Understanding the Soulful Mexican Cooking of Oaxaca | Food Skills
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 เม.ย. 2018
- Too often Mexican cuisine is reduced solely to tacos and burritos. The country is full of rich culinary traditions, and nowhere is that more apparent than Oaxaca. At Guelaguetza-the legendary Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles' Koreatown-Oaxacan tlayudas and mole take centerstage. Topped with meat, cheese, and salty, chicharrón-like asiento, tlayudas have a role in Oaxacan cuisine that far exceeds their reputation as "Mexican pizza." Mole-the rich, spice-and-pepper-packed sauce of the region-is used to to drench the tlayudas, as well as chicken, enchiladas, and any other foodstuff within arm's reach. Helmed by second-generation owner Bricia Lopez, Guelaguetza is a bucket-list destination for anyone looking to experience the culture of Oaxaca and L.A. at the same time.

Beautiful, love how this channel regularly highlights Mexican good. Viva Mexico!
I love how they just cover food from all over the place, viva food!!!
IM FROM OAXACA, LOVED THE VIDEO!!! ya me dio hambre
imaginate estar en la manana y ver el video con el estomago vacio....
Andres Gonzalez jajajaj nmms que tortura
se me hizo agua la boca con tanto mole, con lo que me encanta el mole rojo que hace mi mama, mole con huevo, mole con queso, enmoladas, empanadas en vez de salsa pues con mole
Oaxacan food is such a tapestry of flavors. I went to a restaurant in Austin, TX and I wind up getting two tlayudas. And the coloradito mole is great on everything savory. The plantains make the sauce! *And I'm hungry!*
Do you remember the place?
Mi Sabor Oaxaqueño I think. It's been two years since I visited Austin.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
How do you compare it to San Diego Mexican food... If you've ever tried. San Diego mex you get great flavor and dirt cheapo unless you seek to waste your cash on over priced places.
And expensive places theirs taste like el crapo.
God, I've never been as hungry and nostalgic as I was watching this
I just checked their prices and a single tlayuda costs $14 bucks!😁
in Oaxaca you can get 10 tlayudas for that and some horchatas too😀
L.A. Prices.
ralph malph thats rigth jajajajajajajajajajajaj😅😅
he is already accounting for conversion
Muhun Kang exactly, converting money means absolutely nothing in this context, but people just don't seem to understand that, it seems.
capitalism
One of the countries with the most varied, well balanced, tasty, and healthy traditional food on the whole world.
You genuinely believe what you just typed? Mexican food is way greasy, not that it's not delicious (it is some of the best food in the world) but healthy no way.
Iron Mountain *Fat is not unhealthy in the way you think it is* sugar is.. reeeee
Have you heard about napkins btw 🤔
You're probably the kind of person that pats their pizza down with a napkin...SMH, I enjoy the fat but not all fats are equal in nutritional value. But yes you're right there are several studies that point out the benefits of cholesterol in fats for hormone production.
Iron Mountain no I'm not...
You're the one that mentioned greasy foods so I made that joke, anyways.
Most Mexican food is cooked with normal cooking vegetable oil nowadays, which may be more unhealthy than the "Manteca de puerco" that people used back in the day.
And the fact that most Mexican foods use a lot of vegetables and beans makes it incredibly healthy, the meat is a luxury so not everyone eats them often.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be rude, and I mean we could debate about nutrition until we're both blue in the face but I lived in San Diego & frequented TJ for a ton of years and the food trucks & even local foods (friends moms who cooked traditional) just don't prepare thier food totally healthy. They make the food taste delicious with all that salt and frijoles and Asada and grease, but again not healthy. But you're right back in the old days when we we're relient on grocerey stores to get our cooking oils the food was probably a lot healthy and non processed.
OAXACA!!!! YAYYYY!!!! ITS MY HOME AND I MISS IT, most of my family is over there and i miss them
I was just studying in Oaxaca, Mexico this past fall and shot a video for a restaurant down there. I'd love to be able to get in contact with who produced this video! Thanks for sharing, FirstWeFeast!
This place is amazing, I try going here at least once a month. The food is great, the live music is even better, and the service is top notch.
Best and friendliest place ever. Chef Edgar best chef I've ever met he loves what he do best.
Really love the video! I love learning about niche-y food cultures
i cant wait to try it. I wish there is indoor dining, because the atmosphere inside alone looks super cool
I like food.
Looks good, I'm down to give it a try 👍
Loved it Mexican soul food.
Everything looks delicious.
Oaxaca is so awesome. Everyone should visit.
I’ve been to their restaurant! Some of the best food there honestly
If you wanna see more of Bricia, she has a series on Eater with her brother that's based on the food of SoCal and Baja!
This looks authentic!
Probably the best Mexican food you can get just so full of flavor. Bobby Flay based a lot of his style on it.
Guelaguetza is so good! If anyone has the opportunity to go, do it!! Even the drinks are bomb!
Looks delicious
cesina is almost always beef in mexico...i've only met one person that thinks cesina is pork...cesina is salt cured beef
stephanie reeves in Oaxaca they call the pork cesina and steak tasajo but in most of Mexico like Puebla it's the other way around, kinda confusing if you ever visit
In some parts of Oaxaca Cecina is spicy pork and the salt cured beef is called Tasajo
Holy shit, I need that in my life.
GOD DAMN, EVERYTHING LOOKED DELICIOUS!
I've eaten there. The mole is legend.
Thank you
Puro Oaxaca
Being from Oaxaca I can agree with her so true
God dam!...everythings hot about this video .
I want this in mah belly! But I'm all the way up in Nova Scotia, Canada.. :(
holy crap I go there all the time!
I remember my mom taking me to this restaurant as a kid. im going take my kids to here
Tlayudas is my favorite food from reforma de pineda, oaxaca.
Nice atrium. I want to visit, and eat.
Sean Evans I bless you wth Oaxaca’s food love.
Hola from Mexico 🇲🇽
Everytime we go to L.A we go to This place its funny because my We Are Oaxacan And My Mom makes jokes of how she can basically make everything there lol. Btw The Sweet Mole With Cheese spreaded on top and the nachos was the best appetizer Ever !!!!!
Just tried it last week, and you're right about the chips with mole. It really is the tastiest complementary starter! Can't wait to try to recreate it from her book.
I miss Oaxacan cooking. Up here all I have is TexMex that isn’t cooked well
#SoulFoodLove
Beautiful!
Ughhhhh Mole is so so gooooood!!!!
oh yeah baby
God, you made me so hungry now... And in Japan, finding good Mexican food isn't easy...😭
Where is my Philly D episode??? I'm so excited!!
Everyone should try a tlayuda at least once. Oooo also try Oaxacan ice cream!! Don't forget about the horchata with the nieve de tuna. Guelaguetza is okay, you're only ever going to find the best Oaxacan food in Oaxaca. In LA I prefer Monte Alban though, I liked them better than Guelaguetza.
Excited for PhillyD tommorow!
Anyone in the US know a good source for huauzontle seeds? Not the ornamental red kind, the green kind with bulky seed heads for tortas de huauzontle. Thanks for any help.
You guys should go to Hija De Sanchez in Copenhagen. They make really good tacos.
You should get Dave Chappelle on hot ones
Man I love being a Oaxacano from Ejutla De Crespo
Yes.
I really want to try this stuff, but i dont have anywhere like this, at least that i know of, just like normal mexican food, the sort in america at least
Loved the Philly D interview
I had to say this because, you almost making me hungry my friend.....
Intro song?
oooh food
I love mole
Is that cheese he's hand shredding at 3:40?!?! Omg!!
Aaron Jessome Yes, it's call Oaxaca Cheese or Quesillo
Uzi El viejón I think is know as sting cheese in the US
Aaron Jessome really? i didn't know that, i'm not in US
Uzi El viejón thank you
Aaron Jessome String cheese, my corrector messed up the first reply. String, not sting
Mmm the mole it looks so good😭
Oh wow lol i live a block away from that place i can actually see it from the apartment i live in
Now I want Cochinita pibil with rice and beans thanks a lot 😭
As a Mexican I wouldn’t recommend at all to eat Cochinita with rice
My girlfriends family is from there i love when her mom makes food i cant say no
Welp, now I need to make some molé.
Can immediately tell this place is in LA instead of NYC as there's actually space to walk around inside the restaurant.
I once had a taco. It was good.
You forgot the chapulines!!!
Staple for any kid🤤🤤🤤
I’m not surprised
Food 🥘
My wife is from Oaxaca. She feeds me well
Now I want to know what mole sauce they don’t do, and why? I mean, they “specialize” in 6 of the 7 sauces. What’s up with the 7th?
Peyote ?
Actually, they specialize in 5 of the 7, with a sixth (estofado) that's not in that list of 7; there are many more beyond the 7. The two they don't do are chilchilo and manchamanteles. Couldn't say why they don't do these though.
Oxacan food is the best. My mother is Oaxacan, more specifically La Costa Chica. However, oaxacan cesina is so bad compared to cesina from Morelos where my dad is from.
*Playing Obe1plays theme song intro LOL "bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro, bro"*
That place is to bomb
I’m hungry
Only had Molé once and it was terrible, however could of been crappy molé. However It looks very tastey for sure.
i feel like first we feast is following the trends of the traveling Mark Weins and The Food Ranger, they've done Oaxacan food already last month
Mob with Guns You forgot Mike Chen. His channel is exploding
This place is alright coming from a LA native
Carlos Rodriguez yeah was about to say that, it's really well known but you could definitely find a better place.
They didn’t have any Oaxacan string cheese. They don’t use queso fresco in Oaxaca
Her yuppy English is totally different from her Spanish, it reminds me of Fluffy's Batman routine.
I got the plug in Oaxaca
bruhhhhh I've been there
Oh, yes. I am so down for some Oaxaca cuisine right now... on the wrong side of the continent, dammit
Damn... This is evil 😂 this makes u so hungry!
You should've gotten Rick Bayless to feature in this video
It's actually turkey and rice but turk
eys are hard to get in Mexico becuase they attack.
Fucc yes OAXACAN FOOD 🔥🔥
I wanna know how she made the cuts of meat from scratch lol
Ya me imagino al tipo de gente que le dio manita abajo!!!
Noice
Nooice
#HopsinOnHotOnes
Ariel Castillo fuck that n-word
"Hay tamales Oaxaqueños!"
Omg, I just went grocery shopping and I didn’t get any of this. So disappointed
Holy shit my mouth
Show us where the bomb Indian food in the U.S. is please?
I hear that it's garbage here compared to the foods homeland, but surely there is a diamond in the rough
No monetization...
TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!!! [Shakes fist]
Amazing! The only attractive Oaxacan woman in the world.
Can this Spanish Mommy be a side dish por favor? #SMOKIN
