Welcome to Eat Baila Travel this is Jenny and Kevin
and we are super excited to share with you a special vlog on the street food in Puerto Escondido.
We love coming to Puerto Escondido so much that this is the third time that we come visit in a year.
Every time we come there's al always new businesses new restaurants but one thing that has not changed so much is street food!
Puerto Escondido is not specifically known for its street food
but like many places in Mexico it has some stellar street tacos so we're going to show you some of
the good spots to get some good street food if you're traveling on a budget which is also helpful.
To start our street food vlog we're bringing you to la calle de la barbacoa it's not
It's not really called la calle de la barbacoa but i noticed that they sell a lot of barbacoa
here so we're coming and checking it.It's on seconda norte and between primera
and segunda poniente located in centro if you haven't seen our Puerto Escondido guide video make
sure to check it out because we're going to be referencing back to that video to show you where
these places are at all right before we get these tacos i have a confession to make so right now
currently i'm on a keto diet because i promised Jenny that i would have abs for her birthday
so it's been a challenge to walk around Mexico and try to have food without tortillas or sweets
churros and things like that so we'll see how this goes i normally get a couple of stares or like
really weird faces when i say nor tortillas so if you're interested in learning more on how it feels
and to travel on a keto diet in Mexico comment down below maybe we can make a specific video for
you to get an idea of what it looks like to be on keto while traveling so let's go get these tacos de barbacoa
Normally there's a lot more stands but we came a little early
we're already hungry uh but this this street is always packed with like
taco stands for barbacoa so we're gonna check out one of these two see what's up
Can I get goat barbacoa tacos with broth?
We don't have goat meat today
Ok, i'll take beef then, thank you.
Their menu had chivo but they don't have goat meat right now so beef it is.
You gotta admit it looks kind of cool to have street food graffiti in the background yeah or art
"El consume" is the broth that the meat is cooked in
this one has meat in it
They give it for free with your order of tacos you just have to ask for it if you want it
This is where all the flavor is at
Kevin-We got our hungry buddy in the background
This comes in clutch because it's very greasy it's all the
meat and the broth right so it's super greasy and helps out for my keto diet
doesn't make it awkward to be like yeah i don't know what i want tortillas.
damn and it's really tasty it's really good really good.
Thank you!
wow look at these beautiful tacos so they use the beef broth to refry the tortilla comes out super
super nice and toasty man one order is a lot we only ordered one that's one
order of tacos 60 pesos for these right here you get one two three four five tacos
and a consume for 60 pesos that's three dollars god bless street food!
Very good also we don't specifically have a spot that we normally choose when we come here
we just know that everybody here sells barbacoa and it all looks
very high quality so you just pick and choose choose with the eyes
I would go right in here but i'm going to give it to Jenny because i can't eat tortilla
well good thing i'm not on a keto diet
I am going to add some consume for extra flavor
Kevin- and they have double tortillas
yeah otherwise it would fall apart
Damn i'm sorry i'm sorry you're missing out on this
Kevin- yea that makes me feel a whole lot better
Generally we've known the meat the quality of meat to be better in the central and northern
north of Mexico i'm surprised that this is actually really really good
Kevin- you generalized my Oaxaca
so i took out all the meat and put it in my consume and ate it
it's very embarrassing when you ask for tacos and then you leave a ton of tortillas behind
I don't know as a Mexican i feel ashamed to leave behind and then as
a human being i feel very irresponsible for leaving all the tortillas behind so
it sucks because i'm on Keto but it's a good thing Jenny and i shared the tacos so we only had half
and half i took the meat out of some of them and put it in it is what it is next up we're gonna
head out to one of my favorite places al pastor here in Puerto Escondido Jenny and I were debating
whether it's considered street food because it's an actual place but they serve food in the street
If you can help us decide i wanted to make sure that it was featured on this video because it's
easily my favorite al pastor tacos in Puerto Escondido so join us we do have a solution for the tortillas. Hey Firulais
I got you, if I can't have it you can!
Before we move on to the next step in our street food tour
we're here at fauna bar from salsa dancing and to make hunger
wait that doesn't translate we're here to burn some calories and make room for some more tacos
if you want to know where you can dance salsa and bachata and cumbias in Puerto Escondido be
sure to check out our guide to latin dancing in Puerto Escondido to find out our favorite spots
this is
So there are plenty of other options for Al Pastor here in Puerto Escondido but my favorite is tacos El rey
it's a little debatable whether it's considered street food because they have an inside part
but we are eating on the street on the sidewalk and a car just pulled up so yeah it's definitely
street food also everybody that comes to visit us or people that i meet i recommend this place
before they head out of Puerto Escondido so you'll see why i hype this place up so much because i'm
on keto i'm going to get Alambres del Al pastor which is going to hit the spot especially after dancing
and Jenny is going to get a gringa because that's our favorite when we order our pastor
An alambre is Al Pastor meat fried.
on the on the side they saute onion uh a little bit of bacon ham and normally green pepper but i
always ask for no green pepper and then they pull it to grill they put it together with
the fried al pastor and then they add Quesilloat the top so you never never stop one hot
I can't eat tortillas so this is my go to
Jenny- A plate of meat and cheese!
This is amazing!
Even if you're not on keto uh the Alambres are a good bargain because you pay 60 pesos and you get
about seven to eight tacos and it's really good so so it's pretty good
price they got a good promotion here at 60 pesos for this plate of alambres
so when i am down in Puerto Escondido if i'm around hit me up so you can come have some tacos or
you know come on your own and check it out for yourself
Every once in a while we get a sweet tooth so this is one of the few churro. stands that we've seen
here in Puerto Escondido right along the main road near the Chedraui and then we need the Benito Juarez statue
so warm and fresh four pieces for 10 pesos that's exactly what you need perfect reminds me of donuts
We don't get donuts out here.
Churros are like the perfect substitute
The churreria is named Omar and I have 28 years selling churros.
Kevin- what is your name and where are you from?
My name is Reyna Guzman Gutierrez and I am from Puerto Escondido.
Everyone is welcomed to our churreria Omar!
I'm struggling right now jenny's eating fresh churros right behind me and i can't even oh resist
i want some churros by the way we've noticed that here in Puerto Escondido there aren't many
places that so churros actually this is the only place we've seen right um so i i wonder why if
anybody knows anybody who's watching knows comment down below i'm curious to to know if you know any
of the history of churros or if maybe they're just a northern central part of Mexico thing
but yeah i find it very interesting i don't crave churros much but right now when i can't have it
Last but not least we are at El Adoquín this is where Puerto Escondido tourism was born my parents when
they visited 30 years ago they said that when they visited Puerto Escondido this is the only little
touristy site that existed it's really nice to come out here to shop they have street food they
have restaurants they have bars, entertainment and they have arts and artesanias for you to come and check out.
I feel like a lot of the time this place gets overlooked by foreign tourists.
I don't know why maybe there isn't enough marketing or promotion for it but it's a really nice spot to
come hang out and eat very economical foods we're going to give you a quick tour of Adoquín
because it's definitely a place you don't want to miss to get an authentic experience from Puerto Escondido
Jenny- you almost ran over the kids,
the family got really awkward behind you yeah by the way if you come to El Adoquín you have to if you want to
come for the market it has to be after six o'clock before the street is open and it's not and after
six o'clock is closed for pedestrian so we're actually here early it's about 5:45 and people
are barely starting to set up their shops and their markets so don't think this is it there's so
much more to come but you can find any necklaces your regular Puerto Escondido notebooks, note pads
fans because you know it gets kind of hot out here sometimes
a little bit of everything, decorated coconuts, economical magnets
but we came early because
sometimes night footage isn't the best and i also got to work the bar tonight at Losodeli
but yeah if during the time when the market's at full force
all of this is filled up with stands and clothing you see what's coming it's hot dogs and burgers from the grill.
Kevin: where are you going to set up cause this video is going up for youtube.
Vendor: In the corner right there
Kevin: What time do you set up?
vendor: Around 7pm most places are set up
kevin: Around 7pm sounds good, saludos amigo!
They're saying that the street food sets up at seven o'clock
but uh there's a at the other end there's a lot of taquerias already set up so i'm
gonna give you a little quick right next to Adoquin is Playa principal.
Man we're getting some golden footage today! And it is a street food vlog you could also get a street Michelada
At el Rey there's a couple of stands right that sell Micheladas,beers drinks so pretty cool huh pretty cool
All of this i can't have and i want m&m's milky ways but i haven't seen m m's in a while
and they're all melting it's not touching it no more
