Did you hear that oh my god let's go
wait the camera
Welcome to Eat Baila Travel my name is jenny Kevin's behind the camera and today's video
is how to eat like a local in Puerto Escondido. if you've seen our street food video or our .
food guide to Puerto Escondido you might be thinking really another food video in Puerto EscondidoJ
but let me tell you why this is different this video is dedicated to the local spots not just
any tourists know about these are the spots we frequent often and the local businesses
that we like to support here in Puerto Escondido so let's start off with a coco frio from the corner of coco frios.
This place is literally called that and what you get is pretty straightforward a delicious
natural hydrating cocofrio to start off the day or to rehydrate after some time on the beach
and you don't just get a coconut you don't just get coconut water if you're drinking
right straight out of the coconut you can also add some Mezcal for a nice little kick
I. wanna make sure that i start my day off right so with my cocoa i'm i had a little bit of Mezcal
I am here with my friend Rocio, let's see what kind of Mezcal are we gonna put?
It's organic mezcal called.... Jabali
OOOHHH
We just mix it and it's ready right?
I am feeling like Popeye!oh it's so good
For 35 pesos you get the coco itself you drink what's inside of the cocoa once you're done they
chop it up and they uh slice it or shave off the coco meat. the the skin of the cocoa and then you
eat it with limon chile a little bit of salsa obviously the piquete which is a nice shot of mezcal is extra
So i want to get straight to the point as to why we're doing another food video
in Puerto Escondido keep hearing people say that Puerto Escondido is going to become the next Tulum
and whether they mean that in a good way or a bad way what that meant for Tulum was an overrun
tourist destination that completely displaced locals and we don't want to see that happen
here in Puerto Escondido so one of the ways we can support and be conscious tourists or visitors
here in Puerto is by making sure that when we're here we put our money to the local businesses.
In terms of what local businesses we're supporting today's video is also focusing specifically on
fondas or comedores economicos and so what are those exactly are fondas in are small eateries i
hesitate to call them restaurants because they're not full-sized establishments these are often
located within the limits of somebody's home or a hut that has a kitchen and what they do
is make a large a set amount of food for the day they'll have a set menu and once they start to run
out they'll start crossing things off the list and often it's very homemade local and delicious food.
So for lunch we are coming to comedor doña Terewhich is about behind Losodeli so it's super
prime location for us but also it's really really yummy and it's this place right here
We have pork ribs in green salsa, Chicken with a creamy chipotle sauce, Chicken mole, Chilaquiles rojos y verdes, Enfrijoladas
What is la Flor de Maguey a la mexicana?
It the maguey flower with tomato, onion and hot pepper it also comes with rice and beans
Do you know what you want?
I'll take a chicken soup with veggies
We are going to try the maguey flower a la mexicana. But we I really like the creamy chicken in chipotle.
That one is so yummy and so is the amarillo de pollo but they don't have it today.
They mix it up once in a while.
Taste test...
um
It has a bitter taste, not my thing.
it's nice that they were able to sample it before we ordered it.
This is new for us we have never tried this.
It's very common from the region
I wasn't a huge fan of it but it's very traditional to the region but hey maybe it's an acquired taste that we haven't that we
haven't been able to establish it's a part of the maguey we don't normally eat.
i got me a Chicken in chipotle which is really really good i was hoping jenny ordered it
because i had a chicken soup but i'm avoiding dairy remember yeah i had ordered initially a caldo de pollo
so yeah i really like this place everything is so good we've been here like 5 times
so they normally come to rice and beans but because i substitute it with salad.
they gave us huge amount of salad and um muslo for a chicken we're both trying to reduce our sugar
intake and carb intake now so welcome to the club Jenny
This mole sauce ends up more like salad dressing for me seriously though if you're in Puerto come to visit our friend Tere
She throws it down. we should meet her.
Good afternoon welcome to Puerto Escondido my name is Teresa Jimenez.
I have 13 years with the comedor Tere I sell food of the day and antojitos
I sell sopes, embarradas, hand made tortillas by the order,
And you are more than welcome to come visit us here in Puerto Escondido when ever you'd like.
If it wasn't frowned upon to lick this plate, I totally would
kevin- I don't really care who thinks this is frowned upon
Nooo stop.
It's delicious
Comedor Tere is only one of the many comedores and economical kitchens that you can find in Puerto we haven't tried them
all but here are a few others that we do look forward to eating at next
did you hear that oh my god let's go
wait the camera
Plantains and Sweet Potato! You tell me what you need
What do I prepare for you? What do you sell you?
We have smoked sweet potatoes, smoked plaintains, with sweet cream and condensed milk
Directly from Puerto Escondido the Oaxacan coast
Sweet Potato is the best. (spanish dirty joke)
How many would you like? We have purple sweet potatoe, yellow, and we have our pressure gauge that makes noise.
Like this
The hotter it gets the louder the noise.
kevin: yea so the pressure comes out stronger right? That's how I was able to hear you
Arnulfo: Yes it can sound very loud.
Kevin: How much do you sell for?
Kevin: What is you name sir?
Arnulfo Gomez
From here from Puerto Escondido?
Directly from Puerto Escondido
I'll take a plantain, and both sweet potatoes. I have been looking for you for days and I haven't been able to hear the whistle.
I am glad you found it.
Yes, I finally found my sweet potato.
This is super fresh and delicious
This is life right here.
Would you like cream and condense milk?
Kevin: Yes but only half of it prepared and the other half natural. I was going to ask...
Can I have your number? So I can send you the video because it's going up on Youtube. It's going to be an awesome video
Arnulfo: Thank you, I am going to be the famous sweet potato guy from the coast now.
Jenny: How many years have you been selling plantain and sweet potatoes?
Arnulfo: From 25 to 30 years
Kevin: wow since you were born because you look in your twenties.
No but i wish, but I have been doing this for almost 30 years and that's why you are getting pure quality
Jenny: And where do you buy the smoker?
Arnulfo: We either send it to get made or we make them by hand.
Plantains and Sweet Potatoes!
Finally i feel like it's been like two whole weeks you can still hear him he's still around the neighborhood
We get so excited every time we hear this guy because this is so good
smoked sweet potato got the purple one the orange one and the sweet plantains and add a little extra
sugar with the condensed milk oh it's like the perfect treat
It's so good!
Last but not least we have an emblematic meal of Oaxaca called las Tlayudas here when you eat
like a local when you go out maybe they have some beers Tlayudas is a meal that you have
normally at night there's a special street here in Puerto Escondido which they call Primera Norte. The Tlayudas street and cenadurias
We call it the Tlayudas street and the taxi driver understood and it's literally a block filled with Tlayudas places uh
Tlayuda is very very thin tortilla kind of like a i kind of call it like a
mexican pizza where they fill it up with beans and quesillo
and then your choice of meat it could be cecina or it could be tasajo and chorizo
we're gonna go check it out um i'm still on keto so i might give it a little bit of a cheat
meal just because we're almost leaving Puerto Escondido and i want to make sure that i have a Tlayudas before I head out
Join us!
you said join us so he joined us
i think it might be the same dog from the barbacoa video if you haven't checked if
