hope I get to try the authentic stuff one day❤
Beryl, I so enjoy your enthusiasm and enjoyment with each dish you try! You bring us all with you. Thank YOU! You are so cute and fun!!
OMG people do not hype up chile rellenos enough! I'm pregnant right now and it is allllll I crave, especially my mom's!
A note on vegetarian options. Make sure that your refried beans are not made with lard, as that is very common. Also, not all cheeses are vegetarian as they use animal rennet, which is an enzyme from an unweaned calf (lamb, kid etc.) stomach.
I love the video and the ppl suggesting food. So glad you go for authenticity. I, being a foodie from a Latin American country appreciate that. I absolutely LOVE this video ❤
Love love your show! I have to say my mother made her Napolis in a red chili sauce with tender pork delish! Oh and btw you can get soy chorizo! It’s really good!
First, I'm SO glad you got Negra Modelo! Mexican beer is so much better than Corona or Dos Equis! And also thank you for talking about how moles can be so different depending on where it comes from. Everyone just thinks, ew, chocolate sauce on meat, but it's more complex than that!
Chile Rellenos con arroz rojo y frijoles refritos is one of my favorite meals. I love the queso relleno but my mom prefers carne de res o carne de pollo. Mole is often served at weddings and one of my best friends grandmother would tell me, "Kevin, quiero mole." My response was, "you need to ask your grandson." 🤣🤣 I wish I liked pozole, but I am not a fan of hominy. Sopa de fideo or caldo de res are my favorites.
PLEASE do Brazilian food next!!! OOOOOH I would love to order some comida for you!!
Excited to see this on my lunch break!!! Update: I want to make all of these things now!!! My maiden name is Hispanic but I didn't get all of these flavors growing up. My dad would get Chile rellenos some times when we went out. He is born and raised in Phoenix AZ so he knows where all the good Mexican food is. Can't wait to see what's next!
Oh man… I love Mexican food and adore every one of the dishes that were mentioned! I had a pumpkin molé at Red Iguana in SLC that I still dream about.
I had Nopalitos the first time in Mazatlán and they were combined with sautéed onions, bell peppers and eggs into a scramble. I loved them and you can find a jar on my shelf at all times.
Actually there is Roman lettuce in Mexico. The Caesar salad was created/originated in Tijuana, Mexico.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Mole is so very complex. My fiance’s Oaxacan mother makes it very different than my aunt in Zacatecas and both are different from the type my mom makes, but basically you can think of it as Mexican curry
I'm so glad nopales were tried here. I grew up eating nopales. Preparing them from the whole cactus pad is very labor intensive, but buying it in a jar is easy! I like nopales cooked with scrambled eggs or vegan eggs. Yum!
Great selection! All very authentic dishes. Although the beans in the pozole was weird for me as someone from Baja California.
I'll say that Mexican cuisine is very regional. When I think of the most authentic meal, I think of carne asada prepared family style with bowls of cabbage, meat, pico de gallo (or salsa bandera as we call it), guacamole, cucumbers, and radishes on the table for everyone to make their own tacos. I'm pretty sure all of Mexico does something similar, but the focus on beef is very much a norteño thing like how seafood is very much a costal thing.
One of the most exquisite treats I've ever had was pumpkin flower soup that the houseworker where I was staying prepared. Seven years later I still have longings for it! (I really enjoyed your video.)
In New Mexico when we make chile rellenos we use a Hatch green chile so it has more of a kick than poblano. Posole is a bit different too, as we tend to use pork, and eat it with soft flour tortillas on the side.
If you’re a vegetarian you can use Soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s in place of chorizo. We’re not vegetarians, but we love version, and will add to eggs and cheese in a breakfast burrito.
Frida's Soyrizo is really good too! My sister and I love frying it with extra onions and peppers and mixing it with spinach.
Whoever does the plating is doing an excellent job! 🎉
This is besides the subject but I've had one of those days and seeing the husbands reminded me how this channel embraces everyone and everyone is welcome and we're a nice community of people who love food and sharing and it made me emotional okay
I cried I can't even lie 😭🥺 casual inclusion just gets me every time
@@characterblub me toooooooo and not just husbands, but everyone! We've seen so many wonderful people from everywhere who present themselves in all sorts of ways, and it's so cool, and also the woman who wasn't comfortable showing her face so we only heard her, it was so neat! Everyone everyone is included I AM EMOTIONAL AGAIN 😭
@@cloverhighfive I can't even count how many times this channel has had me on the verge of tears. Every time I watch one of these I end up going 🥺 at least once
I love watching your videos. You're such a wholesome and inspiring content creator. Always a fan
My son's mother-in-law (from El Salvador) introduced my family to Tre Leches cake. Our granddaughters love it, and I'm sure our grandson will follow grandpa's lead and eat way more than he should.
We do eat lots of romaine lettuce in Mexico. Not just for salads, we also have it as a taco topping and for other dishes.
I'm so happy to see you thriving. I watched you when you were new and then fell off. Great job with your channel.
You can also make it Vegan by using Soyrizo and vegan cotija/queso fresco! ❤
where can you get vegan cotija and queso fresco?? 👀 asking for my white boyfriend who's lactose intolerant 😭
you have all sorts of props and wall decorations for each video. Yet, your place always seem super clean and organized and you're in NYC which is not known for spacious apartments. how do you keep everything so organized? it's amazing
I’m saying “mmm” with Beryl even though I’m laid up in bed with a bad back, eating animal crackers and shredded pizza cheese with a water chaser. Lol.
Awesome video Beryl.
I really love the discovery tour that this series brings.
Just wanted to say...about a million things! First off, I am not a foodie and I hate to cook. I can't remember how on earth I found your channel, but I've been so hooked by how beautifully you contribute to world unity with your videos through food! I have yet to make a single dish you've tried, but have nevertheless shared elements and recipes from your videos with others and keep trying to remind myself to try one! This episode in particular was so telling because Mexican food was never explored in my household growing up, but that I'm nevertheless now intrigued to try. I also adore your segment to promoting an artist and have yet to not be intrigued by those you've picked...and having developed a silly allergy to any and all earrings, am heavily jealous of ALL of your awesome earrings! No idea if you will read this, but thought that you might like to know that someone who doesn't even super care about food personally has been so affected by your food themed channel! I was also delighted to already know how cool your name was because as a concertina player, one of my favorite albums was called "Chords and Beryls" by Edel Fox. Thanks for being as awesome as emeralds!
I really enjoy your channel, food obviously brings you great joy.
These are the best. Please don’t ever stop doing these.
I'm from South Texas so many of my friends are Mexican. My one friend's mom would make traditional turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving, but would use Mexican spices and seasoning. Dear God, that was delicious!
I must find a place near me that makes chile rellenos; anything stuffed is going to be my instant favorite. I also love these videos, as they help me compile a list of things to order once I get myself in a good spot where I can order out again on a rainy day!
Love whenever Mexican food is featured!
Great vid, thrown off my the beans in the pozole though.
While I generally love probably every type of Mexican food I've tried, my all-time favorite is Guisado de Puerco, Pork Stew made with Tomatillos, etc. Absolute heaven for me!
Beryl: Every time I watch your videos and you're trying something new, I watch your right eye. Your right eye has a mind of its own, opening particularly wide whenever you try something that really hits the spot. Thought you might want to know. CME
This is an amazing series. I love it!
Beryl...I LOVE YOUR JOY! I feel like trying any food you love. I am so happy I subscribed to this channel. Beryl Energy. Love it.
I freaking love Chile rellenos! Not only is it one of the best things on the vegetarian side, but also it's just a delicious, comforting dish that is just... deliciouso 😋♥️
About a month ago, I got the opportunity to try out a Thai restaurant in my local neighbourhood. I’d never had Thai food but your video on that inspired me to try. Needless to say, I now have a new fave restaurant when I want a good takeaway (or UberEats cos I’m a wimp at fronting up to a place and butchering meal names). ❤
It depends on the poblano. Some are mild some can be hot all from the same plant.
Totally agree about tres leches 🍰 As a fellow savory foods lover, it is the one dessert that is a very special exception
Beryl, you have not lived until you try our national dish “Chiles en Nogada”, I wrote a dm to you when you were here last time cause this is the season for that dish ! Anyway, I hope one day you do get to try it and the best Mexican dessert “Dulce de zapote”
@Beryl Shereshewsky you really should seek out Chilies en Nogada. 🤯 A life changing Chili relleno...
Omg mole is my favorite ever in the world! Over some rice 🤤 my mother’s mole is a little spicy but a tiny bit sweet, my friends always ask when will she be making some and they always take some to-go containers.
I loved everything you got. Pozole is one of my must haves when it's offered on the menu. Nopales took some getting used to. It reminded me of pickled okra & I love pickled okra.
Beryl!!! I've finished my tub of pork floss today😆 It took forever😆 it's so yummy so I didn't mind it
We do have Romaine in Merida. It's hydroponically grown in purified water, so no worries about eating it. Every store I've been in carries it.
I’m with Omar ! I love his choices…they are my favorites too. I’m from Santa Fe, New Mexico . Every time I go home my first stop is at The Range Cafe to get my Blue Corn Chile Rellenos! The best in the world. Plus my favorite beer is Negra Modelo
Hi Beryl, I love how you describe all the different foods that you are trying from all over the world!
And you are such a good sport at trying all kinds of foods, I too love to try different kinds of foods from all over 😋💕
Beryl--you blew on the tres leches cake, which cracked me up because it wasn't hot at all :) Also--I LOVE the wooden spoons so use them! I ordered some after you linked it in one of your videos & now it's all we use, lol.
Tres leches rules! I could seriously eat it at every meal. I love your channel, and also, having once been a bench jeweler, I love your name, as well. I think I’ve watched three or four of your videos and I’ve enjoyed them all. Have you done one on Thai cuisine? f you haven’t, I for one, would love it if you would. Best wishes, don’t curb your enthusiasm. ✌️
One of my favorite cakes is Cuatro Leches Cake, which adds whole milk, with toasted marshmallow on top.
I have that cactus growing in my back yard .. but I’ve never taken the time to prepare it.. I understand you have to really boil it well to get rid of the slimy part that happen with it.. However, I have had friends over who have picked it for themselves and enjoy it.. especially when new young leafs? or those round sections have grown .. I also have prickly pears and those are delicious.. you have to use a leather glove and roll them in the sand to remove the very fine stickers on them.
The "Ceasar Salad" was introduced to the world at a restaurant in Mexico. Tons of romaine is grown in the Texas/Mexico Rio Grande Valley.
In Tiajuana Mexico Cesar Salade was born
@@colinchampollion4420 ~ EXACTLY! So see why I am always perplexed when people think a lettuce salad is not Mexican!
Definitely like this setup for this series. Everything looks so delicious.
I grew up in a west Texas town with a Mexican restaurant on every other corner (some Tex-Mex, but a lot of traditional), and so much here reminds me of there. I think this is the first vid I have thorough enough knowledge to bring up memories rather than just entice trying new stuff.
Chile rellenos were my go to as a kid. Now it's anything with mole. Couldn't get over the texture of nopales when I was younger, but they're a great addition to many dishes now. In college, I got hooked on a little local taqueria's carne guisada, though gout keeps me from having any now, along with keeping me away from the shrimp dishes I never got to try. Those camarones en mole look awesome. Negro Modelo is my go to for Mexican beer, and tres leches is indeed the best Mexican dessert.
Lots of great choices in this one, and lots more to check out with Mexican cuisine.
I love the nopales con bistec de res at my local taqueria here in Texas. So good!
I love all your videos, but specially this one cuz reminded me of my country 🇲🇽
I am not Mexican but I love the country and I have friends over there, a couple of months ago I went to the city and my moms friend made pozole rojo for me. Hands down the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten in my life.
Pozole was o r ginally made with human flesh in ancient times😂🎉!
I was hoping to see some food a little less familiar to me but I guess I can't expect that from Mexican restaurants in the US. I was very happy to see some of my favorite dishes however. Pozole/posole! One of my favorite soups but the top for me is caldo de rez. Chile Relleno!! Most of my Mexican friends don't care for it but I could eat it any time. It's also great wrapped in a tortilla and eaten like a burrito! And in case you didn't know, the "breading" is mostly whipped eggs. And Negra Modelo!!! I haven't had one in ages, more frequently drinking Modelo Especial simply because more restaurants have it. And Tres Leche!!!! Always a winner when I make it for friends. I usually swap some of the milk with alcohol (rum, Bailey's, Rumchata, etc.).
My friend made my husband and I a Tres Leches for our anniversary a couple weeks ago and even though I cant eat dairy, it was delicious and totally worth the discomfort. I'm pretty lucky to have an Ensenadan pastry chef as a friend.
I thought about signing up for this but I was having bad acne that week. 😭 Thankfully my fellow Mexicans came thru with the solid recs!! Leave it to the capitoleños though to call hominy a word I've never heard before. 😅
btw Beryl if you were looking for pozole during the week, that's probably why you had no luck. restaurants usually reserve making it for the weekends, and especially in the morning cuz it sells out quick!
