Did any of these surprise you?

We asked our Mexican moms play a game of 'Is it Mexican?' (with the help of TheCrazyGorilla) where they have to guess if a food, thing, or place, is originally made in Mexico or if it's a product just associated with our community! Some of the history of these things may surprise you! Moms had to guess the history of horchata, nachos, Japanese style peanuts, Chipotle, enchiladas, flour tortillas, fajitas and even piñatas! Did you know that Chipotle Mexican grill... never mind - you'll just have to watch the video!

Did you know some of these foods weren’t Mexican? 🫢
Angry Birds

Mexican food is on a whole different level. You get to be introduced to a lot of different flavors. I’m glad this channel keeps growing as time passes. I salute you all for your hard work and effort.
❤️❤️❤️
Lol they skipped Xóchitl’s reaction on the chilaquiles. She was so confident that they weren’t Mexican 😂
Just gotta say: I love this series and these ladies so much. Don't have my mother around, so kind of feel like home watching these. Thank you.
❤️❤️❤️
Im so sorry about not having your mom
I think the current day horchata would be considered Mexican since it changed to rice there. Quibble, quibble! Great video!!
I agree
No its not 😂 it's African the rice came from Africa and was brought to Mexico 😂
@@jayceon5027 Paprika is made with red bell pepper and bell peppers come from Mexico, that doesn't mean its origin is Mexican. It's from Spain.
Polenta is made with corn and corn is from the Americas but it's an Italian dish.
@@samyarellano900 Lol, u answered very well that @Jayceon never replied back
Mexican food is delicious. This video makes me want to try a lot more foods around the world. Horchata sounds delicious! Love learning about Mexican culture and customs. Great video MaMah! 🇲🇽 😄
Is so good. In the US everywhere we eat some version of Mexican food. It's hugely popular here. I almost never eat "American" food.
@@chaoswitch1974 yeah. I hear especially Mexican food from Texas (Tex Mex) and Southern West Coast is really good. And US American food is good too. Lots of varieties, especially depending where you go.
I’m Mexican and very interested in food, including food history so I knew a lot of this but was able to learn some new information. Muchas gracias, mis amigos.
Our pleasure and thank you for watching ❤️
3:49 “I am proud, YAY Mexicans woohoo” 🎉 🥳 👏
Me every time I hear something is Mexican. 😂
1:18 “Because I knew of Horchata as a kid back in Mexico. And well, I’ve got some years.” 😂
You should do one where you make them eat something that is surprisingly Mexican like Caesar salad and then talk about its history.
Well if you put like that horchata is Mexican. They changed the main ingredient so, it's another recipe
The flour tortilla came after the Spanish brought wheat but originally flour tortillas were not part of the Mexican diet when we were introduced to flour we decided to make tortillas thus the flour tortilla came to be. I love flour tortillas with mole it tastes so good. But I always knew it was MADE in Mexico since I'm from the North. The flour tortillas are especially used for burritos!!!
Xochitl was on something today with her glasses…lol. Once again, another awesome video!
I love these ladies. ❤ the only channel I look forward to getting notifications. ❤❤❤
You're the best!❤️
Well, Horchata as we know it did originate in Mexico so it is Mexican!
For a moment, I thought you were going to say Ignacio Varga like in Better Call Saul show lol Good to know that nachos is a Mexican dish 👍🏻
I already loved Xóchitl !! but the moment she mentioned she has family in Ensenada, I was like WOOOO HOOOO !!! Ahora entiendo porque me cae muy bien la señora!! I love the part when they talk about chilaquiles, me encantan machin!!
Technically Horchata is Mexican. Maybe the concept was from elsewhere, but the usage of rice, cinnamon and vanilla were Mexican.
Rice horchata is Mexican, but if you’re just saying Horchata without specifying the kind then not technically since that term is still used in Spain for the one made from Tiger Nuts.
Horchata came from Africa lol
@@KomoyaK Yes but changed significantly to make something new. That’s like saying Kachumbari is from the Americas because it has tomatoes like pico de gallo.
Yes I agree! The American Hamburger actually has origins in Germany. But tell any American if the hamburger is German they will kill you lol. The Hamburger is American because it changes so much from what was in Germany it's not German anymore.
Las piñatas las crearon los misioneros españoles en México con la finalidad de catequizar. Tenían 7 picos que eran los 7 pecados capitales, se vendaban los ojos a manera de la fe, y con el palo de la caridad se les vencía y las frutas (antes no eran dulces) eran las bendiciones de DIOS.
The piñata in Mexico was invented by Aztecs to celebrate the birthday of their gods, they would make clay pots and decorate, paint them really nice and fill them with fruit/snacks and hang them to break them. The Europeans took the idea of a piñata from the Chinese and took it back to Europe and called it piñata to celebrate catholic holidays. When the Europeans came to Mexico and conquered, the piñata evolved mixing Aztec tradition of celebrating birthdays and Europeans celebrating catholic holidays by making the Mexican piñata 🪅 celebrates both birthdays and Christmas/ catholic holidays.
En el norte de España (Cataluña y Aragón) existe algo parecido a la piñata que se llama "tió". Es tradicional en Navidad.
I put the Japanese peanuts on my homemade tostilocos & they’re incredible ❤️
Horchata is not made from nuts....so its not from North Africa....hello.
"We adapt well, and if we like something, we take over." Lucy is too funny.
“Yo no sabo” is Crazy 😂
Soo... Yo no sabo 🤔😂
Lol
😂😂
I'm so enjoy with this channel! It make me learn more about Mexico culture and food ❤️. Hope Mamah can react Malaysian food or snack on next video! Love from 🇲🇾
i knew it! Nachos are from Mexico, the mexican nachos were different from the american (now, they are a mix but you still can see the traditional ones with jalapeños and colby cheese).
Now i want chilaquiles!
I feel like Horchata is mexican like yes it was brought by colonialism, but a lot of things tht were brought through colonialism come together to make its current culture. Is it indigenous? no. But I think that colonialism+ cultural exchange has added and changed many things in many ethnic groups across the world. I don't think that makes it any less authentic. Just my hot-take.
Your absolutely correct, the horchata that Mexicans make has African influence but the drink changed so much in Mexico making a completely different drink that’s Mexican.
The main ingredient changed to rice and cinnamon of course it is
mexicans try mexican alcohols
like pulque, wine grown in mexico, sotol, tepache, comiteco and raicilla!
Also Mexican drinks like tequino, champurrado, tejate, and ponche navidad!!
watching during class is a vibe
Request: Mexican moms try Lay dips like French onion, ranch dip, jalapeño dip I would really like to see their reactions
French onion is so good.
I’m all for it.
If I see this comment one more time. You always comment this on every one of there videos 😂
@@gio33366 You're absolutely right he says the same comment every time.. Give it a rest.🙄
@@gio33366 I was gonna say this! Even started questioning if I already watched this video. Always see his comment lol!
I absolutely have seen nachos in Mexico but because I am actually from the north of Mexico, the folks from CDMX and southern Mexicans don’t really know a lot about Northern Mexico, Burritos and Nachos and Margaritas are everywhere in the north and they were invented in the north we also eat flour tortillas about the same if not more than corn tortillas
There should definitely be a Halloween edition video ! 🥰
I knew a few were not but was really surprised the Nachos were. It’s funny though, my girlfriend, who’s from Sonoran, made nachos the other night, who said she loved them growing up…🤦🏼♂️. Oh well, they were DELICIOUS regardless and had them with Coke of course. Stay safe & God Bless!!
As a Cuban american (56 yrs old) I and my sister always had pinatas for our B-days. But they had many ribbons on the bottom tied to a longish candy that every kid would pull to tear open the pinata. It was full of candy, confetti, and little toys!!! OMG memories!!!!!!
Yeah but what Mexicans like Cubans.
"Yo no sabo" lol
I can’t believe horchata is not from Mexico
I know!!! 🤯🤯
The horchata does have African origins but the version us Mexicans make is a new drink, it changed very much in Mexico not barely. The main ingredient that improved the horchata was adding vanilla a Mexican native ingredient and we added milk ( other dairy products) to it instead of water and the rice is better then the peanuts. The horchata really evolved in Mexico it’s a drink we inherited from our ancestors from Spain and yes even from Africa and we improved it in México it is a Mexican drink.
@@irisfigueroa5249 I was thinking the same thing. It was INSPIRED by a drink from a different country but the RICE based drink was created in Mexico, which is the one they are referring to. It’s Mexican.🇲🇽🎉
Mexican horchata taste completely different m
It is from Mexico. It’s different than the African one they’re similar not the same
11:21 You just had to say “yo no sabo” didn't you lmao
Martha had me cackling with her comments about her dentures 😄😄😄
Ojalá y me toque una suegra así de alegre que Xóchitl 💕 me la pasó riéndome con ella 🤭
Did he really say “ Yo no Sabo? “ 😂😂😂😂
Just lost his Mexican card
“Yo no sabo” had me tilted.
"yo no sabo" SERIOUSLY!?!? ADM!!!
fun fact: Pinatas is a container, often made of papier-mâché, pottery, or cloth, that is decorated, filled with candy, and then broken as part of a celebration. Piñatas are commonly associated with Mexico. The idea of breaking a container filled with treats came to Europe in the 14th century, where the name, from the Italian pignatta, was introduced. The Spanish brought the European tradition to Mexico, although there were similar traditions in Mesoamerica, such as the Aztecs' honoring the birthday of the god Huītzilōpōchtli in mid-December. According to local records, the Mexican piñata tradition began in the town of Acolman, just north of Mexico City, where piñatas were introduced for catechism purposes as well as to co-opt the Huitzilopochtli ceremony. Today, the piñata is still part of Mexican culture, the cultures of other countries in Latin America, as well as the United States, but it has mostly lost its religious character.
I'm really surprised that Nachos are Mexican a specialty lol..I learn something knew from Mamah every time I watch lol 😆.
As the (well-supported) story goes, Ignacio "Nacho" Anaya originally made them for some US military wives who came into his restaurant late in the day in Piedras Negras, Mexico. The kitchen had already closed, but Anaya kindly offered to throw together something from the day's leftover tortillas. He ripped and fried them up, covered them with cheddar and jalapeño slices, warmed them in the oven, and served them up as Nacho's Especiales. The women loved them and they were added to the restaurant's regular menu.
I think they got popularized in the US.
@@jeffmorse645 They definitely did. When the etymologists were researching the origin of the term Nachos, they found there was even an nachos recipe found in an old cookbook from Eagle Pass, which is where the customers were from. Apparently one of them loved the dish enough to submit a recipe for it a year or two after Ignacio Anaya served it to them.
"Fajitas " looks like "alambre de carne" which contains peppers, onion, bacon, and beef strips sometimes other meats like chicken or vegetables like shrooms
This was awesome! Well done Mamah! I want nachos now!😋
Love the addition of the dude!😍 Well done!
Low key I'm in love with Ramon
Obviously in areas of Mexico, where you can grow wheat, people are going to eat wheat tortillas.
This was so funny and I love your guys channel!!
Thank you for watching!
:D
“Yo no sabo” lol
Lol hey denver!!! Yes my city
Btw, Piañatas are actually mexican, it began 400 years ago, they made the classical clay Piñata with many fruits inside and those were made by very, VERY special occasions, they are traditionally made with 7 stiff peaks to represent the 7 deadly sins
There is also the ones with 5 peaks, to represent the stars that was used as guide by the 3 Reyes Magos
Amd yeah, there also those records of the Aztecs and Mayas, they had different designs i believe
@11:20
I hope he was playing around 🤦🏻♂️
“Yo no sabo” 😂🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I love everytime theres a new video!! 💕
Love the video but can you please have the moms react to Los Tigres Del Norte please do so but keep up the good work ❤
I'm from Puerto Rico but I love Mexican food
Yo no sabo" lmao
Texas native and love me some fajitas!!! 🥰🥰
Love this channel always makes me smile lie and laugh at times
Of course they don't have Chipotle in Mexico. They wouldn't dare. 🤨
I don't know though...
My head almost exploded once when I saw a, Taco Bell in Monterrey, NL. underneath a huge highway overpass, It was packed. I immediately lost all hope for mankind. This was 20 years ago, so I don't know if its still there.
I know KFC, Pizza Hut, and McDonalds are big over there.
Just discovered this awesome channel.
Love ur vids ❤️😁
In Brazil the Japanese peanuts are SOOOO popular and of course I love them
And they were made by a Japanese immigrant in Mexico
Yesss another quiz
Enjoyed! Thanks for sharing.
“No, mexicano claro que si” La amo Jajaja
See I knew me and Xotchil are soul mates hahah love me green chilaquiles
Best type of videos they do, in my opinion 💜
Yes most people believe piñatas are a Mexican tradition but the piñata originated in Italy sometime during Renaissance
Tortillas de harina or flour tortillas are very complicated to make, yet they are very handy when working in the fields. In my town that's all we eat.
Nacho libre suddenly makes more sense
Mexican moms react to Great British Baking Show's Mexican week ?
I did pretty good on what was Mexico made or not, but I also learn alot more history to some of it. Thank you
I'm learning more history here then in my history class 😅
No offense to my teachers they work hard lol
Love The way Xòchitl said fajitas lol.🤣
My sister-in-law's mother she knows how to make some really really good flower tortillas our tortillas and I remember one time I had it with manudo so delicious
Hmmm, if the main ingredient of horchata was changed in Mexico and is the primary flavor profile, I’d argue that it actually is Mexican.
This is the crossover everyone wanted
I agree with the lady. A Japanese guy invented them so it was Japanese inspired….so the most I’ll give it is a hybrid dish!
But they all look good!!!
LMAOOOO xochitle eyes at 3:53
Fun fact: Cacahuates japones in japan are called Cacahuates Mexicanos
I feel like horchata has been here long enough that we can claim it too
Caesar salad is one of my favorite Mexican snacks
I knew fajitas were from Texas or "Tex-Mex" food. When they started showing up in the San Joaquin Valley in the 1990s I remember reading about their origin.
I knew nachos were Mexican!
Honestly, I thought Nachos were invented in US by a Mexican immigrant.
You learn something new everyday!!
If you guys do a sequel, burritos come to mind.
What are your sources? I always knew horchata to originate in asia where they have a sweet rice water drink. I don't know what it's called but I've tried it and it doesn't taste like horchata cause it's missing cinnamon and something else.
Yea but the Horchata made in Mexico is the only Horchata that use rice so it's Mexican.
Yo no Sabo 😂😂😂
ramon's teaching me more stuff than history class
11:21 yo no sabo 😂😂😂
Flour tortillas was invented in Ciudad Juárez Chihuahua
In Mexico we only eat nachos at the cinema, and usually they only have liquid cheese and jalapenios. Is just like a snack, never a first meal as in other countries.
Horchata is mexican since its not the same as from where it originated
Ramón is always such a joy!
I did much better on this list than the last one.
I loooooove this omg
