Those are my peoples we seen each other grow up they started out from a basket to getting a truck to that restaurant hard work pays off congratulations
@Rockstar Eater, greatly appreciate the historical and cultural aspects of this video. I've told more more than a few people about the State of Guerrero. Humans have more in common than we sometimes realize.
definitely going to visit this place, that pozole looks delicious with all those toppings and the crunchy fish taco 😋 thx to guys for hitting these hidden so cal gems and regional foods.
Rockstar, you picked the perfect person to collaborate on your Mexican food tour. MexiPapa knows good Mexican food and his description of the flavors makes your mouth water! 😋 love how he suggests ways to eat the food. Keep collaborating with him and you will learn a lot from him. Much respect to you and MexiPapa!👍
I'm extremely left leaning in so many ways but I have to agree with you. The way they're trying to push black people into everything is so weird. If anything they should be highlighting the native american influence in the food not just in mexican food but a lot of american food including barbecue which incorrectly gets attributed to black people
Those were my thoughts. That I’m aware of “afro Mexicans” and guerrero have the same cuisine as everyone else in Mexico. They are just Mexicans to me. I don’t see the point in making such distinctions just because their skin is darker. Everyone in Mexico is different shades.
@@bossmedia4028 true. I lived in guerrero for a while many dont know most afro mexicans lived with us indigenous mexicans and many speak indigenous languages. The food is similar not much different from rest of Mexico as cultures have fused over time the spanish indigenous mexican. Never ate any african infused food or anything like that because most afro mexicans just adapted the native mexican culture and live with us in the indigenous villages. So its not like they know there past ancestry of where they come from in africa and have food recipes or cultures outside of mexico .
exactly they are exploiting the "afro mexican" identity to get sympathy and recognition, in veracruz we have real afro-mexican cuisine that black africans developed on their own. What this restaurant is serving is just indigenous/mestizo food from Mexico
Steve, I love you and you guest- nothing is more admoral than seeing two manly man eating. I love that you are manly and you love to eat and you show you manly side. It is adorable.
It would be really interesting to see you take Mexico Papa to some asian restaurants. Would love to see his reactions to asian food would make for interesting videos.
Food looks delicious indeed! I'd certainly like to try this place out one day soon. I do agree with other comments about the food highlighted being Mexican and I was kinda expecting some African cuisine as well as Mexican. I do understand that the owners are Afro-Latino or I believe that to be the case. One thing I can't get over is the gal with the long nails prepping the taco and not wearing gloves and I say this because long nails require a nail brush when washing hands. I work in Healthcare and know what germs can linger under those acrylics and hopefully the staff does use a nail brush and wash frequently. Thanks for the video and review!
Grandma Francis's carpenter was half vera Cruz Mexican that had Olmec ancestry. My granddad William Lawson lambea was half vera Cruz Mexican. Don Omar is half vera Cruz mexican by last name
Yeah this place is new, i work in the Bell Gardens area and that place used to be El Yaqui Mexican Food. That food was meh. This food looks real good. My family is from Guerrero so I'm definitely going to stop by
Afro-Mexican Peeps to me are straight up no different in my eyes than my family, just a bunch of raza living it up being Mexican like anyone else, beside the fact that their roots differ, that doesnt matter to me, they are always Mexican Flavor, Salud Mi Jente, they bring some good food to eat as always and it is always on point and rightfully so.
The family are the descendants of Africans brought to Acapulco, Guerrero as slaves. There are significant Afro-Mexican communities in the states of Veracruz and Guerrero
@@RockstarEater thanks for sharing i really appreciate thinking of starting a food vlog as well if interested would love to work with you sometime. best regards,
That’s right ppl there are Afro-Mexicans and even Mexican Asians, Mexican Germans etc..Mexico is not a Race so we come in all shapes, COLORS and sizes.
Hey Rockstar, Since you are such a lover of Mexican food, then I hope you don't mind a little help on the pronunciation, one is a "Tamal" 👍and plural they are "Tamales"👍👍. not Tamally 🤣nor Tamallies😂😂. BTW, the "T" in Spanish is pronounced more as if it were "TH". At least you say "Tortillas"👍and not "Tor-til-las"🤣👎
I really like you for what you do but when you do Mexican food. I just don’t think you can pull it off. It looks like you truly aren’t enjoying it and I can’t see what you can compare it too . But love that you try ❤️
I was wondering as soon as I saw the title if it was going to be Mexican food from one of the many Afro-Mexican communities in Mexico and I guessed right! I would love to try traditional Afro-Mexican food from Veracruz or Oaxaca if it was being prepared stateside too.
nothing in the video is afro mexican cuisine at all but indigenous foods, Veracruz has real afro-mexican cuisine that blacks developed on their own, its really sad to see this family exploit afromexicans and even indigenous food to gain popularity
@@carlosm.3426 Relax dude, there's absolutely no need to project what you're projecting onto the owners of the restaurant. Elena herself is from Costa Chica in Guerrero, she's not "exploiting" anything by preparing food from that community. Most people have no idea about the existence of prominent Afro-Mexican communities like Costa Chica, representing them and raising awareness about them deserves to be seen as a good thing. Acting like they do that for "popularity" is ridiculous. Do better research about the owners before you say these things.
@@Dioleate this idea that Oaxaca, Guerrero and Veracruz have populations that look like Jamaicans who speak Spanish is delusional. Maybe read a book Sean
Hi Please stop waiting for your guest to react. Its your Ch, take the control and provide your take. You are the real guest. Your following is looking for you to lead so we can connect.
@@pinkyjohns5198 no its not. and way u guys saying, afro mexican food? its stupid and typical americans. no one in mexico calls it afro mexican food, if u know anything about mexican food, each state has their own cusines and dishes
@@kem1233 it may be stupid to you but in the US it’s descriptive of the food. The point is the slavery in Mexico created a cuisine unique to that experience, just like it did here. The owner of the restaurant made the decision to call his food Afro-Mexican as is his right. If you don’t like it, don’t patronize it!
An Afro-Mexican is a Mexican with African heritage. The woman is cooking food from her region of Mexico, so of course it’s going to be Mexican food. I think your comment is disrespectful and a bit rude.
So every Mexican restaurant you eat should also come with the quantifier Indo-Mexican or Euro-Mexican if you are going to refer to a standard Mexican restaurant as “Afro”

Ever had a Guerrero pozole?
Hell yeah
Diffetent style of regular pozole It comes white not red like most of the pozole recipes
Black folks in the ancient America's r not African WE R NOT AFRICANS
You don't think it's a little bit gross to eat out of the same bowl with a stranger? No bueno.

It's not clickbait. Guerrero is a region known for having a afro american population
