SPICY Mexican Food Tour! Backyard Tacos + LUXE Seafood | Heat Eaters
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 май 2024
- Get ready for the SPICIEST Mexican food tour! In this episode of Heat Eaters, Esther Choi teams up with acclaimed taco scholar Bill Esparza for a tongue-sizzling journey in Los Angeles, unearthing the vibrant, chili-infused cuisines of Sinaloa, Oaxaca, and the Yucatan regions of Mexico.
First stop is Del Mar Ostioneria, an unassuming food truck that serves incredible chili-laced aguachiles and ceviche from Sinaloa, with top-quality marsicos that you'd expect to find at Nobu. Next, they meet up with the Oaxacan Queen herself, Bricia Lopez, to try a rare, hyper-regional spicy mole from Candelaria Lopez, who drove from Santa Maria Valley to whip up a special feast. To cap it all off, Esther and Bill head to a backyard taco pop-up, Ek Balam, to sample spicy cochinita pibil tacos and - as is customary in the Yucatan - chase them down with raw habaneros!
Mexican cuisine has over 60 varieties of fresh and dried chilies, and Bill's deep-dive into the history will make you appreciate how these fiery jewels have influenced one of the world's greatest cuisines. Now, let's dig in!

I am loving the Heat Eaters series. I hope this becomes a long running series and not just a few episodes.
Auntie ester needs to get her friend to co-host and fuyuuu
I literally was about to post this, but here we are at the #1 comment. YES.
I just want to say how much I've been enjoying this series. Esther was a joy on Iron Chef and her sincere love of food really comes through on this series too.
Auntie Esther is amazing as always! Fuiyoh!!!
Esther also did the Kitchen Gadget Test Show on the Eater YT channel. It's a little out of date now, but she was great.
Yes! I love Esther she's so perfect for this channel and fits right in
I like her too. She is great.
I too
Long live Mexican cuisine! 🇲🇽
Literally the best in the world. Mexico has giving us some of the world's greatest ( award-winning ) chefs.
Esther is amazing! Love her energy!
Fr he’s so cool !
I'm liking Bricia's energy. Very well spoken. 💪
uncle roger likes it the most
quite the opposite, what a recoiling energy, maybe she is just shy, I hope it's shyness
First We Feast, you are winning with this series and Esther Choi, she is such a great resource and chef, and these deep dives into spice and heat have been wonderful to learn from.
I love that Bill went over the importance of chiles in Mexican cuisine and and how the indigenous tribes of Mexico really helped in cultivating almost all the varieties of spicy peppers we know today their great gastronomical gift ( or pica al pendejo 🥵) to the world. And there are not just fresh varieties but their dried counterparts. Now because of them we have like 80% of First We Feast content hahaha. No one does spicy like Mexico.
I really love how Esther tries to say Chiltepín and her Korean accent comes out when she pronounces Chil ”칠“ I thought it was really cute
This is so amazing. Esther is so respectful of the culture and the food and doesn't see stuff from an americanized way. Honestly great show.
Sea of Cortes's marisco is top tier, Sinaloa is a great example. Oaxaca's moles are unmatched. Yucatán's food is truly one of kind.
This is best new show from first we feast. I adore Esther! And the back history from the birds popping out the seeds from peppers, my mind was blown. Best episode yet!!
Esther is getting to be a very close contender for my favorite First We Feast show.
Awesomeness!
So happy to see Mexican culture and food represented! They have so much spice in their food ❤
peppered crickets, ants... explore the world's foods! 👍❤️🌶
As over priced as much of it has become, still definitely decent.
@@windblownmccoy2908 food everywhere is over priced now. Literally everything on the planet is over priced now.
I absolutely love the way the real-real LA is being represented here. Makes me thankful that this is how I grew up. ❤❤❤❤
Mexican cuisine is extremely unique when it comes to peppers because it really is about the "flavor" vs the spice heat when compared to other regions of the world. There is no comparison whatsoever. This is a place where a true pepper coneseour experiences Eutopia! There is much more to peppers than just the heat. The flavor is what makes it unique 👍👌✌
Uncle roger correct.
Auntie Esther is an amazing person that can definitely take the heat of the eat.
SoCal represent...bringing the Yucatan into a cuisine experience across all of the regions. Fresh and addicting. Thank you for sharing.
She's great! Loving this series.
As someone who once worked with a completely Mexican kitchen staff, I don't remember my head colds lasting very long while working there 😂🥵
🤣🤣Auntie Esther....Great experience travelling the spicy parts of Mexico
That’s actually only the tip of the iceberg 👀
The thing the other host mentioned about the idea of having “Mexican” food when Mexico is 32 states is always something that I have said, my parents come from Jalisco and I really appreciate our cuisine (birria is originally from Jalisco) and I also like acknowledging that other places in Mexico have their specialty like seafood from Sinaloa, carnitas from Michoacán etc which is why I never really to go to a place which advertises itself as “Mexican” food and I’ll go to a place that specifically specializes in a certain dish
Just alone in el DF you can travel one hour in any direction and food will be different. Each state has so much to offer, yet in the US tacos is all they can think of when talking about Mexican food.
That's true for almost every country tbf. The regional variety is never represented in another country.
🌮
@@nobytes2 Food in el DF isnt diverse though, they stuff anything in a torta or tortilla and call it something weird and boom a new "dish" is born. Plus they have weird creations out there like torta de taco, literally a taco inside a torta smh or torta de tamal. For real diverse cuisine you have Yucatan, Campeche, Tabasco and Veracruz, literally every dish is different and doesn't contain mostly tortilla like the cuisine of Oaxaca for example (another state I don't find diverse either, everything has to have a tortilla in it)
That mole looked insane. Such an awesome video!
The chili peppers as you know them today came from Mexico. That’s where they were all cultivated. Same as tomatoes (red and green). The yellow tomato was the one that came from South America (inedible). Red and green tomatoes (edible) were first cultivated in Mexico.
Mexico isn't the only country where spice is a part of all it's cooking, I would like to throw Thailand into the mix thank you very much. My Mexican gf and I say that Mexico and Thailand are* estranged siblings since there are a lot of ingredients we love using in each of our cuisines lol
True, im Mexican and I love Thai food, very similar to Mexican cuisine, I don't know how there arent any Thai/Mexican fusion restaurants, it would work out very well
I'm glad that you said. I wouldn't have been so kind. That was a well-meaning, but wholly ignorant hot take on his part. My wife is Thai and she feels the same way about Mexican and Thai food so there's something to this.
@@FlatulentWhale thais and Mexicans love tamarind, limes, cilantro, Chiles etc lol. It's great seeing something like food being a connection for people.
It’s not the same, yes Thai use a lot of chilies but Mexican cuisine literally has it on everything. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, sweets, candy, ice cream.
Mexico has dozens of chilies used for different types of tastes and preparations. Thai use mainly 4,5 peppers. Not trying to deny what you said but this is what the guy meant, no other country uses chilies quite as much as Mexico does, and it’s not necessarily just about spice.
@@dragonxdvzz it doesn't literally have it on everything, I know that for both Thai and Mexican cuisine, I kinda use all in replacement of a lot, but I use it because there is chile in the general consensus of dishes and I didn't think I needed to explain the little detail of that. There isn't chile in dulce de leche, there isn't chile in cajeta, there isn't chile in a bunch of pan dulces that I have eaten so I don't know why there is a need to explain how it's in EVERYTHING if I know that it isn't in everything, but go ahead and mansplain to me on things that you clearly know so much more intimately than I do. Here I am trying to bring 2 ethnicities together with the similarities in their cuisines, but then we got you who assumes that I don't understand the depth of the use of Chili's in Mexican cuisine and also going on to explain how my native country's cuisine uses Chiles in their own dishes. So, since I used 3 examples of where chile isn't used in Mexican food I need you to tell me if I'm either lying about what I just have said and you can prove me wrong or you are just being a pretentious know it all
The mole portion was my ABSOLUTE favorite part 🤤🤤
Never have I missed LA more :( Saving this video for when I visit or move back. Yucatan style seems right up my alley - thanks for the education!
blessed with another episode of Esther hosting!
Love seeing Korean & Mexican cultures collaborate.
Loved this episode! Esther is a ray of sunshine ☀️
I was not ready for this episode to end
Love learning about Mexican cuisine.
Auntie Esther rockin' the jumpsuit. Love this series!!
That's some of the best advice I've ever heard, "Go to the places that have a region in the name"
Heat Eaters is my new favorite RUclips series. Love it.
Esther is the best! An enthusiastic, kind, and curious host
Thanks for this video. Helps us learn more about Mexican culture and learn to appreciate it more.
i mean only about the mex spice thats all, not the culture overall
is extremely difficult to learn about México culture in one video, there's too many States and each has their own culture within
@@nobytes2exactly. Mexico is so big and unique in a way that all of these “spicy Mexican foods” are only the tip of the iceberg of Mexican cuisine.
How we hope this series will continue after this season. We are enjoying it so much. Esther is doing an amazing job.
As a proud Yucateco and resident of Pico Rivera, I really enjoyed this episode a lot. It's been too long since I made a good panucho or salbut.
First we Feast always shows Mexico love whenever they do an episode in LA! What's crazy is they show different regions better than most "traditional" shows, respect 🙏
Mi comida favorita, aguachiles. Arriba México. Eating raw habanera with your meal is next level insanity..
Esther channeling some big April O'Neil energy with that outfit.
I love how this episode is able to show how diverse Mexican food is. I've seen all the "all tacos from Mexico" etc but this is way more holistic than other shows (I'm thinking of the other Korean-led show ;-))
Absolutely enjoying this series!
Esther rockin the April O'Neil cosplay
That mole is going on my must try foods list. It looked absolutely amazing.
Theres a lot of different moles too
I love mexican food! I need my fix at least once every week or two!
Auntie Esther channeling her inner April O'Neil with that outfit.
Best series on First We Feast by far. Can't wait for more.
Please I hope this show never goes away! It’s so well produced like Hot Ones and it’s so interested
I just saw your video of the King Crab, and was intrigued by your Spicy Food Resistance, I'm mexican and I love this show now.
That flaming hot elote at the end LOOKS BOMMMMBBB!!!
That yellow jump suit is FIRE!
Auntie Ester is Rocking the April O'Neal look.
The Heat-Queen giving off serious April O’Neil vibes - digging it
When you eat at a mexican yard with home made food, you are eating real authentic cuisine. Its the best
Best food video I've seen on RUclips in a while. And there's a lot of good food videos on RUclips
I’ve been absolutely loving this heat eaters series! I really hope it sticks around, I look forward to the next one!
I love this series! Keep ‘em coming!
My family’s from Michoacán… and I can totally taste/“phantom taste” 🤷🏻♂️ the sweeter mole (versus the mole Oaxacaqueño)…😂🤣 the rice, flour tortilla, and mole sounds delicious!
Everything looked amazing! Provecho!
Chef Choi has become my new celebrity crush 🫃🏾😫😫😫
Esther I’m sure you already know this but you’re invited to the carne asad! This has become my favorite series anywhere.
Thanks for bringing such beautifully made series with so genuine presenters and hosts.
God I love Mexican food! You might not expect to hear that from a Brit but if you know how many Indian curry houses exist here, it's a no brainer
Something about different cultures getting to know one another over food just always brings a smile to my face.
This is my new favorite series!
That backyard meal totally made me HUNGRY!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this series is getting better and better! thanks Auntie
This series absolutely cannot end. It's way too good!!!
Chopsticks seems so natural with Mexican. Allows for greater appreciation of the ingredients.
gotta love humble beginnings on the Ecbalan portion, respect to all our Moms!
Went to school with chef Juan Chan. I am really glad he found his passion. I remember him wanting to be a boxer in high school, which last I heard he became a personal chef for boxers. I'll have to stop by since I live around the corner.
This is such a fun series, I love it!!
Mi comida favorita, aguachiles. Arriba México
This is offiially my new favorite show! Ya'll and Esther are knocking it out of the park 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Really been enjoying the series. Esther is a really good host for this, although I would love for the episodes to be longer :)
I need wardrobe notes as well because the outfits you wear are always on point!
Yes, "Hot One's", You have a new level of food aficianado's... Gonna be SO MUCH FUN! Now I have to find these foods in North Fla... 🙀😝🤣👍😻🌶
I am really enjoying this series. Esther is such a joy.
Love this series.

Fantastic episode and man - I WISH I could have access to this kind of food on the regular. Everything just looks so amazing.
Auntie Esther 😁 she’s so amazing in everything
Love these heat eater episodes! You are such a joy to watch Esther! 😁
This heat eaters series is just amazing. Keep it up ✌ hope we'll get more episodes in future
This is awesome!! Diving into Latin and central American spices. I love me some Asian spices and Latin spices both. And they are completely different from one another. So love the show is exploring different styles of spice :)
I love traveling and eating the native food.
This reminds me of the various Anthony Bourdain shows where the host goes to grandmas' homes and I get sad I'll never get to taste those amazing foods myself
I miss my grandmas' cooking....both of them, the Hillbilly and the Mexican
Every time I see an episode I get extremely hungry.
I love Esther Choi❤
You’re healing my relationship with SPICE hehe tytyty
I get so hungry every time I watch these lol
I love this series and love esther choi!❤
Love Esther & this series!
This show is so fantastic! Love learning about the different uses of chilis/chiles across cultures!
Esther is incredible ❤
Those tacos at the end looked amazing. Love me some habanero, I put 5 in each batch of chili I make. Looking to start a year round indoor pepper garden in the near future.
This is my favorite episode so far 🥰😋 i love how informative this show is!
This is becoming my new fave FWF show!
I had the chance to spend a week in the Yucatan peninsula. Some of my favorite food to this day...
