Greetings from Australia, new subscriber here. It's almost impossible to find authentic Mexican food here so the only option is to make my own, and your videos have been really helpful and interesting. I've literally just arrived home after driving across town to the only dedicated Mexican grocery store in my city, after being inspired by your recipes. I could almost taste the flavours coming out of that Barbacoa, thank you!
Ditto from Breckenridge, Colorado. But luckily we have a Mexican grocery called Dos Chiles in Dillon that had the ingredients. Making tacos for a friend who knee surgery. The struggle is real. :)
Madame, you are an excellent teacher. Your cadence is perfectly timed to the speed of proper instruction, you illustrate every move well in the video, and what's even more important is that you don't skip the tedious things other TH-cam channels just pass by without mention. For example, taking the time to show how an entire banana leaf is heated before use, and specifically telling people that it will take time and be as awkward as shown when trying to heat a giant leaf in a much smaller comal. It manages expectations well. And I like the way you show your respects to Mexico. I have bookmarked this video and I will be making this for my family EXACTLY as you have shown here. Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with me. On a philosophical level, consider the fact that your work will literally become parts of all the people served barbacoa made from this video. Your efforts will create the cells which grow babies into toddlers, teens into adults, and supply new cells to replace those which continuously slough away from our bodies, both inside and out, and sustain our very lives. This, to me, has always been the most benevolent thing about cooking for loved ones. A person who serves this process is what we call a "Mensch." I sincerely hope your channel brings you healthy profits.
We just made this. We couldn’t find avocado leaves. My husband said “it was hands down the best barbacoa he’s had in his life” agreed it was really tasty! 🤤
I Just Started Watching Your Channel & I Really Don't Know How To Cook But Watching Your Videos I've Been Practicing Con La Comida Mexicana Poquito a Poquito I'm Getting Better, Great Channel Gracias Rosanna
I just made this for a family party. We live in Oregon now, but grew up in a heavily Hispanic community in California and really miss the food from our youth. My whole family was so happy. It was so rich and delicious. Thank you so much!
im so happy i found ur channel! i lived right next to the mexican border for my entire life so i got used to having really good mexican food all around me but i just moved to europe and they don’t have anything like that here. im starting to learn how to make it at home from your videos and im so happy i can replicate these recipes at home to enjoy:-) thanks for sharing ur knowledge!
Wow…. All of your videos are over the top, your culture reflects in your beautiful dishes. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to trying them out. Best wishes to you and your family.👍
There you go again making me hungry right after I ate. Thank you so much for making this. I can’t have pork and it’s so hard to fine great traditional barbacoa with other meats.
Subscribed to your channel. Like the person from Australia below, I can't find the authentic Mexican food I've been so lucky to have in my numerous visits to Mexico. Not many go as far to wrap in banana and add the avocado leaves, kudos. Thanks to your video's and ingredients via Amazon, this Gringo puts out some convincing barbacoa ;) Your chorizo recipe is another of my favorites.
So thankful I've had mexican friends that considered me family and a brother in law that all could and loved to cook really well and feed me everytime i was around authentic Mexican food is amazing and yes I was smart enough to stay away from that mezcal no shots for me lol
It looks delicious. I will try this version of BIRRIA. Birria is meat cooked in chiles and water/broth. BARBACOA is meat marinaded in chile sauce and steamed in leaves.
Hi I'm new to your channel. Your food looks so delicious I love Mexican food! I will be trying some of your dishes soon. Oh and I like the way you explain how to prepare the meals very easy to follow
Wonderful! Other versions of this dish looked very comlpicated but your take seems very doable- even for a country boy- if i can only get my tortillas working- thank you!
This looks very similar to birria! I wonder what differentiates the two. The differences I do notice between the two (at least the way i've made birria) are the banana and avocado leaves. Everything else is very similar.
Birria is also considered barbacoa but is usually cooked in liquid like stew rather than being wrapped in leaves and steamed over the liquid. This recipe is kind of a hybrid.
Bought the ingredients, tomorrow we make this recipe along with the brownies with cheesecake (were too busy to make the dessert last night). My spouse and kids are making enchiladas right now.
This looks delicious! Just found your channel today and I'll have to add this one to my "want to try" list. Just have to get all the ingredients first. 👏🏼 Question though, have you tried this recipe via a slow cooker? I'm curious if it would work out the same there? Especially if I'm unable to find the banana leaves, not sure if that would even matter?
Greetings from East Texas! Had to hunt your channel down! For some reason… Alerts were not showing up on my feed! I hope you and your family had a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
In my local Mexican market here in California, all they have is Pasilla-Ancho chiles. Can I substitute those for both the Pasilla and the Ancho chiles in your recipe?
I love this, I could make this but I would be the only one eating it.......and after 6 tacos......the rest would go to waste because my son and wife have no clue what is good. LOL !
Sorry to bother again, if i do this stove top ( if i can do it stove top )what would i keep the flame at n for how long ? I want to make this so much 😃. Thank u !!!! U n urs have a happy weekend n halloween !!!!
@Richard Garrison: Yes you can cook it on the stove top. Two things I would suggest: 1. Add a bit more water, to cover the meat completely. 2. Cook on a low simmer, medium-low to low heat (depends on your stove). You will know its ready when the meat is fork tender. I would say check @ 3 hrs and if needed, let it cook longer. Hope this helps.
Can someone PLEASE enlighten me. I’ve tried to buy a chuck roast 10 times in Mexico and have gotten 10 different random cuts. What should I be asking for??????
Hi there! I can relate. It tends to happen since a lot of people call different parts different names depending on the region or how knowledgeable the person is. Print a picture out and show it to them if you can, it may help.

Amazing barbacoa, possibly the best judging from the ingredients and process.
Barbacoa is just awesome!
There you go again making me hungry right after I ate. Thank you so much for making this. I can’t have pork and it’s so hard to fine great traditional barbacoa with other meats.

Your chorizo recipe is another of my favorites.
You can’t see it but right now I’m doing a happy dance in anticipation of this recipe. 😂
Hi, Rosanna, and Merry Christmas.
I’m trying a slow cooker version for the first time, but this looks AMAZING and I can’t wait to try this one next.
It’s delicious for sure! 😊 let me know if you tried it
So thankful I've had mexican friends that considered me family and a brother in law that all could and loved to cook really well and feed me everytime i was around authentic Mexican food is amazing and yes I was smart enough to stay away from that mezcal no shots for me lol

Yum 😋 this looks so amazingly good
Great job, left me speachless!
Just wait until you try it! you are going to be more speechless 😋
LOOKS SO DELICIOUS YUMMY
It looks delicious. I will try this version of BIRRIA.
Birria is meat cooked in chiles and water/broth.
BARBACOA is meat marinaded in chile sauce and steamed in leaves.
Seems so similar wonder if the flavor is any different
Hi I'm new to your channel. Your food looks so delicious I love Mexican food! I will be trying some of your dishes soon. Oh and I like the way you explain how to prepare the meals very easy to follow
Thank you so much! Welcome to Villa Cocina 😊
Soul food 100%
Speechless
I understand 😊
What a Lovely Woman that cooks like this you should be treated like a Queen!!!
WOW!!! Looks sooooooo delicious 👌🏽
Thank you
Wonderful! Other versions of this dish looked very comlpicated but your take seems very doable- even for a country boy- if i can only get my tortillas working- thank you!
You can do it!
I'm going to make this!!!!!
Awesome as usual! This looks very good!
Glad you liked it.
Thanks!
Fantastic 😋
Simplemente fantástica me recuerda la comida del sur de mi Mexico querido se ve deliciosa casi la puedo oler gracias por el video 😋

Birria is also considered barbacoa but is usually cooked in liquid like stew rather than being wrapped in leaves and steamed over the liquid. This recipe is kind of a hybrid.
I'll definitely be making this sometime in November
Great, perfect for this time of year.
Bought the ingredients, tomorrow we make this recipe along with the brownies with cheesecake (were too busy to make the dessert last night). My spouse and kids are making enchiladas right now.

Exquisita receta super buena 🥰
Looks delicious! What did you do with left over sauce, that u had left from dipping meat with?
Cooking now, very excited. Any uses for the extra sauce after you coat the meat? Should I pour some extra in besides adding 6 cups of water?
I m gonna try it today. Great👏👏
Have fun, you are going to love it
🤤🤤How is this different from birria?
Good question, they are very similar dishes. It all comes down to cooking method and the way they are served.
Greetings from East Texas! Had to hunt your channel down! For some reason… Alerts were not showing up on my feed! I hope you and your family had a Blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year!
Thanks so much for keeping me in mind.
THANKS ROXANA
In my local Mexican market here in California, all they have is Pasilla-Ancho chiles. Can I substitute those for both the Pasilla and the Ancho chiles in your recipe?
Will be making
Awesome! let me know how it turns out.
Thanks for telling us where to find banana leaves!
Where does the barbacoa end and the consumê begin? Aren’t they both in the same? I’m confused. Looks delish
Wast thinking of doing banana leaves beef cheek and salt. What are your thoughts
Did you pour the left over chili sauce onto the beef along with the water?
Do the banana and avocado leaves really add any significant flavor?
I want to make this !!!!!!! Can i do all u did on a stove top ?
Hola Roxana de que parte de Michoacan eres? Saludos desde Morelia
Hi, sorry.. one more question, can i use the banana leaves on stove top cooking 😀.. im going shopping tomorrow for everyrhing.. thank you 😃
I love this, I could make this but I would be the only one eating it.......and after 6 tacos......the rest would go to waste because my son and wife have no clue what is good. LOL !
Sorry to hear, how about freezing the rest?
I'm confused about when you added the 6 cups of water, and when you added the cinnamon stick?
Can you make the tacos with queso cheese like birria?
Do you have to have avocado leaves?
No, you don't have to.
😋
What size dutch oven is that?
Is there anyplace to do to get a printable recipe with ingredients?
Can I make a birra with regular chili powder? Please let me know
Could I double the recipe to make 10lbs of meat? Or would that change the taste?
Hello how can I cook on the electric pressure cooker, beef cheek meat in bbq, thanks for your help.
🥳🥳🥳
Mmmmm delicioso Rossana
Gracias
Can I have a bite out of that too?😁
would this work on stovetop
Sorry to bother again, if i do this stove top ( if i can do it stove top )what would i keep the flame at n for how long ? I want to make this so much 😃. Thank u !!!! U n urs have a happy weekend n halloween !!!!
Paul thanks so much for helping out with this question. 😊
@Richard Garrison: Yes you can cook it on the stove top. Two things I would suggest:
1. Add a bit more water, to cover the meat completely.
2. Cook on a low simmer, medium-low to low heat (depends on your stove). You will know its ready when the meat is fork tender. I would say check @ 3 hrs and if needed, let it cook longer.
Hope this helps.
Can I make it without banana leaves. The ones from Goya I don’t really like.
What is the difference between beef birria and beef barbacoa?
fun
Do you have a cookbook
That is a lot of work.
😋😁👍🙋♂️
Can someone PLEASE enlighten me. I’ve tried to buy a chuck roast 10 times in Mexico and have gotten 10 different random cuts. What should I be asking for??????
Hi there! I can relate. It tends to happen since a lot of people call different parts different names depending on the region or how knowledgeable the person is. Print a picture out and show it to them if you can, it may help.
Do you have e a video using cow tong?
Delicioso Roxana pero donde mandaste a tu príncipe me encanta tu modo de ser by happy
