✔️ European Tries TEX-MEX TACOS- European Reacts - Reaction For the First Time
Tacos are loved and sold across America.
Indeed, there are a very large number of Tex-Mex places anywhere you go. If you have a significant Hispanic population, there are taquerias on every other block or strip mall. It's inexpensive, easy and fast, and generally very tasty.
That’s not oil dripping. lol. That’s juice from what’s in it
It is tomatoe juice, not oil.
Consume'
Yes it's juice
Exactly
Tacos are super popular in the US.
The chips and salsa are free!!!
The USA loves Tacos so much we have Taco Tuesday, every Tuesday....lol!
Tacos and Cuervo Margaritas, HEAVEN!
@@davinasampson6557 I am with you on the Tacos and Margaritas, but not the Cuervo! Different tastes for different people! Might be Taco Thursday tonight!
Those are refried pinto beans or frijoles refritos. They are mashed and fried.
The beans you're unfamiliar with are called "refried beans", frijoles refritos. They're boiled, mashed and then fried or baked.
❤... and sprinkled with flour, cornstarch, or another thickening agent 💪🏾
And are DELICIOUS!
They're refried because you use your leftover pinto beans..... Put them in a pan the next day and refry them.
And they are DELICIOUS!
@@MsLhuntMartinez79 I never use a thickening agent. Just mash the beans and they naturally thicken. A Hispanic lady taught me to add a bit of cream to the beans too.
Rember Coffee, Tea and Sodas usually come with Free Refills
Iced tea yes, hot tea no.
Hot tea, as well, wherever I've eaten.
Andre, tacos are everywhere in the US.
Love that
Most restaurants will serve rice and beans with their meals. And chips and salsa are generally brought to you before you get served, for free!
It's not free. It's built into the cost of the meal.
@@calendarpage Just like free refills...and?
Tacos are popular as burgers or pizza in most of America 🤘
Chips and salsa are almost always complimentary, brought to your table along with water as the waiter shows up to take your drink order.
There is Tex Mex everywhere. The closer to Texas the more authentic. Unless you have an authentic place near you. There are places all over the country, most not as good. We have one near me that is fantastic.
As an resident of az I disagree any southern west AZ,nm,California has real Mexican food
@@TamiRuiz-vs2qk You can disagree all you want. I've lived in Texas and all over the country. No one was talking about Mexican food, we were talking about Tex Mex.
refried beans are life i was eating a burrito i made while watching this
We spend the first half of our lives eating all this stuff and the second half listening to the Dr. Telling us we can’t eat this stuff 🤦♀️60+ here and my Dr. Tells me if it tastes good spit it out lol
When he had the beans and rice left, the move is to get a tortilla or two and make a couple more tacos yourself, stuffed with said beans and rice, and a little of that salsa.
Dude you could spend a year in Texas eating some sort of Tex-Mex every day from a different restaurant and you will never get tired of it. Soooo many ways to make everything!!!!! Picking a place to eat is one of the hardest decisions I have to make everyday!!!🤣🤣🤣 Come on down Andre!!! So says Austin Tx!!!! 😎🤘
Tacos any day that ends with "Y" 😂❤
Missourian here...
It's called Tex-Mex because it originated in Texas. But it's all over the country. The food is also referred to as southwestern, Mexicana, or Mexican-American.
I typically use southwestern here in ohio.
only these (hard shell) tacos didn't originate in Texas, the originated in Rialto (San Bernardino) California and were then popularized by Taco Bell which started in Downey (Los Angeles) California
its called refried beans....chile rellenos is stuffed chile pepper....I love stuffing Anaheim chiles with monterrey jack cheese & covering it in egg white meringue before frying them up in a pan....you could find Tex Mex all over the states but not as good in Texas....in California Mexican Food is usually known as Baja & here in Arizona you can find Mexican Food known as Sonoran....we have something similar to puffy tacos called 'Navajo Tacos'....you can find Mexican food all over the states & we even have 'Taco Tuesday'....I'm glad that they went to a mom & pop place instead of going to a tourist place cus those are the best
Had a friend named Keriann from New Mexico who make Navajo tacos. She was Navajo Indian. They were extremely similar to puffy tacos here in San Antonio.
Yes, i make and eat tacos all the time. Being in California where fusion food is huge, i eat mexican tacos, but we have korean tacos, Japanese tacos, fish tacos, breakfast tacos, etc. All so good. Tacos rock 👍
The quality of a Tex Mex place can be judged by the quality of their rice and beans. San Antonio is home of Ray's Cafe that invented the puffy taco and they're great!
From Southern California. Mexican is the best. If I had to eat one type of food for the rest of my life it would be Mexican.
Our family LOVES tacos!! You can go to get them, but you can also replicate anyone's tacos because our grocery stores has just about every ingredient you need. ❤
Tex-Mex is a modification of traditional Mexican food that was popularized in Texas. Sit a Californian, a Texan, a New Mexican, and an Arizonan together and ask where the best Mexican food is, and watch the sparks fly. But, as an Arizonan, I would say, I've gotten amazing tacos in all of of those states. But also, Mexican food culture is so ingrained in the US, you can find good tacos in just about every state these days.
AZ Mexican as an Phoenix resident for 45 years I love my chimis,also I lived in New Mexico for 4 years I love Mexican food with hatch Chili's
I think the word you were looking for is Mexicali 😊
The coffe price is higher because it's a bottomless cup. As long as you sit there, they keep topping it off.
Tex-Mex is the most common style of “Mexican” food in the US. Sometimes, you get lucky and there is a separate Mexican menu that has traditional Mexican food. A Mexican taco does not look like a Tex-Mex taco. They are each delicious in their own way. Monday’s special is a relleno pepper stuffed with beef. I like those too.
To create a fusion of Mexican and Scottish flavors in a taco, prepare haggis and chorizo tacos with whisky salsa.
Ingredients:
Filling: Haggis, chorizo, onion, garlic, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, pepper.
Whisky Salsa: Tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, Scottish whisky, salt.
Tacos: Tortillas, lettuce, cheddar cheese, sour cream.
Instructions:
Cook the Filling: Brown chorizo, then sauté onion and garlic. Add haggis, combine with chorizo, season, and cook.
Make the Salsa: Mix tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, whisky, and salt.
Assemble the Tacos: Warm tortillas, add filling, top with lettuce, cheese, whisky salsa, and sour cream.
Serve: Enjoy the fusion tacos with extra lime wedges.
This dish combines the hearty flavors of haggis with the spiciness of chorizo and a unique whisky-infused salsa.
On her plate is refried pinto beans and Mexican rice. you can also get fried black beans and rice. I love beans and Spanish or Mexican rice.
Taco Tuesdays, yeah😊
~ Coffee generally comes with free refills when you order it with a meal.
So that price is pretty reasonable.
Breakfast tacos, burritoes for lunch and enchiladas for dinner, yum, yum. Thats not oil dripping its the juice from the meats. They dont make oily tacos in SA.
We call Tuesdays taco Tuesday.
Andre, the mashed beans are called Frijoles Refritos or refried beans. The beans are put in a pan that has bacon grease, then they are mashed, and fried in the bacon grease. In San Antonio, we have an ongoing thing where we compete with Austin, to see who has the best tacos. We always win. Some people up north think Taco Bell is Mexican food that's a BIG NO!
12:29 I'm waiting for a CZcamsr to start using a randomly floating window like an old style screen saver. 😆
I've had two breakfast tacos every morning for the last three decades !
I've never met anyone who didn't love tacos 🌮 Carne asada is a must eat as well.
No kidding! San Antonio is extremely old. She was given her name in 1691, I believe. San Antonio is in the county of Bexar (pronounced *Bear County). There were numerous battles here. Almost every building downtown is haunted. Wait until you learn about our regional myths such as La Chusa, Chupacabra, the San Antonio ghost tracks (debunked ~supposedly), and the ghost of Our Lady of the Lake - our wailing lady here. 😱 ...😂
Fun Fact: It's 96F or 35.5C. Says it feels like 105F or 40C. Summer doesn't begin until June 20th! 😂
About Taco's: Some of what drips out can be liquid from tomato and other veggies or sauce. Not all is grease. Almost always you will get freshly made fried tortilla chips and a side of mashed refried beans (usually pinto).
Watching from Texas and I love TexMex.
In California it's just called Mexican food. Like TexMex the Mexican food in Cali is very popular. In LA they have food trucks driving/parking around that have the most amazing tacos and other Mexican-style food you'll ever eat. The little hole-in-the-wall places have the best food. In America, we often mix and match the styles of food. Mexican, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Filipino, Italian, Brazilian, French, German you name it. We love it all. Every immigrant group that comes to America brings their food and we absorb it all!
I was raised on tacos. Lengua is my favorite taco.
San Antonio, born and raised here. I've never eaten Lula's. Heard it was good. Our TexMex restaurant of choice is a place called Don Pedro's on Southwest Military Dr. The taste, serving size, and wait staff are AMAZING! There's also live Tejano/Spanish music on the weekends❤ *Tejano (pronounced Te- ha- no) is a Mexican American from South Texas.
Puffy tacos only in Texas....hmm... im not sure. I thought i saw puffy tacos at a restaurant in California near Hunting beach. Just checked and a family of Texans brought the Puffy tacos to CALIFORNIA FIRST though their restaurant, but they made them at home in Texas before they started their Cali restaurant.
We're hanging on to our Frozen Margaritas (started in Dallas, Texas). 😂
My town of less than 8,O00 people in North Carolina has 4 Mexican restaurant's owned by Mexican-Americans with Mexicans in the kitchen. They are Mexican, not Tex-Mex. There are also food trucks. I'm not including fast food chains. I prefer whole black beans to refried red beans. The rice and beans are also good in the taco.
Taco Tuesdays, walking tacos, taco pizzas, taco John's, taco bell, tasty tacos....we like our varieties.
Tex-Mex is everywhere in America. I live in North Orlando (nowhere near Disney, Universal and Sea World) and I live a 10 minute drive from 5 different Tex-Mex restaurants, 2 Chipotles, and 3 Taco Bells.
Tacos are my LIFE! They are easily my top 3 foods
I love tacos, and I love taco salad which we have at least once a week
I moved from Chicago, where I was born and raised, to San Antonio five years ago. I go to Lula's at LEAST once a week! The place is LEGIT!!!
Andre hello my friend I am your fan from Texas and your first question of the video was do you guys like tacos and the answer to your question is absolutely !!!!! I try to eat tacos everyday if not every day at least five times a week I love tacos It is my favorite food.
I grow tomatoes organically in my garden . This year I have 48 tomato plants growing . It's still too early for tomatoes , but when they are ready , my tomatoes have so much flavor that I don't want those tasteless plastic red things they sell as tomatoes in the supermarkets
You can get Tex Mex anywhere in America
I live in San Antonio. I love Texas. Been here for almost 20 years. Texas is truly America.
I love the way you have the camera set.
the reason the coffee cost more is because it has endless fills
San Antonio home of The Alamo
You have to squeeze fresh lemon wedges in your sweet tea!
Oh those tacos look SO DAMN GOOD !
All Mexican and Tex Mex foods are loved across America. You also can find great Italian food and Chinese foods. These foods were some of our first foods that became restaurants across the country.
Tacos have subtle, regional flavors that are different in each state. My favorite chicken comes from "El Pollo Loco" franchises in California! There are also Native American tacos that differ greatly from Mexican tacos, they use flatbread of some kind instead of tortillas. Yum! Now I'm hungry!
When you come to America, come to San Diego. It's an amazingly beautiful city with lots to do and see. San Diego has an insane taco scene. My favorite is Not Not Tacos in Little Italy, downtown. It's owned by a local celebrity chef, San the Cooking Guy (look him up on CZcams). Gourmet tacos are a thing here. I've had tacos made with lamb, smoked brisket, wild boar, and of course the traditional stuff. San Diego is also the home of the California burrito, which has everything in it but the kitchen sink!
I'm from Wisconsin. We have thousands of local real taco spots.
Refried beans (usually smashed up pinto beans with lard to make it taste good and be properly unhealthy 😂)
Lard is a healthy fat. The lobbiest bribed the FDA and maligned lard, butter and beef tallow to promote their cheap chemically processed inflammatory seed oils and margarine
The Jarritos and Mexican Cokes are sold in grocery stores also. Both are very good.
There is Tex-Mex food all over America, and Mexican people and their restaurants, too. I'm from Chicago in the Midwest, and we have lots of great Mexican food everywhere.
Some places do specials on Tacos for like 12 tacos for $12. ( the price may vary ) but, when we get them, I'll eat 2 or 3 and my husband will eat the rest 😂
Tex-Mex is everywhere. Here in California and same with Texas, real Mexican tacos are shell and meat only, some cilantro and lime. Tex-Mex is the above with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, maybe guacamole, etc. Tex-Mex is the US saucing it up.
Yes, we have Tex-Mex in California and all over the US.
😂 Taco grease running clear down to your elbow - yup, that's a good taco!! 😋
Tex-Mex is a Texas version of Mexican food, usually soft flour tortillas and baked or fried ingredients, seasoned black beans. Cal-Mex is a California version, usually crispy corn tortillas with grilled and fresh ingredients, refried pinto beans. You can get Tex-Mex food in California and vise versa. It's about the ingredients.
I lived in Texas and it was always pinto beans. Never saw black beans served there. I do see black beans in parts of Mexico and from Cuba.
I am a native New Mexican and I cracked up at "Mex-Mex" *LOL*
Think about salsa on those tacos, Sir.
Andre, if you like beans (and I do too), you must try Mexican style beans, which I think are the best in the world. Pinto beans are cooked with garlic, onions, a ham hock or bacon, ancho chiles, jalapenos, oregano, cumin, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and beer! You can omit the beer if you want. Then later you can make them refried by letting them cook down so the liquid is gone and you mash them and add some cream or butter. Delicious!
I can't believe they don't have refried beans in Europe. I was going to make beef tacos today for dinner but decided to make chicken fried steak instead. Love Mexican food and cook it all the time here in Oregon.
As someone who lives in San Antonio we love tacos but we don’t do puffy tacos very often
It’s a blend of foods from Texas and Mexico . It doesn’t matter where you mix them together , even if it’s in Florida it’s Tex mex
My grandfather was from Texas and he called it Texarkana which meant Tex-Mex it's a different way of cooking different ways of flavoring the food it's absolutely wonderful I was born in California on my grandmother's side I'm 11th generation California and yes my favorite is Tex-Mex
Um, Texarkana is a city in Texas, it's not a food.
Yeah it’s on the border with Arkansas, hence the Tex-Arkana.
@@dgpatter thank you I appreciate that
I love tacos. Tacos are very popular in all the states. Love you channel !
In the American south, ALL iced tea is sweet tea.
More sugar than Coke.
not oil dripping. its from the contents of the taco. its called refried beans. Taco bell is tex mex style. Tex mex refers to type and style
I don’t think I’ve eaten at this particular restaurant but I have eaten in San Antonio! My favorite is Problamoes , or stuffed peppers !
Remember Andre the coffee is free refills so the prices for soft drinks sodas and coffee maybe a little more expensive because of the "free refills" Yes I love tacos of all different kinds.. Mexican style, Tex-Mex style - soft tortilla tacos, and also hard crispy tacos... Also portion sizes of the food plates in the USA are bigger size which is another reason why prices maybe a little bit higher. MORE food on your plate! Taco plates also you get a side of refried beans and also Mexican or Tex-Mex style rice so you get the tacos plus the two sides. The tortilla chips and salsa is free and included in your meal also.
Also our cup sizes tend to be larger than European countries.
@@donnaneville192 Yes
Andre thank You
Tex-Mex cusine isn't just a combination of Texas and Mexican.
It's evolved over time to be sure but stems from its own unique regional cusine that existed prior to either country.
Yes, California has Mexican and Tex-Mex food but it’s a little bit different. It’s like birria tacos and Baja fish tacos and etc. both state have Thai and Vietnamese and California has a bigger Asian food scene in the northern part then the southern part.
It seems like y'all have healthier food than us (San Antonio, Texas). We went to Cali last month. My spouse is a TexMexican Lol. He fell in love with yalls carne asada fries and the way yall make your tortillas there 😂
@@MsLhuntMartinez79
I only been to California once but my brother lives in San Jose area. It’s not cheap to visit California so I can’t say when I’ll be back there.
Tacos are everywhere and they all depend on where you go I love tacos I make my own and I make chicken tacos and burritos and chimichangas I love Mexican food I was raised in Arizona so I was close to the border!
I live in the Pacific Northwest in a town of around 25,000 people and we have probably a dozen VERY good Mexican restaurants. Call it Tex-Mex, or New Mexican, or Cali, it's all good.
"The coffee is more expensive than the tacos" welcome to Texas my friend 😂 im a big coffee drinker lol down here it is cheaper to buy whole beans and grind/roast them your self.(last longer also)
Tex-Mex is a style of food. It originated in Texas and takes Mexican influences and gives them a Texan style. You can have Tex-Mex all over the US but that doesn't mean it's as good as you can get it in Texas.
Refried beans aren't pretty, but they are packed with flavor! We have these puffy tacos in Iowa, its not just a Texas thing. If you ever have a chance to try tamales don't pass it up
Refried beans are delicious! One of my favorite breakfast tacos is eggs with refried beans and jalapeño salsa!!! 😋
In Texas, Charro beans are very popular too. These "cowboy beans" are not mashed but served whole, usually cooked with bits of barbecued beef brisket, garlic and onions - super yummy. I actually prefer Tex-Mex food to most traditional Mexican food. Texas Chili is to die for. Nothing like a beanless "bowl of red." We travel through TX at least once a year wintering over near the border where it's nice and warm.
We'll often make day trips across the border into Mexico as there are many things much cheaper in Mexico than in the US. We can get prescription drugs there for about 5% of what they cost in the US without a prescription too, so there's no need to see a doctor if you know what you need. Medical and dental and optical care is much cheaper there too. I had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted for only $80 including x-rays, and 2 injections in a state-of-the-art dental facility by a dentist who got his degree in a US dental school. Just the x-rays would have been more than that in the US. Many other things are cheap there too, such as: restaurant food, tequila, honey, vanilla, shrimp, etc. I get $2 shoeshines and my wife gets her hair done for only $6. The same lady's hairdo would cost $40-$50 here. You just need to know where to cross, as it can get dangerous at the wrong border crossings. We like crossing into Neuvo Progresso from TX and Los Algodones from Yuma, AZ as they are both super safe and friendly places. You should visit us one day.
I live in Redmond Oregon and the town is swamped with Mexican food, yes I love tacos.
Tacos are popular in every state.
$2.00 for coffee is cheap.
Those refried beans are called peruanas there a more yellow bean with a very buttery flavor very popular in Sonora and Baja California Mexico
You pay one price for the coffee and get free refills.
Some Californians claim that Cal-Mex food is healthier, with more of an emphasis on fish and avocados and more veggies. The beans are served whole, not refried. Tacos are crispier. The California version tends to use more garlic than Tex-Mex.
Texans say Tex-Mex puts more emphasis on the cheese - like with the cheese enchilada and meat sauce. According to some aficionados, you can tell the difference because Tex-Mex uses Hatch peppers in rellenos, while Cal-Mex food uses Anaheim. Also, some say California chips are thicker than their Texas counterparts.
Some just feel that Tex-Mex uses more processed foods, while Cal-Mex uses more fresh herbs and cheeses, lean steak and chicken. Others take exception to the processed statement, but do acknowledge that Tex-Mex foods are generally heavier.
Some note that black olives are found more commonly in Cal-Mex, but rarely in Tex-Mex. And they describe fish tacos as more of a California thing. They also say that in California, you will find a greater variety of cheeses, while in Texas, the emphasis is mostly on cheddar.
Many Tex-Mex experts say that Tex-Mex goes heavier on the cheese, and he adds that it also has deeper, richer flavors, and is spicier.
Lulus was next to a construction site and a freight yard plenty of clientele
Hey Andre, when commenters say this and that its mostly negative right? That's just politics! You are a tourist (by video right now of course) and have no obligation to agree or disagree with those comments. For every negative comment there are so many positive things. Even in strife America is still amazing and beautiful. So don't let negative's throw shadows on you fun...
