It's the perfect day for a taco crawl in
Mexico City we've gotten some tips from locals and
we've done a bit of research so we're
going to spend the day eating. Finding
the best tacos hopefully. I just got
pooed on ohhhh come on it only just got me
so this vlog's going to be a bit
different to normal
let us know in the comments if you like
this style or not, let's find some tacos. Let's eat!
we've rocked up to Rica's Carnitas and
they serve tacos tacos de carnitas. Carnitas
means little meats and basically all
parts of a pig are stewed in a huge vat of
lard
so we've ordered a pork leg taco
basically you just add all the
condiments that you want so we've added
some salsa they've popped on
cebolla which is onion and also some coriander or
cilantro and then they've got this huge tub of guacamole
and you just pop it on your taco.
it's so so delicious the pork is really
tender and just the zing from the lime and
the spice from the chili. It is just the
perfect snack. We're not going to talk
about where these taco stands or
restaurants are but we'll pop all the
details below in the description
we're El Pescadito these guys specialize in
seafood tacos in particular this one
which is called ta-cocote and it
comes with a pepper or a chilli that is
stuffed with marlin the fish and
then they add more marlin on top
then battered and fried prawns and then you can
add obviously your own salsas so we've added
pico de gallo and some red onion and
like mayonnaise based sauces a red one and a
green one. It's so, so tasty the
marlin is quite meaty but it's
all shredded a little bit salty but it
works perfectly with all the salsas
These guys do a range of other tacos as well
so you can get battered white fish tacos
plain prawn ones we've also got another one
which is called que-sotote which is a chilli
stuffed with cheese and then it's got
battered prawns on top you have to come
here they are really really worth eating
We're at Los Parados these guys do tacos
where the meat has been prepared on the
grill so we have ordered beef rib and
it's had a quick sear on the hot grill
straight onto the tortilla and then we've
loaded on pico de gallo and limes and
all sorts. Very simple but the meat has so much
flavour, definitely worth a go.

We're at El Vilsito for
their famous
tacos al pastor, these have got to be
some of my favourite tacos. So they're done in
the style of a shawarma and they were
developed by the Lebanese
immigrants who first came to Mexico
So the meat is piled on top of the spit
and it's roasted and they have a pineapple on top
they have a pineapple on top which roasts as well
and then the juice drips down onto the meat.
they shave off the pork, chuck it on a tortilla
add onion cilantro or coriander and then you
add all your condiments I can't tell you
how good it is. It's almost like a Hawaiian
pizza. The pineapple is super, super sweet
and the shaved meat is so tender. You have to come here
Remember we're popping all these taco
spots down below in the description
so you can find them yourself
We're at a taco stand which is in the
middle of nowhere well we don't actually
know where we are but we'll mark it on the map
and they are famous for their barracuda
tacos so there's like whole fish on the
grill and they've covered it in
mayonnaise and pico de gallo and it's
just roasting away. They go through about 10
to 15 barracudas a day and then it's just
flaked off popped onto a tortilla. Wow
the fish is super moist the mayo, the
jalapenos, the tomatoes so so good. Tacos
complete so that is our five picks for
the top tacos we could find. What was your
favorite? My favorite was dos, so number two
so that was the marlin taco unbelievable
and remember like we said earlier all
details of where these places are prices
all that sort of thing we'll put down
below so you can go to these places
yourself all of them were easily
accessible by either Metro some
like the last one we did Uber to - just
because it was a little bit out of the
way
unbelievably worth doing though but for me
it was number two the one with the marlin
it is it was the most expensive one we
had 35 pesos, at 35 pesos, about $2
US dollars but they're huge unbelievable
What was your favorite? My favorite would
have to be the al pastor tacos at El
Vilsito so that place was a garage by
day and a taco joint by night and they
that was taco quatro. They did the
shwarma style tacos or the
Lebanese style tacos so the shaved pork
and with the pineapple oh my god like so
amazing. If you know any other places we
should have tried yeah pop them down
below so other people can see we would
like to hear about them too for whenever
we're back in Mexico City
it has been so fun trying all these
tacos we have loved it we hope that we
have inspired you to eat and explore like a
traveler,
