if you're trying to do this I recommend having a partner just just grab someone
off the street anyone could the average person do this in Guadalajara? Would we
do it again? Hello from Guadalajara! Back by popular demand, we first did this
challenge in San Blas and we are doing it again.
Can we eat out on $10 day, or a hundred eighty-five pesos each? This is gonna be
a little bit tricky we're very new to the city and we don't know where any of
the cheap restaurants are. Can we make it work? We will see. We are here in
the mercado and we are looking for some breakfast. Let's see what we can find
there's so much food here I don't think it's gonna be that hard. There's so many options.
First, we went to a food stall called BaquiDeli. I got a coffee for 15 pesos.
and huevos al gusto for 20 pesos. Mine was 45 for the food and 15 for the coca-cola
If we wouldn't have started so late, it might be a struggle for me the rest of
the day because I spent 60 pesos on breakfast but thankfully we didn't get
breakfast into the lunchtime. So that'll help my 185 pesos last
throughout the day how do you feel like my breakfast costed 35 pesos and I left
a three peso tip even though you didn't think that was necessary. Are you
supposed to tip when you get food at a food stand in big mercados? I thought I
read that you're not supposed to. I feel like there might be enough at the end of the day for a shot of tequila!
we're getting a little thirsty but not too thirsty so we decided to get a
horchata agua fresca it's just ten pesos It's rice milk and cinnamon. That's right... That's rice.
Perfect opportunity for a pun—squandered. I know! And we're gonna share it
it's not too sweet, it's really good. 5 pesos each. Cha-ching!
So since we got a pretty late start to this day, it's getting to be about
lunchtime which is a little after 2:00 left Mercado Libertad. Mercado libertad
And explored around Liberacion Square. No se
come se dice "square" Now we're at Mercado Corona and we're gonna do some exploring
try to find some cheap eats so they can stay in budget and let's see if we can
stay within this ten US dollars. Vamos!
Jordan is trying to tell me that he can eat a giant thing of raspberries in one
sitting. Raspberries are delish. I'll eat all the
raspberries. It's like - It's a liter of raspberries. it looks like more than that. Are you gonna do it? Challenge accepted
or declined? Challenge within a challenge. Challenge accepted.
alright let's do it
Cuarenta, verdad? (40, right?) Si (Yes)
Si, tiene cambio? (Yes, do you have change?) Si (yes).
Muy bien. Me gustaria esto. (Very good. I would like that. )
all right show the nice people this thing of raspberries you say you're gonna
eat all of I don't believe it. So while I work on my 30 peso raspberries. Get out of here! I
have this giant cup of fruit with all the fruits watermelon, kiwi, orange,
jicama, pineapple, papaya, mango, and she gave me dos tenedores. Because I think she
thinks we're sharing this, but ha ha joke's on her. And how much was it? 30 I said. We will see
Nobody want to see me eating that close. Do you? I'm regretting this decision. But for a
fair reason what is that reason? Buncha them in here were bad. They had mold on them
even still this is a lot of raspberries. I feel like this isn't a super substantial meal but
it's a good snack. And it's go-o-o-od. Why didn't you tell me I can't eat so many raspberries
Struggled bus? Your not gonna be able to finish it, or? I'll be able to finish it. No!
Don't waste them. I'm sure someone would eat them. Like Laska. So here we are back
at our Airbnb we are now past our lunch time let's see where we are in our 10
u.s. dollars one hundred and eighty five pesos.
so I would like to point out that it might seem like we're eating just snacky things throughout the day but
that's pretty much the way I lived my life just snick snacking all the way through the day. (laughs)
So I have 80 pesos left and Maddie has 112. What are you in search of? I want a torta.
so um he wants a torta because he's going broke I am in search of well
pretty much anything because I've gotten the cheapest food all day we split some
stuff so if you're trying to do this I recommend having a partner just just
grab someone off the street anyone I just found this guy he seems to be
following me around everyone. See now
I just gave him the camera. And he's still following me.
Look out, cockroach. Where what? Just kidding. Jerk! I just felt a wave of cold fear just surge through my body. She is terrified of
cockroaches. Cucaracha! So we're here at Los Laureles after the longest search party for a
restaurant not because we couldn't find something within budget although that
did contribute just because Guadalajara is pretty spread out at least where
we're staying right now so that made it a little bit difficult it turns out a
lot of restaurants are closed on Sunday and it's the Sunday right before Semana Santa
or Holy Week where the entire city goes on vacation but we found
something to eat and what did you get. I got Guadalajara's specialty.
Torta Ahogada. It actually seems like compared to some that we've seen that they've
de-constructed it a little bit by putting the sauce on the side it's a lot less
messy this way oh yeah much prefer because I didn't know how I was gonna eat it.
I'm tryin' something brand new to me called a sope... hopefully I even
said that right it's called an antojitos but sope is a
kind of antojitos I got three and they were 88 pesos
So, first impressions these are a little bit tinier than I thought. I forgot they did
provide this little carrot and kind of like a cole slaw salad that makes them
look a whole lot prettier but yeah these look like four tortillas they're kind of
like half of an English muffin because they're a lot thicker
it tastes pretty average if I'm being honest I'm going to put a little lime and salt and
give that a whirl it is a little bit better with salt and lime on it and this
delicious salad and topping but I'm curious if antojitos specifically
if sope is what we should expect when eating this?
I love the base kind of reminds me of like little pizza crusts because it's
got like a little pinched lip around the edge I'm curious to know if this is
traditional but this is more like Americanized. Let us know! Since this is a specialty of
Guadalajara I would definitely get it again probably try from another
restaurant next it's really good I liked a lot and when they don't serve it in
any other cities you have to try it while you're here where we're sitting
after dinner in our challenge I have 15 and Jordan miraculously
came out at 22 pesos what are we gonna do with it we're kind of thinking we're
gonna go to a grocery store and see what kind of desserts we can mosey up. mosey
up? we can shimmy up? we're here in Soriana which is a grocery store for
our dessert. Let's explore. Think I can get a bottle of wine for 15 pesos?
Look, it's thirty-five. It's 35 pesos. Why did I have to get three? I could have gotten two and
then got a mini bottle of wine "ay no!" we just discovered something amazing
aw man, yellow #5! oh it's tequila it's a margarita in a can?
like a soda oh I see it El Jimador. $15.90, so uh if I could just find one peso on the floor
I have 22 pesos left for dessert I can get a doughnut for three pesos and 20
cents and then maybe I could donate the rest to Maddie's to get her a bottle of
wine. But look these are sopes de maiz. This is what I had for dinner. It does, it looks like a little
pizza crust. Que interesante.
Either that one or the middle one. Or that one. Oh that's not the middle one you're talking about.
We had 37 pesos left. Our total just came out to 36.50. I had 22 pesos left I used
every last bit to get a Jose Cuervo Paloma and Cookie Monster. Cookie Monster
cupcake biggest cupcake cupcake cupcake starts with c, c, c. And Maddy still has a
half peso left over half peso in the bank. Cha-ching! She got her Paloma as well.
cheers Cheers
And now we are walking home, enjoying a few victory sips since we successfully completed our $10 day
challenge in Guadalajara where it is no no no no the cockroach no no no no no no
no I know I know they're all there's like no no no no no no no no. It touched my leg! oh gosh no. I hate cockroaches!
Oh gosh! I don't even know what I was saying. Victory drink. Victory drink in here in Guadalajara since it is
totally cool to do that. is it? hopefully
we're gonna do a little recap of $10 challenge could the average person do
this in Guadalajara? would we do it again? starting off I
would say that this was much easier than San Blas. there were plenty of places that
we could find all over the place that were well within budget and we had a lot
left over this was super doable we ended up trying a few things that we
hadn't had before what do you think I think it was more difficult than san
blas but yeah and if it wasn't for us being at and around that market we would
have had quite a bit of trouble staying within budget due to the neighborhood
that we live in we don't do to the neighborhood we're staying in it's very
residential urban sprawl is a thing here in Guadalajara there isn't a whole
lot within walking distance but yeah if you're going to the markets eating it
food trucks I think it's super doable and to be honest it's now that we're in
Mexico and have been traveling around I kind of prefer it in the street food
just to clarify if you're wanting to sit at a sit-down restaurant I don't think
it would be completely possible to do ten US dollars a day because you're
looking at prices like 99 pesos for your average entree please for the places
that we've seen and that's like avenida chapultepec and the
neighborhood where our Airbnb is I would definitely do this again putting
constraints on a situation makes you be more creative helps you explore new
things gets you out of your comfort zone a little bit so I feel like we should do
more challenges all right hope you guys found this useful and entertaining if
there's anything that you would like to see in the next $10 challenge we are
going to Guanajuato and san miguel de allende if you think we should do it
in those next cities let us know in the comments you have another idea for
another challenge also let us know and we'll see you in the next video
