How dangerous is Mexico for tourists? Yoropoor here who is fascinated by mexican food but is quite scared about traveling in general and i've heard bad things about mexicans abducting tourists and stuff.

Say are there any real beaners ITT?
My Uncle and I were discussing chocolate sauces recently. He said he had a Mexican recipe but he lost it or forgot it some time ago.
Would you just shave some real cacao into a normal gravy or what?
The thought of such a sauce on roast potatoes and steak has me interested.

Just come the mexican folks will help you all you need. Mexico will leave you with a unforgettable stories for you to take back home. Another thing you might not be able to stay away once you have gotten a true taste. MI CASA ES TU CASA is still a thing in mexico

>>5287465
Don't flaunt your money and you'll be fine. Getting fucked by local police is much more likely than getting mugged or abducted. Police will find every single reason to put charges in you so they can set up a bribe, but if that happens just pretend to be calling a lawyer or your country's embassy and that'll scare them shitless.

I saw the pic and recognized the dishes, I knew it was Nicos and then saw the filename :)
I asked exactly fo that dish and some "pulpo". Godd memories eating at DF.

>>5287436
Cheers mexidude, I'd devour that given the chance.

>>5287450
The Califa de Leon (San cosme, the originals) Are the best Tacos of the universe

>>5287883
Those look good, and you're a fuck for making me hungry at this early hour!

Califa de Leon is on my breakfast menu now!
And fuck you!

>>5287883
looks good

whats with all this mexican shit threads? some mexican idiot trying to make people buy mexican stuff? at least dont be so evident or just go to int

What are the chances that Mexican Cuisine will become much cheaper in Australia in the next 5 years?

I just wish Burgers and Pizza weren't fucking everywhere already.

>>5287550
what is the green salsa made from? i mean other than fresh tomatina's, which are impossible to get in my country.

>>5288592
It looks to be an aguachile. kinda like a ceviche but no tomatillos are added from what I know. http://www.lifeandfoodblog.com/?p=1986

Here's a recipe if you're interested

>>5288632
The only problem with that recipe is that there should be no cooking/curing process. the seafood should be eaten as soon as the marinade is poured, and the lime juice should be blended with everything else. Other than that, looks pretty good.

>>5288656
Isn't that to avoid raw food poisoning?

>>5288672
Think of Aguachile as Sashimi, with a very tangy and spicy sauce.

>>5288588
What sort of foreign cuisines are popular in Australia anyways?

It's kinda hard to find good Mexican food in Canada as well, I always love eating the Mexican food on my trips to the States. But I recently spent 4 weeks traveling around Mexico and the food there was un-fucking-believable, probably the best food I ate so far in my life.

>>5287531
>Pan dulcetacos
Motherfucker those are Conchas.

>>5288697
We've got boring food in canada?

Good Mexican food:
Mole
seafood
tacos
birria
Lamb Barbacoa
sweets
street food
side dishes/antojitos

I really dislike their pan dulce for some reason, too dry and lack of other breads as well

>>5288588
Cheaper mexican down under wow that is very unlikely. Even the northeast is $4 bucks a taco $4 bucks what are they charging for that's nuts.

The best thing is to order seeds and a molcajete (it will likely cost you $150 don't worry they never break) along with dried chilies and follow older videos with grannies preps and don't be a faggot about spice and lard

california or texas should have plenty of exporters if needed

>>5288697
Asian pretty much, and it is generally very fucking good because theres so many asian immigrants, and students, here.

Indonesian and Korean are really catching on lately, and Mexican also has grown, as more of these economies make more money and provide more trade.

>>5288838
try 6$ a taco, for a decent one with decent salsa.

Its fucking extortion mate. Im crying right here.

Would any co/ck/s be kind enough to recommend a cookbook or two for Mexican food? Languages student here that lives about 5 mins from a very good market so most stuff is available.

>>5287479
what are these? they look good

>>5290059
Live in San Antonio. I get tacos 89 cents each. They are huge and the best around my area. I feel sorry for you..

>>5290128

>>5290128
they are coconut candy

>>5290115
Your parents are likely better than any cookbook that's printed. You should talk to them and write everything down, write your own book.

The thing is to write everything down before folk die, and they will die before you. That's natural.

Don't be such a dick, at least give them the name of the dishes. It would be nice if these threads had more information and not just be like those weeboo shitposts that just spam with pictures of jap food.

latinoboos pls

>>5290230
rellena con.....

>>5288588
Not likely since you're infested by indians and pakis. Mexicans have no reason to go to Aussieland.

Pulpa de Jaiba + condimentos en general, algunas personas lo rellenan con salpicon o incluso pescado, pero no es lo mismo.

4 USD is a lot for a single taco, hell man, folk in NYC don't get that for a single taco.

>>5290059
6 USD for a fucking taco, bullshit. Maybe for the wallstreet crowd that likes standing in line to be seen but that's bullshit to me.

>>5290264
>jaiba rellena con jaiba

huh, wow

>>5290274

>>5290278
I know it sounds retarded at first, but think about it as the stuffing, for example with turkey you can push it in, but with jaiba, or crab in general, you need to break it to put the any condimients in, which gives it an extra flavor, it's actually pretty good.

I don't know why people think tacos should be under a dollar. its all about the quality of the ingredients. Whenever I go south of the border I try to find carne asada with cuts such as strip steak or arrachera and usually pay around 3 dollars a pop. I can no longer buy bisctek in the US due to the form of cooking (in a flat top) and the cuts of meat (chuck)

>>5287465

my mom works with a mexican who went down there last year and it sounded like absolute hell.

>>5290059

$6? nigga what

tacos are like the only cheap thing in california

>>5290443
who thinks they should be under $1? I wouldn't trust a taco that cheap

>>5290443
I never saw anyone assert that it should be under a dollar, but then it shouldn't be six or eight dollars either. Something in the middle is more appropriate IMO. Maybe three fiddy?

>>5292787
How much should these tacos be?

just bc hotdogs and hamburgers suck it doesn't mean we don't have good food, even if its original doesn't lie in this country

I'd eat this in bucket sized proportions if I could. BEST in Mexico [Guadalajara had my favorite street vendor], but happy I can find it in my home state. Also, I wish buying the type of corn you need to make this at home would be easier, but the only thing they sell in American supermarkets is sweet corn and that's no good [where's my Mexibro selling the corn from his truck].

>>5287438
Look a normal sized burrito they still exist.

>just pretend to be calling a lawyer or your country's embassy and that'll scare them shitless.
That is horrible advice. For a bribe to get you out of a situation it must be done before things get "official". If you go, or fake, calling an embassy that is when the situation gets real and the legal process needs to play out. If you are contrite, nice, and kiss ass you will likely be let off the hook.
In 12 years as an American in Mexico I have only been shook down by the cops once for 200 pesos, for driving a car without plates. I've been in accidents, been pulled over for legit infractions numerous times and they usually let me go.
From what I have seen they pick on locals a lot more than forigners, because a locals knee jerk reaction is to whip out a bill to make them go away and forigners is to freak out.

>>5288682
This, I have even seen aguachile called sashimi in Sonora.

>>5287465
the abductions happen for the most part to targeted people whos families have money like buisness owners.
Abduction of forigners is almost unheard of. Think about it, it gets really complicated for someone trying to ransom a forigner. Threre are no shortage of easier local targets.

>Yoropoor here who is fascinated by mexican food
Go to Texas, Socal, Arizona, and/or New Mexico. Go see the Grand Canyon or Carlsbad or whatever and pig out on delicious Mexican/Tex Mex/Southwestern goodness in the comfort of a high-trust civil society instead of a Third World shithole.

>>5298780
Mexican food is better in Mexico. There are 5000 types of mexican-only eateries alone in Mexico city ranging from street food to food dining

>>5298800
mean fine dining

Mexifag living in the land of claps.

Anyone got websites with loads of Mexican recipes?

Wanna learn to cook something more than just mole and green pipian.

>>5298800
Of course there are. But the identical good -- and relatively cheap -- article is available on my side of the border, without the risk of rape, robbery, or horrendous sanitation. You just have to look a little longer.

Mexicans are wonderful people with a wonderful culture, but their country is a basket case. After a lifetime of hanging around with them and driving through Mexican neighborhoods at night looking for something to eat, you frankly could not get me to set foot in it right now, and an inexperienced Yuropoor down there will be nothing but a light bulb waiting to get screwed. And he should conduct his Mexican Food Odyssey in a relatively safe environment. Anything else is a disservice to him.

>>5298815
What part of our gigantic land are you living in? Whatever kinds of fresh produce are available in your area at farmers' markets and such should guide you in your selection.

>>5298833
Reminder meat in the us has been frozen.
Some meat has been hanging for as long as 12 years that is poor absolutely poor. I know I held jobs in meatpacking plants.

>>5298854
Uh huh. Meat doesn't even *last* that long unless you hard-freeze it at subzero temps. Pull the other one.

>>5298863
QC at the plant rejected meat over 10 months old regularly(plant guide was 12 months) after some meat check out to be tagged as 12 years old.

>>5298854
Reminder that you can actually go to some farms and kill the animal there yourself if you're that concerned about quality.

12 years my ass. We throw out meat that's been in the freezer for more than a year.

No. Giving someone advice to eat Mexican food in the states over Mexican food in Mexico is like telling someone to eat california rolls in orange county over sushi in tokyo.

What you get in the states is less than 20% of what you get in Mexico. Mexico has different food culture, ingredients and style that would be hard to replicate anywhere else.

jew jersey, I'm close to shitloads of Mexican/hispanic grocery shops, but can't cook for shit.

The few things I know how to cook I learned by watching my mom cook for my family while growing up.
