\u00a1Nos encanta la comida mexicana<\/strong>! (We love Mexican food!). One of the best parts about living in Mexico is getting to eat all the delicious food here. I couldn’t believe it last year when I read the news that Taco Bell had won the “Best Mexican Restaurant” in the US in a poll. Now don’t get me wrong – I’ll smash some T-Bell once in a while, but it sure isn’t “Mexican food!” After a few years of living here, I’ve assembled a little highlight reel to show you just what REAL Mexican food looks like…<\/p>\n

In this video, we try all kinds of tacos – tacos de pescado<\/strong> (fish tacos), tacos de arrachera<\/strong> (steak tacos), and even tacos de cabeza<\/strong> (“head tacos”). Those may sound a bit gross, but believe me when I say that they’re muy rico<\/strong>! Of course, we also try the King of Tacos – tacos al pastor<\/strong>.\u00a0If you want to learn more about Mexico’s most famous dish, read my posts all about tacos<\/a>\u00a0and the Netflix show “Taco Chronicles<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Sopes – REAL Mexican food.<\/p><\/div>\n

In addition, you’ll get to see what el desayuno<\/strong> (breakfast) looks like in Mexico – chilaquiles<\/strong> (what I call “breakfast nachos”) and huevos con machaca<\/strong> (eggs with dried beef). We also check out some other classics like sopes<\/strong>, volcanes<\/strong>, and tamales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You’ll also learn about some common meat and seafood dishes while learning some Spanish vocabulary like cabrito<\/strong> (roast goat) and pulpo<\/strong> (octopus). Save room for dessert, because you don’t want to miss the churros<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
