- Hello Tangerineys, from a part of Queretaro
I can almost guarantee you've never seen before.
So how in the Carmen Sandiego did we end up
in this part of Queretaro?
Well, I ordered something.
I ordered a rug off of amazon.com.mx
and it was being shipped from the US
and who even knows what happened in Limbo land
in between there and here,
but it ended up at Mexpost
all the way on this side of town
and it's called...
Well, maybe you want to give it a try?
- Yeah.
Santa Rosa Ja-re-reh-gui.
Ja-re-gui.
- Ja-ru-ja...
Jáuregui.
(both laughing)
Nailed it. - Nailed it.
This is a part of Queretaro unlike anything we've seen.
So we want to explore what appears to us
to be the like the poorest barrio in Queretaro.
- Although that is typically where we find the best food,
awesome artesanias, really cheap clothes,
really cheap stuff,
like over here, this might be a fruit vendor
or juice or something, but I want that.
- Oh, I see mango.
- I am so hungry.
Let's do it.
(upbeat music)
(speaking Spanish)
- Mm, yeah.
- Okay, help me out, I only got one hand now.
Nectar of the gods.
So good. (chuckles)
- [Jordan] Wanna share a mango?
- Mm-hmm.
(speaking Spanish)
(upbeat music)
(speaking Spanish)
- Now truth be told, I would get this
if we weren't making a video.
(both chuckling)
- Always, always get fresh cut mango.
And always get it with salt, lime and chili.
- Yeah, heck yeah.
You know...
- Especially, always get it right now,
because this means now we don't have to wear a mask
for a little bit.
Ka-ching!
- Ka-ching.
Mango is such a pain in the ass to cut up
and it's all sticky and stuff.
So when it's all done for me,
oh yes.
Oh, there, look, do you see what I see?
- What? No.
- El Centro of El Centro.
- Oh, I was like, is it a dog?
El Centro of El Centro, okay, that's fun too.
(upbeat music)
Hmm, this is so juicy and sweet.
Getting this, your turn.
- [Jordan] All right.
(upbeat music)
Nature's candy.
So much better than a human candy.
- Human candy? (chuckles)
Man-made candy?
- Yeah, like the candy humans make.
- Candy made out of humans?
- Gross. - Ew.
I took a dark turn.
(both chuckle)
- Yes it did.
(speaking Spanish)
- [Jordan] If you wanna see the size,
take that one to the side.
- Oh, I see, okay.
(speaking Spanish)
Oh my gosh, these are so broken,
they won't even come out.
(speaking Spanish)
We were just about to leave this plaza
and we were walking by like a shoeshiner, I think,
or maybe like a shoe repair person.
And I saw they had all these shoelaces,
which I still don't know how to say in Spanish, so.
But I managed to communicate what we needed to,
to replace this freaking garbage
that was holding my shoes together
with these new ones, which were just 15 pesos for the pair.
- As we've been learning Spanish,
it seems like there's a lot of basic words
that we still don't know.
But just something like shoelaces
you don't need to know the word
until like you need new ones, right?
So it's like you just don't learn it until you have to.
- I get by by saying estos, estas,
and just guess and then hope that I use the right
feminine or masculine based on whatever the word is.
- I do know the word now though.
- What are they?
- Cordones de zapatos.
- Is that right, you guys?
I hope.
(upbeat music)
Given that we've been working out,
going to the gym like basically every day of the week,
I think you might've earned yourself this next stop.
- [Jordan] Oh, it smells so good.
- [Maddie] Oh my gosh.
- [Jordan] Can you smell that?
- Mm, even through my mask.
Well, which is falling down.
Ooh, the smells!
- [Jordan] I'm considering this.
I'm considering this.
- [Maddie] And this and this and this and this and this.
- So the way this works,
you get a tray,
you get one of these,
and then you put everything you want on the tray.
- [Maddie] And then you go to town, bitch.
- I'm actually surprised you only got one, Jordan.
And sadly everything there has gluten,
so I'm just there for the free smells.
- Yeah, I'm trying to cut back on the sugar.
Actually, I wouldn't get this if we weren't making a video.
- [Maddie] Aah.
- I'm not supposed to say that.
- [Maddie] The truth is coming out.
- Pretty good.
Sad.
- Oh, (chuckles) just sad.
You know, you guys,
sometimes it does still make us uncomfortable
to hold a camera out in front of our face.
So we're walking by people
and they tend to stare because what are we doing?
You know?
But here we're getting a lot of stares
as if, "What are these weirdos doing here
in this is part of the hood?"
I dunno.
But everyone we walk by is like,
kind of staring us down.
And then there's like...
- Not a bad way or anything.
- Not a bad way,
but a way that still makes me a little uncomfortable.
(upbeat music)
- [Jordan] Aah, look at this.
For 280, you get all of this.
- I do want something,
but I wanna be able to sit down and eat it.
- [Jordan] Like here.
- Okay, do you wanna get something to eat?
- Okay, let me look at the menu.
Yeah, here looks good.
(upbeat music)
- I don't know if this is like a place
where you order at the counter
or if they'll take our order here.
- Okay, all right.
So we could have gotten like a whole package
that include salsas and tortillas,
and like meat, and like some other stuff.
But we decided to go with a couple of tacos,
because I'm just, I don't know if I'm hungry enough
to eat that whole package here.
- Also, I kind of want to try more stuff around town.
And if I fill up on mango
and like a whole chicken or something...
- Muchas gracias.
So what we did is we each got a couple of tacos,
and she's like, "What kind do you want?
And, well, it's carnitas here.
And I thought, I didn't know there were multiple kinds.
- I thought carnitas was the type of meat.
So I was like, "Okay, carnitas."
And she's like, "Well, but what do you want?"
- And then she names off like five words
I've never heard before.
- Yeah, so I was like, "What's your favorite?"
She was like, oh, something.
And I didn't understand.
I was like, "Okay, that one."
So we'll see what we get.
So I have almost literally no idea what this is,
but it looks like it has something jiggly on it.
And some parts of whatever the meat is.
Oh my gosh, what have I got myself into?
(cafe music playing)
It's really good.
(Jordan laughs)
- I got something called maciza, I think.
Maztiza? Maciza?
I forget.
Actually I heard her say it again.
My taco looks more like just some meat
rather than Maddie's looked like meat and other things
that I don't know what they are.
- Texture.
- Meat and other texture.
(cafe background noises)
Yeah, it's fine.
- By the way, this place is called Los Buho's,
and the tacos are 20 pesos each,
which is pretty pricy for a taco in this,
well, what I would imagine in this part of town.
But there is a lot of meat on here and it's very flavorful.
I don't actually know what part of the whatever this is.
So it could be like a really nice cut of meat
or something too.
But I did.
- We got to scan another fantastic looking things.
- I wouldn't say that.
(speaking Spanish)
So we randomly picked this place to eat
which I do highly recommend, two thumbs up, very tasty.
But looking outside there seems like
carnitas might be a thing.
'Cause we have Carnitas Jaquelin, Carnitas Leonardos,
Carnitas Pepe's Las Gueras,
and I venture to guess,
if we kept walking, we would keep finding-
- [Jordan] Carnitas. Carnitas.
- Carnitas. More carnitas.
Wow. (chuckling)
- So if there happens to be any pigs watching this video
I recommend you do not hang around in this area.
(speaking Spanish)
- So, I found these two.
I'll be right back.
(upbeat music)
Okay, here's the shirt.
I think it's cute, but a little fluffy.
- [Jordan] I think it's too fluffy around the arms.
- So too poofy for me.
Okay, off to dress.
Okay, so, this kind of makes me look like a wrapped sausage.
- [Jordan] I don't think it's very flattering.
- No.
I don't want to look like 30 pounds over here, no.
(speaking Spanish)
- If you want to come to Mexico
and explore parts of the city like this,
it really helps to know some Spanish.

Copias de llaves.
Hey, do you have any llaves?
- [Maddie] What llaves? Which one?
- Llaves for our garage.
We need a copia.
- Copia?
We need copious amounts of copias.
Sure do.
Don't look at it too closely,
or people can get into our garage door.
(street noises drowns out Maddie)
(speaking Spanish)
So they're making us two copies of our key here
and it's going to be 15 pesos each or 30 pesos total.
I don't exactly know what this full shop is about.
It looks like they do frames.
Windows, mirrors, maybe something to do with aluminum?
Yeah, (reading in Spanish).
(speaking in Spanish)
- Can we compare them to the original?
Make sure they look good?
Don't look.
- Can people actually make a copy like this?
- Someone has commented that before.
- I was joking, but if that's a real thing.
Yeah, it looks fine.
- Okay, cool.
We're getting so much done here that I wasn't expecting.
- I know.
Wow, we should visit this part of town more often.
I like it here.
- We need to stop pronouncing the T in often.
- I say it like that pretty often,
as in my whole life I've said it like that.
So I'm going to continue to say it as often
as I would like, thank you very much.
- Someone emailed us that once.
- They literally took the time to email us,
let that sink in.
Didn't just comment on the video.
- "I like your videos,
but stop pronouncing the T in often."
Which I did look up because I thought this guy was wrong.
It turns out he's right.
It's the correct pronunciation is often.
- Well, and it turns out
when somebody takes the time to bother me
personally in our inbox,
I'll just say it like that from now until forever.
Just because like, why do you need to do that?
(both chuckling)
- I have a feeling they have no idea
what they're selling here.
- We see people wearing shirts
like that say things in English all the time.
And it's like...
- With profanity too.
- Yeah, with profanity.
Sometimes kids, like you definitely don't know
what that shirt means.
Somebody should have looked that up before you got it.
(upbeat music)
- So what do we do here?
Do you just like lay there and wait for food,
or is this like the guardian yard?
Is there a club about to open?
Are you in line for a club?
- [Maddie] Earlier in this video we were saying
that this is a part of Queretaro
that's probably one of the poorest in the city.
And I feel like we should explain a little bit more,
because it's not like we're in the ghetto or anything,
but this isn't quite as modern.
You don't see high rise condo buildings.
It's not quite as new,
but this is like real Mexico to me.
It has so many of the elements of Mexico that I love,
like street vendors selling things
or walking through like a kind of tianguis,
kind of just street filled with shops.
The people are all really nice.
And these are like, I mean the heart and soul of the city.
So I like coming places like this.
And to be honest,
for it being one of the poorest parts,
it's pretty dang nice actually.
- And we got some stuff done.
- Yeah, I mean, I feel like we should come here every week.
Honestly, get our fix of carnitas in.
Get to our shopping and figure out all the things
that we needed to do, but hadn't done,
been putting off, like shoelaces,
for months and months and months.
We do hope you will subscribe to our channel.
And on the screen here is another video
we made here in Queretaro
of things that shocked us about the city.
It's unlike any other city in Mexico
for a number of important reasons.
And one more thing before you click out of this video.
(bell rings)
Gong that bell so you get notified
the next time we release a new video,
which is always every Saturday morning.
And we'll see you in the next one.
