Hey everyone, I’m Steph. Chris is behind the camera, and we’re Hungry Two Travel. Today in Mexico City, we’re going to be exploring the Condesa neighborhood. Now, this area is known for its unique early 20th century architecture, beautiful, big, wide walking streets. And, of course, incredible local street food.

Which is really why we’re here. And we feel like that’s why you’re here, too. So, come on. What are you waiting for? Let’s get eating. We’re here this morning at Churrería El Moro, which was one of the original places in Mexico City that specialize in Churros. Now, these are a traditional Spanish

Sweet that you can find all over the city. Were going to watch the whole entire cooking and preparation. I’m so excited because I love donuts and fried dough. So, let’s get to it. Wow! Oh, my gosh. That’s huge! Oh, my gosh. Okay, this one is way bigger than the first one

That they made, it’s huge. You can see it frying up in the hot oil. So, it’s going to get nice and crispy on the outside. And soft on the inside, just perfect. And here at the back, they’re making the chocolate, that nice rice drinking chocolate. Looks good.

I think we’re going to have to try some of that with our churro. We have got our nice, fresh, hot bag of churros here. Dipped in the cinnamon sugar, ooh. These smell so good. And we also got a hot chocolate, which, Mexico is famous for their chocolate.

So, I can’t wait to try that. But first, I need to dig into churros. Oh, my gosh. Okay. Look at the size… Of this churro. They are quite big. I thought they were all going to be quite straight. Not so rounded, but, I love the shape. Alright. Little less talking. More eating. Mmm.

Oh, my gosh. That is so much better than I could have ever imagined. They’re so crispy and crunchy, and fresh tasting on the outside. And look at that. So soft and doughy still on the inside. And that cinnamon sugar… Just gives it a nice sweetness because it’s your fried dough,

Which has a savouriness to it being cooked in the hot oil. But, that cinnamon sugar on top, just takes it to another level. Oh, my gosh. Mmm. And it’s surprising, for being such a thin shape, the outer crispy layer is actually quite thick, yet the inside is still so soft in there.

Just look at that. Ooh.. This is incredible. What a wonderful texture. And these are traditionally found all over the Spanish speaking world. So, they’re very popular and huge here in Mexico. Mmm. We’re definitely going to be eating a lot more of these, I think, in our time here. Delicious! Delicious! Very, very good.

These are super, super tasty. Mmm. It’s surprisingly quite light and airy for something that’s fried in oil. I just love the flavour of the dough and the crispiness of it. It’s nice and savoury, but sweet with that sugar on top. Okay, come here. Just listen how crunchy these are. Mmm. So sugary, too.

Oh, my gosh. These are so fresh. Just look at that. So warm still too. Double churro bite! Mmm. Alright, I want to get a taste of this traditional Mexican hot chocolate. Okay, look how rich and thick that looks. Oh, my gosh. And the smell… It just smells like pure chocolate.

Okay, I can’t wait. Cheers. Ooh. Oh, my gosh. That just tastes like pure chocolate. Different than any hot chocolate I’ve ever had before. It’s just thick. It’s velvety. Oh, my gosh, I’m going in for another one. Mmm. It honestly just tastes like a melted down chocolate bar.

That’s how thick and rich it tastes. That’s incredible. I can see why chocolate is so popular in Mexico, because they sure do it well. Mmm. Okay… I think, what we need to do… Is dip a little bit of this churro into this hot chocolate because, I feel like they deserve to be together.

Alright, let’s get a little dip of this in our hot chocolate here. Oh, look at that. Next level, churro. Here we go. Mmm. Ooh, that’s nice. Because it’s a hot chocolate, not a sauce, just adds a very mild chocolate flavour to the churro, actually. But it makes it kind of soft too, mmm.

That’s a good combo. I’m really glad we came to Churrería El Moro this morning to see the whole preparation of the churros because they’ve been around since 1935. It all started off with Francisco, who was a Spanish immigrant, and he started a cart selling churros in Zocalo

To sort of bring a little bit of his hometown to the city. And after two years of selling on his cart and getting really popular, he opened up a shop in the historic district. And about five years later, his three brothers took over, and it has been a family business ever since.

Now, they have places all over the city, and it’s definitely one of the places you need to go to try their churros because honestly, they do them up so well. Mmm. Definitely get their chocolate to go with it. It’s the perfect combo, mmm. It seriously is.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you very much. Delicious. The perfect sweet way, to start our day. Our next stop on our street food tour today is a can’t miss iconic family run stall that’s been around for over 20 years, and is a must visit when you’re in the Condesa neighborhood.

This is going to be good. And look at this lineup already. Wow. Fried chicken, chilaquiles, pulled pork. Yeah, everything, yeah! Thank you. Thank you, thank you. This is a hefty, hefty sandwich. So this store sells tortas, which are sandwiches here in Mexico. And they specialize in the Tortas de Chilaquiles.

And we got ours fully loaded. And as I was saying, it is so, so hefty. Look at this. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. This sandwich is massive, and it is just exploding out of this bun here. Such a crusty bun as well. Okay, let’s see what’s inside under the hood. So…

Oh, my gosh, look at all of those ingredients! So, here we have pulled pork, we have onions, we have sour cream, and we have this huge piece of breaded chicken cutlet here. As well as what makes this the star of the torta and special here at this stall, is this green chilaquiles,

Which are cut up tortilla chips simmered in green salsa. So… just look at all of those ingredients. There is just so much going on here. I just can’t get over how heavy and dense this sandwich is. Okay, cheers. Mmm. Wow. Ooh! Wow! The bread is so crusty and fresh,

Along with that chicken cutlet, also so crispy. Mmm, the chicken is tender. Ooh. They also spread the frijoles on the bottom of the bun here, but the sour cream. And the chilaquiles really give the flavour to this sandwich. It’s sour. It’s salty, it’s creamy, those chilaquiles give it a nice cake as well

With that green salsa. And, you can see they’re actually packing up because they’re sold out. So, we caught them just in time. They’re open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and it’s only 12:30pm, so they sold out. So, we just caught them. And I’m so happy we did because this torta is

So tasty. There’s so many ingredients, so many flavours. Mmm. It’s honestly like, a carb and protein flavour explosion, flavour bomb! With the pulled pork and the chicken cutlet. It’s just… there’s just so much going on. Oh, my gosh. That pork part too… Look at that. Just so tender. Marinated.

You can’t go wrong with pulled pork, but when you add it with a chicken cutlet, that double protein. I’m in heaven. Mmm, mmm hmm. Very delicious! Delicious, really good. Amazing. And check out the chilaquiles that are exploding out of the sandwich here. You can see, that they are pieces of the tortilla there.

And nice green colour because they’ve been simmered in that green salsa. And that’s what gives this sandwich such a nice, spicy kick to it. So really, really unique, having tortillas inside the bread. Let’s try this chilaquiles on their own. Mmm. Pretty soft and mushy because they’ve been simmered in that green salsa, but.

Woo. Yeah, that is a bit of a spicy kick to that. Oh, I love it. Honestly… What a unique sandwich. Oh, my gosh. I feel like there’s no good way to eat that. That is a messy sandwich. It’s falling all over the place. It’s all over my face, but.

I can truly see why that this place is so famous and there’s lineups every single day, because this sandwich is just, out of this world. Look at that. This is street food in Mexico at its finest. Oh, my gosh. Mmm mmm. Mmm hmm.

We’re here at Taqueria El Greco, which is a taqueria that’s been around since 1976, selling their famous Doneraky, which you can see behind me here. Now, this is super special and different than the popular Al Pastor taco here in Mexico. It originated in Iraw, so the spices

That are used are a little bit different than the usual Mexican flair. And it’s made with onions as well as other spices, like cumin. And, we got it in a gringa. And what makes this special is that it’s made with a wheat based pita bread instead of the usual corn flour.

It’s almost like a pita bread quesadilla here. So, let’s open it up and put some of these toppings on. So let’s see what we got underneath here. Oh, my gosh. You can see all this juicy, succulent pork meat there. Along with the cheese on this half of the pita bread.

Wow. Look at all that. And you can see the parsley and the onions there as well. Let’s put some of this salsa on. So it looks like we have a green salsa verde. So, we’ll put a little bit of that on As well as a nice red salsa there.

Here we have a fresh pico de gallo to put on as well. So, let’s add a little bit of that on. Splash of lime. Okay, cheers. Mmm. Oh, wow. That pork meat, is so juicy. Wow. It is just dripping. Ooh, that is amazing. Oh, my gosh. That salsa verde

Has a super big bite to that. That is very spicy. But, the pita bread is a nice change, actually, from the regular corn tortillas. It’s a bit thicker, but it just gives that different type of flavour to it, almost, yeah, like a Middle Eastern doner or a kebab flavour. Mmm. Ooh.

I can’t get over, how juicy that pork meat is. That doneraky. Oh, my gosh. The gringa is absolutely stuffed with this pork meat. And you can see, it’s just so fatty as well. Big chunks of the fat there, so. Ooh. Just so juicy. Let’s have this piece with the, hopefully

Less spicy red salsa here. Oh, look at that cheese on there as well. Oh, my gosh. Mmm. That’s less spicy. The cheese as a nice creamy texture to the gringa, and the pico de gallo here adds a nice fresh crunch too. This is really, really tasty.

Really different than other Mexican food that we’ve had here in Mexico City so far. You can really taste that difference in flavour with the meat, with the cumin flavour, and the parsley. Really, really comes out in the meat here. This is such a unique and different Mexican dish

With the use of the pita bread and just the doneraky itself. I really honestly just love the taste of that pork. It’s just so juicy, dripping off the spit over there. And let’s have, an ultimate salsa, gringa bite. Mmm. Woo! Spicy. Right in the center of Condesa neighborhood is Parque México.

And, it’s a really interesting area because it actually used to be the old horse racetrack back in the early 1900s, which they’ve now converted into a much needed and beautiful green space for walking around. So, it’s just a great place to come and chill out, and escape the hustle and bustle

Of Mexico City. Thank you, thank you very much. Look at the size of these tacos. So, we’ve got a couple of different salsas to put on top of our tacos here. We’re going to go for a mid range spicy. Here. Some nice red salsa. Okay, there we go.

Looks like we’ve got some pickled and kind of peppery looking onions. So, get some of those on here. Okay this one is very spicy, so we’ll just put just a little bit on each one, I think. Oh, man. Fresh… Lime juice on all of them here. Oh, yes!

Alright, let’s find a seat and get eating. We’re here at Tacos Hola El Güero. And this is a legendary spot that’s been open for 55 years selling Guisado, which is basically a stewed dish that goes on your tacos. But, it also can just be anything that’s kind of a home style cooked dish.

They have 21 different kinds in there, and we got three different ones here. So the three we got is nopales, which is cactus. We also got Calabazitas, which is Pumpkin, and Higado, which is a liver. I’m going to start with this prickly pear cactus one. Oh, my gosh.

This is a hefty, hefty taco. Alright. Mmm. The texture of the prickly pear cactus is so interesting. It has like a slight crunch to it. But it’s also quite soft, a little bit mushy. And it almost because it’s like a succulent, it kind of explodes in your mouth

A little bit when you bite it. That’s really satisfying, actually, ooh. And the crunchiness of the onions is really nice with a too, the fresh ones that we put on. And those salsas have a decent kick to them. Very good spice. Mmm. What a unique taco. So different

Than anything we’ve tried yet in Mexico, mmm. You can see the prickly pear almost has like a sticky, sliminess to it, which is really weird and interesting. It’s almost juicy. Mmm. It almost has the crunchiness and texture of the bell pepper or something like that, that’s been cooked Mmm.

I really like that, though. Next up, we’ve got our pumpkin taco. And you can see all of the pieces here of pumpkin. All the chunks inside of it there. Look at that. Those tacos are absolutely filled! They’re so packed. I can’t get over that. Next hefty taco. Mmm. Wow

That almost has a sweetness to it, from the pumpkin, mmm. That’s really tasty. It’s quite mushy and soft in texture. Mmm. And the corn tortillas on the outside are so soft and fresh as well. Goes really well with it. These tacos are really unique because they’re vegetarian, and with guisado, with the stew,

It actually makes them quite a wet taco, which is very different than other tacos that have been really meaty that we’ve had so far. But it’s a really nice change, actually, because there’s a lightness to it, and it really does tastes like a home cooked meal inside of your taco. Mmm.

It’s a nice change. Las,t but not least, this is one of their specialties, the liver and onion, Higado. And it looks so good. Just packed with liver. It’s got the stewed onions, as well as you put fresh onions on it, too. So, it’s double the onion. Oh, man. Cheers, taco cheers. Mmm.

That’s packed. The taste of the liver is so nice. It has your typical kind of pasty texture, but it’s also a bit firmer than other liver that I think I’ve eaten before. But, it has such a nice taste from being stewed in its juices, and whatever spices they’ve added to it.

That is a very flavourful taco, I’d have to say. It might actually be my favourite one. It’s juicy. It’s just meaty. Ooh, this is a good one. Mmm. I love just how unique each one of these tacos was. And like I said before, they have 21 different kinds.

So, I think it might be our goal by the end of our time here in Mexico to try every possible guisado that you can, because they all just look so good. And, I’m glad we got here when we did, because it’s lunchtime, and this place is really busy, full of people.

So, I can understand why it’s been around 55 years just pumping out their delicious home cooked stews, the guisados. These are just delicious, and… We’re going to need some walking around the neighborhood I think, after this. Mmm. This has been such a fun day exploring the Condesa neighborhood, eating some delicious food.

It’s so beautiful here, and we have one last stop to try a very interesting taco that we’ve been looking forward to all day today. Hello. How are you? Pork. Pork? Pork. Woo! So, we are here at Rifados Taquería to try their tacos. Now, the owner, Israel told us that we have to try

Their Pastor taco here, which is one of the most famous tacos here in Mexico City. And, you can see behind me here, the spit of pork meat here. Along with the signature pineapple on the top too that makes the Al Pastor taco its… signature. So, just look at that

Delicious pork meat there, with the cilantro, the onion, as well as, like I was saying, the special pineapple there that makes Al Pastor tacos, Al Pastor. And Israel was saying that, we have all four of his special salsas here. And he said, here in Mexico, salsas just have to be spicy.

So, we have a hot, a hotter, an even hotter, and the hottest salsa here, he said. So, I think we’re going to have to put all of them on. Since we have two of the Al Pastor tacos, we’ll make one that’s less hot and one that’s super hot.

And this is second level spicy here. So, maybe we’ll just put a few drops And we have level three here. You can see this one’s a bit thicker there. Oh, my goodness. Look at that. And this is the spiciest of the four salsas here. Wow. Look at that. You can even just see,

Some of the chili seeds in there. Let’s just put, a few dabs of that on because… oh. We don’t want to die. Okay, here we go. Look how filled, this taco is, too, look at that. Can’t wait to try the pineapple here. Cheers. Mmm. Mmm! Surprisingly, the salsas

On this less spicy taco, not that spicy. Maybe it’s because the pineapple adds such a nice sweetness to the taco, But, that pork meat. Ooh, it’s so juicy, with the spices, And it’s, you can see the red colour of it slightly. It’s because it’s rubbed with dried chilies as well.

Ooh, it’s just so flavourful. The cilantro and the onion too add a nice crunch and freshness. Mmm. I love that pineapple on this, too. Such a nice take, on a taco. Israel, ooh, very delicious! So delicious. The pineapple, definitely makes the al pastor here. Mmm hmm.

Okay, let’s try the spicier salsa Taco Al Pastor here. Mmm, mmm hmm. Honestly… still not too spicy. Maybe I didn’t put enough on. Let’s get a little bit more of that hottest salsa on to really feel that fire. Kick it up a notch! Okay. Let’s give it a try. Mmm. Mmm. Ooh.

Yeah, that’s getting spicier. That heat is building. Woo. But honestly, the pineapple really cuts the spiciness of the taco, actually. Mmm. Woo. Okay, now I am sweating. That spicy salsa is definitely super, super spicy. Very, very spicy. So, once we finish this Al Pastor taco, we’re going to try

What we came here for specifically, is they’re special Rifadas. And this should be really, really delicious. Mmm. But, that… Is really tasty. Mushrooms. Ah, cheese. Woo! So, here we have our special mushroom Rifadas, which is almost like an open face taco. So, we have a layer of cheese, queso here, and underneath,

So many mushrooms on a tortilla here. Oh, my gosh. Wow. Look at that. Just dripping, so juicy from those mushroom juiciness. Okay this is so hot, but, let’s get a nice bite. Whoo! Mmm. The juiciness from the mushrooms really give that mushroom, almost truffle like flavour. But, just look at that

Cheese there, just spewing out, the mushrooms there. Ooh. So cheesy. And the top layer is so crispy as well. And, I like it, on the flour tortilla here. Nice and thin, you can see. So, it’s just literally mushrooms, queso cheese, and just deliciousness. And you can really smell that cooked mushroom smell Mmm.

So stringy, ooh. Ooh, look at that. So cheesy. There’s so many mushrooms there, too. Look at that. What a unique take on a taco, exploding with mushrooms, just insanely cheesy. This is the perfect way to end our day today, in Contessa. Ooh, look at that! Mmm, mmm hmm. Amazing. So yummy.

So, what’s this one? This tequila. Just tequila? Just tequila, yes. So, to officially end our day today, the owner, Israel, said we had to try his local tequila here. We actually haven’t had tequila since we’ve been in Mexico. And he said when we drink it, we have to drink it like it’s

Little kisses. So… slowly, slowly. Slowly, slowly. Little kisses, that’s the Mexican way. Not shots. Which is the usual way people drink tequila, slowly, slowly. Here in Mexico, nice and slow. So, cheers, cheers. Cheers. Cheers. Slowly, slowly. That’s smooth! That is smooth, usually I put on quite a face when I drink alcohol.

I don’t think it had much of a face there. That’s good for me. This is good tequila. That’s very nice. Now, this is the perfect way to end our day today in Mexico City. It sure is. Oh, man. Just perfect. That is some nice tequila. Goes down good. Tequila in Mexico….

Something special, that’s for sure. That’s delicious. And she doesn’t like tequila usually. I don’t usually. I know I’m still putting on a bit of a face, but I actually do like it, I just really can’t help my face. I don’t know what to say… Delicious.
