When we go to Mexico we usually just get snacks and drinks from Oxxo. Ready made food is not the move. Glad you showed everyone they’re a better off going to a street food vendor.
Convenience stores food is not a big thing in MX, we rather have literally anything else outside on the streets. All of it is REALLY bad, but the 7evelen pizza is a hidden gem. The 7eleven donuts are also nice, specially a glazed thing called Popper, is filled with sweet cream cheese.
Yea i live in matamoros and some things are at 7eleven and oxxo are good not great but better then most mainly get stuff when im there an Just in a hurry lmao
Japan's convenience stores 10/10 mexico convenience stores 5/10 Bcs in mexico we can eat in every corner of the city cheaper than most of the convience stores. Thats a rule we mexicans know
That's because there's a lot of street food that kills convenience food. Convenience food stores here don't invest much in full meals/snacks because of that.
The gordita reminded me of the Matamoros style bistek tacos...the only thing missing was fresh avocado slices. Just cilantro and onion is alright, but with fresh cheese and avocado is where it is at.
711 is just not the culture in mexico, at all lol. you go to a street vendor or street cart for quick, yummy food. not 711. its good for chips, candy or a panecito for your coffee. thats about it. as a mexican, i like it this way. some of you romanticize egg sandwiches too much. 😂
I don't understand how he could try something different from when he normally does and it's considered as totally incorrect especially for people traveling. Wait... For people living there. And I'm sure most people that watch are people that travel and want to try different things not just what everybody else says. My goodness!
He ALWAYS tries the food at a 7-11 in EVERY country he visits, just to see how they compare with the US and with other countries. He knows darned well that he's not getting good food like he would get from a street vendor, and that's the same for every country he visits. He knows, guys! But this is something he does on his channel whenever he's out of the US. I don't know why that's so hard for ppl to understand.
711 Japan is literally not coming... What they're doing is adopting Japanese *style* 711 business practices. What we're gonna get is slightly better American food as they source recipes from regional chefs and restaurants.
I was in Japan for 2 months in 2001 at that Cerulean Hotel and there was a 7-11 just outside. The first time I walked in 2 days later after arriving, and after working 14 hours they greeted me with the greeting and almost knocked me over and stunned me, and I was so happy with the greeting. I grabbed 2 Egg Salad sandwiches, went to my room and started working. I finally tried one around 15 minutes after and stopped working. DAMN that was the best egg salad ever along with the bread! I can't say much more than that. It stunned me how good egg salad can be.
Those peanuts are Japanese. A Japanese migrant started selling them in Mexico as Japanese peanuts… funny fact, if you go to Japan they sell them… but, they’re called Mexican peanuts.
@@Que2941 Chile en nogada is a poblano pepper filled with sweet and savory minced meat (kind like turkey filling, is beef and/or pork with some fruits and nuts), covered with nogada sauce (cream, milk, walnut, sherry wine, sugar) and some pomegranate seeds. It is sweet, savory and just a little bit spicy and as long as you like sweet and savory food you'll love it!
@@emmanuelisunza una pregunta disculpa mi ignorancia 😅 el mole que sabor tiene ? Se parece en algo el sabor del chile en nogada? O algún otro plato que me. Digas.. porfa
@@kristelfiore1330 el mole tiene un sabor único, no se parece a otro platillo y no se parece al chile en nogada. Podría decirse que el mole es el equivalente mexicano del curry (aunque saben muy diferentes). El mole es una salsa algo espesa hecha de chiles, especias y semillas. Hay más de 20 tipos de moles, pero los más populares son el mole negro, el mole verde y el mole rojo. Es uno de los platillos más típicos de México y vale la pena probarlo, es muy rico!
if im not mistaken here in mexico a lot of office workers would mix coca cola and cofee to stay awake and i think thats why they made this flavor we still do the original one eiher way lol
OXXO it’s owned by a beer brand “Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma”, they sell mostly US brands as well. But they include what would be the Mexican competence to those brands.
Not necessarily true. Countries like Japan, Thailand, France and Mexico have highly proficient cooks and can make anything well. In fact 90% of the best restaurants in NYC have mostly Mexican cooks because they are highly skilled. Fondue is not exactly rocket science. Mexican food is way more complex than fondue.
Fonda Cristy looks great to me, and if ever I go to DF, I'd eat as many street tacos as I could get my hands on, too. Coca-Cola coffee?!?!?!?! That's some Warhammer 40K levels of heresy right there for ya. Soda and coffee need to be mutually exclusive, dang it!
Cola & Coffee is a trend that's going for way too long xD And then there's coffee & juice (as in orange juice) which was also a trend and is also really horrible if you'd ask me xD and a friend of mine simply put cola and orange juice into his coffee.......... idk how he could drink that.
It just amazes me that countries that are supposedly doing worst then the United States have 7 11 stores with better foods and products then ours. Though knowing how messed up the government is with regulations and how everyone wants their cut out of anything in the US i can understand why we have cheap worthless products and 7 11s that have like nothing special. even fast food the US is so terrible.
i’m from the North of Mexico, it’s not a thing up here, but as far as i’m aware of, it’s pretty normal to put potatoes on tacos down in CDMX, specially if they out nopales too, but again, i can’t tell you a 100% sure
To me it looks interesting, although I once had some tacos with diced fried potatoes and nopales instead of cilantro and cebolla and they were AMAZING!!! It was a place in Tulcingo, Puebla like 14 years ago.
@@LordDefekator OXXO main sales point it’s beer. They don’t care about Mexican beer, they’re best seller it’s Milwaukee and Budweiser. They have 1 Mexican brand of chips Barcel, and 2 Mexican brands of candy De la Rosa and Marinela. Gamesa was sold to a South American company in partnership whit a US company. Everything else it’s US brands.
@@miguelangelquezada6404 You are confused. One thing is the brand and other is the company. Gamesa is a Mexican brand, own by a foreign company. All Mexican brands are produced in Mexico. The same with Coca Cola products (the brand is USAmerican but the Mexican company who makes and sell the products is Femsa.

you know you are in a good taco place when the cutting board has a dent
Those peanuts are sold in Mexican shops in the US. They're called Japanese style peanuts. Also coffee Coke is also sold in the US.
I thought coffee coke got discontinued a few years ago
@@liz2880I was just about to say. I remember having it all the time a couple of years ago
"Fondue to go" bruh that is a hotpocket
Well I guess the one thing you did learn is that you do not eat food from convenience stores in Mexico😂
Japan's convenience stores 10/10 mexico convenience stores 5/10

to me he kinda enjoyed it!
24 hours of eating Mexican convenience store food, 72 hours of Montezuma's Revenge.
Wouldn't be complete without the check engine light in the uber at the beginning lol
My man. You are officially Mexican, you know how to eat right. Provecho!!!!!
deberias probar dulces tradicionales mexicanos, ve a un mercado y encontraras diveridad de comida y frutas de temporada
Cactus on a taco sounds good! I’m intrigued to try!
Look up recipes for nopales, they’re so damn good with anything meat/tacos

@@leftoflibra and you know this how
taste like lime chillies and water... literally the flavor advertised.
Maybe take someone with you who knows more about the 7/11 snacks Mike cause there’s so many things you missed 😭😭😭
If I do Nissin Cup noodles, I cook it a bit less and then I drain the broth into a secondary bowl. Helps to keep the noodles from getting soggy.
Those peanuts are Japanese. A Japanese migrant started selling them in Mexico as Japanese peanuts… funny fact, if you go to Japan they sell them… but, they’re called Mexican peanuts.
Leave it to OXXO to redeem the convenience store food 😂
The Japanese have perfected the convenient store game!! Can’t touch their quality
Please come to the RGV! You need to try so many taquerias here!
Ana Liz taqueria is award winning!
*I could eat tacos every single day of the week.* 🌮💛
If you still are in Mexico City you need to try the "chile en nogada". It's a seasonal traditional Mexican dish and right now is the season!
What does that entail? My nephew and nieces are headed there in a week ? Any ideas what to expect? 😊

Yes, 7/11 in the states are not pleasing. When you travel Mike. You find good eats. Enjoy & safe travels!! 🐞🤗

Hi Mike! I'm Calista from KOLSup. Your food reviews and culinary insights are amazing! 😄 Have you thought about having your own website?
Good day, Mikey!!! All the traveling you do is so amazing!!!
So amazing
The best thing to get in Mexican convenience stores are the pastries, chips, and candy
We always called the coated peanuts Cracker nuts 😋
It's a sin having breakfast at a 7-11 in Mexico City. I hope it's a one time thing. 😂
the icee jelly beans are in the states to but they treat them like limited edition candies to much.
Mexico city is high up in elevation so always cooler then other parts n city
Coke & Coffee is great for a hangover
Consecutive runs to convenience store dining is NASTY WORK
I wanna hear how you order all these dishes
Thank You For Mike Chan Mexico 🇲🇽 & Peru 🇵🇪 then Nicaragua 🇳🇮 then delicious 😋 🌮
before any peenoise gets offended. longaniza is originally from spain, PH merely adopted it
Peppers didn't come from Spain. That longaniza didn't exist before peppers.
And Tomato is native from Mexico, did Italians adopted our food too?
Hahahaha!! Ice see this and Run!!!! hahahahahaha!!!
Salsa from a volcano 🌋 😅😅😂❤
Never seen potato / french fries on tacos / burritos? My man needs to stop eating out of 7-11 and go to San Diego haha

All you need is a Corona to go with those tacos.
hahaha mike the chesse from the burrito it was actually imitation chesse ,not real chesse
all chesse is good chesse my friend
wtf? imitation cheese??
Cmon men. Convenient stores in Mexico? Something not even us Mexicans try, way better eating some street tacos o any other street food you see
Man those are some serious eye bags.
@@SmallGuy845 No bag is big enough to contain your insecurities.
@@skotdude Boohoo I'm going to cry now, you hurt my feelings. Keep working on those games no one cares about.
We don't like Nissin Cup Noodles, those are horrible, we love Maruchan Lemon Habanero
You need to go to " Fonda Margarita" to have a proper breakfast
Notice got sauce on blue shirt lol under kneck lol
I addicted to your channel. ❤ from Nigeria
When you get spoiled so many times over the years with 7/eleven in Japan and SE asia no where else even comes close.
Agree!
65 cents per taco sheeesh, here in the states is 1.50 per taco can wait to go back
I had street tacos in a town near Tulum... I got montezuma's revenge... but it was the best taco I've ever had and I would do it all again 😂
I'm glad you took the street food route! Food is sooo much better, homemade and authentic in little street vendors.
Who ever sold you Those tacos with French fries deserves a life sentence

They are called tacos borrachos pretty common in cdmx I can tell you not from there with your profile picture 🤣
But is it umami?
Dude. You don't have to get everything that HOT lol
oxxo here is like flavour cubes lol
This was a tough one Mikey 🤷🏾♀️ you didn't like anything 🤷🏾♀️ better luck 😍

Careful with your exercising mike!! 😬😬😁😁
7 11 obviously is paying him. Cause that pizza looked like garbage.
making me hungry at midnite lol
I love coke coffee I miss it so much
That's the one thing that's a miss is overly spicy products with lime which ruins the flavor everytime
how do you maintain your body looking great eating all this food? tell us! lol
You should come to Mexico more often, there's a lot of food more to discover :)
I love how you just go for it your not scared to put it in your mouth so 🤤 YUMMY 🤤
You have to come to Thailand and eat 7-11, great food very cheap
I eat there at least once a day
He's already been there and has eating at 7 Eleven in Thailand.
The peanut snack reminded me of Nagaraya nuts but with way more seasoning, lol
l love gooey burritos
U need to try some (sopes) they are so good
Gas stations there are like the gas station in the US. Nothing great... Go get some pozole or menudo or chilaquiles or the skinny burritos 🤤
Come visit Indonesia again Mike

First he said the sandwich is not spicy enough then he changes his mind lol 🤣
