Hey there world travelers. Hey there. I'm Tanya and I'm Dave, and we are Turn it up
World. Welcome to . . . Austin Texas!
We got the bright sunshine in our face here we are back in Austin Texas it's
really nice to be home for a hot minute you got the music playing in the
background we actually just got back from Mexico City and if you guys should
definitely check out that seriously sure it was a lot of fun oh it's awesome yeah
course you come back to Austin we kind of crave some of that tasty tex-mex
absolutely right and so right now we're at a very popular hot spot called
Valentina's Tex Mex barbecue yeah it's awesome I'm totally excited they have
some great they have a great breakfast taco they did I'm really excited to try
yeah and you have to knock out these specific you breakfast is basically
served from 7:30 to 11:30 11:00 shark shark yeah we found that out the hard
way we came here about 11:30 one time and no missing by like a hair but it was
like oh my gosh but it's not 6:00 and months you're 7 - a problem yes so now
we finally made it we're here bright and early for this and I am Super's up to
try some of this oh you're definitely going for these real-deal Holyfield oh
yeah Brett pizza's done so this is actually the starting point
of the line for the breakfast tacos coming here if you will line up
generally it can go is that around the corner but what's interesting is you
have to get here remember we mentioned before it's 11 o'clock sharp
it is definitely 11 o'clock sharp so apparently what happens is the folks
inside they know when that marker needs to be hit so if you're here say you're
here at 10 o'clock we here at 10:15 and you think you have a shot of getting
a breakfast taco just look for someone in line that's holding up a sign that
says I'm the last person no more after me no more breakfast tacos after me and
then they'll let you know that you're not going to be getting a breakfast taco
that day
I'm Miguel Vidal we're here at Valentino's Tex Mex barbecue and off in
South awesome in chocolate rope the food here is based off my family's cooking
I'm from San Antonio I grew up in the restaurant some age of 15 to you know
worked anywhere all from buses dishwasher to kitchen to GM dart at all
but I wanted to be able to showcase kind of how I grew up and so I've taken all
my knowledge of the restaurants and be able to kind of bring that backyard
barbecue feeling at home cooking and try and give it like
quality and make sure that it's always insisting but the biggest thing is to
share my family is kind of we had will be my family and that's that too here
Miguel story behind his famous Austin Texas breakfast taco after this video
click the link in the description that's what you gotten I'm definitely going for
the real deal Holyfield aren't you I'm going for that real deal sure like dr.
Dre says nothing but the truth
okay you're ready I am definitely ready I think they're deaf talk before these
puppies get too cold we should dive oh right
look at this thing this is a monster I gotta try to see if I can get this thing
all in wow that's so good yeah that is really really good I love I love the
brisket mine was the bacon oh the flavor is amazing yeah this is
really really good oh and I feel I don't think I've like
barely touched the egg so far like a big little lot going on there yeah you can
tell and it's really heavy and heavy I mean just that you write the egg if kind
of nineties it's not like a it's an overeasy egg so I what you get into it
you're gonna get this yeah and I haven't broken the egg I'm ready to take a bite
there we go look at that monster oh you're right I don't even know how to
start you like it that's amazing that is so the jam packed full of flavor
I'm gonna see if that was we could have shared one there was so big that's true
we could have actually sure yeah we were in Mexico City doing our kind of
challenge yeah they're definitely shared ib9 bucks that would basically wipe us
out to cut it in quarters exactly breakfast lunch and dinner and
dessert and dessert one other thing I want to mention so you
guys can actually have sauces on there some types of sauces we've got the
barbecue sauce is that the really spicy sauce which is a green chili habanero
yeah but we chose to not because there was so much flavor in that brisket alone
yeah you didn't mean to me it was juicy and I have any spice to it as well I
think in that uh that salsa they put on their restaurant Oh salt the tomato
salsa you have some spice in it yeah it's nice yeah and that kind of gave it
a little bit more about confident cuz we like sunny through here we love spice
but I am duh stucco by oh yeah oh yeah so that about does it for us here at
Valentina's tex-mex what do you think of it what do you think of it
now we're off to a parade and festival riot which is awesome people have beat
up parade which is very cool yes the 36th annual viva la vita period in
Austin Texas here we're back from Mexico City so we thought hey what better thing
to do let's go too afraid that's kind of a apparently the parade has already
started you know but we're towards the end of the parade so we have some time
which is good we have some time we have to kind of worry about figuring out the
dry potty everything set up here yeah we want to shoot so that actually buys us
some time to really capture some good footage here but it's exciting yeah I'm
excited it's just tons and tons of crowds people dressed up you know Day of
the Dead festivities here in Austin Texas oh my gosh the cutest little kids
coming by with their faces rather than their long white gowns and what we want
to mention too is that this is just really a celebration of life and also
celebration of death not the morning of death of loved ones for more of a
celebration for the loved ones which I find that to be really spiritual and
just pretty amazing I it is amazing I'm excited for music festivities yeah
amazing floats back off gonna be dying to see what kind of creations they have
today
now Dave and I were honored and excited to be a part of the 36th annual Viva la
Vida parade here in Austin Texas you celebrating Dia de los Muertos or our
Day of the Dead this traditional Mexican holiday is a
celebration of life and death from the artfully painted faces the vivid and
colorful costumes to the enchanting sounds and dances honoring the souls
rest you can see why this festival of remembrance embraces the cycle of life
all right so we're about to try in a Lotte here in the streets of Austin a
little bit of Mexico City front to Austin so I should be fun yeah I've got
what does it got in there like the corn oh it's spicy so all kinds of sauces I
think have to finish it off with a little lime sauce with the shop let's
see what you think oh yeah all right a little bit a little
mix of everything dynasty days reactions because this is not like you know the
traditional I'm not making a mess Wow
ribs almost like the cheese's on a feta like I was like a feta cheese they taste
the corn in there definitely the chilli sauce so it's spicy the corn do you kind
of like that that kind of vibe yo Mexico City for my little Peruvian more and
more combat the Incas yeah so much is uh not so much our sweet corn mmm yeah I'm
gonna try this the fact that you just did not say like oh my gosh it was so
good makes me know no sense let's say look
it's an acquired taste for me you're right it's not bad I think I probably
could have done without the lime juice I think the lime juice is really tart
overpowering yeah I think it's a bit overpowering I like the spice for sure
you're right the corn doesn't have much of that's what sweet faces are yeah kind
of yeah and of course with the cheese but I mean it's you're right it's not
bad overall what do you think of this well what do you think it is just okay
you could not have asked for a better day yeah what a great festival great
parade yeah really
hey so we made it to the gym man house gingerbread her gender laughs yeah it's
kind of funny does Samus sound like a little like gingerbread house right but
it's ginger LAN house and it's really cool it's kind of like a corporate
Center it looks like it was once upon a time a farm and they're doing all kinds
of cool things yeah that 57 acres and you can kind of fish on it
you can camp on it that is great which is pretty cool maybe have to try this
try that means they even have a little air B&B pockets that but they're turning
into yeah like I think they're remodeling or building a new house or
and making their air BnB so that's pretty cool
