Cooking Oaxacan mole negro from scratch was one of the best food and cultural experiences I’ve ever had. On top of that, we didn’t really know what we were going to do when we set off in the morning… but things worked out for the best. Thank you to Javier and his family for inviting us into their home to cook amazing Oaxacan food!
So in the morning the plan was
Rent a van for the day
Drive to a village
Find a market
Ask a nice Grandmother or Aunty to cook us some authentic Oaxacan mole negro
Now, mole negro is one of the most complex and mysterious of all the Oaxacan Mexican food dishes. There’s such a huge mix of random ingredients in the dish, and no one knows for sure how it was invented or how it came about - there are only legends.
After renting a van for the day, our driver Javier came to pick us up and we started talking with him to see if he knew anyone that would make us Oaxacan mole negro from scratch. He called his Mom, and she agreed!
We picked up Mom in a place called Tlacolula de Matamoros, and we went straight to the market to buy all the ingredients for mole negro. Tlacolula de Matamoros is a predominantly Zapotec town, an Indigenous pre-Columbian civilization from the Valley of Oaxaca
We got back to the house and started preparing all the ingredients. Let me tell you, mole negro has to be one of the most complex and mysterious of all Mexican food. It includes so many random and seemingly odd ingredients. It was a lot of fun to learn how to make it.
The end result of the Oaxacan mole negro, was supreme. The sauce was so rich, chocolatey, and you could taste all the random ingredients in it - the nuts and dried fruit. It’s deliciously complex.
Mole was amazing, and having the chance to hang out in a traditional Oaxacan village to cook was priceless.

That kitchen may not look fancy but let me tell you, any food cooked in clay pans with fire wood is the best tasting food ever in the world.
eso es correcto, amigo.!
Facts
Not only that, but, the food from those humble kitchens is more valuable than a dish from a fancy restaurant that costs hundreds of dollars because of 2 essential ingredients they put in the food; passion and love.
so true!!!!!
They are made with passion and love.
The mom saying “if you had let me know yesterday I would’ve had everything” lol I felt that
hamsterduh 🤣🤣🤣🇲🇽🇲🇽I heard that loud and clear !!! Like 🙄really dude I would’ve prepared for our guests
😂 typical Mexican mom scolding her kids!
Yeah she didn't miss the chance to say something to her son 😂
Haha, the way he says “I didn’t know” and she just replies with “pues si”... I swear that’s the most passive aggressive reply you can give to your child and I say it ALL the time 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
3:21 the Mom saying "you should had told me before and by now i'd have everything!" and the Son "but (mom) i didn't even knew by then..." LMAO... typical mother-son interaction
Nuestra gente humilde, trabajadora pero con mucho corazón. Eso es Mexico!
AMEN!!!
I am Italian, but I lived and worked with Mexicans for many years. They are hard working, honest, kind and generous people ! Viva México!
Gracias!!!
Thats right!!!
Giovanni Serafino thank you friend
Viva la mexico!
Gracias
Dude this woman needs to be remembered and commemorated for everything she did for you. This was amazing.
Cody Hendricks That’s literally what I was saying. I hope she got paid for all her work and generosity. People in Mexico are so nice sometimes that I wouldn’t be surprised if they offered to pay her and she said no.
@F D Yes, totally, this kind of hospitality and open friendliness is hard to find. This lady's generosity needs to be well rewarded.
how about a nobel prize for amazingness.
He said he paid for the ingredients and did you see that massive vat of mole paste they made. They have enough paste for like a year
We Mexicans are like that. Everywhere.
Visit México and you'll be amazed.
Oh my god!!!! que rico! I am from El Salvador. Viva Mexico! Maravillosa gente.
I am Swiss and lived in Switzerland most of my life ... my mother was Mexican (and my father Swiss german) .. I remember when she was doing Mole , she often invited many people for dinner. High level dinners with high level and well dressed people. For the occasion, sometimes she was doing Mole.
What you see from this guy, like this impatience, an "overdone" emotion of expectation and at 24:50 his attitude ... is all true !! that is how i was feeling with my brother about the Mole of my mom.
Ohh gosh .. .and the worse is that she was always doing waaaaaay more than needed because we would eat Mole for some more days for us, the family, at home. But sometimes, it was so good ... that invited people would still finish it ... meaning eating like 3 times what an adult would eat !! big was our frustration .. and sometimes she felt forced to make Mole again ... for us, the family. understanding our frustration.
Mole is a unique dish ... truly unique. There is no such other dish in the world. I am 57yrs old, traveled A LOT in the world, ... My prefered foods are : Chateaubriand ... (french meat), Pekin lacked duck (China) ... well prepared caviar (with all the preparation and toasts) .... coocked and steamed lam from Azerbaidjan, In Qatar they did the same style of lam) ..... B U T my PREFERED DISH is chicken M O L E with frijoles and tortillas. The best dish in the word.
Any mole will make it ... but the Oaxacan mole will just kill you..
THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD. (And again ... i traveled well , i truly lived on 4 continents (no Australia) and tried so many foods ... .
.
PS and Mexicans are amazing how they invite you at home ... : my casa es su casa .. is absolutely true.
@bina nocht Frijoles are cooked beans - usually Pinto-type beans - , seasoned with salt and a couple of other ingredients for flavoring ( like garlic/onion, an herb or two). The Mexican herb epazote is usually added to beans while cooking, to counteract gas production in your digesting; it has a flavor too.
I am curious: where did your mom get the ingredients in Europe?
They're not easy to get even in the USA.
@@unusuario5173 when we or friends were going to Mexico for holidays. No internet, or international ordering at the time. So when a friend would go, she would bring back for the others.
Viele Grüße aus Mexiko, Ihr seid hier immer willkommen.
I'm Mexican and even to me mole is always a Fiesta dish, there are different types of mole but poblano and Oaxaqueno moles are at the top. Great culinary culture in my country, everybody is welcome. No kidding when they say mexican culture is one of the warmest in the world.
Dude, as a Mexican a have to say this is one of the most Mexican videos I've ever seen!!! You were so lucky to live that priceless experience.
wrong, this guy is a huge fake fool
Brent Lancaster Is he? Care to explain?
Yes friend hello wou are you
@@intramotus So fake that he travels the world and eat the best foods and gets paid to do so, jealous much?
Edgar OM f
When she said "Mucho trabajo el mole" I immediately thought "that's why she was pissed that her son told her last minute 😂
and yet she still did it with a kind heart bless this beautiful senora : )
Of course!!!! Very mexican not letting know the visits you are mad! Lovely
I was thinking the same thing - like she had nothing else to do that day! Hopefully she was well compensated
Nina Xeon Nope she was probably very happy to have this guy for dinner. A lot of Mexican cultures do as the sons say and never say no to them. If a daughter invited him it would of been a whole different story.
Nina Xeon I laughed and immediately thought of my tias 😂
Homemade tortillas with mole and chicken is just heavenly.
paleta payaso
This mum is a awesome person. So kind & hospitable.
Did anyone notice at 9:26 how the older gentleman, likely the woman's husband, sat down with his wife and helped prepare the chilies.
If folks would like a "top 5 things" to a long lasting marriage - that is definitely one of them. It warmed my heart to see it.
Keith Henson that old guy is my grandfather also that isn't his wife his wife/my grandma died a long time ago when my mom was like 15 I never got to meet her May she rest in peace
Keith Henson also thank you for pointing it out
She made him do it lol
I saw that too! And a very similar thought crossed my mind as well. He sat down and helped her with a pretty tedious task not only without being asked, but as if out of habit. If more men did this many marriages/people would be a lot better off.
That’s how we do it. It’s a Mexican thing. My dad is a great chef he actually cooks more then my ma
Bless that woman for putting so much effort into making that dish respect to her!!!!
lee GymRoyalty especially with not a lot of warning. I bet a lot of us have done something similar to our mum's.
Right!? Makes me feel like such a lazy bum! Bless her is right! :)
I lived in Oaxaca while studying at UNAM and the mole is amazing as all the food. The chapulines are just as delicious too.
Mole with homemade tortillas de maíz y una Coca familiar bien fría es lo máximo! Y no se diga de la gente! Hermosos todos.
Yes, they didn't even get to the chapulines. In food.. !!😂
In OTHER DISHES..
Mole is the most amazing Mexican food I have ever had. I am jealous you got to experience this. So nice of them to invite you.
Mole is the best its my favorite neck and neck with the mexican enchiladas from michoacan. I will try to recreate this recepie, i knownit wont taste the same the ingredients are fresh and organic true to mexican soil. But ill try! Lol i live in texas but was born in mexico i love that my culture is potrayed in this wonderful facet. Our food is truly amazing 🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕💕
This was as authentic as it gets.
Amen, I had the same thought, I’ve never had mole made from scratch.
And there are so many different types of moles too all different colors
Thanks for showing us the great, handmade food from a part of Mexico that is rarely seen in the Media. ¡Viva México desde los estados unidos! 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 🇲🇽
Salud 🍻💯🇲🇽
I love you for just leaving a kind comment. Hell yes this is bomb. Try it.
Love from mexico my brother!!! When ever you wanna come by! In the north of mexico We show you some grilling and some good beer!!
Wow, grilling! What a marveleous dish! I suppose americans dont eat that food each sunday!
Viva la food ✌😎😜
La voz de la señora regañando a su hijo por no haberle avisado jajajaja no tiene precio.
Todas las mamás mexicanas son asi jaja
eso no lo tiene ni COCO
@@MetalRockAvenue that's true.
Lo mismo dije yo. 😂 Mi mama diria lo mismo.
María José Rodríguez Granados yo como saque Curas en esa parte!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m proud to be Mexican, everyone of your interactions in Mexico has made me feel even more love for my culture.🇲🇽
Mark. You are the luckiest men to have experienced the most traditional way to make mole.
Recognize the amazing meal these people can make with zero electricity, and lots of handmade love. The best food is handmade
Noah Belcher thats the secret of mexican food, and also thats why mexican food made in the US are so disappointing and bad for a real mexican. By the way, we don’t eat nachos whit cheese, and we don’t eat tacos whit rice.
Handmade food is the way mexicans (and many others, like italians) show love. For example, our abuelitas will feed us non stop even if we are full; our dads will make a carne asada or barbacoa for the family, and our moms will give us a freshly handmade tortilla with butter or a pinch of salt. Food is a language that feeds the body, that feeds the soul.

carlos gil yeah I know. I work for an authentic Mexican restaurant ran by wonderfully nice people. Probably some of the nicest people ever. Everything made from scratch. No short cuts no half assin around
Beautifully and appropriately said, brother... Thank you... Because in my experience... food made with such quality of ingredients... AND SPIRIT used in giving focus upon the crafting of the food being created is greatly important. 🙏🙏🙏
"Ayer me hubieras dicho y ya hubiera ido a comprar todo"
"Pero pues yo no sabía"
"Pues si..."
Jajajajaja el chico de la van no se salvó de la regañada que le pegó la mamá por no avisarle con más tiempo
Carolina Martínez 😂😂😂 las mamas siempre regañándolo a uno por todo y nada 😆
Pense lo mismo!!!!! jajaja
😂😂😂
Jajaja es un clásico de las mamás jajaja
can someone translate 😂
Im mexican. But ive never been to oaxaca or had an experience quite like yours. Im a lil envious right now. Lol. But i had a oaxacan neighbor a few years back. Ive had mole made from scratch and its so delicious. Corn tortillas and mole are a gift from God
Cómo no te va a encantar el "MOLE" si es uno de los platillos que más representa a México, es delicioso y no existe comparación en el mundo entero!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻...
He eats the mole like Mexican style!!! He is a real Mexican!!! He cleaned the plate with tortilla when he finished to eat the mole, and clean his mouth with his tshirt!! Good for you!! You are now a real Mexican!!!!!
damn right!! we have a saying... "pa que quiero agruras si con el mole tengo".... make sure to have you TUMs handy whenever you eat mole, or even better, Sal de Uvas Picot.
Cleaning up the plate with a tortilla is a Mexican signature, hehe
As a Hispanic this habit of using the tortilla to finish off a plate was literally taught from youth :P

I thought he was mexican??? He doesn't look white.
Everyone in Mexico is so generous. They can literally know you for about two seconds and they'll already be feeding you and making you feel like home. I love Mexico.
Yes Mexicans are kind and generous. I'm pretty sure Mark also paid or offer them compensation behind the scenes as he has with other families/ people. He is a good guy and understand the financial constraints and economic differences of people in different areas/countries. I also like that he is always respectful of other cultures and appreciates them.
soulassassin0g I've never been but I'm going this coming Friday so excited and I'm going to be blogging while they're so guys go subscribe to my channel to see what Mexico have to offer a lot i no lol
KOURTNEY Bush Tutorial when r u going so I can watch your video
Oaxaca is a place that I have been a few times, my mother was born there; but even if people didn´t know who I was, they offer you water or a taco not expecting anything in exchange, they would do that with all the people from anywhere. Hope my english isn´t so bad.
Yet if they come to Amerika they're treated like criminals.
I stayed in Teotitlan de Valle in the early 80's. During the Danza de la Pluma fiesta the family made their Mole sauce with fresh chicken blood! We ate mole, tamales, and drank pulque for a week. Those were the days!!
That’s a mighty fine combination of foods right there
For those of you that had never been in Oaxaca it is absolutely beautiful and the mole has to be the best dish in the world there many varieties but if you ever have a chance to go you will never want to leave I have been all over the world and by far the best food in the land it is a magical place thanks Mark!!!!
I’m so proud to be part of a culture that is so kind and inviting. Even when we don’t have much we find a way to share what we have.
You should be proud!
Even if it's just some fire hearth cooked beans, cheese, tortillas & hot chocolate or coffee my grandma would welcome any visitor to her table! 💖😊
I love being Hispanic. Going and visiting where my parents grew up and learning the dishes they cooked and ate when they didnt have much is amazing. I'm so proud of my culture. We truly are wonderful people
Yours is beautiful culture. Let no walls stand between us!
Jennifer Ferreyra That is so true! I’m lucky to live in Houston! Most of my friends are Latino and I love it when there moms and grandmas cook for us. So delicious! ☺️
While visiting in Sonora, my uncle and I were going for an hours long drive to get supplies for his store. On our way (at 5am) we stopped at this little brick house way out in the middle of no where. This widowed old lady lived there all alone and he would check on her at times. As poor as she was she invited us in and insisted on making breakfast: hot coffee, some fried eggs, beans and homemade flour tortillas. That was one of the best breakfasts ever and I've never forgotten her kindness. Oh on the way back my uncle dropped off: flour, rice, sugar, coffee, and other foods for the old lady. Seems he bought her food all the time. Guess he was kind too.
When you are living alone in isolated area you want or value visitors. Someone to chat with or do something for them. When delivering meals on wheels to shut ins it made me sad they had no family to visit or help them. So many of them just wanted to chat and talk. But had other meals to deliver so could not chat for too long.
Soo sweet
Kindness is magic.
Awesome story. God bless your uncle.
Bless them both, and you too 💓
Love and respect goes out to all who hand prepared this meal for this video! A lot of love and hard work goes into preparing a dish like this and that's what makes it so delicious. My love for Mexican food runs deep! Great video.
Such humble humans, but their culinary talents are second to none. Much love.
When she said “ me hubieras dicho ayer así tuviera todo” and the driver says “ es que yo no sabia “ is me and my mom 💀😂

This is Oaxaca, Mèxico; for you guys.
Is humble loving people. In some parts of Oaxaca, they don’t have nursing homes. Just cuz they think, that family is the most important part of everybody’s life.
Thank you!!!
Blessings 🙏🏽
mexicans are probably one of the most welcoming, nicest, generous people you’ll ever meet
+Carlos Guzman Javier's village and familia reminds me of one of my favorite movies, " The Magnificent Seven. " Boriqua, Carlos?
This video makes me so thankful for my Mother in Law who spoils me with Mole whenever I have my cravings.
That’s so cool man! ✌️
Watching this video made my mouth water! No joke! Chicken and mole is, by far, my favorite Mexican dish. Its something my grandmother made when I was young, so this really took me back. I'm 53 now and I can't tell you how much I miss those days of being at grandmas house when she worked for hours to make this delicious dish. I love you grandma, and thank you.
This is a beautiful video. I lived a semester in México and was so impressed with the hospitality of the people and friendship. We found everything to taste better there, meat, vegetables and fruit, dairy, breads. ¡México no hay dos!
I know
please do come back!!!!!! México is like a mini continent, where every state is like a diferent country with it's own culture. Sadly, most mexicans will never know how complex and vast our own country is ... but we welcome with open arms everyone willing to explore and get to know us beyond the labels and preconceived ideas.
I wish more Americans would go and visit, they always fall in love. I feel like the ones who don’t always have the wrong idea mostly because of media.
Thank you Mr. Bennett. I wished more Americans would think like you, Sir, instead some have portrayed us "Mexicans" as bad people.

"I'm under the influence of mole" hahaha... it's hallucinating... you are privileged, dude, mole from scratch made by oaxacan hands, is like heaven
La Pura Chulada: Decoración, Manualidades, Cocina - What did he mean by that? Does the mole cause hallucinations?
Usagi ST4R no, of course not. It was an expression
La Pura Chulada: Decoración, Manualidades, Cocina molé, like chocolate, is a falling in love feeling
Mark was about to explode in how much he ate!!!! He had that huge pot next to him. “Con confianza mijo, que no te de pena”. Dude flew with it!!!! Love it!!!!
I love the part that they all are involved, even the Grandpa does his job in the kitchen :)
i love our filipino dish but mexican food is like God-tier level
I'm Dominican and I must say I love Mexican food and love trying out different things but what I like most about Mexico is how heartwarming they are into bringing people into their home and making them feel like a part of the family ps I have amazing Mexican friends ❤️❤️❤️ QUE VIVA MEXICO !!!

Awee the mom said “you should have told me yesterday, I would of buy all the ingredients myself” Mexicans are so generous!
Antonio Cabarr Facts
Antonio Cabarr ...Yes, some of the finest people on this earth are in Mexico. I miss Mexico so much...
Antonio Cabarr brought me back childhood memories when I would sit and help my grandma desvenar los chiles and limpiar los nopales.
Antonio Cabarr. I heard that and thought the same.
What a fascinating video. When I was in my late teens I would cross the street and hang out with my brother-in-laws family (before he was my Cunado). Before mealtime his mom and sisters would make tortillas and prep for whatever meal they were having. I was always invited to eat with them and I never turned the opportunity down. I have to say, this was an eye opener for what I have missed. You are very fortunate to have experienced this.
This came up in my feed, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Mexican culture is so diverse. My Mexican friends speaks 4 languages; 2 indigenous from Vera Cruz, Spanish and English. I've been exposed to the cuisine and people for about 20 yrs now and I love them. They are loyal, generous and the food is much more than many of us thought. Please include Mexico in your prayers. God bless Mexico forever! 🇲🇽
I am from Puerto Rico and have never had mole. Now I want some so bad! Hugs to all our Mexican brothers and sisters!
You're missing out. Had it yet? Make sure someone's abuelita makes it.
@@htownjesse frrr my abuela makes the best moleeeee
TH-cam it bro
Let me know next time your in Dallas I got you fam.
Dale 👍🏽
Now I understand why Mexican food is an intangible heritage of humanity. 😱
Te entendí 😱😱😱 ya se inglés 😱🙈
Yes. But mole, is not "chocolate stew."
Well said, well said my friend.
@Roberto Martinez what are the others ?
@@gggnarly if I remember correctly is Mediterranean, French and Japanese
I don’t care if I offend people but Mexican food is the best food in the world. Not just with taste but with culture as well many of these recipes are traced down to Mayan, Aztec and other indigenous tribes from Mexico. Mexico is one of the few countries in the world to show respect and love with its indigenous people as seen with its lovely flag🇲🇽
Like always what always makes the food better is the experience and the lovely people cooking it, a lot of people in Mexico will always invite you to eat if you go to their house, even if they don’t have much they always offer.
Viva Mexico 🇲🇽 much love to everyone❤️🤘🏼
She said it's spicy...adds another tablespoon of salsa! I love Mark! LOL
Cleanin sauce off the plate w tortilla is a spiritual experience.
It reminds me the Italian habit of cleaning the dish with a piece of bread after ate a saucy dish of pasta. In southern Italy this practice is named "scarpetta" which means "little shoes" because of the shape of the piece of bread.
Amen... Carnal..
Yes, it is. it's the only way I know. that's how I was taught.
That is the correct way to eat mole
Big love to Mexico 🇲🇽 from Emiratos Arabes Unidos 🇦🇪❤️ Viva Mexico 😁✌🏽

Wow I honestly wasn't expecting some many different nationalities to be so moved and amazed of Hispanic culture. Reading the comments here bring me some much joy and appreciation for my family
The fact is true, a Mexican family will always take in strangers and feed them and make them feel welcome. Just be courteous and polite.
True!
Most Central and South American countries have that same culture. I know my family certainly does and they are from Belize. We just love everyone.
That's very true! I see many similarities between Mexican and Arabs. We always want to feed our guests and we treats our guests like kings and queens ❤
Truth! At my grandma’s house, she always made sure everyone’s plates were full and nobody went home hungry, even if they weren’t family.

Hi to all mexican out there 🇲🇽 from iran 🇮🇷,
We persian have something very similar to mole called (fesenjun)
You should try that one too,
fasejun... tell me more.
Argelia Hinojosa-Gonzalez th-cam.com/video/TbBxkTldDAU/w-d-xo.html
Here you go, it’s tasty
I am Mexican and I'd really love to go to Iran. One day I'll go to know that beautiful place full of culture.
I'm Mexican, but live in Chicago. I'm surrounded by Persian restaurants. I've tried fesenjan a few times & it really did remind me of mole. Only it's a little on the sour/tamarind tasting.
There’s no similar way to make mole, every state and family do it differently. I would love to try fesenjun :)
40 years ago I had the privilege of attending a family's quiceanara at a small village outside of Tehuacan. Chicken mole was served, among numerous other delicious foods. It was the only time I've had mole. I thought it was special then, but seeing this makes me finally realize how very special it was. Thanks for this delightful video, Mark!
That mole looks so good ...... I usually make mole with the premade paste at the supermarket and it’s good and all but the mole from scratch is on a whole other level 😋
I can verify Mole is one of the most delicious dishes on Earth. Seriously, it's SO GOOD! I'd pay this family a lot of money to cook up this tasty food. Such lovely people there in Mexico. Love from Texas!
@@selah7779 have you tried them?
Mole is disgusting 🤢
Yes, the Mama to do all that work in the day, I hope they offered her a lot of pay!!!!
I’m just a black guy that now lives in Texas but let me tell you,I love,appreciate and have the most respect for my Mexican fam.
Bro, welcome to Mexico when do you want to come, Mi casa es tu casa brother.
likewise brotha man
Man Mexico is awesome, i'm a Russian and i lived there like 10 years and Mexicans made me feel at home from day 1!, god bless Mexicans
if u think about it, there's tons of similarities between mexican food and soul food. the tastes and the ingredients. this is coming from a young black girl that grew up watching my grandma cook. i am half native american and half black. i love soul food!
@@BRACKUS001 I used to visit El Paso with a very close friend of mine and he would take me to his family’s home and I have never had anything like his moms cooking it was out of this world.
"Three kilos... four kilos... more or less" lol felt that

Lilia Rivera jaaaaaaa
Es lo normal en Oaxaca. De hecho hay zonas en Oaxaca en donde se vive en un matriarcado. 🤷😂
What a beautiful, welcoming person the mom is. How kind of her to make a mole for Mark without even knowing him.
It was cute how she told her son "If you had told me sooner, I would have gone to buy all of the ingredients!"
And her son is all,
"I didn't know this was going to happen!"
😂😂😂
Terra Nova most mexican moms are like that😂my in laws are the same. welcomed me with open arms and served me whatever i wanted. great people in the small towns! its a shame the drug war is the only thing in the news....because 80% of mexican people are just like this. welcoming and kind
Brittanya Hope Milagro exactly!!! But the news is very much at fault. I spent a few weeks in various parts of Mexico recently and it was amazing! However I did notice that the news in Mexico does to its citizens what USA news does to us. Anyone who watches news in Mexico would think that if we stick our heads out the door of our homes a terrorist will blow us up! And we see that in Mexico you will be shot by a cartel if you set foot there. It’s all exaggerated on both sides...BIG TIME! I as well as many other tourists I encountered while in Mexico had a FANTASTIC TIME! I was walking in the plaza at 11:00 pm with a bunch of other people eating delicious food, talking, and laughing. It was great! Can’t wait to go back at the end of the year
most latino moms are like that !!!! my mom says that every time I get friends over to get her home made pupusas
Terra Nova a
This family preparing food together makes me smile ear to ear. We need more of these in this world.
In true abuelita fashion, you leave with food haha I can say your first homemade Mole is an entire experience! LOVED this video
26:05 ¿Ya no quiere mas mole? ¿Como le digo que si quiere mas?
Awww la señora me da ternura 💕
❤❤❤
😍😍😍😍
Es un amor 💓
What did she say?
hip hop addict "do you want more? how do i ask him if he wants more?"
The mom getting after the son around the 3:24 mark is hilarious. She's telling him "you should've told me yesterday and I could have gone and bought everything." The son's like "I didn't know!". lol
FirstName LastName 🤣🤣🤣🤣I laughed when I heard, bahahah my mom would have said the same thing.
FirstName LastName that gave me elementary school flashbacks XD
Lmao she gets after him too when he keeps asking if they added the chocolate and she’s like QUEE SIII
As a Mexican, this guy is very lucky to be invited by this familia to enjoy their home made Mole. I can smell it and taste it just by watching this video. Thank you for this video I cant wait to make it myself. And thank you the this Familia, very lovely and so heart warming to see their hospitality being shared with a stranger and make him feel like he is part of the family.
ASÍ ES NÚESTRO MÉXICO AMADO 🇲🇽🤗🕊️

Thank you, Sweden is awesome!
The good people of Mexico are some of the best people in all the world. I absolutely miss experiences like this. Thank you, Mark for sharing this experience. Thank you Javier, Mom, and Family. The most memorable experiences while traveling are unplanned. AMAZING!
Mylon Ash Thank you Amigo 🙋
So much awesomeness in Mexican culture.....
Ataca Oaxaca!! Mi gente, tan autentica y humilde! Dios los guarde...
When she asked "how do I ask him if he wants more" that reminded me of my grandmothers back in el Rancho. They were always feeding me and if I told them I was full they would give me more lol. I thank god that I've experienced Mexico like this. It's a very powerful feeling of happiness. Thank you for making your amazing videos sir.
Same thing happened 2 me bro👍✌
when this happen?
❤❤
Grandmas are the best, they make the best food and they take care of the family like nobody else
Why do gringos go to Mexico if it's not part of north America.
my favorite thing is hearing her laughing while she cooks in the background, warms my heart
Definitely
I was thinking the exact same thing. Memory lane for sure.
She is the best Mole Lady ever, so blessed Mark to eat her cooking. AWESOME!
Brings back so many memories, my family lived in Puebla, Puebla from 1995 to 1997 and the food was SO GREAT, the mole was outstanding and the people were wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom was born in this exact village. I remember as a kid her telling me stories how she grew up and the different types of food she ate. My mother was a great cook and worked in the restuarant business for twenty years. Thank you for this amazing video it reminds of her.
dios bendiga su alma amigo
I've never seen a video with so much positive comments, love this!
Fat Tony Slim Indeed! A good man visits good people who cook good food for a good time.
It’s impossible not to smile as you watch this video.
vondahe please
@@vondahe Amen!!
he's got such a positive attitude-with no preconceived ideas where ever he goes
I call this the Mexican soul food it literally brings the whole family together when you cook this dish it is so amazingly good 💝🙏
I'm Mexican, and I LOVE mole. It is my favorite dish. 😋
WOW.
Now I understand why are Latino families are so so close.
It take a family to make a meal.
As a senior I remember those days in our family.
This bring me to tears.
Thanks Mark.
moni you know imma ask mum for her recipe she makes great mole
r u okay linda
They are in fact zapotecs not latinos. This people are native and spoke native lenguage and spoke spanish too. México is so diverse that the word "latino" can be unacurrate.
My friend, u officially became Mexican when u cleaned that plate with ur white corn tortilla 29:12👏👏👏👏🇲🇽such kind eyes portraying excitement and amazement for my beautiful Mexican culture and country 😊 proud to be Mexican!
I'll drag a tortilla over the stove top and eat it dry weekly
Bangalees and indians eat roti (tortilla) a lot and they clean their plate with the roti so yeah it did not make him mexican😂
@@juparisa6266 why u gotta burst my bubble 😭😂😂😂😂 but ur right😏
jajaja cierto
JaneDoe that’s a sure shot way to know if someone is properly cultured in the Mexican ways..
One only one my most FAVORITE VIDEOS!!! This is the Mole of my dreams to make and eat when I go to Mexico💜💜
Love the scolding “ you should of let me know yesterday I would gone out and bought everything already” gotta love moms
What a kind and generous woman! I can’t imagine doing all that work for my family, much less for a stranger! 🤣
I gotta admit, I cried a little. Watching my home town on your video. That is Oaxaca for ya'll. Mi Oaxaca lindo y querido. Yes Mole is the best💕 I'm glad you got to experience Oaxacan Mole💙
Johannah Haugen dude, same :’)
I cried when she finally served him and he was talking about the mole. Looking at the family in the background so proud got me 💕😭💕💕
I'm not from Oaxaca but you guys have some of the best Quesos and definitely the best Moles too. I'm from Nayarit!
Proud to be Mixtecan and Zapotec
I'm from India 🇮🇳. Tell Xavier's mami, Te queiro muchísimo y orgulloso por su gente y dulce. Love ❤😘❤😘❤😘❤😘
This is my favorite video of Mark W , such a special experience. Love the Mexican mole !!! Viva Mexico🇲🇽
As a Mexican, this video made me cry.. I LOVE MY MÉXICO 🇲🇽.
Dude, it was a privilege to watch. Amazing video 🙏🏽
My ancestors are Mexican and I cried 😢
As an American I’m always a skeptic, this is “muy athentico?” ;)
Mexico 🇲🇽 best place to eat "Real Comida Mexicana" F the rest
Shut up bitch
Mark, Im just out of words.
Looking at you being so amazed and respectful at our culture... Its amazing.
I still remember my great grandmother making mole from scratch 😍

There are as many styles of mole as there are Mexicians and they are all wonderful . A true new world food .
This is so beautiful, i would love to see Mexico once in my lifetime.
Peace and prayers for Mexican people from Pakistan.🇵🇰💚🇲🇽🌮

@@htownjesse i may have to adjust it in Halal style first...also it seems like a hard work 😅😅
I only went to the border of Mexico but my dad and most of my family are from Mexico
@@Figs-and-olives chicken isn’t halal?
Im filipino and this video makes me smile and cry at the same time. i have adopted the hispanic culture in me and im happy watching this video.i love all my mexican friends and family
Wow your very sweet! We need more people like you in this chaotic world. Many blessings beautiful soul!!!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😃😃😃😃😃❤❤❤❤
I call Filipinos primos because I feel as if we are long lost relatives.
Hoy Pare, pinoys are basically the Mexicans of Asia
Great! But Mole is a Mesoamerican food, not Hispanic.
Ni mitz tlazotla Filipinos
Umbekua Filipinos
MI gente eterna
This is your best video. I love mole. I tried, ten years ago, to make it by myself. I turned out wonderfully. I can only imagine how much better it would be if cooked it out in nature, over a wood flame.
Im proud of Mark and Javier and his family. They show us how humanity should treat one another. With love and understanding and open arms.🤗
