in this video I'll compare three different types of best tacos in Playa del Carmen the tourist
Taco a neighborhood taco and a Mexican Street Taco watch to the very end and let me know which type
of Mexican tacos you would choose first up we hit Don sirloin a popular chain restaurant noted by
several travel bloggers for seven dollars we got three tacos with many fixings and a calm
nice sit-down Ambiance we are at donster Lloyd and they are known for their tacos and William
ironically got a sirloin first it does not look as big as the one that's on the menu [Music]
I got the cameraones AKA shrimp tacos it came as a three set Taco with shrimp onion
cilantro and a spread of salsa toppings that you could add to dress it up it was delicious
it was a little extra it was beautiful I was still hungry after my tacos so I
added a dish of rajas quesadilla rajas is poblano chili It's like a slightly bitter
eggplant I think I was too hungry and forgot to film sorry [Music]
does it taste like a normal bird like an American Burger
and the spices they put on a burger is is not a really good yeah although
it's yellow and it may not be American either this is a place our new friend
Ileana took us to in her neighborhood it's in an abandoned lot but I love
that it has a tent with tables it's very street but a little extra yes
so this this whole restaurant is run right here and you can see
the meat is in here and then this is La Concho consume oh it's cooking
oh look at that
oh he has another place [Music]
like a big restaurant yeah
that's what this area is this area so it's really good because some of the ingredients
to make sure that it's okay so I didn't think about it but when you're ordering
in your vegetarian vegetariano then you might order things like um like say for this there's
earlier on I asked elenia uh if I could get tacos but obviously tacos conquesto is uh
which is lettuce and arrows which is rice so like you can think about
those Staples of beans rice vegetables and cheese and usually that's that can
kind of like tide you over if you are concerned about like your diet
yeah the traditional food yes like pozole is also a
came um what he's cooking now in terms of tacos yes now it's like tacos and what is the name is
okay
wait Taco with with plants yeah
yours yes okay okay does he have to pay rent um
1000 cases a month or just for this spot right here
okay finally my veg Taco nice and greasy
oh wow
holy moly delicious that was packed with a lot of good flavor yes holy mackerel my
vegetarian special cost like roughly around two dollars which I think this is at 45 pesos
a little over two dollars which for street tacos might be a little expensive but it was really
good so I put onions in cilantro online uh yeah I wish I could use the sauces but it's just going
to be too messy right now except that his food influence was from Tapatia like a different region
a lot of Mexican cooking I can't really taste the cheese so much the cheese is usually really subtle
with some some salt this one has much flavor I can taste the cheese in it I also got smoked the
way who's grilling it it's like a smoked grilled flavor also the sauce that you put on like the
food like the beans and the there's the Lotte sauce which was a lot of flavor olota is corn
but it was mixed with a lot of I'm not sure what other sauce is
but not with a smoked cheeses the onions he like grills everything together
for super good last this type of street Taco is
most commonly found the banner is like a menu it tells you what you can order
[Music]
you know what I probably want some sauce on mine okay this is guacamole this is tamarind this is
Chile de herbal and this is habanero rocket fuel rocket food uh when does The Tamarind
come oh just if you want something for sort of sweet yeah it's exactly it's a sweet so it's
really interesting because look these plates have plastic on it which means you eat on the plastic
and when you're done they remove the plastic and put a new one on and you have a fresh plate
that's pretty smart of course plastic we are like trying to save the environment but still
this is a efficient way to have Street Food
and it's the first time I've seen it like this we have my shrimp taco and my relleno Taco you know
it's kind of like a pepper a baked grilled deep fried pepper and this is going to be my my shrimp
okay
took that chili out this is like a big fatty
okay so you can see this is a huge stuffed chili right here
now I couldn't finish it the flavoring of the chili is very light I really wish
I could taste more of the chili but the the mayonnaise on it really helps
pull the flavor out a little bit more I think it's because the chili is breaded
and deep fried and then you've got the corn tortilla on the side until a starch is it
so it kind of Smothers the chili a little because it's all spilling over this taco
this shrimp is so much more better it's like a lot more flavorful
so here we are out right in front of some of the street stalls the taco Street stalls the
tacos here cost roughly about 20 pesos or a little bit more but roughly about
a dollar coming here is going to be a lot more economical and you'll be supporting
