TRYING 9 FOODS IN MEXICO'S FOOD CAPITAL (Oaxaca) // MEXICO TRAVEL VLOG
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2024
- Today we are trying Mexican street food for the first time! We made our way to Oaxaca (pronounced Wa-ha-ka) because it is known as the food capital of Mexico and it did NOT disappoint! We came upon a market that popped up near our hotel and had so many traditional Mexican dishes for us to try. We managed to try nine different foods before we were too full to take another bite.
If we had to pick favourites, Mico would choose barbacoa and Nicole would choose nieve, but honestly, nearly every food we tried was delicious! We loved the memelitas, empanadas, molotes, tejate, tlayudas, and pastries we tried, but Nicole will probably never have chocolate atole again (sorry Mexico!).
If you ever find yourself in Oaxaca, we highly recommend you find a food market and try as many dishes as your stomach can handle!

======================
Hey there! We are Nicole and Mico, full-time travel vloggers searching for adventures all around the globe. In March 2021 we quit our jobs, sold our belongings, and hopped on our first ever one-way flight leaving our home country #Canada. We believe #travel builds understanding that reaches across culture, language, and boundaries, and we want to share our experiences as we create connections all over the world. If you like learning about unique places, new cultures and different foods, then come follow our adventure as we explore all our beautiful planet has to offer.
Barbacoa was actually the precursor to American BBQ. It made its way from the Caribbean all the way through Mexico and finally to the US where they adopted the method of slow cooking meat underground. The difference is that Americans developed above ground smokers to cook their meat. Also, the word “barbecue” comes from the word “barbacoa.”
That makes sense! Thanks for teaching us!
de hecho no, la barbacoa es de origen prehispanico y son solo similitudes fuera de contexto la que tu mencionas.
hola mis amigos..............es muy interesante conocer todo MEXICO,,,,,porque cada estado es muy diferente en su cultura y su gastronomía y sus tradiciones,,,,,,,,,,,,Mexico no es solo una comida tiene miles de comidas tradicionales en todo MEXICO........Mexico es como si tuviera muchos países adentro de MEXICO........tal vez muchos turistas visitan mas las playas ,,que son hermosas hay para todos los gustos............Pero introducirte adentro de MEXICO y platicar con las personas y convivir con sus culturas LES CAMBIA LA VIDA.............sigan disfrutando MEXICO y no se arrepentirán .................saludos y felicidades.............y para NICOLE es impresionante su forma de comer y como mueve sus ojos, sus gestos, su boca ,,,,cada vez que la veo comer (ME DA MUCHA HAMBRE) sola por verla comer.....tiene un estilo que me da hambre...........con todo respeto escribo estas palabras para ella .............ya tienen un nuevo suscriptor
¡Nos alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado el video! Comer alimentos diferentes en todo el país es algo que nos encanta hacer. México es tan hermoso y queremos explorar más del país la próxima vez que regresemos.
Gracias por visitar el maravilloso estado de oaxaca ,DIOS ya me dio ambre otra vez al ver tanta comida tan rica.
¡Realmente disfrutamos Oaxaca! ¡Los colores de la ciudad eran tan increíbles como la comida!
Welcome to México...
Thanks so much!
Just found y'all and are having fun catching up on your Mexico vids! We're headed to Mexico City for a month in a couple of weeks but are definitely going to spend a few days in Oaxaca as well. Safe travels!
Oh wow that will be so much fun! We had such a short period of time to visit but could have easily spent many weeks or months. Have an amazing trip!
I love Oaxaca 😍
Awesome! We loved it too!
You had a tostada with refried black beans and queso fresco ,the shave ice was a nuez (walnut)raspado the hot chocolate is call a champurado the foam you scoop it with a sweet concha mexican bread or a cuernito(croissant)in Oaxaca or puebla you got to try the mole the best and original is from puebla but in Mexico there's a big variety i think like 20 different kinds am glad i got to see your video first time enjoy Mexico one day i will
Wow thank you for the great information! We loved trying so many foods!
hello my friends.............. it is very interesting to know all of MEXICO,,,,, because each state is very different in its culture and its gastronomy and its traditions,,,,,,, ,,,,,Mexico is not just a food it has thousands of traditional foods throughout MEXICO........Mexico is as if it had many countries within MEXICO........maybe many tourists visit but the beaches,, which are beautiful, there are for all tastes.... But entering MEXICO and talking with people and living with their cultures CHANGES THEIR LIVES... .......keep enjoying MEXICO and you won't regret it ................greetings and congratulations............and to NICOLE Her way of eating is impressive and how she moves her eyes, her gestures, her mouth,,,, every time I see her eat (MAKES ME VERY HUNGRY) just to see her eat.....she has a style that makes me hungry. ..........with all due respect I write these words for her .............you already have a new subscriber
Thanks for watching our video and showing your love for Mexico in the comments. We hope to go back and explore more of the country some day!
When in Mexico City you MUST try Tacos Al Pastor. They are a local Mexico City dish, and by far my favorite, they are delicious.
Oh man we just googled them and they look delicious! We will add it to the list of foods to try on our next visit 😀
@@nicoleandmico they are amazing. So tasty.
Everything looked really interesting.
I dont know if I would be able to try that hot chocolate haha xx
Right?! We wont be searching for more chocolate atole in our travels 😂
Que rico!!! 🤤🤤🤤
¡Gracias Melissa!
Amazing food!
It was so good but SO filling! We should probably spread these food tours out over multiple days 😄
Nicole and Mico nice! Everyone like food,I like so much,I wish you will be a foodie, keeping on
@@andysrunning3429 We will definitely continue making food videos! 😁
Very nice sampling of local comestibles!
So delicious! We seriously look forward to going back to Mexico one day JUST to eat the food again! 😋
We can’t wait to get to Oaxaca and try the many foods! Subbed and looking forward to more videos from you guys!
Have an awesome time in Oaxaca when you make it there! We loved it! Thanks for joining our journey!
That isn't hot chocolate is Atole of chocolate, It's a hot beverage with a base of corn, sugar, cinnamon and chocolate in this case, that's why it has the oatmeal consistency, you can find different flavours of Atole, like rice, oatmeal or strawberry, we usually drink it in the morning.
We will have to give it another try the next time we are in Mexico and hopefully we will be bigger fans. Maybe it is just a matter of trying it a few times to develop a taste for it
Wow amazing content with beautiful view and so cute couple 😍, stay blessed have a great day 🤗👍✌️🇵🇰💟
Thank you!!
Perfect video about Oaxaca!
You are great!
Thanks so much! We are glad you liked the video :)
Not sure if it has been said but, nieve means ice cream, yes it means snow but we use it to also mean ice cream. Nuez are walnuts.
Ahhhhh, thank you! That is so helpful. We will never forget how to say ice cream in Spanish now!
Oaxaca ♥️
💛
Great content guys! Keep it rolling..
Thanks! We are doing our best to get a new video out every Sunday 😁
"Better than Knafe?" Hahaha I'm Mexican living in Jordan since 2015, so true about the overly sweet things here, but yeah, knafe is a top tier dessert, can go toe to toe with Mexican desserts. Love your videos about my home country hey!
Oh man that knafe is something else! It is so neat that you are living in Jordan and are from Mexico - we loved both countries so much! You are lucky to call both countries home 😀
Atole is not hot chocolate. Atole is a corn flour based drink that can be flavored with many different things. True Mexican hot chocolate is just milk, chocolate and usually some cinnamon and perhaps another spice or two in there.
I have a feeling we would love traditional Mexican hot chocolate!
Los dos pasarían como mexicanos. Ella como una mexicana güera y El como mexicano asiático.
Jaja probablemente tengas razón! Mientras estuvimos allí, notamos que Mico se mezclaba bastante bien con muchos de los lugareños, especialmente cuando todos tenían sus máscaras puestas.
Nicole that drink u had looked good
Thank you!
ME gustan las gringuitas que no son delicadas para comer, porque luego salen que Im on diet Bravo, bravo
¡Sería una pena viajar a lugares con una comida tan buena y no probar tantos como podamos!
Mmmmm
Yummmyyyy
SUPER
Thank you! Cheers!
La mejor comida de Mexico es la de Oaxaca 😋
¡También habíamos oído eso! Podemos confirmar que estaba delicioso 😀
YUMMM I wanna try all of them, I love Mexican street foods!!! Cheap and delicious :) New subscriber here, check our channel too!! Greetings from Mexico hehe
Trying new foods is one of our favorite things! We will definitely come over and check out your channel too. Thanks for subscribing!
I want all that food wtf
It was delicious!
Ohhh it's not hot chocolate, it's called "atole" and it's made with "maicena ". I don't like it either, some people drink it for breakfast.
Ah we just looked up a recipe - I think the maicena may have been part of the reason we weren't huge fans! Good to know we aren't alone in our dislike of it 😂
@@nicoleandmico maicena is corn flour and there are different flavors of atole, normally we eat it with a tamal in the breakfast a winning combination
Clown alert over Nichole’’s shoulder at @3:40! 🤡
Kind of creepy eh? 😂
Mico where you originally from in Asia?
Hey there I'm from the Philippines 🇵🇭 😁 which hopefully we'll be visiting later this year!
@@nicoleandmico Filipinas también fue colonia española alguna vez hay muchas similitudes en el idioma aunque no parezca, jaja.
Sí, hay tantas similitudes en la cultura y el idioma a pesar de estar tan separados. ¡Esta muy padre!
@@nicoleandmico Sii, me encanta, yo veo muchos documentales sobre Filipinas, jaja.
12:30 I hope you know by now that That is not a traditional chocolate.
We never knew! So what would be a traditional chocolate so that we know the next time we come back?
Barbaco is not Mexican Style BBQ.
BBQ is an American style of Barbacoa, it is not even a mexican dish, it is prehispanic. Mayans and tlaxcaltecans ate it hundreds of years before the conquest.
Very cool, thanks for sharing the info!
It doesn't make any sense to designate Oaxaca as the food capital... it has a very important food culture but in any way it is the most important...
Whatever the case, we really enjoyed eating as much as we could in Oaxaca!
@@nicoleandmico ¡Provecho!
esa no es barbacoa, es carne cocida con vapor. Nada que ver con la barbacoa autentica
¡Vaya que no teníamos idea! La tienda estaba en el quincho y el nombre de la tienda también era barbacoa. Ahora tenemos que probar la verdadera barbacoa la próxima vez que volvamos. De todos modos, todavía estaba muy delicioso 😋 ¡Gracias por el consejo!
@@nicoleandmico Si es barbacoa, hay muchas maneras de prepararla en diferentes estados.
¡Ah, por supuesto! Podemos imaginar que difiere mucho de una región a otra. ¡Parece que tendremos que probarlo en muchas áreas cuando volvamos a México!
@@SarahLynn__ no es barbacoa como tal, ya que esta no es cocida a las brasas, es al vapor y como tal no cumple. La barbacoa tipica se hace en un hoyo o en un horno de ladrillo, con brazas abajo y cocida en alijo de penca de maguey cocinandose en su jugo, no en agua. De barbacoa solo tiene el nombre pero no lo es. Es como la cerveza sin alcohol.
@@nicoleandmico No difiere. No es lo mismo mole poblano que oaxaqueño. No hay cabrito sureño o tlayudas de la ciudad. Asi la barbacoa tipica es de hidalgo aunque la encuentras en el estado de mexico, y tlaxcala. pero es originaria del valle del mezquital, exactamente en tepatepec Hgo, aunque es mas publicitada la de actopan. La barbacoa real estara dese ixmiquilpan hasta tepeji del rio.
