Thanks to Jeffrey Merrihue ( / jeffrey_merrihue ) and Austin Burgess ( / rocketburgess .
Along with Jeffrey and Austin - two food extreme friends, we set off on a day of Mexican food and fun feasting in greater LA.
Gilberto’s Taquiza - For the first stop on this Mexican street food tour, we drove all the way to West Covina, California, about 45 minutes from Central Los Angeles, to a little spot known as Gilberto’s Taquiza. Jeffrey made sure to call Gilberto himself to reserve some of the meat dripping dynamite sticks to make sure we had some. The dynamite sticks are essentially stewed lamb, cooked until fall apart tender and dripping with oil. In order to make them he dunked a tortilla into the hot oil, sizzled it on the hot plate, filled it with the fall apart tender meat, and rolled it up into a taquito. The result was spectacular. Everything else was delicious too, but the dynamite sticks were crazily good.
Total price - $35 for everything
Birrieria Guadalajara - Next we drove a little further towards Riverside, California, to eat birria, a special Mexican goat stew. Again, this is another Mexican food that just melts in your mouth, meat cooked until fall apart tender. It was spectacular and all the staff were very friendly as well.
Total price - $32 for everything
Mitla Cafe - Right across the street from Birrieria Guadalajara you will find Mitla Cafe, home to the original crunchy American taco. An American taco is a crunchy shell, ground beef, iceberg lettuce, yellow cheese, and tame salsa. As the true story goes, Glen Bell was selling food across the street and used to come to Mitla Cafe to eat their amazing crunchy tacos. Eventually he got the owner to show him how to make the crunchy tacos, and he later started the entire taco bell empire. The downside is that he never admitted that he got the idea and recipe from Mitla Cafe. It’s nice to see Mitla Cafe is still doing very well, and their crunchy American tacos are fantastic.
Price - $13.95
Taco Bell - Yes, just for comparison purposes, we had to go to the nearly Taco Bell. It had been years since I had last eaten taco bell. I have to admit the crunchy tacos were decent, but the crunchwrap supreme doritos locos thing we order, nope. That just didn’t do it for me.
Mariscos Jalisco - Finally to end this Mexican street food tour of LA, we headed to Mariscos Jalisco, a legendary seafood truck serving their famous shrimp tostadas and the Poseidon. They were delicious in every dimension, and it was the perfect ending to this full day of amazing Mexican food in LA.
Total price - $13 for everything
Thank you for watching this LA food video!

Im Italiano and i love mexican food so much. Greets to all my Mexican brothers & Sisters!!
I'm African American and i swear im Mexican i love the food so much!❤🔥
Greetings to you both amigos. And thank you.
Thanks...hi there😉
Food brings us all together. It is said the blacks love fried chicken. As a white man I love fried chicken. We can love chicken and love each other if we want to. I have decided to love people of all races and ethnicity. We are all different but we all bleed the same.
We have the same color flags!
The Mexican people are so very humble and hard working. And make super amazing food.
I don’t think so
And don't forget incredibly racist and nasty
It ain't nothing humble about you evil people and yes I said that to you
Taco truck food changed my life for the better 🌮 👍
Lies again? Taco Madness Delicious Food
everyone born and raised in L.A grows up eating Mexican food, doesn't matter if you're Mexican or not..at it's heart and soul, Mexican food is the food of Los Angeles..
i would say that is true of the whole of CA, im from San Francisco, and its the same thing up here, mexican food everywhere, white, black, asian, latin, jewish, arab, etc all eat mexican food all the time.
yeah but not all of us eat taco bell i only eat it to cleanse. hahahahaha
Thats true mexican food its a human heritage for everyone
Cause you guys swam over here and made it so. Fml
So true
Shout out to the Mexican food culture. I'm African American, but boy I tell you, I could never resist the taste of taco's, tostada's, and burritos
Mexican food is my favorite cuisine so anytime you film a Mexican food tour I MUST watch.
me too
🤣😂
I also love food
@@yourdaughterdoesanal2650 ohhhh myyyy
Leya Talks Mexican Food and the backpage escort sections for you
hahaha
I'm German and Mexican. My German dad married my mom for her cooking as I'm convinced. I love Mexican food... real mexican food.
I’m Mexican and German I am convinced my German mom married my dad for his Mexican food..

It's really difficult watching this video, and not being able to eat these delicious types of food, its so mouth watering.
chozenuno mouth watering for sure
chozenuno ✌right👏
that's tight y'all know butter bean✌✌👏👏✌🤔👍👏👏
I know specially when your on a bodybuilding diet. So sad.. 😫😫
Just cause youre on a diet dosent mean you can't eat food you like. Just don't eat like a pig everyday
I used to go to Cielito Lindo on Olvera street with my grandpa when I was a boy. I loved their taquitos with the avocado sauce and cotija cheese. This vid reminded me of those happy days, so thank you.
Im a simple guy, I see somebody trying mexican tacos, I click.
Also If you are reading this, I love you, fellow human person ❤
Luv u more 💘🤗
Love ya +
I love u 2 bby😘
This type of comment is soooo over used.....
Its pathetic really.....
💖
I lived in San Bernardino for years. Mitla is the best! So many memories! Good Times!
I can only imagine yings face in the morning when he drinks a cup of coffee and says "Oh... Wow" 365 times a year
this is counting only the breakfasts, haha
I can't believe I just watched Mark eat Tacos at Taco Bell after watching him eat some awesome looking tacos in Tiajuana! LOL
Nah no need to be stuck up about it. Both are good for different times, different places.
Yesssssss!
Not all things are comparable.
@@kevinswift8654 Who was stuck up ? And because you took it seriously, I will never see a perfect time to eat Taco Bell. It’s so easy to make a taco yourself and there’s no need for fast food tacos when you can get street tacos which are probably cheaper too.
Asian foods and Mexican foods, I can’t choose but I love both.
I’m watching this with no food around and an empty stomach rn btw.... 🤤🤤😫
Fortunately, we don't have to choose... Enjoy both!
I’m German I love Mexican food it’s my second favorite cuisine I love tacos burritos enchiladas fajitas 🤤🤤
Fajitas are american btw
Burritos are also American, not authentic mexican food.
Grüße
As Mexicans we like crepes
@@Mr.Papos. Burritos are from northern Mexico tho
I like this guy cus he is respectful an knows his food...it's just the faces he pulls while eating I can't handle 😂
hahaha close eyes, head to the side
Df does respectful have to do with the video tho
17:27 “Machine created” that really got me good 😂 😂 😂 well done, Mark. Made my day happy and laughter 😂 His reaction eating the food from Taco Bell gets me every time I watch it, it’s so funny 😂
The facial expressions you make when you take a bite make me hungry. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
You know it’s good when mark’s eye goes “wonky”. 🤪lol. 🌮🌮
Fernando Areola
That happens everytime when literally anything eatable being in his month lol
He looks like psychopath while he eats
my dog has the same reaction when she sees me eating
乃εαsτ TM 😁
As much as I love traditional Mexican tacos, I still go for a Taco Bell crispy taco every now and then. Love your videos Mark!
Lmao you can't even compare the two. They shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.
Taco bell is trash
Hey taco bell is fire when ur drink
Yep , sometimes you don't wanna taste cilantro onions all dayy after eating taco truck tacos
@@Lion_ReyThey weren’t comparing the two at all 🤡
I'm very proud of being born and raised in Los Angeles. To those who love Mexican food....
Cheers everyone!
lmao! I like how the driver was serious about describing why he liked the dorito gorditas and Mark was like LOL no.
LMAO yeah that was the best part. 17:38 "that's pretty damn good, yeah". Dude was clearly obsessed with Taco Bell rofl
As soon as he said that I was like, now I know why this boss ordered the gordita too, lmao.
Me encanta tu mueca de satisfacción con nuestros platillos hermano un saludo y viva México
,
e. m¡¡¡¡¡z mex meserqzhh
@Braulio Negron así que me dices que México el país de donde nacieron los verdaderos tacos no son comida mexicana? Muy lógico
Y ami no me gustan sus expressiones, le exagera. Ni ex Mexicano y aqui anda comiendo esto.
@@maribeluriostegui4969 Bueno en parte pero lamentablemente es el platillo mas común que indetifica a mexico en el extranjero siempre en una platica sobre México ablan de tacos por cierto me gusta mas el mole pobrano.
I'm drooling, you're drooling, everybody's drooling 😋 such a drool worthy episode. 😍❤️
I'm not drooling, you're drooling.
I’m going to Mitla right now for the OG tacos 🌮 I live 1 hour away. Will be my first trip there!
Boy, Jeffrey facial expression is priceless, Mark thanks for taking us along for another awesome video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mimi N Thank you Mimi!
Homie be eating some wild food but this time i could go all in with him! My mouth actually watered! I was on my way to sleep... never watch a food video on the way to sleep.. i'm going to be dreaming about taquitos
About time LA honored the real master of fast food. Congrats to all street vendors, you are now free to roam about the city!
I don’t know how I feel about THE Mark Wiens eating processed fast food like Taco Bell and giving an honest review 😆 it’s hilarious 😂, but I still love to watch!
Not processed food here. This isn't taco bell lol
Took me too long to find a comment mentioning it lmao he got so somber and serious too
Tacos + Mark = a fun 25 minute video!
Let me grab a snack for this!
Your Experience and Expressions Are Endless..Mark...
I am really loving you and Jeff together. You are such a genuine person that you're making such great friends on your travels...
Mark is my hero
hi keykey how are you? long time no see..
Mark's palate when he was eating at Taco Bell just had me dying!! We've seen him eat at the oldest restaurant in the world and then have a small plate of eels for over $100.00 and then he's eating a taco for a buck fifty and just laughing. I loved that! Born and raised in Cali and Mexican food is life!! We eat it at least 3-4 times a week.
Watching amazing food being eaten while I chew on my .25 cent ramen noodle cup
Chey000 0 lol me and my cornflakes... lol I appreciate what I have thought.. I'm very thankful
That doggo is cute
nice doggo
Saddd
Chey000 0 makes u think u eating that bomb food too almost taste it
That was the most honest Taco Bell review of all, or any time ever... I loved it. Mark seems to be such a real person.
There is much more to the story, oversimplified. I wrote a book called FAST FOOD CHRONICLES.
He’s me when I’m High asf eating😆
Don't
.eat I just ate..blt.. but tmall..
When the munchies hit
Lmfao me too I be all smiling and laughing while eating lol 😂
😂😂😂
For real! For real! 😂😂😂
The American dude was so excited at Taco Bell 😂 he was so confident ordering
The moment Mark walked back to the restaurant with determination on his face for the Fire sauce, I saw how serious he was. It was business. LOL.
LOL!!
Yes, it was business because Taco Bell is a business and he just paid for food from said business.
Very true, they asked for the fire sauce, paid for their food and everything was not in the bag!!! I hate that! By the way, my LOL comment was for Tulan's post.
Tulan Katyl
The food is irresistible
I don't get why people complain about Jeffrey? :( He seems super nice and knowledgable! As always Mark, thumbs up for the great content!
Marie Bonaparte I agree with you.
Never seen one comment that says they complain about him
there are several down below to which Jeffrey even responded :/ hope they got deleted, they were really mean...
Thank you!
I hate him because he does the same reaction every time he eats something nothing tastes bad to this guy bro he eats everything might even eat himself someday
Jeffrey HUGE props to you! I kept wondering when grease was going to hit your shirt. And you made it out alive! Now that mad food skills bruh!!!
First ever time in my life my shirt came out ok...
I’m amazed!
I love the faces Mark makes when he tries the food! I wonder how he eats all that food in a day
Also Mark eats everything like it's his first time eating anything which is amazing.
True that, but believe me, birria and barbacoa are really amazing
I'm Guatemala yet make Mexican food my favorite is pozole
Pues el pozole no sé si en la época prehispánica también se haría en Guatemala
What's that
Ive never had Guatemalan food, whats it like. Its funny beacuse Mexican food is so different then all the countries in Latin America
@@micholakinola1053 Mexican soup
@@micholakinola1053 hominy, chicken, but mostly pork chunks in a red broth. Topped with cabbage, radish, onion, lime. Soooooo good
hes so extra w the smiling and over doing it, he should be on food network for sure lmAO
He shouldn't waste his time on the food network. He's his own boss, doing what we love about him.
He probably makes more money than if he were on food network. He gets a total of billions of views. $$$$
@@LexiKapono No he doesn’t.
@@uncleclem7381 how do you know(
@@LexiKapono Because he does not get billions of views. Not even a billion. Look at his view count lol
I need some good Mexican tacos in my life 😳🥰🥰🥰 OMG looks so good seriously!
Tom petty: but remember good tacos are hard to find you got lucky babe!
You need some Mexican chorizo in your life
You can't make them yourself ?
Jeffery is gonna explode...I want to be as confident in life as him...just look at the way he's confident about his shirt buttons when he sits down...wow!
devam rikhi
Lmaooooo
lol ... WOW!
omfg lmfaoooooooooooooo
I want to be confident as devam. Ability to deflect while packing small genitalia is amazing.
Clean shirt was a triumph this day!
I love this dudes personality its just raw and authentic i like how he enjoys every bite he takes keep doing you my man
Oh boy Mark..you and Jeffery are such extreme foodies!! All if it HAD to be flavour explosion one after the other👍👍 really drool worthy episode 👏👏
I love the food, i hate the plastic cutlery
Jeffrey is great!
Karmini Parsan kiss up
Edwin Huisman,
Pro Tip: You shouldn't be eating the cutlery, plastic or otherwise.
Thank you dear brother from another mother...
I noticed when mark likes the food ,he moves he's eyes😀🤪
I’m so glad you stopped by to get shrimp tacos!!! They’re absolutely incredible
the best pair ever- Mark & Jeffrey! watching from the Philippines...
He is a great guy!
finally you do a food tour in my area im gunna have to check these places out! :) LMAO mark laughing at the taco from taco bell.
Man, you guys can eat!! I wish I had the same appetite. The Mexican videos were delicious.
Thank you Mark.

I could eat all that for months and not get tired of it 🤗💯🤗
Scorpor Supremacy me too
I finally found this video again. Mark keep up the fantastic work with the culinary trail of food! Thank you for doing what you do. Sharing the food of all ethnicities.
Lived in West Covina , Azusa ,Riverside
Love all the Mexican food
I would love to eat as you do and not get fatter... :-) I am from Nicaragua, I live in Canada and my favorite food in all the world is mexican food... Looking for my next trip to Mexico after give birth!
“It’s kinda good but if you think about it..... no” hahaha the truth
homie with the shades on is loving the fact they hit up Taco Bell.
Yes yes!!!! Mexican food tour!!!! Feel like a kid all over again!!
You and me both because i grew up on Mexican food its amazing
LA Mexican food is way better than any other states Mexican food hands down
I love the food, i hate the plastic cutlery
Hardwork Paysoff you ever been to southern Texas? That’s the best Mexican food but LA is good as well
Edwin Huisman, Pro Tip: You shouldn't be eating the cutlery, plastic or otherwise.
The fresh corn tortillas in Mexico were so amazing. I don't know how they manage to get them so supple there. Completely different product than American made corn tortillas. Those look more like Mexican style. I grew up in New Mexico which has its own cuisine and I still love NM and real Mexican food.
They make them from Masa please
Mark's reaction when he bites into food is legendary.
Mark - your energy and enthusiasm for what you do is awesome. Keep rocking the life you love man!
Thank you, Mark, for visiting San Bernardino! I've seen you travel the world and never thought you would end up in my hometown. I have dined at Mitla's Cafe and it's exciting to know you ate there too. SB Strong 12-2-15

That perfect timing of the romantic music right after 11:40 ! Food is love! 🧡
Real tacos and real Mexican foods
... and Taco Bell.
not exactly
@@daysimaytevillegassantiago7819
Yes exactly :)
I love the food, i hate the plastic cutlery
+SUNN L. - chili peppers and tomatoes both originated in Mexico/South America and were brought to Spain in about the 15th Century. They have been cultivated in South America since about 7000 BC. Also, corn originated in Mexico - the Spanish developed flour tortillas based on the corn ones they found in Mexico.
QUE VIVA MI MEXICO LINDO & TAMBIÉN SU GASTRONOMÍA 🇲🇽
Amen
I Love ❤ Mark Wiens videos very much..I like this Mexican street food in Los Angeles, California! 😋😋😋 Awesome recipe! 👌👌👌

Farmer Cooking Anyone know what Mark Weins does to stay so slim haha
A well loved tapeworm.
I thought the gentleman that said they take a shot every time mark say “oh wow “ and turns his head /rolling his eyes was priceless. I wonder if mark realizes he never varies the response lol 😂
Btw the Mitla Cafe, Birrieria Guadalajarais, Amapola are in San Bernardino not Riverside. I've lived there my whole life. These places are amazing and have been eating here for years.
All on Mt Vernon, my sister used to work at Mitla cafe
Between Jeffrey's head nod n marks yummy face this is the funniest ever !
3000 miles away and would love to go to LA and enjoy all the great Mexican food and the culture ! Would be amazing !!!
Yummm 😋 I get so happy when you share Mexican food with us 😋❤️
I grew up in mid-city L.A. and ate a lot of different ethnic foods, but Mexican hands down is my favorite. As a kid my mom would take us to Olvera Street for the real deal Mexican eating experience. I used to watch a Mexican grandmother piling up hand made tortillas on her kitchen counter. Real refried beans start out as boiled pinto beans and then are put in a skillet with bacon grease and mashed, before being topped with shredded cheese. Sorry guys... after eating authentic Mexican foods, I would never eat at Taco Bell, but I know its part of the story you want to tell.
Now I want some of my moms refried beans 😪
Im 100 percent Mexican, and grew up with the traditions. Ain’t nothing wrong with taco brll
Do You know where is the barbacoa place in california.
Thanks
Where is the john market the barbacoa place in LA
MID CITY THE BEST PLACE IN LA I WENT TO MARVIN
I woke up thinking healthy eating today until I saw this video!!
I saw this . Went 420 came back clicked on n saw again
stryfetc1 too late! I wish I had enough will power.
stryfetc1 nope, not gonna work either because there will be another Mark Video before I wake up. I will once again click on that video and fall into the pit of food. It’s a cycle I’m trying to break through prayer!😆

Mexican food is healthy. The USA's definition of healthy food is not correct.
I just love the joy in your facial expressions whenever you’re eating man you are real connoisseur of food and obviously appreciate it as much as I do excellent video bro bro
Jeffrey has such great food expertise that not a drop of grease or sauce on the white shirt
That is the only day ever I didny stain my shirt...
Omg..... being pregnant and watching this is killing me! I gotta have tacos!!!!
Dont know you but, Congratulations!
If you eat Mexican food while pregnant your child will want to enjoy such a variety of amazing spicy dishes as soon as he or she will born..
Katie Langston JUST DONT TELL THE DADDY ITS NOT YOUR CHEESE (NACHO CHEESE)...ITS A JOKE😁😂😂😂
Congrats
Same!!!!! I’m 32 weeks and I’m craving tacos so bad
I LOVE your channel! I'm traveling to LA next month, and I'm dying to eat some REAL Mexican food (I'm a Mexican living in the Netherlands). Thanks for making this video! I've just bought one of your t-shirts. :) Can't wait to wear it.
If you are in LA right now

Paulina Guzman San Bernardino. I believe it’s off mt Vernon...
I’m convinced he be high all day lol
Not high, I think he's a drinker. You can tell by the way his hand is always shaky and his eyes are always glossed over
I make vegan tacos for breakfast or egg tacos. And i have taco for dinner maybe and I'm high all day not even Mexican but tacos the best food when ur high
Who???
Drinking don’t give u those crazy eyes lol no offense mark love the videos! Nothing wrong with getting a little high😂
Oh he's lit bud !!! Mmmmmm Ohhh wow !
Dude with the shades😎 enjoyed taco bell the most😂
It's not 🌮 bell. Know you're fact.
There is nothing cooler than to be far away in another country, with a day off eating with locals in a local eatery and having a beer, there's nothing better, i stress there is *nothing* better!!!!!!!! "Live Mas!" 😎👍🌎
I watch your videos with my teens. We tried the restaurants recently in Lisbon Portugal, but we live in Costa Mesa so now we’re going to try all these soon!! Thanks for posting wish we could’ve met you for a picture!!
GREAT VIDEO AMIGO!!. VIVA MEXICO. ECUADORIAN WATCHING FROM NEW YORK CITY
Swiit Lime because he can.
This dude sells the food well. Amazing food.
The Gordita crunch part is hilarious. They sound as stoned as I am!
YUM! Mexican food is hands down some of the most complex and misunderstood cuisines in the world... its by far my favourite! Sadly where I live it's extremely difficult to get anything close to authentic... I'd love to travel back to Mexico again!
Marie Lawson I get the feeling Mexican food is at or near the top of Mark’s list too.
you don't have to go to Mexico ...you can find authentic Mexican in Los Angeles..remember, the Los Angeles metropolitan area has the largest Mexican community outside of Mexico...as a consequence , you can find authentic Mexican food from every region of Mexico, without draining your pocketbook...

I live on the opposite side of the continent... I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada!
we have some pretty good authentic spots here north of Toronto if you ever visit

We will actually be in the Brampton / Orangeville area next month... any places near by you'd suggest?
He kinda looks like kiko from el chavo del ocho
Lmao
Exactly. And he exagerates.
Mamaaa!! 😂
Nada que ver
💡
Great video Mark, everything looked delicious except for the Taco Bell!
If they don't add consume... pro tip... add consume. We love and Jeffrey!!
This dude can be excited over an a grilled cheese
He has a good appetite. But, ironically.....he is so slim.
Or a cup or water
And that’s what you call someone who is passionate about food 😁😁😁
that’s a sign of a bulimic.
I love his interest in language as well. I would love to see him learn a ton of languages just to order street food in different countries lol.
Quesadillas con birria!
What a combination!
Saludos Mark, te esperamos siempre en México! :)
