Good evening YouTube from amazing Mexico City. I'm actually in the
co-working space I work in and it's pretty awesome as well. Before we dive
into the 6 Foods You Must Eat in Mexico City, for those of you
that are new to my channel, my name is Kevin I spent 20 years in the military. I
retired went to law school and became a corporate lawyer. I got tired of my
nine-to-five, so I came up with a plan to travel full-time. That's what I do. I
make these videos to hopefully inspire you to do something similar if that's
what you want. If that type of content interests you please make sure you

place and one of the things that makes it so wonderful is the great food so I'm
gonna talk to you about six things here in Mexico City that you must eat I
didn't think of these six things on my own I put a pull-up in Instagram and I
got all kinds of wonderful responses I really appreciate that response it
helped make this video possible so thank you to all those who responded on
Instagram all right so without further ado let's jump into these so something
you have to try when you come to Mexico City are tacos but not just any tacos, al
pastor tacos. Al Pastor tacos are usually made with pork that's marinated for days
and then spit roasted schwarmann style you had some pineapple onions cilantro
chili and some lime and you basically have a flavor explosion in your mouth
these type of tacos are amazing I can't recommend our pasta or tacos enough
here's a little pro tip try to find them made with homemade corn tortillas you
won't regret that at all so the next item on my list is churros and I know
what you're thinking those aren't necessarily Mexican they originated in
Spain but you have to try them in Mexico City I don't know what they do
differently here in Mexico but for whatever reason they taste better so I
personally like to get my churros dipped in a cinnamon sugary type of powder but
you can also get them dipped in just sugar most of the places here in Mexico
that serve churros will also serve them with dipping sauces my personal favorite
is a condensed milk version but you can usually get chocolate and caramel as
well most people like the chocolate so the next item on the list
when you'll commonly find and street vendor stalls its called mango con chili
lemon if you see these mangoes and a cup with red seasoning on them you have to
stop and try them well you might not think mango and chili mixed together
would be good it is trust me they usually have a bunch of other
powders to throw on there I recommend that you don't skip any of those
seasonings okay just a really quick break here if you're enjoying this video

then more people will find out what the must eats are here in Mexico City ok so
the next item on my list is Nopales. Nopales mean cactus in Spanish. so yeah
you should try some cactus. you'll oftentimes find this mixed in salsa and
you'll see it at the taco vendors but I tried it by itself I thought it was
pretty bland but my Mexican friend swear by it and maybe I just ate it the wrong
way so if you have any recommendations for
how to eat Nopales please comment below okay so the next item on my list is one
of my favorites it's called Chilaquiles chilaquiles are the most iconic Mexican
breakfast you can get my friends know that I love chips and salsa or nachos
whatever you want to call it and basically what chilaquiles is is an
excuse to eat nachos for breakfast chilaquiles are warm tortillas smothered
in eggs salsa and cheese they're absolutely amazing I can't recommend
them highly enough I know I keep saying that and abusing those words but all
these foods are great chilaquiles are at the top of my list of things you must
try here in Mexico City alright so the last item on my list of things you must
eat here in Mexico City is called Pambazos. Pambazos are also one of my
favorite chilaquiles and Pambazos are at the top of my list of things to try
what a Pambazo is are two pieces of bread dipped in salsa and then after you
deep-fry the bread you make a sandwich usually it's with potatoes and chorizo
which is a kind of sausage and then you fry the entire sandwich together I know
it sounds kind of strange a fried sandwich but it's delicious you have to
try it here's a little pro tip about Pam bozos they're actually really hard to
find for lunch they're traditionally served at dinner but you can find pom
bows at some food stalls at lunch and that's
what I did and while it might be traditional to eat them an evening Pambazos
have become one of my favorite lunch dishes even over tacos I know
that's kind of sacrilege to say when you're talking about Mexican food but
that's how much I love Pambazos. okay so I know there are things that I probably
missed that I should have tried here in Mexico City so if you have any
recommendations for dishes people must try when they come to Mexico City please
