Hell of an origin story.

The sister or the birria?
@@ericktellez7632 both
Wow, this is deeper than just food, it’s about getting acceptance in your new home while still being anchored to the old.
This isn’t their new home they’ve been here for life
@@reginaldhuckstable9797 new and old are relative. If I buy a used car, that car is new to me even when it’s old to the previous owner and the factory.
@Brad1156 so if I love Italian food, I’m suddenly Italian and has to move out to Italy?
@Brad1156 if u aint mixed your culture remains at heart regardless of if u are in the US.
yeah, it is a story about two people breaking the law every single day of their life by being in a country they are not legally allowed to be in; and the idiot sheep who support them.
"I started to use my real name for the first time." - that hit me.
@@HomeSkillit Try working in the fields. I have and even as a citizen I can say the society is wired that way. No one wants those jobs no matter how vital they are.
I’ve never broken the law 😂😂😂😂😂
@@diabeticpanda8979 only some laws protect normal people most laws protect multi billion dollar corporations xD
I live in Australia and while we get spectacular food from all over Asia, we just don't have anywhere NEAR this level of quality Mexican food. Really wish I could taste this! Love from Aus and wishing these guys all the success.
True!
You should also look into something called Barbacoa de Res. It’s super similar but prepared differently depending on the region of Mexico.
@@frisco9568 Oooh thank you! I'l have a look!
@@ayishagerussi9382 I swear you need a proper authentic experience🇲🇽🔥birria is know to be either goat or lamb, but barbacoa is usually beef.
Good to know! Should set up shop in australia
I am in Oakland for business from Florida. After watching this video I had to give this food truck a try. I travel a lot and love to try tacos from all over the U.S. This truck by far has the best tacos Ive ever had. I went with the quesabirria with three tacos and dipping juice. I actually drank the left over juice from the cup . Unbelievably good. Please check this place out. I will be back every time I’m in Oakland.
I'm from Oakland and I confirm their Tacos are Official!
Lucky
I want to like this, but can''t ruin the ration. LOL
Also in the East Bay, guess I need to try them.
Is this truck in the dubs ? I go to the one on 27th e14
@@mrfanatic2292 Nah, I go to the one next to Nation's downtown, by Jack London. No where near the murder dubs.
Next time I come to see you cousin you should take me to get some of these tacos #AFNF
Birrias not ready, crank up the music 🤣🤣🤣 love it
Nothing better than working a job that you enjoy. The dream!!
These guys are so genuine and real. They seem to have an amazing bond.
These type of people are the backbone of America!!
Exactly! That's some Republicans don't seem to understand.
@Big Al Glad these guys are talented in the kitchen and the food looks delish, but that doesn't justify coming to the states illegally while others respect the process. Some of my family in the Philippines are still waiting to come here LEGALLY - and it's been over 10 years! This guy laughing it off that he got a fake identity and SS is a bit disturbing to me.
Illegal immigrants selling tacos are not the backbone of America.
@The Joker that was actually the whole point of America. guess you never got the memo.
@@TomJones-zm3kz Maybe they are and maybe they're not. But shitbag coward bigots like you certainly are not the backbone of America.
“And this guys crazy so he did it” 💯💯💯
So much respect for these guys. This right here is what America is and should be all about. I wish them the best of luck. I will DEFINITELY lookout for your restaurant next time I'm in Oakland.
Truly inspiring life story. And funny too with the guy saying he would've hated anybody dating his sister. 😆
*baby sister is the word :)
I’m from Oakland and this is actually the place I get my birria tacos what a coincidence I saw this on YT
Where can u find the truck?
@The Cuban yea. They are insanely good.
Him speaking about being under daca hit home. People don’t talk about it enough. God bless.
@Brad1156 Shut up Brad
@Brad1156 im mexican and i agree with most of what you said
@Brad1156 no you are stupid. most countries work like thiat. if you are born in it you are automatically a citizen. and dont forget that your country is build on people seeking better life and succeeding because they are hard working ... after all a lazy person wouldnt leave their home country
That "Ratatouille moment" is just incredible.
I've never tried their food, but after watching this video I am rooting for them and wishing them all the success! I was excited to learn that they are in Oakland. We've tried tacos all over the bay area, but to see that they are close, we'll have a new go-to spot. Thank you Eater for connecting me to these guys
i’m a simple person: i see taco, i click taco
Now this is the American dream
everything about this makes these tacos seem like they'd be the most flavorful things ever, looks delicious
Doesn’t get more American than this. Viva la raza🇲🇽
This is some true authentic Mexican food. Looks absolutely delicious!!
The food looks amazing!!!! Congratulations to them for the growth and success of the business. Hoping it only gets better for them. I don't know anything about DACA and I thought it was cool how they used this opportunity to share about their experiences.
DACA Brothers! 💪🏽 Keep doing your thing fellas
Wish these guys a lot of success!
This. This right here. This is why I hate it when people refer to DACA applicants as 'anchor babies' and all that other nonsense. This is why programs like DACA are important, that man is twice the American that most are. Respect.
Thats awesome that u guys got together and made a great business for yourselves and give other people a taste of their culture thats they havent had in a long time. Keep up the great work.....
These guys are so great and I wish them every success… they deserve it!
That looks awesome. Congrats to you both for working so hard. This is what America is all about. Giving people an opportunity to showcase their potential.
Eater, yall been giving Oakland so much love! I love it! 🤍🤍🤍
Anytime I think about complaining, I remember how incredibly privileged I have been considering I was born here and given every opportunity to succeed. So many people come here with nothing but a dream.. not even an identity. They're forced to start 10 steps behind while most of us are 20 steps ahead, and yet they still find success and are able to make something so fulfilling. It's really inspiring, and it serves as a reminder that the only thing stopping me, is me. What's your excuse?
These f-ing dudes are rocking! Dang. I wanna try everything they make now! Keep on keeping on, guys!
Wish TH-cam had a love button
The like doesn’t feel enough for this
Just love your shows! Some I´d wished the lasted for hours :) Thx guys !
The story and the inspiration is so great behind their work.
Best chef I ever seen for along time
"Yeah so he was dating my sister and I hated him, I tasted his food and then *I cut off my sister and me and him started dating.*"
LMFAOOO
😂😂😂
💀💀
What really happened’ xD

Thank you, incredibly this docuseries continues to sustain award worthy level of quality, beauty and generosity of talent and spirit. DAM I want a taco made with that much love
Thank you eater for always giving new and upcoming chefs the spotlight, in every cuisine not just fine dining.
Happy for these fellas and I’m glad it’s in Oakland.
Anyone else see this pop up just after a Babish episode about this exact thing? Glad to see how authentic he was. :D
Orgullosa de mi sobrino Leonel oblea sigan puro para adelante

I am from Sacramento, we have great trucks too. Next time I am in Oakland I will check you out. Thanks for the video.

Would love to try a taco of that sort!!!! You guys keep it up!!!!
Good stuff. Keep up the good work, keep the good food coming.
So many ways 2 enjoy this classic. 🌮 Tuesdays. 🥑🍅🧅🌽🥬🧄🌶️🧀🥃
Thank you for the Oakland lunch suggestion Eater. Went out and found the truck on Broadway near Jack London Square. Delicious! Would have liked a little more kick from chilis but still an amazing meal! Paired it with a Boba Tea from Chinatown. Food coma!!
Haha great comment!
the only thing that would have made it really awesome & funny is, if you finished it by saying "And then I got on the plane back to North Carolina" or somewhere far from Oakland😂
So California! I live in an area that is like half Mexican/half Filipino. I go get my Mexican food and then head to the Boba shop for my milk tea or passionfruit green tea! 🤤
Loved his story!!
This is definitely worth a visit to Oakland!
Good for you guys, we like ppl who work
I love these guys
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD.
