- Join us on this Puerto Escondido Street food tour! We are Jenny and Kevin two Mexican-Americans from Chicago traveling in Mexico in search of home.
Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca has easily been one of our favorite places in all Mexico. We have traveled here three times in one year and it keeps drawing us back. Every time we come back to Puerto Escondido so much has changed, there’s always new restaurants and businesses but what hasn’t changed much is its delicious street food.
Puerto Escondido is not specifically known for it’s street food but like many places in Mexico it has some stellar street tacos.
One of the challenges of this vlog is that Kevin is on a keto diet for now and we will show you some of our favorite spots and show you the challenges of not being able to eat carbs in places where tortillas are an essential part of our diet. If you are interested in learning more about how we manage keto in Mexico or traveling on keto make sure to leave a comment below.
We consider Puerto Escondido one of Mexico’s best beach destinations, DON’T MISS OUT on our guide to Mexico’s paradise.

I looove the realness. Both in you guys and the footage of the locals!
Thanks Ashley! 😊
Watching this as I scarf down a reuben sandwich and a chocolate eclair in Canada! 🤣🤣 I admire your willpower. I remember when I used to be as thin as Jenny in my younger years.
I, Kevin, love and miss Reuben sandwiches! Haven’t really seen those in Mexico! Saludos thanks for watching and commenting
Great video, thanks for the show!
Thanks! We are revamped and ready to provide more fun and informational videos.
Perfect timing. This is going to be useful for my trip to P.E. in a few weeks! Thanks 😊
Yay how exciting!! 🙌🏽 we might still be around then
@Eat Baila Travel It would be awesome to run into you guys if you're still in town. My husband and I are also Mexican-Americans from California and love to eat, travel, and salsa dance! We will be there during the last week of March.
All the food looks amazing! Wow!
🌮😋hey Hannah! ☺️
Great formula on this video. Enjoyed the interaction from the locals, night life and delicious looking food which had me almost get off my keto as well.
Thanks, Gary! You can do it!! 💪🏽
Street food - YES! We're so here for it!
🌮 omg we were watching your Instagram and it looks amazing!
@@EatBailaTravel Aw, THANKS! Yeah, the cruise was SO fun!
Gracias por el video 😊
Gracias a ti, Daysi, por apoyarnos 😊
Loved this video!
Thanks, Sue! ☺️
Nice! Love this one. Street food is the real food in Mexico. So many amazing flavors and prices. We didn’t get to experience much in PE but next time this will be our guide! Been there with the keto diet. Lost 90 lbs! Stick with it! Love the interactions you have I t his one and the dancing! Sign me up for the churros and pastor!
Thank you guys! Next time y’all
Come maybe we can give y’all the Eat Baila travel tour! Lol hope you guys are well. Un abrazo 🤗 saludos!
I’ve walked past that churro vender a couple of times. She wasn’t there. Hopefully she’s open next time I go by. Those look amazing! 🔥🔥🔥👍🏼
Hopefully you get to try them they’re only there in the evenings!
All of the food looks delicious and Puerto Escondido looks like a great little town, very pretty.
Puerto Escondido is one of the favorite places in all of Mexico and that’s because of its food, culture and safety.
Yes! Would absolutely enjoy more keto content
Sounds good!
Hey you two!!! Those tacos definitely look delicious. One day soon will come and try out the street food out there.
Hey Rita! Are you coming to PE anytime soon?? 😯 Kevin had mentioned you might be coming
OMG..what a great video guys. I’m looking at tickets now. Lol. Haven’t been there since 2019.
Kevin, you’re on a Keto diet in Mexico??!!! That is pure dedication my brother. Excellent video again, so many familiar sites. In fact, this is a great area to eat for cheap cheap.
The pandemic inflation here is just as bad as it has been in the US, so we’re all about finding the good, cheap eats!
Keto is hard in Mexico in general but the variety of fresh foods here in Puerto definitely help make it a little easier!
Great solution for the leftover tortillas! Exactly what we were thinking.🥂
Yes, Firulais deserves to eat, too! 😆
My husband and I have been trying keto several times. However it's so hard I can't imagine doing keto while in Mexico. We been planning to go to MX and having a plan we lose weight here on the states so we can gain it in Mexico. 😆Saludos de NYC
We used to prepare for trips the exact same way hahaha! Then when it came to traveling long term we realized, yea, that’s not gonna work this time! Living and eating in Mexico has been the healthiest we’ve ever been. It’s possible to eat amazing food and stay healthy/fit!
@@EatBailaTravel,
The food in Mexico is better and healthier… 🇲🇽
15:08 I was like, Wait, what? Kevin surfs? I mean he was so passionate about how surfing is in the blood. But then he brought all back to reality! LOL!!!🤣
haha we've taken a couple lessons but have yet to catch a wave on our own!
11:48 ALL THAT for THREE DOLLARS AND THIRTY CENTS is incredible!!! In America that would cost $20 for THREE!
And on top of that amazing food!
Looks delicious
😋
OMG, I'm glad you gave those tortillas to the street doggie.... nothing goes to waste, right! I really enjoy food vlogs/videos, those are the best, thank you,
Nothing goes to waste! Thank for the comment we’re currently working 🤤on another food Vlog
Saludos
Don’t know why on the Churros, but I like 👍 the vids you guys post!!! Good vibes from L.A.
What’s that about the churros? Lol
How bout a vid on the bar’s of P.E.? & what’s all this buzz I hear about PEPE’s Tacos 🌮?
@@ricardomorales3096 that’s a good idea! Pepe’s tacos are legendary. A video idea for next time as well
Good luck on the Keto diet 💪 👍 😀
Haha thank you! 3 weeks and counting!
Actually, I think hearing about the struggle of a keto diet would be legit!
The struggle is real! But since we’ve been in puerto two months I think I’ve gotten in a good groove.
So hungry now! Looks amazing!!! Can’t wait to get down there! Keto 🤢 haha
we may need to insert some "viewer discretion is advised" warnings at the beginning of these food vlogs.. "do not watch hungry" hahaha
Hello I chated with you guys last year.
I went last year in February and was very amazed
I stayed near Zicatela and visited Playa Angelito, Muzunte, and Zipolite.
Also checked out La Punta and that night swap meet you went to.
I will go again in February 2023.
I want to visit that street food place..
Please give me the streets .
Also that other taco place you ate at.
The churros too.
Thanks take care.
Hi Richard! So glad you loved Puerto Escondido 😊❤️
- The street tacos (barbacoa) are on Calle Segunda Norte between Calle 2a Pte and Calle Primera Pte (here's an approximate Google map pin goo.gl/maps/kjea7437MqoeSEk9A)
- Tacos El Rey goo.gl/maps/hEasDZtA66XcYvYg7
- The churros were on the main road (la carretera costera) near the Chedraui
Perfect I will definitely check out El Rey Taco.
I just Googled them .
I'm staying across from Playa Zicatela but I don't care to eat around there I'm very interested experience s more local vibe.
Thanks so very much 😊
You need a video teaching us gringos to order street food
That’s not a bad idea! Rule number one…. 😂 saludos Doug we hope all is well!
I tried a dozen of Al Pastor Places - Tacos el Rey is the Best! 🌮⬆️
They really are!! 🤤miss ya Marc!
Greetings from Chicago!! My husband and I are heading to PE in April. Do you have a video with suggestions for nightlife in PE?? Gracias!!
Hey Erlinda! We have a "where to dance in PE" in the works, so that will feature nightlife specific to latin dancing :)
At 14:11 the little toddler wanted to go solo to playa principal but mama said ‘where do you think you’ re going’ ‘vengase paca’ 🤣😂
Lmao we got lucky with some fun footage of family shenanigans haha

taqueria pachequin bro, in lazaro. Pastor al natural that is friggen unreal. I won't go to leyva anymore jeje
Gonna check it out today! We don't go to Leyva it's not as good as other spots that's for sure.
Go to Las Grutas de Tolantongo in the state of Hidalgo.
Some day!
Keto in Mexico...that's some strong willpower.
It really does take some serious willpower! It’s so tough man 😩
TACOS EL REY 🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 fire fam 🔥
Excellent video!
I want to eat street tacos on the beach in La Punta with a bucket of cervesas on ice.
Is there a place on the beach like that in La Punta? I'd never leave
There are restaurants and bars on the beach in La Punta yea, but I'd also recommend the bucket of beers and tacos at Playa Carrizalillo or Bahia Principal. More local vibes 😉
If the Trompo is outside, it's Street Food....if the Trompo is inside, it's not Street Food....this place it looks like the Trompo is on the step, half in, half out...it's like its riding the fence and refusing to be labelled. Hell with it, it's TACOS AL PASTOR and that is a food group all its own! 🤣🤣 Love seeing you guys put out some more awesome food content (even if you have to slip your tortillas the the dog under the table) 🤙🤙💖💖
Hahaha we always look forward to your comments Kattie & Chris!
At 12:22 I was afraid you were going to back up into that boy, I wanted to yell ‘aguas’ but you guys avoided a collision 😲
😂yea it was a close one!!
Cutest couple on CZcams, for sure! I know I’m a year late- but if you get another opportunity to do a video of traveling in Mexico while eating ketogenic with ease, I would love to see it.
Aw thank you 🥹 We’ll be back in Mexico this year and do keto on and off so a video like that will definitely be in the works! 🤗
I just want to visit just for the street food. Can you live as a tourist on street food only? Like, from a budget standpoint, is it doable?
It can be done! But it’s not usually the healthiest food so depending on how long you’re traveling I wouldn’t ONLY eat street food 😅 but street food + buying groceries while on vacation could work!
Gringas are delicious! I had them for the first time in years in Amealco, so indulgent and cheesy…I need to get on this Keto diet, got the covid 15 going on..😂
We discovered these about a year ago... faithful go-tos ever since! that's why keto eventually became necessary haha
@@EatBailaTravel oh yeah, that’s a good move for sure!
Jenny is all, "Sucks to be you, give me a Churro" 🤣🤣
💯% 😜😅
Churros; every now and then you will see/pass a mobile vendor selling them. Have to keep a keen eye out. It's like hitting a Jackpot when it happens.🤤
Seriously! We’re working on a part 2 of this street food vlog that includes our favorite mobile cart.. it’s not churros! Can’t wait to show you this one!!
@@EatBailaTravel That's good news! The internet needs this video. I wonder if your favorite cart is the same one we're thinking of...looking forward to finding out.
I ate churros and porras (like a churro but thicker), as a child in Spain. I believe they originated from there. We found the closest thing to a Spanish churrería in Mexico, in San Miguel de Allende. The chocolate and churros were just like Spain. The churros here in Mexico are sweeter.
Interesting! Thank you so much for sharing. Where in San Miguel did you have churros? We went to a spot that we loved and made sure to include it our video we wonder if it’s the same place. The churros El Moro in Mexico City are the closest ones we’ve had to the ones in Spain. We miss those delicious churros from San Miguel they’ve been our favorite so far.
Damn those first tacos!!! But exactly how do you need to be on keto? Great video!!
Gotta go back without this keto depriving me of tortillas. Keto is a diet in which I can’t consume more than 30-40 grams of carbs and pretty much consume healthy fats, lots of greens and protein.
It makes the body use fat as an energy source instead of carbs
Oh man I have been looking for a churro here for over a month. I gotta find her!
Glad to have helped! We started to search because some hostel couple really wanted to some churros and we went out to find them because we were sure PE offered them.
Creo que se miran cada día más joven
Son una pareja muy agradable
Haha gracias es Que nos bañamos’
Dialogarconlahistoria- gracias!! Muchos saludos!
I think this is a better direction to take your channel. Travel videos are abundant and honestly, it's not cheap to do some of the items that are on there. I would rather see videos of what locals do and eat and where locals recommend staying as that is more in line with what living in Mexico is all about on budget incomes. Food stands and Mercados are great - but give a map of their location as well. Street tours can be helpful too.
How does one get their Driver's License is the video I've been waiting for. Followed by buying a vehicle, and registering with perhaps the options of registering in another state that is cartel neutral.
Thanks for sharing your input! Saving your comment in my notes for future reference 🙂 the driver's license vlog is one we've been pondering - the process varies from state to state but we can definitely share our experience with it. Thanks for the nudge - we will get right on it!
Ok - Kev' saying "no tortillas" is making me (Stephen) feel a little better about my "no beans, no sour cream, no guac" issues. 😜 That's gotta be tough for ya, but you're lookin' slim, dude! And yeah, the graffiti AND the dog are perfect backdrop for a street food vlog! Dang, you're really testing this vegetarian here. I'd have to make up for it with triple the amount of churros. Btw Jenny - that's just cruel of you to enjoy those when he can't! 😊
LOL yes to all of this haha! I had to enjoy it for both of us, y’know? 😁 I’ve been on a “no red meat” streak for a few weeks and this was worth breaking it for… 😅
Any sea food, like in Cali Colombia?.
There’s lots of seafood but different countries have different flavors
I saw Jenny on a scooter along Rincolnada 4 days ago. Kevin was not around, I missed my big chance.
Hahaha nice try buddy…
Where was the 60$ peso Birria tacos??
Centro 1era norte y segunda poniente
Give the leftover tortillas to your hungry buddy!
Of course!
Stick with the Keto, the abs WILL come. You can do it!
The 2 years we ate Keto were the leanest we've ever been.
Wow 2 whole years?? 😧 I can barely do a month. Did you noticed a difference when you started eating carbs again?
@@EatBailaTravel Eating Keto is like working out-the first month is the hardest and then it becomes easier after that. Time flies you will be through the first month in a blink of an eye.
@@EatBailaTravel Yes, when we started eating carbs again we noticed these differences; psychological satisfaction, return to energy swings (up and down due to spiking blood sugar levels)-on Keto our energy level was very constant throughout the day. And the last difference-return of the muffin-tops. We eat far less carbs overall now after our keto experience-Lori does better with carbs being naturally slim but I (Ayr) don't, so I eat like 5 tortillas in a month now.
Hey everyone: Jenny & Kevin now have 15 patrons on Patreon. If you are not one of the 15, can you help get them to 20 so they have more resources to produce these videos?Also, now I am wondering which would be harder in Mexico: keto or vegan? 🐂🐖🐐 or 🍌🥥🥑?
Thanks, Steve! ☺️always inviting others to join us for the behind the scenes fun on Patreon! 😊
We’ve met lots of people on vegan and vegetarian diets here in Puerto Escondido. I think the tropical parts of Mexico definitely help vegan diets be a great option thanks to the variety of fruits and veggies 🥗
OK, so I guess Papa Tots is off the itinerary? Not exactly keto (or even healthy), but they have great junk food. A good breakfast option that you might not have tried is Cafe Nopal (in Baccocho). We loved sitting on the roof and having breakfast.
Hi Dan, we hear so many great things about Papa Tots so we might give it a shot. We will definitely try Cafe Nopal soon! thanks for the suggestion by the way we will have Patreon Sneak Peak at another Street food item. We are currently working on the subtitles for it.
Y’all making that driver’s license video yet?
We might but we’re also concerned the process might be different for every state so we wouldn’t like to mislead people. We only have it for Oaxaca
A couple of questions for you: 1) Keto's been pretty popular for a while. I wonder if anybody selling food in that part of Mexico has heard of the keto diet--have you ever tried asking the vendor if they know about it? Or maybe if there's a local gym or trainer, ask them if they have any tips for you when it comes to finding keto meals in town. 2) Have you already lost some weight? You look like maybe you have. Good luck! (And the video looked fine.)
And if you have trouble hitting the "abs" goal, just find an "abs" t-shirt that's the male equivalent of the one behind you at 14:35. Hopefully you left yourself a loophole!
These are all great questions Chuck! We are going to use them to help develop our outline for the keto diet vlog. Thank you so much for this comment this is gold!
Hahaha no t-shirt though I gotta make sure I get the abs even if I have to spray pain them lol
@@EatBailaTravel 😂
I don’t know if you’ll see this but where can I find the churro spot ? I’m in puerto right now lol
You’re in luck! Seeing this now. Let’s hope you’re even luckier and that those churros are still there and at this hour 😅
But churros we’re at the main high way (la carretera costera) at the intersection near the Chedraui. Right next to the Monumento a Benito Juarez (this is on Google maps so that’s what I’d search to get there). Hope you find them!
Hi! They set themselves up on La costera and Avenida Oaxaca in the afternoons
@@EatBailaTravel thank you so much 🙏🏾🙏🏾 would it be possible to like drop a pin of it from google maps? Because I literally have no clue where that is 😂
@@EatBailaTravel maybe a landmark I can use as reference? Gonna go there tomorrow
Two blocks south of Chedraui on the main road.
Where is the first taco spot?
Centro, i believe we mention the name of the streets in the video
Will $1000 dollars be enough for just activities and food in puerto Escondido for a week?
For one person yes and with that you’ll be filled with activities throughout the week
@@EatBailaTravel thank you for the response! Yeah just one person
@@PraisePelumi for sure when are you coming!?
@@EatBailaTravel i heard November to march is the best time to come. So I was thinking of coming maybe early 2023. January or February.
@@EatBailaTravel finally here 😂 I’m puerto right now, where exactly is the churro spot lol
la buena barbacoa es de borrego, y la birria es de chivo!
Todos dicen algo diferente, otros dicen que la barbacoa es de res. Ya ni sabemos haha al fin al cabo muy rico los tacos.
What day do they sell tacos de barba
I believe they were there every day except Thursday (or Wednesday) one of those
@@EatBailaTravel gracias u still out there. I will try it out thank u. Keep posting
@@carlosestrada7612 we’re in Querétaro right now but will return to PE later this year
You know the food is good because his wife almost dropped the F bomb to compliment how good the tacos are are. Pobre esposo. Lol
Hahaha yea I think we left out the part of her cursing or we silenced it! 😂
Where's the location and nameplease?
Which food?
@@EatBailaTravel en donde no tuvieron barbacoa de chivo. Gracias!!
Nice. Just stay away from all the vegetable oils on Keto. Also check your APA/E Gene. If you have a certain Gene its actually very toxic for your body. Ever consider carnivore with fruits? I did both diets and we are all different but I felt so much better on the meat and fruits over Keto. Blood tests much better too.
Hi Dale! I have never hear of this gene situation before but I have been looking into adjusting it to a better balanced lifestyle. Especially because mango season is coming to Mexico and it’s my favorite season. Of all the carbs I am starting to add fruits, lessening my cheese intake and sticking to proteins, greens and fruits right before working out
My first time in Mexico i was vegan. Never again.
Yea that's gotta be tough
You like PE over Sayulita?
Oh yea. Definitely!
pr໐๓໐Ş๓ 👀
O.K. What kind of diet are you on and if she's got you on it why isn't she doing it as well !
I am on a Keto diet but it was my decision to jump on it so I am owning up to it.
Why are you on a diet man??
In Puerto Escondido I am very active I play a lot of basketball, volleyball, soccer, and so I surf a lot so I just want to be in the best shape to perform all of those activities.
Wait why are you surprised about the meat quality in Oaxaca? Lmao tf😂
Cause it’s meat quality hasn’t been the best in Oaxaca
@@EatBailaTravel lmaoooo that’s crazy, every time I go I always see the best quality, maybe it’s where you guys go? Girl you gotta go to the pueblitos, the food will never disappoint.
You guys should do the diet together and take her to the gym to tone up. Its more fun doing it together and her genetics will only keep her skinny for so long.
Whoa whoa Jenny gonna do what Jenny want to do. Lol we ain’t forcing no one into something they might not want. She’s perfectly fine the way she is to me as long as she’s happy. 😉
JaJa! Buena respuesta compa! Dood is implying that she’s gonna get fat. Not cool.
Hi, Jenny here 🙂 no offense taken though I’m just seeing Kevin’s reply a whole year later (which super sweet btw thanks babe). I wish skinny genes were a thing in my family. They’re not 😅 I’ve tried on many occasions to lift weights and build muscle but my fibromyalgia makes that really difficult. I do A LOT of physical therapy and pain management. I really hope to be able to build muscle without it triggering fibro pains 💪🏽
Why is she surprised that the caldo had meat everywhere in the world when you order it comes with some carne or fat if you're lucky.
That's cause we ordered consume not caldo and normally when we have ordered consume it raraly incldues meat but this surprise was a delicious one! Saludos!
@@EatBailaTravel same shit lmao you act like it's rare I always get it in tijuas but whatever haha
