Important note: the room I showed was more expensive because it was Semana Santa, the Holy Week before Easter. At other times it's cheaper. However room prices at beach towns are always more expensive than in other places that are less touristy. You will find much better deals in other parts of Mexico. If you want to book a room at the hotel I showed in this video (The Hotel Refugio de Sol), or anywhere else while you're traveling, I recommend this site: www.booking.com/index.html?aid=1724899
01:37 -- Yay! I was awaiting when you'd film some REAL Mexicana dresses or authentic clothing at all, versus the crap they foist off on unsuspecting Touistos and Touristas / Gringos and Gringas.
Your hostel looks quite clean, actually. Couple of cracks in the walls, but, no vermin from what I could see. You have gotten VERRRRY lucky with having no bed bugs or other vermin, on your trips. Others have not been so lucky, especially in India!
06:39 -- Food glorious food, hot sausage and mustard ... Just kidding but, what you showed DID really remind me of that song from the Brit musical "Oliver", LOL ... I love seeing what others eat. Not too sure WHY, but, I just do. Chipolinas fried, are quite good, when they are seasoned correctly. 11:34 -- Looks to me like mustard of some sort, and not guac, actually. 13:14 -- STRICT Warning to the ladies out there ... DO NOT hang your bags, of any sort, over the backs of your chairs, lest you want them stolen. People can just run riiiight by, unhook 'em and take off like nobody's bizness. And, the smarter nickers will be on motos, as well. Oh, to nick means to steal, so ...
How cool, I live in San Francisco, California and my husband and I are thinking of moving somewhere around that area in a couple of years, San Pancho looks really nice and calm, thanks for the video.
Sometimes I feel afraid to travel some countries alone. But ur videos gives me courage and makes me feel comfortable. Thanks Gab, u r the best n all the best.
Great videos Gabe. Thanks again for showing us beautiful Mexico. I'm sure you are finding the people very warm and friendly. Happy trails amigo. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers/Salud!
Heh. This place is apparently a lot more popular and touristy than what I imagined after browsing Google Maps... Honestly thought is was going to be a little fishing town or something...
My school social teacher used to teach always about Sanfransisco when I was studying 5the class.Now I've got chance to visit the place through your channel.Thanking you for this !
Mexico is Beautiful picturesque towns Sandy beaches great looking Palm and the other kinds of trees thanks for sharing your vlogs Tulum on the Atlantic coast is another lovely destination Aloha . ♒🌴
I wish I could just buy a small place there, hang out on the beach, eat tacos and drink beer. Looks like a nice place to be an expat minus the internet.
Hello... Simpatico... Gabriel... My wife Camelia and I... Like this Video very much... San Francisco in Mexico 🇲🇽.... Mille Grazie... Very good reportage... Compliment... Top... Gabriel 👍👍👍👍
1:24 "here you have the San Francisco bridge" 😂😂😂. My man Gabriel always making good jokes . I love visiting Mexico for my vacations. Delicious food , nice people
Seems that most prices are full on USA/Western Europe level. Seems very expensive if you compare it to the average wages in Mexico. Quality and location seem very nice though, just saying that its way out of reach for most people in the country,
Thanks for your videos, Gabe. I'm thinking to retire to MX and your videos have been very helpful. Really like San Poncho and Guanajuato. Decisions, decisions. Will be going to MX next month and hope to see both places while I'm there.
Hey Gabriel, I enjoyed your travel video...I loved your food segment as Mexicans are at times so creative (artistic) in their entree presentations...Great that you keep an open mind towards trying new dishes like guacamole with grasshoppers...haven't tried that one yet. I spent a month in Puerto Vallarta in 2015 and one of my sidetrips was to Rincon de Guayabitos...what a beautiful place that is...Happy Trails and all the best, Johnny
Happy Easter Gabriel! Thankyou for the wonderful and beautiful video of this town and your meal looked very delicious and what a great deal! You always find the great spots!
It was Semana Santa so prices were higher than usual. But beach towns will generally be more expensive for accommodation than other places. It was the cheapest thing I found online.
Ah, San Pancho, the town where even the crabs do the conga on the beach! It's like that one friend who's both chill and crazy at the same time. This place has a rhythm of its own, with waves serenading sunbathers and the parrots gossiping louder than a group of grandmas at a bingo night. It's a bit like a magical cocktail, where the salty breeze mixes with the sweet smell of churros, and the locals have mastered the art of time-schedules here are more of a suggestion than a rule. The iguanas roam around like they own the place, and the town's energy is as vibrant as a pinata party, with colorful buildings and streets that twist and turn like a thrilling rollercoaster ride. San Pancho, where the sunsets are as stunning as a telenovela cliffhanger, and the town's vibe is more relaxed than a sloth on a hammock. Nice video, Gabriel Traveler!
your camera is awesome now, don't change it..also can you do a video about how you find cheap tickets, hotels and good or bad airlines? super relaxing video
Hi Gabriel! Nice video. I didn't get any vibes from this town or beach.. Maybe the night life will help.. The food looked very good.. Take care and I bid you peace! 🐟🦈🦀🦐🐚🐠😁
I don't pay 8.50 for 3 tacos. Much less 300 pesos for a meal. Forget that. You're getting the gringo price. I also go where the locals eat. I don't see any locals at that place.
Nice video, @GabrielTraveler! I just got back from a week in San Pancho, after a week in Guayabitos. Spent my first night in the hostel on the ground floor of your hotel (Refugio) but moved a few doors down to Casa Pancho Playa, also CAD$49 a night with free breakfast (like Refugio del Sol) but it has a nice pool too. (also booked everything on booking.com). If I go back next year with my buddy Steve again, I'll have T-shirts made up: "Fear and Loathing in San Pancho" !! Crazy times. But now all the locals know us ;)
Cool, sounds like you had a good time. I was back there again just last week. I visited Sayulita with a friend and we went up to San Pancho for the day.
That's very expensive for a small town in Mexico. I ate 6 Chorizo, Pork and beef tacos in Mexico city, plus a Coke and tip for 5 Dollars. It was also close to the Socalo!
Man, I always feel as if I'm really there in your videos. There's an immersive quality to your running narrative, insightful commentary, and fearless wandering. I feel like we travel in similarly questing, informed ways. Cheers.
I just found your “Site” and can’t stop watching now...lol I’ve watched others but yours certainly is a level up to the point for me, I almost felt I was there! I love PV been many times but not to San Francisco! I wanna travel with you 😉
Ha ha so funny, Pancho or poncho? Pancho is the name. Poncho is the throw over wrap you wear. Thought it was so funny you say, "speaking of Panchos..."
Great video! one tip Pancho isn't the same as a poncho :) Pancho is the nickname given to people of the name Francisco Ponchos are a cover for your body

Haha, the REAL San Fran? Isn't it a sacrilege saying this from someone who comes from where you do?

Oops, from the comment hog, here, sowwy -- The beaches near San Fran look to be quite pristine and clean.
This is a very different look at Mexico than many other media in the U.S. portrays. It looks very relaxing and nice. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for showing us the little towns never heard of 👍
Those tacos looked insane. I got so hungry watching that.
Great videos Gabe. Thanks again for showing us beautiful Mexico. I'm sure you are finding the people very warm and friendly. Happy trails amigo. Looking forward to seeing more. Cheers/Salud!
I’m so glad you got out of the super touristy areas and showed us some of the small towns we otherwise wouldn’t know existed.
The next videos are going to be even better, got away from the beach and exploring some other parts of Mexico.
Heh. This place is apparently a lot more popular and touristy than what I imagined after browsing Google Maps... Honestly thought is was going to be a little fishing town or something...
I was here in 2002 and can't believe the changes. It used to be a small fishing village. It's certainly grown since I was there. Best vacation ever
I like how you explore and go off the beaten path, show everything as it is and tips to help those on a poor persons budget.
My school social teacher used to teach always about Sanfransisco when I was studying 5the class.Now I've got chance to visit the place through your channel.Thanking you for this !
Great video as always! I'm a huge fan of your channel and I always enjoy your videos! Greetings from Italy! Saluti dall'Italia :)

Mexico
I wish I could just buy a small place there, hang out on the beach, eat tacos and drink beer. Looks like a nice place to be an expat minus the internet.
My traveling brother! Thank you for bringing us along on your journey!

Yum 😋 the tacos looks delicious 😋
Nice video 👍👍👍 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
👍 Thanks for sharing your travels.
That guacamole and grasshopper's appetizer is a meal in itself!
Great content and information s always Gabriel.

Try Air BnB next time, cheaper and better locations. And avoid those type of restaruants, the food looked good but 150 pesos for 3 tacos is too much
Luis Garcia It was a higher end restaurant.
Hey Gabriel, I enjoyed your travel video...I loved your food segment as Mexicans are at times so creative (artistic) in their entree presentations...Great that you keep an open mind towards trying new dishes like guacamole with grasshoppers...haven't tried that one yet.

Hey Gabriel
Thanks for sharing this video my friend
Awesome video like always I'm ur fan bro
You're welcome to Morocco
Cute town. Did you have a little more spring in your step after eating the grasshoppers ?
Haha. :)
@@GabrielTravelerVideos the best and tasty experience 😄✌️❤️
That is extremely expensive food for Mexico.
But it's worth it I think with toppings grasshopper interesting stuff to try ✌️
They rip off people that visit and aren't locals.
Happy Easter Gabriel!
Thankyou for the wonderful and beautiful video of this town and your meal looked very delicious and what a great deal! You always find the great spots!
Pamela }!!{ love u
That food looked delicious! I miss Mexico.
It was amazingly good. Those tacos were mind-blowing.
Thanks for taking us to so different and beautiful places!! That’s just another brilliant video!
Snejana Hristova hi
Hahaha your expression on you when you ate the triple grasshoppers...priceless
50 dollars per night for the room is too much for that part of Mexico
J. Mendoza agree, 25 dollars would be more than enough for that room, without a view
It was Semana Santa so prices were higher than usual. But beach towns will generally be more expensive for accommodation than other places. It was the cheapest thing I found online.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos Hi Gabriel...were pulling your leg. Good natured ribbing. We love your videos! Keep up the good work!
@@ee-pt6ul I dont understand what you mean. I just commented on the room-price, whats that gotta do with hate?
For Semana Santa it's a bargain
i been here for months! glad u stopped by!
The Foreigner Spot.
I like your straight forward approach to these travel docs

Glad it's looking good. Here's an old video about finding cheap flights: th-cam.com/video/_CzZD59Y56o/w-d-xo.html
Hey Gabriel
Great to see you at my home state Nayarit thank you.
Wow Gabriel!! The food looked amazing! Nice to have all that sun ☀️ getting a little color Gabriel 😃, take care and stay safe 😊❤
Mara Farnham hi sexy
Hops in the beer and now grass-hopping guacamole ....👌🏼👌🏼
I have an uncle that lives there. The movie PREDATOR with Arnold Schwarzenegger was filmed around there.
Hi Gabriel! Nice video. I didn't get any vibes from this town or beach.. Maybe the night life will help.. The food looked very good.. Take care and I bid you peace! 🐟🦈🦀🦐🐚🐠😁
Emma Jones hello girl

Love you Gabe. Ur content is gold.
Its 3:21am in San Francisco California. Cheers
@Coloredspaces

Hahaha
Semana Santa beach town prices.
Gringo price...locals pay 50 pesos. Liberal gringos always get screwed...😁
Nice job Gabriel. It really gave me a feel for it. Thank you, John
I don't pay 8.50 for 3 tacos. Much less 300 pesos for a meal. Forget that. You're getting the gringo price. I also go where the locals eat. I don't see any locals at that place.
this is the busiest week of the year!
Yeah, I got out just in time. Left yesterday and went inland.
Just enjoy and don't complain, saludos 👍🇲🇽🇺🇸
Yeah exactly we're just watching he's the one who's working on it great content 👏😍
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 Just now waking up and drooling to this in my bed! I think some huevos rancheros is in store today!!
Ahhh we finally see the Instagram Grasshoppers!!!... At least you had a beer to wash them down with.. Safe Travels.. :)
no conozco ahí pero se ve demasiado relajado iré a conócelo pronto.
así me gustan los lugares pequeños y agradables.

Crazy times. But now all the locals know us ;)
Cool, sounds like you had a good time. I was back there again just last week. I visited Sayulita with a friend and we went up to San Pancho for the day.
We have smashed avocado with grasshopper: Aka: we have a bug problem in the kitchen lol.
😂😂😂✌️
I’m always content with your content.....✌🏼
Everything in San Pancho is expensive.
Thanks for sharing another great video. Super Like!
My parents have a home in San Pancho. One of our favorite places to be in
That's very expensive for a small town in Mexico.
I ate 6 Chorizo, Pork and beef tacos in Mexico city, plus a Coke and tip for 5 Dollars. It was also close to the Socalo!
killer looking meal well worth the 300
One more hidden paradise in the world! One at a time. .thanks for sharing!
Metallic sky 🌌. Do you see planes sprying soot ?
Very interesting food. Looks colorful and tasty.
Awesome video! Nice & Sunny. I automatically thought you were talking about San Fransico in Cali, not Mexico until I payed close enough lol
Yeah I was going to make a video pretending it was San Francisco in Cali. and acting confused, but then I didn't.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 😂 that would still make a good video!
Man, I always feel as if I'm really there in your videos. There's an immersive quality to your running narrative, insightful commentary, and fearless wandering. I feel like we travel in similarly questing, informed ways. Cheers.
I'm jealous...watching..😠
But happy for you gabe
😄✌️
cognitive dissonance: watching a Gabriel video without cows and motorcycles
I just found your “Site” and can’t stop watching now...lol I’ve watched others but yours certainly is a level up to the point for me, I almost felt I was there! I love PV been many times but not to San Francisco!
I wanna travel with you 😉
Sweet, glad to hear it.
The sky 🌌 look chemtrailed if you know what I mean Great music
It looks really nice there! 👍🏼✌🏼
You provide something unique
En semana santa los precios están al doble !!! Abusan del turismo...
Porque. Piensan. Q llevan, 💵💸💳
I was blessed enough to visit here, It's beautiful!!
Loving the videos! 😁
Gabriel what's the name of the music on the intro?
It's listed below the video if you click "Show more" and then scroll down a little ways.
I think the room is a little high I think in garberville you can find a better room for 50 bucks 😎
Very CoOl !! Never been to Mexico
You should visit caleta de campos in Michoacan. It is a small fishing village, that just locals know, and it is very affordable
Looks BEAUTIFUL 💚
Hy butifill gril
Ha ha so funny, Pancho or poncho? Pancho is the name. Poncho is the throw over wrap you wear. Thought it was so funny you say, "speaking of Panchos..."
Nice beach
Would love to visit Mexico some day, from Trinidad.
Wow amazing
Puro Jalisco. Arriba los tapatios! Great of you to visit Jalisco Gabriel.
Perfect bro!
Nice laid back little town. Looks like a great place to hang out!🐱
He said you don't really taste the grasshopper all that much in the guacamole... So you know what a grasshopper is supposed to taste like?
I fell in love with this place. So home "san pancho" sick right now....
Gabriel ,tell me please ,
are there in San Francisco mexican people only ?
Good video, beatiful place, and delucius food.
Another good video..its quite amazing your life style....
Great video! one tip Pancho isn't the same as a poncho :)
Pancho is the nickname given to people of the name Francisco
Ponchos are a cover for your body
Excellent point.
You sure can eat a lot at one meal.....but looked quite good
Hello, were the crowds better near your hostel compared to closer to the beach?
