Lucas Peterson I am flying in from Sydney next week and Tacos 1986 is my first stop. Originally from LA so really liking your new show. I heard you on “Good Food”.
@@vincentortiz8415 thanks Vincent!
So glad to have you back!
Lucas Peterson I'm so happy to see you back Lucas. We've missed you. Subbed to the channel immediately.
@@ibec69 appreciate it!
His family living in the beverly hills area of TIjuana. LOL
i suspect this is the reason why they took lucas to the most overrated taco spots in the city.
There is no beverly hills area of Tijuana. Because it is still Tijuana.
dattack1970 pinches fresas hijos de papi, spoiled brats hahaha that area is for wealthy people. Colonia la postal mijossss y el soler tienen los mejores tacos. El Mazateño y el frances
dattack1970 and that’s like bad thing? If his parents worked there asses off, why they can’t enjoy nice things ?
@@neogigo ain't nobody arguing that . But some people forget to be humble that's all .
Lucas, that outfit was cute, but screamed, "rogue DEA agent." love you babe.
Soy de SINALOA, pero me vine a Tijuana hace 25 años, todos esos lugares los conozco y definitivamente TACOS EL FRANC... los mejores..
Saludos raza, mis respetos para los Sinaloenses, muy buena gente, muy respetuosa y muy servicial! 👋
I was wondering a few days ago where Lucas was thank god I found him.
if there's ever a taco 1986 movie, jorge is gonna be played by james franco.
Tou Nou Thao 😭😂 I could see that Also
U my man have vision💯
Or the guy who played Lalo Salamanca in better call saul
Those taco spots are legit but honestly most taco places in TJ are better than any in LA
100% true los angeles mexican food sucks. Nothing like TEEJAY TACOS..
100 nothing compares to TJ tacos
Tijuana all day everyday 🔥🔥🔥
of course they made of dog meat
I agree in TJ you have a lot more choices like average in TJ is really good but when you find a good taco spot in LA is usually better than anything I have ever had! taquizas gilberto on saturday and sunday if you know anything better than this please let me know! or los guichos al pastor Plus 1986 tacos fuckin suck lol I live literally across the street from there and the salsa tastes like wolfgang puck canned sauce
Yesssss!!!! Finally an episode of accurate good Tijuana tacos!!! Well done boys! FYI those neighborhoods where they grew up are wealthy areas.
guilty too 😂 don't hate 😂 don't believe the myths like, all Mexicans are poor...
this is better then most shows on food network love it Lucas your the man keep these coming !!!!!!!!
thanks buddy
YEs! Awesome. I'm visiting the TAcos 1986 guys downtown!
Great episode. Tacos 1986 is a must try for taco enthusiast.
Dan Le I wouldn’t trust any taco “enthusiast”
Awesome 2nd episode, Lucas. Keep up the amazing work. :-)
Not just Tijuana is Home of the Best Tacos but Also the Ceasr Salad.
Yum! This was great ❤ Your new friends have so much personality. Quality content.
Lucas needs his own tv show
Yea but it wont be "his" show. Everyone has a boss u slave
All that food looks so good!!!!!
I loved this episode it was awesome!🌮
This was so awesome thank you
Boom! We're going to TJ!!
I loved this!
Best video yet!!
Wow this is so great!
The taco love is real Great video, excellent spots chosen
Awww, these guys were adorable. Nice tacos too.
Omg Lucas. You crack me up. Loved your interview with Evan.
thank you!
Damn I miss Lucas and those Nike’s were sick man👌glad you got a new show
Great video! I grew up in San Diego and I really only have Mexican cuisine while I'm visiting family. I can eat Mexican food 24/7 it's my favorite. The food, the culture and people are amazing and warm. As a Chef it's one reason I became one. the best way to explore another culture is to eat their cuisine. The most common and deep thread of life that ties us as species together, food. Our greatest and most fond memories stem from that. We all should share our food with one another.
Tacos el Franc my number one spot for tacos every time I go to TJ 🇲🇽 🌮
yes! it's great.
The best tacos in tijuana.
3fo5 overrated imo
You should try Tacos Poblano or Tacos Chely ive been to all the ones they went to and there good but the ones i mentioned are🔥💯
@@kokiomufc I'll try them out always cool to go to new places
Great series. Keep up the good work.
Man, I gotta make the pilgrimage to the west coast for authentic 🌮 after watching this! 😫
you definitely do!! :)
I had some of the best tacos of my life in TJ
The place was literally a hole in the wall.. the senor behind the counter recommended cabeza de vaca
This was back in 2004
jb there's a few really good places with cabeza tacos in tj. i moved here five years ago and i've had the best of the best. if i had to move out of tj, food would be the main issue to work on. its amazing what you can find here from carnitas, asada, cabeza and my favorite and best seller in tj birria de res. nothing like a few tacos at 9 am with lots of hot sauce and a cup of consome on the side
the video and the tacos, Amazing lol
Miss TJ tacos 😭 gotta visit soon!
Can't believe they took lucas to taconazo. puro taco fresa.
Y eso lo hace menos mexicano o menos auténtico , que un negocio crezca no es malo al contrario es a lo que todo mundo aspira a hacer dinero con su negocio
Tijuana HK...around the corner is a taco joint GO THERE!! You'll thank me later
best lapdance ever bro !
You're not lying.
The fish taco cart on the corner of Hong Kong is legitimately the best fish taco I ever tasted.
This was awesome! Love a good authentic taco 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮
thanks for watching!
Welcome back Lucas - the Humans of NY food style
Man these guys are fresas*joking* from Tijuana.. its the upscale area.. i grew up in the hood lol
Right lol i grew up going every summer to La Sanchez Taguada ✌ i passed those houses all the time going up the hill lol
"estrilosos
There 100% ninos de sociedad!
Right! There are so many actual street taqueros that make better tacos...you just have to go out of your comfort zone. Go to Reacomodo. And I didn't buy they lived in those areas. James Franco would be perfect for that arrogant prick. Lol
Sanchez allday.. by the church. Straight hood
To me personally i love going to las Ahumaderas if im not in my colonia eating at Tacos el Gallo. But i will deff try the tortas and tacos
Good vibes to TJ saludos !
Great 👍🏼 🌮 tijuana #1
Happy new year Lucas ❤️😍😋☃️🎉
That guy singing at the last spot is classic.
Love Tacos 1986 Joey Tostado is a legend!
He still is disgusting and a drug head
@@industrykillers7049 Your comment is laughable. You are a jealous pendejo; you wish you had his success. So get off your ass and do something with your life. Team Joey all he way!!!!
Back in the day (late 60's early 70's) near the OLD TJ bullfighting arena there was this motel that had a patio. My dad used to take us there before the fights. We'd walk in, you order your plate of meat and tortillas and they would be cooking it up right on the grill. When it was ready, you took this massive plate of meat, tortillas and salsa to a table and got it on. Man, TJ has always had great food. ;)
Lucas, great vlog! Psst, my dad wants his jacket back...
A Bow tie! Get all fancy 😂
Tijuana Tacos are the best Cheers bro!!!
Fantastic!
Gracias por mostrarle a le gente la cultura del taco de tijuana, muy poco tiempo dedicado a ls tortas del wash, q para mi no hay mejores tortas, tio pepe, taconazo, excelentes opciones, no vi tacos saceados de la ermita pero bueno. Feliz viaje devuelta a LA mis amigos 🍓 de la chapu y del hipodromo!
dam raza, yo soy d el hipódromo...a lo mejor fuimos juntos a la escuela....(were about same age) 🇲🇽❤️💯
I’m sooo obsessed with Joy!!!
You're great, Lucas!
No matter what you wear,we love your show!
Levi’s dark wash with button down shirts or 3/2 button polo type shirts.
Hi Lucas! I see u like a cool guy! Hope once can meet u and enjoy ur tacos! 🤙😁
That's Right, Taqueria Hipódromo is the best Carne Asada in all Baja California 🇲🇽🇲🇽❤️❤️💯💯
Remember Ice Cube? take a glimpse at him now at 09:48.
lol i have a uncle that i call tio ice cube
Lmao he was number one!
Those tacos spots look 100 x times better than tacos 1986. 🤣
I traveled all over Mexico and obviously I tried the tacos at each location, but the best tacos are definitely located in Tijuana. You have to try tj tacos before you die it's a must
Cant never go wrong with tacos 🌮
Yes you can , I been to plenty of taco trucks that are nasty no flavor and some to salty meat
0.18 I see you back there😂😂
Grew up in Tijuana and I'll tell you right now. Tacos El Jockey should be on top of the list. Lipodremo is ok but always had the smaller crowd anyhow. Hasnt changed one bit and nobody in LA or the rest of the world comes close.
Jorge aka Joy is sooo cute!😘😘😘
bluesteye33 torta
Tacos El Franc y Taconazo 1000%!!!!
Lucas, your outfit was super cute. It reminded me of the Beastie Boys "Ill Communication" era and the blue was a great complement to the Tacos 1986 Red!
thank you!
El Gooy!!!!! Felicidades amigo por todo tu éxito
These guys could make a killing giving taco tours.
Lucas when and why did you leave that other food show i believe it was called EATER OR MUNCHIES i hadnt seen you for awhile i stumbled on the times food and there you were its good to see you back on the grid agian. how did you get on the times food chanel any how good to see you back
I grew up with all this ❤️ amazing spots!
Right around the neighborhood I grew up in. Use to go to tacos hipodromo growing up. He’s right though Taco Nazo is probably some of the best to be honest
A lot of these places are more new to T.J. when I lived there it was La Especial en la Revolucion, La Vuelta, el Sombrero, Boliche coronas.... I don't know now but I'm sure these places are great
Les falto visitar los mas importantes de Tijuana, Tacos el Frances en Playas de Tijuana!! No tienen comparación, definitivamente
Tienes toda la razón pero recuerda el franc es lo mismo que el francés de playas y la glorieta en el soler, misma familia, 3 sucursales, mismo sazón , son los 3 lo mismo ,,
Ur outfit was cute, Lucas!! 😁
ooooh damn they took you to tortas wash mobile, these guys know whats up. Grew up like 4 blocks from where the original spot is, so every saturday my dad brought us tortas, now everytime i go to Tj i hit that spot like 3 times a week. What are your thought on the tortas, I feel like someone should do a whole episode about them.
I'll try them next time I go, I'm always down for some tortas lol
Mexico has some of the best food in the world
I second that and the further south you go, even the better, one of the things I like about Mexico city, even a chicken egg taste great
Jorge looks like this tweaker name speedy lokote
He is a coke head they said he’s outgoing no he just comes out
Very coked out
He looks like Lalo from Better Call Saul
He looks like the main actor in the movie
“Saving private Perez”
Ryans private
I love taco bell 🌮
Turns out we sometimes do too. Check out our video on the Value Menu there. czcams.com/video/jZrtWJIhcTs/video.html
I read “I like taking shits all day for the next 3 days “
Love the host
Fun!
You okay back there Jessica? 😂
I travel all over Mexico and the best tacos are in tijuana hands down and yes I had plenty of tacos in Mexico city now to me the best carne asada tacos in the world is tacos el ruso en el soler then tacos el franc and tacos el Frances and one more thing if you want the best tacos they have to make the tortillas there and if they don't don't waste you're time
Joy got MOVEMBER all season around 🌯
Nice viva Tijuana
Anyone who goes to TJ has their favorite spot. For me personally, Colonia el soler tacos la glorieta 🔥🔥🔥🔥.. and seafood wise I agree with peeps below who mentioned el Mazateño..
i miss these episodes, i hate covid
Lucas! The best.
LUCAS!!!!
Kool👍.
When you get a scratch like the puppy made; clean appropriately; then use super glue. Instant fix! You may need to reapply after several hand washings.
The dude with the cleaver damn near chopped his hand 🤚 off!! 😳😅 I’m no chef, but I know that was improper technique for sure.
Tijuas looks so clean 🤔
Tacos el frac!!! Hands down thé BEST!
Cool to see how each taqueria is unique. Please add captions because the auto-generated ones are not good. Hope to see more underrated countries & neighborhoods on this channel.
Mexico is not underrated, its been top 10 most visited countries in the emtire world for like a decade....You have just been missing out of a true, authentic Fiesta Mexicana!! 🪅🇲🇽🌯🌮🌶️
Taconazo is fire only spot i go to.
Tacos el franc are the bomb...hit up spot before a xolos game then hit up hong kong after
Yoooo, the best tacos I've ever had was tacos Al pastor in tj. Unfortunately that was also the first time I got food poisoning. It was worth it.
wed3k did u drink the water?
It's just Montezuma's revenge. It's not the food. It's very common.
They don’t have Al Pastor in TJ.
I've been to Ensenada, Rosarito, tj, and I have to be honest, Mexicali got them beat even on seafood,and Mexicali is a damn desert,but the food there is awesome
Heyy his not Flexing his Muscles like hi does in 186 Tacos....hahahhaah
