    Then you so much for this video. As a Chicano(Mexican-american person) it's refreshing to see you try out Mexican food. You've only tapped into the tip of the diversity of Mexican cuisine. As always my kids and I love you guys. Sending our best wishes to you from Detroit Michigan.

    Magnifico! Muy Bien hecho (well done!). You guys never fail to impress and you’re right, there nothing like authentic and you guys nailed it! In our house “Chile Rellenos” are killer! They are stuffed Peppers. Ancho chiles roasted & peeled, cut a slit on the pepper, remove seeds discard, stuff with favorite cheeses ( at least 2 different kinds) or stuff with rice, ground beef mixture. Close pepper slit with 2 tooth picks. Dip into a batter you’ve chosen, Beer batter, Tempura batter or any you prefer. Deep fry til a light Golden Brown. Serve with that Red Chile Sauce Mom made poured over the top. Beans & Rice on the side. PS, when you use the flour tortillas for Tacos or Burritos, warm up the tortillas first. ( throw on a griddle for a few seconds, 15-20 on each side It’s more pliable and has a better flavor. Please keep doing what you do and I’ll keep watching! ❤️🙏✝️🌮🌯….. SanJoséBob

    My mom created her own avocado dip many years ago not knowing what it was suppose to taste like. I've tried authentic a few times, but prefer my mom's version far more. I made it for authentic lovers and they've asked for the recipe. So it be good! 👍

    I live in Chula Vista (San Diego), which is on the American side of the Mexican border, in California. Mexican culture is a huge influence to Southern California culture. My grandmother was Mexican and I've been eating Mexican food my whole life, so I can't imagine trying Mexican food for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed watching your family experience Mexican food for the first time. I think you guys did such a great job with the ingredients you had and were very respectful (thank you).

    I agree with many of the other comments, Pozolé is a must try. And maybe Molé Poblano (a rich sauce made with chocolate, peanuts, lots of spices and chilés). My family cooks it with chicken but it's also cooked with turkey.

    Lastly, the tacos you guys made sounded and looked amazing. We eat ours with heated tortillas. You can heat the tortillas directly on the open flame or on a skillet. The heat brings out the nuttiness of the corn and softens the tortilla, so that it's not so dry.

    Those oblong tortillas are for making flautas. I just found this out from Views From the Road. You add the filling and roll it lengthwise. Then you shallow fry them until golden brown and crunchy. So delicious!

    I am always trying new cultural foods and most times can come up with a recipe after looking at authentic recipes online and guess it helps that I have seen all of the food network/cooking channel shows at least 2or3 times. If you find local international and authentic cuisine spots then should see if Atlanta would be allowed in their kitchens to learn it first hand.

    I am not of Hispanic decent, but living in the Chicago area, and having Mexican relatives and friends, has given me huge appreciation for the culture and authentic food. I am so, so happy to see all that you are doing. I see way less authentic cooking here in the states all the time. I cook Mexican food all the time, and do pretty much everything from scratch, and I love tamales, but I still have to attempt making them. I was cheering you on in my living room!

    WOW! Great job! So much work, but oh, so worth it. You've inspired me to make a batch of tamales; I only have to find my picadillo recipe.😋 Oh, maybe Atlanta can make some flan and/or sopapillas or–if adventurous–fried ice cream if you'd like to try a Mexican dessert.

    Great job. Mexican food rocks. One of my favorite Mexican foods are chile rellenos smothered with green chili. (I make the green chili, which actually turns out red but that's okay, with lots of fried cubed pork, canned tomatoes, fresh roasted chopped chilis, garlic salt and fresh garlic. I make a flour slurry to thicken it. Not sure if it's authentic but I love it. I see a lot of green chili made with tomatillos which to me is more like salsa Verde.) The chile rellenos I love are the ones made with egg roll wrappers not dipped in egg batter. I use a whole seeded chili, add some cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend to it, and then roll them up in an egg roll wrapper. Once they are sealed good, I then deep fry them. They are super crispy and so delicious. We have a Mexican gal who is from Mexico, and she comes around every so often and we buy her tamales. Best ones I've ever eaten. She makes some with a whole chili and cheese, which I've never heard of before. They are sooooo delicious. I am a full German woman who loves the Mexican culture and am always intrigued by it. By the way, where did you get the recipe for the pineapple/onion/cola/beef? Would you mind sharing it please? I have got to try that. Thank you.

    Great video, but then I always think that about what you post. Being a high school teacher in Southern California just a stone’s throw from the border, I always tell my students to not forget their teacher when their families get together to make tamales at Christmas time. Here in Indio we even have an annual tamale festival with hundreds of entrants in a kind fair. Keep up the good work.

    Of all the ethnic foods Mexican food is my favorite, of course I grew up in rural San Diego about 40 miles north of the Mexico border so I ate a lot of Mexican food while living there. Tamales are my second favorite dish and I like all three types beef, chicken, pork, but my most favorite dish is the Chili Relleno. The things I see missing from your items cilantro and fresh salsa, cilantro is one that many people don't like and for me it took some getting used to but now I miss it if it isn't there.

    I add salt, pepper and oregano to guacamole. I grew up in Southern California and learned how to cook Mexican food from my Mexican neighbors. Depending where in Mexico they came from, the food and seasonings differed somewhat. Here in New Mexico, my neighbor is from Pueblo, Mexico and she makes her tamales wrapped in some sort of leaves, not sure if they are banana or something else. Some areas use pinto beans and some use black beans. Enchiladas are usually made with corn tortillas I couldn't tell if your were corn or flour but both are delicious. Mexican food is labor intensive but it is always worth the effort. We usually put red or green sauce on the tamales. Tamales are traditional at holidays. The masa usually cooks to a firm texture so you can unwrap them and eat them with your hands. We do green chili and cheese tamales, chicken and green chili, pork and red chili and even sweet tamales with cinnamon and raisins which are often eaten for breakfast and even with milk like cereal. Posole' is a delicious soup made with meat, often pork and swelled corn, but I love all Mexican food. I like my Enchiladas to be cheese with red sauce, I like my tacos to be crispy corn tortillas but I do like certain tacos made with freshly homemade soft flour tortillas. I love seared ahi tuna tacos with a creamy jalapeno, onion and lime sauce and I like all kinds of tamales. I love taquitos which are sometimes called rolled tacos or flautas (flutes). I generally make my taquitos with a half of a corn tortilla that I fill with a seasoned meat (sometimes other ingredients like potatoes are added or they can be made vegan with seasoned beans as the filling) then roll into a tight tube and deep fry. Most of the flautas I have had are made the same way but use flour tortillas. Again, Mexican food differs by region and here in New Mexico, we have New Mexican food which has some influences from the Spanish and the Native Americans. It is cleaner and with more pure flavors than the Mexican food I grew up with in Los Angeles where the spices are stronger as a rule.
