Hello Tangerineys from Bernal, Queretaro. Yes we have been in this pueblo mágico before but
today is special because we're meeting up with some new friends of ours. You
might actually know them from the big screen
The big, big one. The big screen, bigger than this screen that you're probably watching us on
right now. We just came to one of the most popular spots in Bernal called "Gorditas..." what's it called?
El Negrito. El Negrito. "Gorditas El Negrito"
that's what it's called. And i really like it, I had the deshebrada, carne deshebrada.
Which was really good. I also had the chicharron prensado, meh.
I think I liked that the most of everybody at the table. I don't know why. I was saying "I don't know what's in this, but I'm not going to ask either."
[Laughs]
So today we're actually hanging out with a couple new friends. We have Jorge and Ana Lucia
They're actually from Colombia and they're actors. You might recognize Ana Lucia
from a recent Netflix show called Who Killed Sara in English or in Spanish
Quién Mató A Sara? Is that right?
So the one who killed Sara was... [Laughter]
So basically you guys know by now that what we have to compare Mexico to is the United States
because that's where we're from. But since they're from Colombia we thought we would
ask them what do they think of the differences in the culture between Colombia and Mexico. Yeah!
Well, we believe there are a lot more similarities between Colombia and Mexico, but there are some small differences.
For example, Colombians don't eat such spicy food. No, there's not so much spicy food.
And we speak much faster than Mexicans, as you can already see. But we as Colombians living here for 7 years
I can assure you that we feel, as Colombians, that it's like living in Colombia.
We are so close, we're so similar culturally. The music - do you guys like mariachis? Yes!
And tequila ... A lot! A lot! We love tequila!
There are mariachis and tequila in Colombia? Yes, of course. In fact, my serenade - we have been married for 12 years
My serenade for the day before the wedding, which is the style in Colombia, was with Mariachis.
Wow, I didn't know that! Mexico and Colombia ... it's like a single nation.
We feel super Mexican! [Laughter] And one more thing that we were talking about are the idioms (and slang).
And for us, it's difficult to travel to some states in Mexico because there are unique idioms.
But it's worse between Colombia and Mexico, right? Of course! There are many words that we use for certain things.
In Mexico, they are used for other things. And sometimes it's very amusing and funny. I'll give you an example...
"Chaqueta" [Laughter] You guys Google what "Chaqueta" is in Colombia and what is "Chaqueta" in Mexico.
[Laughter] Well, in Colombia we say "I'm going to take (coger) a taxi. " And in Mexico, they say "I"m going to take (tomar) a taxi."
Because here "coger" is taken as a bad word. And in Colombia it's simply a word for "agarrar, tomar" "cachar" Like I'm going to catch.
So when you got to Mexico... "Cogiamos" a lot. And they scolded us! Did you say to anyone "How can I coger (fuck) a taxi?"
Brother... through the exhaust. [Laughter] How funny. Yes, yes.
So we went to that place called "gorditas el negrito"
And then we were walking around town and I saw "panaderia el negrito" and now we're at a terrace
Bendito Sabor Del Negrito
Another "El Negrito". So what i'm coming to learn is that this little black guy
owns like half the city. Oh my gosh! [Laughs] You know what I'm wondering though, because we learned that... Are you
holding this? Yeah. I'm wondering though because we learned that... I thought it was blue corn
that the gorditas were made out of, but it's black corn. So "negrito", does that mean like a gordita that's little and black?
Or like the little... I mean it does have a little black kid out in front and that's part of the logo but
could it also be the corn thing? Maybe! You might be right. You might be onto something. Also don't come
for me in the comments. It's literally called that and that is basically how it's translated. That is the exact translation.
It's weird for me to say that and I still got crap. But it's not offensive in Mexico. It's weird to me, but that's what it is, okay?
Don't come for me. [Laughs] So I have heard before that this panaderia, panaderia abril, has the best pan de queso in all of Bernal.
It certainly smells amazing! Can you guys smell that? It smells incredible!
Anytime we come to Bernal or Tequisquiapan, we have to go to Queseria Vaca Feliz
because this place is amazing and you get to try all kinds of different cheeses.
You know i'm sure there's other places that you can try cheese. I mean queretaro is known for
cheese making and whatnot. But we literally always come to la vaca feliz because it makes it so
happy. And you get to try all of them and it's super good! Like super high quality cheese and then
we end up fighting over who gets to eat it afterwards [laughs].
Hello, good afternoon!
Do you guys make all these products here in the store? Yes, it's made here!
Oh wow, wow! That's incredible! I bring the skeins and the wool and we make the products once they're dry.
Oh wow! Yes. Thank you sir!
So we're back here in a handicraft market.
Of course, where else are you going to find me? They've got all of this yarn of... i think
sheep or lana? Is that sheep? Oveja. Wool? Where does wool even come from? I don't know.
We should probably ask. But gosh there's just so much here! It's like... Seriously! How could they ever
ever ever use all of this? Yeah there's just piles and piles of rugs and all kinds of runners and
um thread and fabric. Well and we've been to Bernal before but i've never actually seen
so many guys back there like using those big machines, pulling it back and forth, weaving it
in and out of there. I could probably sit there for an hour and watch them do that.
In fact, that would be a really cool time lapse but we don't have the time to lapse, unfortunately. [Laughs]
You're funny sometimes. I try. Not really, it just comes out.
And here it all is. Piles and piles. Wow! And these are like blankets. So that back there was yarn,
and these are like blankets, or rugs or tapestries. I bet if you want affordable blankets or
something to decorate your house, this is where you're gonna find it. You know what? I actually...
Like the first time I saw these, I was like "oh it's kind of a chunky, big yarn thing." and
now i'm like "I could see that being in my apartment." One of these like super colorful
and especially the one with the tangerine accents all throughout it.
You guys have lived in Mexico for what? 7 years you said? Almost 7 years.
Okay, so you're almost Mexicans, right? [Laughter] Mexicans at heart. Have you visited the "Pueblos Mágicos" (Magic Towns) before?
Yes. Some, yes. But it's our first time here in Peña De Bernal. It's spectacular! Like which ones (have you visited)?
Tepoztlan. Tepoztlan in Morelos. And another that's by the Teotihacan Pyramids.
Oh, yes. What's another magic town? We stayed in Cancun, an amazing "Pueblo Magico". [Laughter]
We were in, well, next to Guadalajara there's a magic town called Tlaquepaque.
Ah yes! Tlaquepaque! Yes, I love that one! Oh really? It's really nice for buying lots of handicrafts.
I think all of Mexico is a place to visit. And you're love of esquites started in Tlaquepaque.
And did you guys know that we visited Tlaquepaque before it was a "magic town".
Oh, really? Very good. And when did the magic happen? They're named "magic towns". The government says "(this is a) magic town."
Yes. But Tlaquepaque has magic. And here, it's all beautiful!
I love it here! This is a very pet friendly pueblito. Look at this little dog with his bow!
Awe! Why don't we put bows in Laska's fur?
Maddie has always wanted to dress up Laska like for halloween and things
i'm like "no, that's just being a bad pet parent." No, that's adorable! [Laughs] You know the great thing is
though, she and i are basically the same size so i have dressed her up in my clothes before. Oh yeah i
put my shirt on her as well so maybe i've been a bad pet parent. She doesn't really like either of
those things. Well it appears that we might have a flat tire or a nail in the tire or something so
we're using this little portable tire pump that we plug into the cigarette lighter. We pump it up to
hopefully get to costco so that they can check. We bought these tires from costco so fingers crossed
they're under warranty and they can do some type of patch job or something. So we got to costco and
thankfully still have plenty of air left in our tires so it must be a slower leak. So now we're
here at the "venta de llantas" trying to make an appointment to hopefully get it fixed today.
I really don't want to come back here to get a broken tire fixed another day but we'll see.
I'd like an appointment, hopefully soon. I just ran out of appointments. I have some for tomorrow but that's all.
I have appointments at 4 or 5pm tomorrow. What do you think? 4. Okay, at 4. That'll be okay?
Okay so unfortunately they didn't have any more appointments today and we had to make one for tomorrow.
It sounds like it's going to be free of charge. Now we have to just decide if we're going to leave our
car here overnight or take it back and then back again. But we'll see. One problem that i
guarantee you're going to run into when you come to mexico is that you come here and
you're totally overwhelmed by everything because everything's different, but that's not the problem.
The problem is you go back to your hotel room or your airbnb at the end of the night and you
just want to relax, go to your favorite websites, watch shows, or whatever. And all of your favorite
websites are going to be in spanish. And now with some it's easy to just scroll down the bottom and
click your option for english but others make this really difficult or impossible. But one way around
this is to use a vpn. A vpn allows you to virtually change your location so with a click of a button
you can be located back into many cities within the us or many other cities around the world. If
you'd like to check out our favorite vpn you can go to tangerinevpn.com that's our affiliate link
and we'll take you right to their website. Right now they're running a sale it's 83% off plus three
extra months free. Again that's tangerinevpn.com. I wanted to try tacos de tripa. I've been wanting
to try them for a while. They're intestine tacos and i'm told the best tacos de tripa in the city
are in the lomas del marques area at this place called tacos el guero. So let's go check it out.
Okay so this place is fast! I ordered and two minutes later, literally two minutes my food
is in front of me. And i was looking at the menu, I noticed they have a lot of tacos or a
few different tacos you don't see everywhere. Like they have lengua, which is tongue. They have
ojo, which is eye. And I don't think i've seen ojo tacos anywhere. They also have cachete
which is cheek. And from my extensive wikipedia research
tacos de tripa is made from small intestines of farm animals that are like cleaned and washed and
then grilled. And i got... she asked if i wanted them "dorada." I got them "dorada". I don't know what
the other option is besides dorada but maybe you can let me know in the comments below if you know.
Alright i guess i'm just gonna squeeze a little bit of lime on and then dig in. Since this is what
i came here to show you i'm gonna just go ahead and try the tripa. Alright, here it goes.
Just don't think about what you're eating.
okay
So with this salsa it's a little bit spicy and i'm having trouble tasting anything but that. But i can
taste the texture and i i can tell that there's some different texture in there
that's normally not there. Excuse me, I need a drink.
But you know, honestly, if i didn't know i was eating intestine tacos
i would just think i was eating just a regular taco. But give it another try.
okay
that bite wasn't as spicy and i could actually taste something. But yeah there's a little bit
of crunch maybe that's the "dorada" part of it but i think it's pretty good, i'd get it again. Let me try the lengua.
The tongue. I've had lengua before and i actually really liked it. It's a super lean meat!
It's usually more expensive than the others but i think it's well worth it and i usually get it.
Very good! I'm gonna have to come back to this place for sure! I was just looking
at the logo for Tacos El Guero and it looks like the Pringles man on a freaking taco! Look at this!
Wow, so when i got to this place at 7:00 pm there was not a single person in there and since they
were so fast i was actually out of there by 7:15. And by the time i was leaving, almost every table
was full. So i'm guessing by mexican dinner time, by like 8 p.m, this place is packed. On the screen here
