  • Today I'm at La Cocina Mexican Grill in Trufant, Michigan, attempting their undefeated taco challenge! Challengers have a short 25 minutes to finish a giant taco composed of meat, beans, rice, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. Winners get the meal for free, a shirt, and go up on the wall of fame. If you are unsuccessful, you pay $35 for the meal and take home leftovers.
    Do you think I could be the first person to beat Michigan's biggest taco challenge? Check out the video to find out!

    Who has tried this challenge?
    I live here and never heard about this. Also my daughter works there.
    New fan.
    I watch Katina, Molly, Randy, Raina and Joel....
    And my favorite is Adam, beard meets food.
    I'm glad to see a local restaurant participating in challenges. ❤

      Hey there, small world! They told me 5 or 6 people tried prior to me, not sure who they were. I’ve never been to Trufant before, but have a friend who lives in the area and she tagged me in it. Thanks for checking out my channel!

    Great t-shirt! I have fond memories of going to Blockbusters to rent a video and then going to the shop two doors down for popcorn and snacks.

      Thanks! I got it at the last blockbuster store in Bend Oregon earlier this year! Really really cool place. They have a documentary on Netflix, and the lady from it was there. I talked to her for a bit.

    Congratulations, Nathan on being the first person to defeat that gigantic taco challenge!
    I was so impressed at how you demolished that taco in only a third of the time required. Not only were you the first to beat the challenge, but you also set a record that will be hard to beat!
    That taco looked so fresh and delicious! The shell was so crunchy. It looked like you enjoyed every bite! Great job on another outstanding victory 🙌🙌❤️😊

    • @NathanKleinEats
      @NathanKleinEats  Před 4 měsíci

      Thank you Kim! I was definitely thankful to get the win. It was a delicious, and the place was really excited to see me win. Just a fun overall place!

    Hi Nathan - That taco was Huge. Can't believe it was only $35. It would be worth sharing it with a few people to have a casual meal. Your speed has really improved. Thanks for the video.

    • @NathanKleinEats

    You are number one in "strategery" sir. Great job on a delicious looking taco.!!!! Every time I thought you were finishing up, the food just seemed to be expanding in mass rather than contracting. Have a great weekend my friend.

    Great take down brother! Food looked good.

    @samcook_food Před 4 měsíci +1

    I’ve seen a couple of giant taco challenges before, but not many with a giant shell like that. As an engineer, I’m sure you also appreciated the structural integrity of that engineering marvel! 🌮 But maybe not as much as you appreciated the seasoning on that beef 😅.
    That said, it wasn’t strong enough to stand up against you. Not exactly a burrito challenge, but clearly Mexican food consumption is a transferable skill. Great job and congratulations on the win! 🎉

    • @NathanKleinEats
      @NathanKleinEats  Před 4 měsíci +1

      You read my mind. The guy had a special device he made for creating the shell. I was beyond geeked. lol. Thanks for watching Sam, hope you have a great one!

  • @tomdavis6371
    @tomdavis6371 Před 4 měsíci +2

    It looked both enormous and delicious. Did you even taste it much, Nathan? It looked like you pretty much inhaled it! On a side, Grand Rapids is home to a spot I loved going to while visiting my sister back in the 90's called The Beltline Bar. No idea if they have a food challenge but they featured a superb "wet burrito". Great job young man!

    • @NathanKleinEats
      @NathanKleinEats  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Hey Tom! I did taste it, and it was good! 😂
      I am definitely familiar with the belt line bar. I lived near Grand Rapids for 4 years and a place I worked at would frequently cater from there. Their food is awesome.
